Induction of a strong and long-lasting neutralizing immune response by dPreS1-TLR2 agonist nanovaccine against hepatitis B virus

Hepatitis B virus remains a major medical burden with more than 250 million chronically infected patients worldwide and 900,000 deaths each year, due to the disease progression towards severe complications (cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma). Despite the ...

Effect of Matrix Composition and Thermodynamic Properties on Virus Persistence in Respiratory Droplets

Athanasios Nenes, Tamar Kohn, Aline Laetitia Schaub, Shannon Christa David, Laura José Costa Henriques

It is now well-established that respiratory viruses can be transmitted by the airborne route, yet the parameters modulating the infectivity of viruses in aerosol particles are poorly understood. Through a combined experimental and computational approach, w ...

Humoral Responses Against Variants of Concern by COVID-19 mRNA Vaccines in Immunocompromised Patients

Didier Trono, Céline Pellaton, Madeleine Suffiotti

IMPORTANCE There are limited comparative data on the durability of neutralizing antibody (nAb) responses elicited by messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines against the SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern (VOCs) in immunocompromised patients and healthy controls. OBJECTI ...

Genomics: a Swiss army knife to fight leprosy

Charlotte Avanzi

Leprosy, a highly disabling and stigmatizing infectious disease, is caused by Mycobacterium leprae and the newly discovered agent, Mycobacterium lepromatosis. Though treatable with antibiotics, leprosy has still not been eradicated, and around 200,000 new ...

Deleterious effect of homogeneous and heterogeneous near-neutral photo-Fenton system on Escherichia coli. Comparison with photo-catalytic action of TiO2 during cell envelope disruption

César Pulgarin, Andrzej Sienkiewicz, Cristina del Socorro Lonfat

The mechanisms underlying bacterial inactivation by solar photo-Fenton at near-neutral pH have not yet been investigated in detail. In particular, no consensus exists on the bacterial inactivation mechanism under solar light enhanced by the Fenton's reagen ...

Deliberate removal of T cell help improves virus-neutralizing antibody production

Nicola Harris

The B cell response to lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus is characterized by a CD4(+) T cell-dependent polyclonal hypergammaglobulinemia and delayed formation of virus-specific neutralizing antibodies. Here we provide evidence that, paradoxically, because ...

Self-inactivating lentiviral vectors with enhanced transgene expression as potential gene transfer system in Parkinson's disease

Didier Trono, Patrick Aebischer, Romain Zufferey, Jean-Charles Bensadoun

Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) is able to protect dopaminergic neurons against various insults and constitutes therefore a promising candidate for the treatment of Parkinson's disease. Lentiviral vectors that infect quiescent neuronal c ...

IL-1-alpha and TNF-alpha differentially regulate CD4 and Mac-1 expression in mouse microglia

Pierre Magistretti, Xi Zhang

The regulatory effects of the proinflammatory cytokines, interleukin-1alpha (IL-1alpha) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) were investigated on CD4 and Mac-1 expression in mouse microglial cultures. The identity of the microglia in cultures was co ...
