Challenges and Perspectives toward Development of more Effective Influenza Vaccine
Influenza viruses continue to be a major health threat in human and bird populations. The improvements in formulation and production level of the current influenza vaccines are not sufficient to afford complete protection. The continuous antigenic drifts and emergence of endemic and zoonotic strains make influenza vaccine planning difficult. Concern about the emergence of new influenza pandemic...
متن کاملFirst Steps toward a Globally Effective HIV/AIDS Vaccine
The enormous diversity of HIV-1 presents a formidable challenge for developing an effective AIDS vaccine. In this issue of Cell, Barouch et al. show that bioinformatically designed antigens, pieced together from multiple HIV immune epitopes, partially protect rhesus macaques from simian-human immunodeficiency virus infection. This "mosaic" approach holds promise for the development of broadly p...
متن کاملThe Development of an AIDS Mucosal Vaccine
It is well known that mucosal tissues contain the largest surface area of the human body and are the front line of natural host defense against various pathogens. In fact, more than 80% of infectious disease pathogens probably gain entry into the susceptible human hosts through open mucosal surfaces. Human immunodeficiency virus type one (HIV-1), a mainly sexually transmitted virus, also primar...
متن کاملProgress toward an AIDS vaccine: Prospects for protective immunity
uch can be asked of an AIDS vaccine. Ideally, vaccination would pre-empt the initial viremia associated with HIV infection, preventing illness, transmission, and the establishment of long-term viral reservoirs. If this goal of "sterilizing immunity" is not attainable, the vaccine-induced immune response would at least mitigate the effects of HIV infection by limiting viral replication. An optim...
متن کاملScientific and policy challenges to development of an AIDS vaccine.
24 years since the identifi cation of HIV as the causal agent of AIDS, the pandemic continues to outpace attempts at control. The response to HIV/AIDS has been inadequate, and has consisted of crisis management rather than purposeful public health policies, because of the early silent spread of the virus, its high incidence in high-risk populations, its uniformly fatal outcome if not treated, a...
