Advantages of Recombinant Vaccines Recombinant vaccines come with several notable benefits: Safety: Since these vaccines do not contain live pathogens, there is a significantly reduced risk of causing disease in vaccinated individuals. This is particularly critical for immunocompromised ...
The production process can be standardized without the need for complex live culture methods.No Reversion Risk: Live attenuated vaccines carry a risk of reversion to a virulent form. Peptide vaccines do not pose this risk, as they do not contain live pathogens.Stability: Peptide vaccines are ...
Newcastle disease is a highly infectious viral disease of the avian species. The causative agent is Newcastle disease virus (NDV), which belongs to the family of Paramyxoviridae. Many commercial vaccines, both live and inactivated, are available on the market and protect from NDV infection and disease. In addition, viral vectors based on Newcastle disease virus have been previously ...

MADISON, Wis., Sept. 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — FluGen, Inc., a clinical-stage vaccine company transforming vaccine efficacy in infectious respiratory diseases, today announced the completion of enrollment of the first cohort in an age de-escalation clinical trial of M2SR (M2 Deficient Single Replication) live virus vaccine, ...
Omicron, as the most transmissible variant of SARS-CoV-2, is rapidly spreading over the world and has displaced Delta as the dominant strain in a number of regions. Some experts have indicated that mucosal immunization of the respiratory system with an inhaled form of the vaccine may be more efficient in dealing with the Omicron strain in light of recent results that demonstrate Omicron ...
However, work still needs to be done to be able to vaccinate those living in hard-to-reach areas and places without basic infrastructure, especially now that the world is fighting against the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. ...
The designation was awarded for RVx201, a live-attenuated therapeutic vaccine the company is developing for genital herpes resulting from the herpes simplex type 2 (HSV-2) virus. ...
In the Focus: Inmatec Gasetechnologie Gmbh & Co.Kg Medical oxygen plays an important role in coping with the corona crisis. It is used worldwide to treat Covid patients and is now also used to manufacture life-saving vaccines. With self-sufficient O2 generation, hospitals and pharmaceutical manufacturers secure the supply and reduce their costs at the same time. Medical oxygen has been used ...
National Doctor’s Day is celebrated every year on March 30th. The first Doctor’s Day observance was March 30th, 1933, in Winder, Georgia. This first observance included mailed greeting cards and flowers placed on the graves of deceased physicians. In 1990, legislation was passed to establish a national Doctor’s Day. The Covid-19 pandemic has pushed the limits of healthcare ...
We hear a lot about how to protect yourself and others right now… and it is especially important to me because I am in a high-risk group (over 65 with underlining health conditions). In the Dairy Industry, we deal with high-risk groups every day–cows that have just calved and newborn calves less than 75 days of age. Herd immunity threshold (percent of animals that are immune) ...
Abstract Background Although herpes simplex viruses (HSV) are a major target for vaccine development no vaccine is currently licensed. Methods A live attenuated HSV virus vaccine, VC2 was compared to a subunit HSV vaccine, glycoprotein D (gD2) administered with the adjuvant, MPL/Alum using the guinea pig model of genital herpes. Three doses of intramuscular (IM) vaccine were provided followed by ...
The cornea is essential for vision yet highly sensitive to immune-mediated damage following infection. Generating vaccines that provide sterile immunity against ocular surface pathogens without evoking vision loss is therefore clinically challenging. Here, we tested a prophylactic live-attenuated vaccine against herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), a widespread human pathogen that can cause ...
ABSTRACT Background: Although development of an HSV vaccine is a priority there is currently no vaccine available. The recent failure of subunit vaccines suggest that presentation of more antigens via a live attenuated vaccine may be required for protection. We therefore evaluated VC2. a live attenuated HSV vaccine, engineered to be unable to enter into neuronal axons. Methods: VC2 pathogenesis ...
In the span of seven days, Mel Smith left her verbally abusive boyfriend, moved out of their house with her 13-year-old son, and found out that she had contracted genital herpes. “I didn’t know what it was. I didn’t know what to do,” she says, remembering the time five years ago when her vagina itched so badly she couldn’t wear underwear. Her diagnosis? Herpes ...
In poultry production control of coccidiosis still relies heavily on adding anticoccidial drugs to feed. In the present study the efficacy of coccidiosis prevention in broilers by vaccination in comparison to anticoccidial drug programs was evaluated. The efficacy of the live attenuated vaccine Livacox T administered to broiler chickens was investigated in a laboratory trial by assessing ...
Individuals living in areas with stable transmission of Plasmodium falciparum parasites develop substantial protective immunity to the disease during childhood. Because of naturally acquired immunity, which appears mainly to target parasite-encoded Variable Surface Antigens (VSA) on the Infected Erythrocytes (IE), severe and life-threatening disease among adults in such areas is rare. However, ...
