Effective vaccine design and public vaccination programs have led to the eradication of several diseases and protected millions of people from deadly infections. However, intracellular infections remain a challenge and their eradication requires the activa ...
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 ...
Activation of the innate immune response in Metazoans is initiated through the recognition of microbes by host pattern-recognition receptors. In Drosophila, diaminopimelic acid ( DAP)-containing peptidoglycan from Gram-negative bacteria is detected by the ...
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 ...
Natural Killer (NK) cells mediate innate immunity to infected and transformed cells. Yet, NK cells can also mount hapten-specific recall responses thereby contributing to contact hypersensitivity (CHS). However, since NK cells lack antigen receptors that a ...
Immune-mediated disorders such as autoimmune diseases, graft-versus-host disease or allergies, are a major contemporary burden. Despite significant advances in the field of immunological tolerance, immunosuppressive drugs are still the current hallmark for ...
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 ...
Vaccination has been regarded to as the most attractive immunotherapy for cancer because of its ability to instruct immune cells to recognize and kill tumor cells. Exosomes are one of the most recent discoveries translated from basic biology into experimen ...
Tuberculosis (TB) is caused by infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) and represents one of the most relevant bacterial diseases worldwide. Recent advances have yielded new insights into the molecular basis of the immune response required for rest ...
Subunit vaccines, employing purified protein antigens rather than intact pathogens, require the addition of adjuvants for enhanced immunogenicity with a correct balance between strong activation of the immune system and low toxicity. Here we show that the ...
