While substantial progress has been made in the fight against this disease, certain strains of the virus, particularly circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus (cVDPV), a strain that emerges when the weakened virus in oral vaccines mutates back into a more virulent form, continue to circulate in regions with suboptimal vaccine ...
All vaccines are sensitive to extreme heat and extreme cold and require both proper vaccine storage and management to avoid any loss of potency. Immunization is the most effective and economical public health measure against infectious diseases that cause morbidity or mortality. Immunization prevents two to three million deaths every year from diseases such as hepatitis, pertussis (whooping ...

This interaction allows developing stable nanoparticles suitable as a carrier and controlled release system for drugs and vaccines. We study the effect of chitosan nanoparticles (CNp) on the uptake and antigen presentation of the model protein hen-egg white lysozyme (HEL) to peritoneal macrophages isolated from mice. ...
The aim of this review is to focus on the immunostimulating agent OM-85, a biotechnology-derived lyophilised extract from eight bacteria frequently responsible for RTIs and formulated for oral administration. The topics will cover its pharmacological effects, its actions in clinical practice regarding both efficiency and safety, as well as pharmacoeconomic studies. A particular ...
In this work, we attempt to determine immunogenic properties of an oral Ap vaccine in a mouse model. Formalin-inactivated, whole-cell Ap suspension is included in two vaccine formulations: the classic injectable form with aluminium adjuvant and the oral form encapsulated into enteric-coated polymer microspheres. ...
