Immunogenicity of Varicella-Zoster Virus Glycoprotein E Formulated with Lipid Nanoparticles and Nucleic Immunostimulators in Mice

Immunogenicity and Efficacy of Baculovirus Derived Glycoprotein D of Herpes Simplex Virus Type-I in Mice

Covid-19 Vaccination and Reactivation of Varicella Zoster Virus

Introduction: After COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 that mostly affects upper respiratory tract, the scientists investigated an effective vaccine against the virus. As the vaccination of general population started some patients were visited with varicella zoster virus activation following the COVID vaccine.

Characterization of neutralizing epitopes of varicella-zoster virus glycoprotein H.

Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) glycoprotein H (gH) is the major neutralization target of VZV, and its neutralizing epitope is conformational. Ten neutralizing human monoclonal antibodies to gH were used to map the epitopes by immunohistochemical analysis and were categorized into seven epitope groups. The combinational neutralization efficacy of two epitope groups was not synergistic. Each epitop...

Prevalence of Herpes Simplex Virus type-1, 2 and Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV) in Eye Infection

Abstract Background and Aims: Herpes simplex virus (HSV) is a common cause of corneal disease and is the leading infectious cause of corneal blindness among developed nations. This study is aimed to provide an estimation of the incidence of Herpes Simplex Virustype-1, 2(HSV1, 2) and Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV) in tears and swab from eye infection by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in eye ...

Seroprevalence of Varicella-Zoster Virus in Children from Shiraz-Iran

Background: Varicella–zoster virus (VZV) causes herpes zoster and varicella (Chicken-pox), usually a mild disease which is diagnosed clinically with few complications. However, in neonates and healthy adults it can have a severe presentation. Herpes zoster results from VZV reactivation later in life. Objective: To determine the seroprevalence of VZV in elementary school children aged 6-10 years...
