Abstract
Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus) remains one of the most commonly identified causes of bacterial infection in the general population, and the risk is 30-100 fold higher in HIV-infected individuals. Both innate and adaptive host immune responses to pneumococcal infection are important against pathogen invasion. Pneumococcal-specific IgA antibody (Ab) is key to control infection at the mucosal sites. Ab responses against pneumococcal infection by B cells can be generated through T cell-dependent or T cell-independent pathways. Depletion of CD4+ T cells is a hallmark of immunodeficiency in HIV infection and this defect also contributes to B cell dysfunction, which predisposes to infections such as the pneumococcus. Two pneumococcal vaccines have been demonstrated to have potential benefits for HIV-infected patients. One is a T cell dependent 13-valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13); the other is a T cell independent 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPV23). However, many questions remain unknown regarding these two vaccines in the clinical setting in HIV disease. Here we review the latest research regarding B cell immune responses against pneumococcal antigens, whether derived from potentially invading pathogens or vaccinations, in the setting of HIV-1 infection.

Protective efficacy in mice of monovalent and trivalent live attenuated influenza vaccines in the background of cold-adapted A/X-31 and B/Lee/40 donor strains. Vaccine 2013; 32:535-43. [PMID: 24342248 DOI: 10.1016/j.vaccine.2013.12.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/16/2013] [Revised: 11/19/2013] [Accepted: 12/02/2013] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Influenza virus continues to take a heavy toll on human health and vaccination remains the mainstay of efforts to reduce the clinical impact imposed by viral infections. Proven successful for establishing live attenuated vaccine donor strains, cold-adapted live attenuated influenza vaccines (CAIVs) have become an attractive modality for controlling the virus infection. Previously, we developed the cold-adapted strains A/X-31 and B/Lee/40 as novel donor strains of CAIVs against influenza A and B viruses. In this study, we investigated the protective immune responses of both mono- and trivalent vaccine formulations in the mouse model. Two type A vaccines and one type B vaccine against A/New Caledonia/20/99 (H1N1), A/Panama/2007/99 (H3N2), and B/Shangdong/7/97 in the background of the A/X-31 ca or B/Lee/40 ca were generated by a reassortment procedure and evaluated for their immunogenicity and protective efficacy. Each monovalent vaccine elicited high levels of serum antibodies and conferred complete protection against homologous wild type virus infection. As compared to the monovalent vaccines, trivalent formulation induced higher levels of type A-specific serum antibodies and slightly lower levels of type B-specific antibodies, suggesting an immunological synergism within type A viruses and an interference in the replication of type B virus. Relatively lower type B-specific immunogenicity in trivalent vaccine formulation could be effectively implemented by increasing the vaccine dose of influenza B virus. These results of immunogenicity, protection efficacy, and immunological synergism between type A vaccines provide an experimental basis for optimal composition of trivalent vaccines for subsequent developments of multivalent CAIVs against seasonal and pandemic influenza viruses.

Abstract
Interaction with the immune system is one of the most recently established nonclassic effects of vitamin D (VitD). For many years, this was considered to be limited to granulomatous diseases in which synthesis of active 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3) or calcitriol is known to be increased. However, recent reports have supported a role for 1,25(OH)2D3 in promoting normal function of the innate and adaptive immune systems. Crucially, these effects seem to be mediated not only by the endocrine function of circulating calcitriol but also via paracrine (i.e., refers to effects to adjacent or nearby cells) and/or intracrine activity (i.e., refers to a hormone acting inside a cell) of 1,25(OH)2D3 from its precursor 25(OH)D3, the main circulating metabolite of VitD. The ability of this vitamin to influence human immune responsiveness seems to be highly dependent on the 25(OH)D3 status of individuals and may lead to aberrant response to infection or even to autoimmunity in those who are lacking VitD. The potential health significance of this has been underlined by increasing awareness of impaired status in populations across the globe. This review will examine the current understanding of how VitD status may modulate the responsiveness of the human immune system. Furthermore, we discuss how it may play a role in host resistance to common pathogens and how effective is its supplementation for treatment or prevention of infectious diseases in humans.

Abstract
In spite of ongoing annual vaccination programs, the seasonal influenza epidemics remain a major cause of high morbidity and mortality. The currently used "inactivated" vaccines provide very short-term and highly specific humoral immunity due to the frequent antigenic variations in the influenza virion. These intra-muscularly administered vaccines also fail to induce protective mucosal immunity at the portal of viral entry and destruction of the virally infected cells by induction of cytotoxic T lymphocytes. Therefore, it is necessary to develop immunologically superior vaccines. This article highlights some of the recent developments in investigational influenza vaccines. The most notable recent developments of interest include the use of immunopotentiators, development of DNA vaccines, use of reverse genetics, and the feasibility of mammalian cell-based production processes. Presently, due to their safety and efficacy, the cold-adapted "live attenuated" vaccines are seen as viable alternatives to the "inactivated vaccines". The DNA vaccines are gaining importance due to the induction of broad-spectrum immunity. In addition, recent advances in recombinant technologies have shown the possibility of constructing pre-made libraries of vaccine strains, so that adequately preparations can be made for epidemics and pandemics.

Abstract
Influenza morbidity affects the entire population and has an enormous impact upon the economic burden and the health care systems. Available vaccines are often unsatisfactory and many individuals are reluctant to receive injections. Intranasal immunization is painless, side effect free and may encourage a large number of individuals to participate in the vaccination programs. Ninety-two students were immunized intranasally once or twice, 21 days apart, with a trivalent inactivated whole influenza vaccine during three separate seasons (1996/1997, 1997/1998 and 1998/1999) with the recommended seasonal strains. The vaccine was well tolerated, without adverse effect and morbidity in the vaccinees during the winter season was low. Serum antibody response was determined by the hemagglutination inhibition (HI) test and nasal response by the enzyme-linked immunoadsorbant assay (ELISA). Following the second dose, mucosal antibody response was detected in 48.1-73.3% of immunized subjects. Serum and mucosal antibody levels (GMT) increased significantly to all the strains, with the exception of A/H3N2 in the mucosal response in 1997/1998. At the end of the trial, the percentage of immune subjects was over 93% to A/H1N1 strains, 60-71% to A/H3N2 and 64-66% to B/Harbin in 1996/1997 and 1997/1998, and 75-91% following one dose in 1998/1999. When serum and mucosal responses were combined, a higher percentage of responders was found (60-86%). Repeated vaccination does not seem to interfere with serum or mucosal response. The double barrier of mucosal and serum antibody may inhibit infection and decrease morbidity when infection occurs, thus limiting the spread of influenza in the community.

Abstract
Although influenza vaccine delivery strategies have improved coverage rates to unprecedented levels nationally among persons aged 65 years and older, influenza remains one of the greatest vaccine-preventable threats to public health among elderly in the US. A new, intranasal live attenuated influenza vaccine (LAIV) was recently approved by the US FDA for use in persons aged 5-49 years, which excludes the elderly population. Limitations of immune response to inactivated influenza vaccine (IAIV) and effectiveness of current influenza vaccination strategies among the elderly suggest that a combined approach using LAIV and/or the IAIV in various permutations might benefit this group. We explore characteristics of the LAIV, data regarding its utility in protecting against influenza in the elderly, and challenges and opportunities regarding potential combined inactivated/live attenuated vaccination strategies for the elderly. Although LAIV appears to hold promise either alone or in combination with IAIV, large well conducted randomised trials are necessary to define further the role of LAIV in preventing influenza morbidity and mortality among the elderly. We also suggest that innovative vaccine coverage strategies designed to optimise prevention and control of influenza and minimise viral transmission in the community must accompany, in parallel, the acquisition of clinical trials data to best combat morbidity and mortality from influenza.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Influenza virus types A and B cause yearly outbreaks of respiratory tract infections in all age groups including children and adolescents. Complications, such as high fever, febrile convulsions, secondary bacterial infections and myositis frequently lead to hospitalisation. Safe and effective split, subunit and virosome vaccines are available from 6 months of age onwards. Most European countries do have guidelines for the use of influenza vaccines and current strategies primarily aim at decreasing the burden of influenza disease in certain, heterogeneously defined high risk groups. CONCLUSION unfortunately, compliance of many physicians and patients with immunisation recommendations is rather poor and several barriers to immunisation have been identified. These deserve our specific attention in the future. Recently, neuraminidase inhibitors with curative and preventive efficacy against influenza virus types A and B have become available. They serve as second line weapons for influenza prophylaxis under specific circumstances.
