人呼吸道合胞病毒活疫苗研究进展

人呼吸道合胞病毒是引起婴幼儿支气管炎和肺炎的主要原因,也可导致免疫缺陷病人及老年人群显著发病和死亡.人呼吸道合胞病毒疫苗已被世界卫生组织(World Health Organization,WHO)列为全球最优先发展的疫苗之一.经过50多年的研究,尤其是随着重组技术和反向遗传学的出现,对RSV疫苗的研究取得了重要进展,...     

呼吸道合胞病毒载体疫苗研究进展

人呼吸道合胞病毒(human respiratory syncytial virus, RSV)是引起婴幼儿下呼吸道感染的最重要的病毒病原,RSV载体疫苗可在人细胞内从头合成,形成的蛋白质构象与RSV自然感染后表达的完全相同,不会导致抗原表位的丧失或变化,形成的免疫力更利于抵抗随后的自然感染;经黏膜途径免疫不会产生疾病增强作用,且能突破母传抗体的干扰,因而受到广泛关注。对近年来RSV载体疫苗的研究进展进行了综述。     

Immunization with Live Measles Virus Vaccine

One hundred and fifty children who had no measurable serum measles antibody were vaccinated with live measles virus. All showed post-vaccinal serum antibody levels generally considered sufficient to prevent measles.One hundred and thirty-nine (93%) of the infants and children demonstrated one or more symptoms following vaccination. In view of their generally mild and limited nature, and of the protection subsequently afforded, this procedure would seem to be a real advance in preventive medicine.     

Immunization of Cattle Against Rabies Using Inactivated Cell Culture Vaccines

Twenty-one heads of cattle were vaccinated with Madibovin, 31 with Rabdomun and 127 with Rabisin on 4 different farms. Rabies neutralizing antibody titre (≥0.5 IU/ml) was detected in 80% of 163 animals tested about 1 month and in 42% of 133 animals tested about 1 year after primary vaccination. On 3 of the farms 86 animals received booster vaccination about 1 year after primary vaccination. All these animals had antibody titre (≥0.5 IU/ml) about 1 month after booster and antibody levels were higher than after the primary vaccination. Rabies antibody titres (≥0.5 IU/ml) were detected in 96% of 50 animals tested 1 year after the booster. No significant differences (p>0.05) in antibody levels were detected between animals vaccinated with Madibovin or Rabisin (farm C) respectively with Rabisin or Rabdomun (farm D) at any collection time. Responses to rabies vaccines varied considerably between the farms. After primary vaccination of the animals on 2 farms with the same batch of Rabisin, the antibody levels clearly differed (p<0.0001) between the farms. Our results indicate that booster is always necessary after primary vaccination to ensure that all animals are protected.
