Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleMaking Decision About Vaccines for Minors. Health Policies, Individual Choices and Legislative Interventions: The Italian CaseLorena ForniIn Italy, as in other Countries around the world, there is a strong debate about vaccines for children. This paper highlights the legal, ethical and social reasons for the mandatory vaccination practice, both in public decision-making and in private choices. In Italy there are no penalties for non-vaccination. Starting from important recent institutional and legal interventions, attention will be given … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 1 Nov 2019 · 7,159 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleCURRENT SCENARIO OF VACCINES FOR JAPANESE ENCEPHALITISShirisha Cherukommu, ML Arvinda Swamy, Shailendra K. SaxenaCurrently various countries in South-East Asia, including India, are facing disaster due to Acute Encephalitis Syndrome (AES), which is primarily caused by Japanese Encephalitis Virus (JEV). A dirty environment and a lack of awareness about the risks associated with mosquito bites may be one of the reasons of the outbreak. Japanese encephalitis is a lethal neuroviral infection for which there … …Current Research in Virology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 19 Aug 2014 · 6,855 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEFFECTS OF SUPPLEMENTAL LYSINE ON PERFORMANCE, ANTIBODY TITER AND RECTAL TEMPERATURE IN RESPONSE TO A MODIFIED-LIVE VIRAL VACCINE IN NEONATAL CALVESKate Sharon, Glenn Duff, Jeff Dailey et al.Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis (IBR), caused by bovine herpesvirus-1, contributes significantly to economic losses in the dairy and beef cattle industry. Lysine has been shown reduce virulence of herpesviruses in felids and humans. Our objective was to evaluate the effects of supplemental lysine on serum IBR antibody titer and rectal temperature in response to a modified-live Intranasal (IN) or Intramuscular (IM) … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 2 Jun 2014 · 7,606 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleImmunological Response in Bovine Lymph Nodes Stimulated with Subunits VaccinesGabriel Andres Tafur Gomez, Marlene Isabel Vargas, Joaquin Hernan Patarroyo Salcedo et al.The vaccination process belongs to the public health intervention methodologies that help prevent infections. Vaccinations performed successfully in the history of medicine reported the significance of this procedure to increase the quality of life, prevent zoonoses and improve animal production. Vaccine emergence remained without exact rules for a long time, maintaining a close relationship with pathogens. However, subunit vaccines, with … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 9, Issue 2 · 20 Jun 2013 · 7,319 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAnamnestic Immune Response Eight Years After Immunization of Primates with a Multivalent HIV-1 GP120 Variable Peptide VaccineRebecca Rivera, Kyung Hee Kang, David E. Anderson et al.Successful development of an effective HIV vaccine hasn’t occurred yet partly as a consequence of the antigenic variation deployed by HIV-1 to escape the immune system. Our laboratory is dedicated to develop a single peptide synthesis approach to create multivalent peptides representing hypervariable epitopes of the gp120 envelope glycoprotein of HIV-1. Our previous study showed that our HIV HECs are … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 13 Mar 2013 · 7,209 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleImmunity to Pneumococcal Vaccine in Splenectomized β-Thalassemia PatientsAbdolreza Sotoodeh Jahromi, Mohammad Reza Farjam, Alireza Makarem et al.Problem statement: Splenectomy is accompanied by a lifelong risk of overwhelming post splenectomy infection, mainly caused by encapsulated bacteria such as Streptococcus pneumoniae. The mortality rate in those infected patients remains high. Therefore the pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine has been recommended. Approach: To obtain information on the immunity levels of pneumococcal antibody, in splenectomized β-thalassemia patients in south of Iran. Patients … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 25 May 2012 · 7,403 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDevelopment of Transgenic Maize using Immature Embryos of HiII Genotype as a Vaccine CandidateHyun A. Kim, Suk Yoon Kwon, Han Sang Yoo et al.Problem statement: Plant-based vaccines posses some advantages over other types of vaccine biotechnology such as safety, low cost of mass vaccination programs and wider use of vaccines for veterinary medicine. These study was undertaken to develop the transgenic maize as edible vaccine candidate for animals. Approach: The immature embryos of HiII genotype were inoculated with A. tumefaciens strain C58C1 containing … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 5 Mar 2012 · 7,567 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleTarget Identification in Ory S1 Pollen Protein Allergen from Oryza sativa in the Course of Construction of Hypoallergenic VaccinesRuchi Sharma, A. K. SinghProblem statement: Recombinant-based approaches are mostly focused on genetic modification of allergens to produce molecules with reduced allergenic activity and conserved antigenicity, such as hypoallergens. Recombinant allergens represent promising tools for diagnosis and therapy of type I allergy. This approach was probably feasible with every allergen with known amino acid sequence. Approach: The primary aim of this study was to … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2009 · 7,438 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Use of a Combination Vaccine in International Travelers Visiting Countries with High Endemic Rates of Hepatitis A and/or Hepatitis BBradley A. Connor, Susan Anderson, Robert SteffenHepatitis A and B represent a significant threat to international travelers. Both diseases are preventable through vaccination, though fewer than half of at-risk visitors in endemic regions are protected. Current vaccination recommendations should be revised to ensure adequate immunity for all international travelers against hepatitis A and B, as both diseases pose comparable danger. Since exposure to the viruses cannot … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2008 · 7,778 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleInteraction of a C-terminal Truncated Hepatitis C Virus Core Protein with Plasmid DNA Vaccine Leads to in vitro Assembly of Heterogeneous Virus-like ParticlesNelson Acosta-Rivero, Joanna Poutou, Alexis Mussachio et al.Recently, it has been shown that HCV core proteins (HCcAg) with C-terminal deletions assemble in vitro into virus-like particles (VLPs) in the presence of structured RNA molecules. Results presented in this work showed that a truncated HCcAg variant covering the first 120 aa (HCcAg.120) with a 32 aa N-terminal fusion peptide (6xHistag-XpressTMepitope) interacts with plasmid DNA vaccine. Interestingly, the buoyant … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,754 accessesView PDFCite
