Opportunities and challenges in design and optimization of protein function

Bruno Emanuel Ferreira De Sousa Correia, Casper Alexander Goverde

The field of protein design has made remarkable progress over the past decade. Historically, the low reliability of purely structure-based design methods limited their application, but recent strategies that combine structure-based and sequence-based calcu ...

Identification of Vaccine Effects When Exposure Status Is Unknown

Mats Julius Stensrud

Results from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) help determine vaccination strategies and related public health policies. However, defining and identifying estimands that can guide policies in infectious disease settings is difficult, even in an RCT. The ...

Functional de novo Protein Design for Targeted Vaccines and Synthetic Biology Applications

Che Yang

Evolution has created, selected and evolved large repertoires of proteins that operate in various biological systems. Nowadays biotechnological needs are coming up orders of magnitude faster than proteins naturally evolve. The emergence of de novo protein ...

Antigens reversibly conjugated to a polymeric glyco-adjuvant induce protective humoral and cellular immunity

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Melody Swartz, Laura Jeanbart, David Scott Wilson, Sachiko Hirosue, Giacomo Olimpio Diaceri

Fully effective vaccines for complex infections must elicit a diverse repertoire of antibodies (humoral immunity) and CD8+ T-cell responses (cellular immunity). Here, we present a synthetic glyco-adjuvant named p(Man-TLR7), which, when conjugated to antige ...

Toll-like receptor 8 agonist nanoparticles mimic immunomodulating effects of the live BCG vaccine and enhance neonatal innate and adaptive immune responses

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Melody Swartz, Sachiko Hirosue, Alexandre de Titta

Background: Newborns display distinct immune responses, leaving them vulnerable to infections and impairing immunization. Targeting newborn dendritic cells (DCs), which integrate vaccine signals into adaptive immune responses, might enable development of a ...

Use of VacA as a Vaccine Antigen

Mati André Marie Moyat, Dominique Velin

One of the major toxins secreted by H. pylori is the Vacuolating cytotoxin A (VacA) named after its ability to induce the formation of "vacuole"-like membrane vesicles in the cytoplasm of gastric cells. VacA has been associated with the disruption of mitoc ...

A Cationic Micelle Complex Improves CD8+T Cell Responses in Vaccination Against Unmodified Protein Antigen

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Melody Swartz, Davide Demurtas, Vasiliki Panagiotou

Nanoscale carrier platforms promote immune responses to vaccination by facilitating delivery of vaccine components to immunologically relevant sites. The technique is particularly valuable for subunit vaccination, in which coadministration of immunostimula ...

Mycobacterium ulcerans Mouse Model Refinement for Pre-Clinical Profiling of Vaccine Candidates

Claudia Sala

Buruli Ulcer is a neglected tropical disease leading to extensive disabilities and morbidity in West Africa. In this paper we sought to characterize various strains of Mycobacterium ulcerans (M. ulcerans) with different origins and laboratory passage recor ...

Engineering nanoparticle-based vaccines: Implications for the quality of humoral and cellular immunity

Marcela Rincón-Restrepo

Vaccination is undoubtedly a major success in modern medicine. Yet, today there are pathogens for which no licensed or fully protective vaccines have been created. Development of vaccines based on subunit components has proven to be a safe and cost effecti ...

New immunomodulatory roles of lymphatic endothelium and implications for immunotherapy

Efthymia Vokali

The lymphatic system serves a critical role in fluid homeostasis, lipid metabolism and immune surveillance. The growing appreciation of its implication in various diseases challenges the conventional view of lymphatics as a passive transport system. Tradit ...

Cellular magnetic resonance with iron oxide nanoparticles: long-term persistence of SPIO signal in the CNS after transplanted cell death

Michele De Palma, Mario Leonardo Squadrito, Chiara Cianciaruso

Aim: To study the specificity of cellular MRI based on superparamagnetic iron oxide particles (SPIOs), especially within the CNS. Materials & methods: A microglial cell line was engineered for the expression of a suicide gene, the receptor of diphtheria to ...

Engineering synthetic vaccines using cues from natural immunity

Melody Swartz

Vaccines aim to protect against or treat diseases through manipulation of the immune response, promoting either immunity or tolerance. In the former case, vaccines generate antibodies and T cells poised to protect against future pathogen encounter or attac ...

Targeting dendritic cells with biomaterials: developing the next generation of vaccines

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Melody Swartz

Current vaccine and immunotherapy technology faces ongoing challenges in both efficacy and practicality: many chronic diseases cannot yet be addressed by vaccination, and several vaccines that do function well require multiple injections, which is a substa ...
