Region-specific response of central microglial cells to sciatic nerve demyelination through sensory and motor pathways
Histol Histopathol. 2023 Nov 28:18681. doi: 10.14670/HH-18-681. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPeripheral nerve injury can cause changes in microglial cells on the spinal dorsal and ventral horns. This region-specific response implies that central microglial cells could be activated through both sensory and motor pathways. In order to further determine how peripheral nerve injury activates central microglial cells through neural pathways, the sciatic nerve was selected as the target for neural tract tracing and demyelination. Firstly, we used cholera toxin subunit B (CTB) to map the central sensory and motor territories of ...

Vaccine and malnutrition: A narrative review
J Family Med Prim Care. 2023 Sep;12(9):1808-1813. doi: 10.4103/jfmpc.jfmpc_596_23. Epub 2023 Sep 30.ABSTRACTNearly 45% of under 5 mortality is directly or indirectly linked to malnutrition. Infection adds to the increased mortality and morbidity in these groups. Vaccination is very important in these undernourished children protecting against life-threatening infections. The goal of vaccination is to produce long-term protection by generating memory cells and the generation of antibodies. Since malnutrition is a state of immunodeficiency, the immune response to vaccines in these children is a matter of concern. We did an e...

Effectiveness of the Euvichol ® oral cholera vaccine at 2 years: a case-control and bias-indicator study in Haiti
Cholera accounts for a significant burden of morbidity and mortality, with recent years demonstrating an increase in the number of outbreaks globally.[1] As part of comprehensive cholera control efforts, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends use of oral cholera vaccine (OCV) in endemic and epidemic settings.[2] A global stockpile of WHO pre-qualified OCVs was established in 2013 and has since supplied the majority of OCVs used in outbreak settings.[3] (Source: International Journal of Infectious Diseases)

GSE247770 RNAseq of VP882 phage activation in V. cholerae
Contributors : Marcel Sprenger ; Malte Siemers ; Kai PapenfortSeries Type : Expression profiling by high throughput sequencingOrganism : Vibrio choleraeMany, if not all, bacteria use quorum sensing (QS) to control gene expression and collective behaviours, and more recently QS has also been discovered in bacteriophages (phages). Phages can produce communication molecules of their own, or “listen in” on the host’s communication processes, in order to switch between lytic and lysogenic modes of infection. In this project, we studied the interaction of Vibrio cholerae, the causative agent of cholera disease, with the...

Recent advances in enterotoxin vaccine adjuvants

Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTEnterotoxin adjuvants have been researched for their ability to promote immunity to co-delivered antigens. Outside of cholera vaccines, however, these proteins have yet to be included in any currently licensed vaccines. They include molecules derived from the bacterial toxins of Vibrio cholerae, cholera toxin, or Escherichia coli, heat-labile toxin, such as detoxified mutants or subunits. This class of adjuvants is distinguished by their delivery possibilities, which include parenteral injection, skin applications, or di...
