Keep calm and carry on vaccinating: Is anti-vaccination sentiment contributing to declining vaccine coverage in England?

Marcel Salathé, Martin Mathias Müller, Martin Müller

Background: In England, coverage for childhood vaccines have decreased since 2012/13 in the context of an increasingly visible anti-vaccination discourse. We determined whether anti-vaccination sentiment is the likely cause of this decline in coverage. Met ...

Redox-Responsive Polycondensate Neoepitope for Enhanced Personalized Cancer Vaccine

Li Tang, Lixia Wei, Yu Zhao, Xiaomeng Hu

A versatile and highly effective platform remains a major challenge in the development of personalized cancer vaccines. Here, we devised a redox-responsive polycondensate neoepitope (PNE) through a reversible polycondensation reaction of peptide neoantigen ...

Atomic-Scale Description of Interfaces between Antigen and Aluminum-Based Adjuvants Used in Vaccines by Dynamic Nuclear Polarization (DNP) Enhanced NMR Spectroscopy

Jasmine Viger-Gravel, Federico Maria Paruzzo, David Benjamin Roger Antoine Gajan

The addition of aluminum-based adjuvants in vaccines enhances the immune response to antigens. The strength of antigen adsorption on adjuvant gels is known to modulate vaccine efficacy. However, a detailed understanding of the mechanisms of interaction bet ...

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 ...

Expanding beyond the natural protein repertoire to engineer targeted vaccines and diagnostics

Fabian Sesterhenn

Proteins have evolved over millions of years to carry out the vast majority of biological functions that are fundamental to life. Their three-dimensional structures and functions have been in the focus of biomedical research for many decades, and substanti ...

Carboplatin/paclitaxel, E7-vaccination and intravaginal CpG as tri-therapy towards efficient regression of genital HPV16 tumors

Douglas Hanahan, Gabriele Galliverti

High-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) are responsible for genital and oral cancers associated with the expression of the E6/E7 HPV oncogenes. Therapeutic vaccines targeting those oncogenes can only partially control tumor progression, highlighting the neces ...

Nucleic acids presenting polymer nanomaterials as vaccine adjuvants

Maartje Martina Cornelia Bastings, Kaltrina Paloja, Alice Comberlato

Most vaccines developed today include only the antigens that best stimulate the immune system rather than the entire virus or microbe, which makes vaccine production and use safer and easier, though they lack potency to induce acceptable immunity and long- ...

Targeting small molecule drugs to T cells with antibody-directed cell-penetrating gold nanoparticles

Francesco Stellacci, Ahmet Bekdemir, Ye Yang

We sought to develop a nanoparticle vehicle that could efficiently deliver small molecule drugs to target lymphocyte populations. The synthesized amphiphilic organic ligand-protected gold nanoparticles (amph-NPs) were capable of sequestering large payloads ...

A viral vector based in vivo model of tauopathy to explore therapeutic strategies against tau pathology

Sameer Mohammad Khaleel Nazeeruddin

Tauopathies are neurodegenerative diseases whose common pathological feature is the intraneuronal accumulation of tau aggregates. Tau protein has various roles in the neuron, among which stabilization of microtubules (MT), regulation of synaptic activity o ...

Engineering dendritic cell vaccines to improve cancer immunotherapy

Michele De Palma, Caleb Ricardo Perez

At the interface between the innate and adaptive immune system, dendritic cells (DCs) play key roles in tumour immunity and hold a hitherto unrealized potential for cancer immunotherapy. Here we review the role of distinct DC subsets in the tumour microenv ...
