Chronicity of hepatitis B virus(HBV) is mainly due to its ability to debilitate host's immune system. Therefore, major measures have been taken to stop this process and help patients with chronic hepatitis B infection recover from their illness. While satisfactory results have been...
متن کاملRegulatory and Biosafety Challenges for Vaccines
The global regulatory plan for vaccines provides a unique opportunity to develop safe and effective ones with assured quality. Methods used by regulators address challenges of new products and technologies and also increase understanding of benefits and risks of existing products. First, the laboratory-based regulatory sciences evolve correlates of immunity and safety; or improve the product ch...
متن کاملEbolavirus Vaccines: Progress in the Fight Against Ebola Virus Disease.
Ebolaviruses are highly infectious pathogens that cause lethal Ebola virus disease (EVD) in humans and non-human primates (NHPs). Due to their high pathogenicity and transmissibility, as well as the potential to be misused as a bioterrorism agent, ebolaviruses would threaten the health of global populations if not controlled. In this review, we describe the origin and structure of ebolaviruses ...
