EUROpean consortium on NEUTralising antibodies using gp41 (EURONEUT-41)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2008, Date de fin: 31 mars 2014,
There is now an increasingly solid body of scientific evidence which demonstrates that the binding of small molecular weight compounds, peptides and antibodies (Abs) to fusion-intermediate conformations of gp41 leads to an inhibition of HIV cell entry. The principal aim of this project is to exploit this information by establishing a platform where gp41-derived vaccine candidates will be designed ...

Discovery and preclinical development of new generation tuberculosis vaccines (NEWTBVAC)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2010, Date de fin: 28 févr. 2014,
"With 14.4 million prevalent cases and 1.7 million deaths tuberculosis (TB) remains one of the most serious infectious diseases to date. An estimated 2 billion people are believed to be infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis and at risk of developing disease. Multi- and extensively drug resistant strains are increasingly appearing in many parts of the world, including Europe. While with current ...

Correlating protection against malaria with serum profiles against Plasmodium falciparum antigen repertoires (FIGHTMAL)
Date du début: 1 juin 2008, Date de fin: 31 mai 2012,
"People living in malaria endemic areas develop, with time, a form of immunity to infection and clinical disease mediated by antibodies directed against P. falciparum antigens. Currently there are no assays or clinical parameters that predict whether an exposed person is protected against malaria. This represents a major obstacle for vaccine development. Here research institutions and industrial p ...

Development and validation of a microarray based automated diagnostic system for the detection of influenza virus types and subtypes at point-of-care (Fluarray)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2008, Date de fin: 30 juin 2011,
Influenza is an extremely contagious infection that is caused by distinct virus types and subtypes. Early diagnosis is crucial for disease treatment and control as it reduces the inappropriate use of antibiotics and provides the indication for antiviral therapy. Rapid diagnosis is also a key component of surveillance activity. This requires the ability to detect and accurately diagnose infection a ...
