Protection against malaria in humans can be achieved by repeated exposure to infected mosquito bites during prophylactic chloroquine treatment (chemoprophylaxis and sporozoites (CPS)). We established a new mouse model of CPS immunization to investigate the stage and strain-specificity of malaria immunity. Immunization with Plasmodium chabaudi by mosquito bite under chloroquine cover does not ge...

We adapted one of the in-vitro immunization methods to induce antibody responses and confirmed the success of the immunization by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) without hybridization. We have previously reported several methods of in-vitro immunization using different conditioned media. Here we introduce another method of in-vitro immunization using a mixture of three types of supern...

Each year, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) reviews the recommended immunization schedules for persons aged 0 through 18 years to ensure that the schedules reflect current recommendations for Food and Drug Administration-licensed vaccines. In October 2013, ACIP approved the recommended immunization schedules for persons aged 0 through 18 years for 2014, which include seve...

This investigation determined the serum agglutination activity and serum bactericidal response after rabbit immunization with Pseudomonas paucimobilis. Agglutination activity of antisera showed a twofold increase in titer from before immunization to 4 weeks post-immunization and peaked at 8 weeks post-immunization with a titer of 1:512. 2-Mercaptoethanol reduction of immunoglobulin M decreased ...

A cross-sectional survey was done to assess the missed opportunity for immunization (MOI) in children under two years of age attending Medical Outpatient, Newborn Follow-up Service and Immunization Clinic of Institute of Child Health and to evaluate interventions. Baseline survey phase-I was done and two interventions: (i) education and awareness of immunization among health personnel; and (ii)...
