چکیده

Vaccination against yellow fever is effective, but available live virus vaccines are not recommended for use in immunocompromised or elderly patients. We report the successful and uneventful immunization of a 62-year-old man with a history of allogeneic bone marrow transplant and discuss evidence for this recommendation.

Immunity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa adoptively transferred to bone marrow transplant recipients.

Infection is a common problem for bone marrow transplant (BMT) recipients during the period of neutropenia that immediately follows the procedure. Gram-negative infections present a particular hazard in these immunocompromised hosts. To augment host defenses against one such pathogen, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, we immunized bone marrow transplant donors and/or recipients with a polyvalent O-polysa...

Immunization of allogeneic bone marrow transplant recipients with tumor cell vaccines enhances graft-versus-tumor activity without exacerbating graft-versus-host disease.

Allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) induces 2 closely associated immune responses: graft-versus-tumor (GVT) activity and graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). We have previously shown that pretransplant immunization of allogeneic BMT donors with a recipient-derived tumor cell vaccine increases both GVT activity and lethal GVHD because of the priming of donor T cells against putative minor ...

Development of a Dengue Vaccine in Humans: So Near, Yet So Far

Due to a combination of favourable factors promoting the population growth and geographical spread of the Aedes mosquito vector of dengue, the incidence of this rapidly emerging tropical infectious disease has increased over 30-fold in less than half a century. Today, there are around 100 million reported clinical cases each year. Co-circulation of multiple serotypes of the dengue virus causes ...

Successful treatment of immediate allogeneic myeloablative hematopoietic stem cell transplantation from a HLA-mismatched sibling donor for active systemic epstein–barr virus-positive T-cell lymphoproliferative disease of childhood following primary acute epstein–barr virus infection

A 22-year-old female was admitted for sustained high fever and diagnosed with systemic Epstein-Barr virus-positive T-cell lymphoproliferative disease. As her clinical course was so aggressive, she immediately underwent allogeneic myeloablative bone marrow transplantation from an HLA-mismatched sibling donor on hospital day 46. The patient has remained in complete remission for 3 years.

Live attenuated yellow fever 17D infects human DCs and allows for presentation of endogenous and recombinant T cell epitopes

The yellow fever (YF) 17D vaccine is one of the most successful live attenuated vaccines available. A single immunization induces both long-lasting neutralizing antibody and YF-specific T cell responses. Surprisingly, the mechanism for this robust immunity has not been addressed. In light of several recent reports suggesting flavivirus interaction with dendritic cells (DCs), we investigated the...
