A “Universal” Influenza Vaccine through Synthetic, Dendritic Cell-Targeted, Self-Replicating RNA Vaccines (UniVax)

Date du début: 1 oct. 2013, Date de fin: 30 sept. 2018,

Although vaccination is the cornerstone of prophylaxis, current vaccines provide only moderate protection. Most employ inactivated or protein-based, including multimeric antigen, vaccines requiring annual updating. Their limited antigen loads provide limited capacity for inducing robust immune defences, without assurance that both humoral and cell mediated (CMI) responses, as well as durable immun ...

Influence of Streptococcal virulence factors on host autophagy regulation (GASAUTOPHAGY)

Date du début: 1 mai 2013, Date de fin: 30 avr. 2015,

"Group AStreptococcus (GAS) is a predominant Gram-positive bacterium causing a substantial burden of diseases in humans. Autophagy is a starvation-induced response that provides nutrients by degrading long-living proteins and recycling intracellular organelles. In 2004, autophagy was identified as a new immune mechanism for killing and clearing invading GAS in epithelial cells. It is regulated by ...
