DNA vaccines: designing strategies against parasitic infections
The complexity of parasitic infections requires novel approaches to vaccine design. The versatility of DNA vaccination provides new perspectives. This review discusses the use of prime-boost immunizations, genetic adjuvants, multivalent vaccines and codon optimization for optimal DNA vaccine design against parasites.

tropical theileriosis is caused by infection of bovine myeloid mononuclear cells (monocytes and macrophages) and lymphoid cells (b lymphocytes) as well as red blood cells by the protozoan parasite theileria annulata. the disease is transmitted by ticks of the genus hyalomma. the clinical signs of theileriosis in stages appear from mild symptoms to serious, including fever and anemia to severe i...
متن کاملVaccines against papillomavirus infections and disease.
Squamous cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix is the second cause of cancer-related deaths in women, the higher incidence being observed in developing countries. Infection with oncogenic types of human papillomavirus (HPV) is considered the major risk factor for the development of malignancies in the uterine cervix. However, HPV is considered to be a necessary but not sufficient cause for cervi...
متن کاملCellular immunity against DNA tumour viruses: possibilities for peptide-based vaccines and immune escape.
Introduction The T-cell arm of the immune system plays an important role in the defence against viruses and virus-induced tumours [ 1,2]. Virus-induced tumours can be eradicated by both CD8' cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CTLs) and CD4+ T-helper lymphocytes (Th-cells) [ 1-31. These T-cells recognize antigenic peptides processed from viral (0nco)proteins or other tumour antigens that are presented in ...
متن کاملImmunity and vaccines against sexually transmitted Chlamydia trachomatis infection.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The aim is to review recent findings on immunity and vaccine development to Chlamydia trachomatis. RECENT FINDINGS There is increasing knowledge on the interactions between C. trachomatis and infected host cells. During genital infection the organism avoids generating protective immunity but immune responses to a number of chlamydial proteins have been associated with reprod...
