Long-Lasting Protective Immunity to

Specific β-Turns Precede PPIIL Structures Binding to Allele-Specific HLA-DRβ1* PBRs in Fully-Protective Malaria Vaccine Components

The 3D structural analysis of 62 peptides derived from highly pathogenic Plasmodium falciparum malaria parasite proteins involved in host cell invasion led to finding a striking association between particular β-turn types located in the N-terminal peripheral flanking residue region (preceding the polyproline II left-handed structures fitting into the HLA-DRβ allele family) and modified immune p...

A Crucial Role for Infected-Cell/Antibody Immune Complexes in the Enhancement of Endogenous Antiviral Immunity by Short Passive Immunotherapy

Antiviral monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) represent promising therapeutics. However, most mAbs-based immunotherapies conducted so far have only considered the blunting of viral propagation and not other possible therapeutic effects independent of virus neutralization, namely the modulation of the endogenous immune response. As induction of long-term antiviral immunity still remains a paramount cha...

Immunity in Mice Depleted of CD4 Cells Elicit Long-Lasting Protective Tumor Dendritic Cells Loaded with Stressed Tumor

Leishmaniasis Protective Immunity against Visceral Induces Long Lasting Leishmania donovani Intracellular Replication-Deficient

The survival of memory CD8 T cells that is mediated by IL-15 correlates with sustained protection against malaria.

Ag-specific memory T cell responses elicited by infections or vaccinations are inextricably linked to long-lasting protective immunity. Studies of protective immunity among residents of malaria endemic areas indicate that memory responses to Plasmodium Ags are not adequately developed or maintained, as people who survive episodes of childhood malaria are still vulnerable to either persistent or...
