Novel mRNA-lipid nanoparticle vaccine encoding four mpox virus surface proteins generates robust immune responses against orthopoxviruses

by

In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server, researchers described a messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA)-lipid nanoparticle mpox vaccine encoding four conserved mpox virus surface proteins which induced mpox virus-specific immunity and elicited heterologous protection when challenged with lethal vaccinia virus. Study: A monkeypox mRNA-lipid nanoparticle vaccine targeting virus binding, entry, and transmission drives … Read more

Researchers generate a remodeled live-attenuated measles vaccine capable of driving nAb responses against SARS-CoV-2 spike protein

by

In a recent study posted to bioRxiv*, researchers developed a measles virus (MeV)-vectored vaccine capable of inducing high neutralizing antibody (nAb) responses against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Study: Surface-modified measles vaccines encoding oligomeric, fusion-stabilized SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoproteins bypass measles seropositivity, boosting neutralizing antibody responses to omicron and historical variants.

The frequency, magnitude, and longevity of natural antibody responses against nine P. vivax vaccine candidate proteins

by

Malaria is a significant public health threat, causing about 241 million cases worldwide in 2020. Although Plasmodium falciparum is reported to be the most common malaria parasite in Africa, P. vivax is the predominant parasite in most countries in America and Asia Pacific. Critical illnessescaused by P. vivax are no more considered rare events. Study: … Read more

Study shows how HIV permanently alters immune cells

by

Though antiretroviral therapy has made HIV a manageable disease, people living with HIV often suffer from chronic inflammation. This can put them at an increased risk of developing comorbidities such as cardiovascular disease and neurocognitive dysfunction, affecting the longevity and quality of their lives. Now, a new study in Cell Reports explains why chronic inflammation … Read more
