Implementation of a vaccination clinic for adult solid organ transplant candidates: A single-center experience
Vaccine. 2023 Sep 27:S0264-410X(23)01106-4. doi: 10.1016/j.vaccine.2023.09.036. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTVaccination is an evidence-based strategy to prevent or reduce the severity of infectious diseases (ID). Here, we aimed to describe the experience of implementing a vaccination clinic specifically targeting liver, heart, lung, and combined dual organ transplantation at a single transplantation center in Denmark. In this cohort of 242 solid organ transplant (SOT) candidates, we investigated seroprotection and the proportion of recommended vaccinations documented before transplantation. Furthermore, we registered com...

Viruses, Vol. 15, Pages 2013: A Bioreactor-Based Yellow Fever Virus-Like Particle Production Process with Integrated Process Analytical Technology Based on Transient Transfection
Denise Salzig Yellow Fever (YF) is a severe disease that, while preventable through vaccination, lacks rapid intervention options for those already infected. There is an urgent need for passive immunization techniques using YF-virus-like particles (YF-VLPs). To address this, we successfully established a bioreactor-based production process for YF-VLPs, leveraging transient transfection and integrating Process Analytical Technology. A cornerstone of this approach was the optimization of plasmid DNA (pDNA) production to a yield of 11 mg/L using design of experiments. Glucose, NaCl, yeast extract, and a phosphate buffer s...

Standardization, validation, and comparative evaluation of a faster and high-performance test for quantification of yellow fever neutralizing antibodies
This study aimed to standardize, validate, and compare it with the reference method in 6-well plates (PRNT). Once the execution protocol was standardized, precision, accuracy, selectivity, and robustness were evaluated to validate the μFRN-HRP. In addition, 200 sera of vaccinees were processed by the μFRN-HRP and by the micro-PRNT to compare with the reference test, estimating agreement by Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC). The standardization and validation of the μFRN-HRP was carried out successfully. Weak to moderate agreement was observed between μFRN-HRP and PRNT for titers in reciprocal dilution, while the...

Insecticide susceptibility status on Aedes aegypti (Linn) and Aedes albopictus (Skuse) of Chittorgarh district, Rajasthan, India
This study was carried out to check the degree of resistance among these vectors in the Chittorgarh district of Rajasthan, India through standard World Health Organization protocol. The resistance was monitored to pyrethroids i.e., deltamethrin (0.05%), permethrin (0.75%), alphacypermethrin (0.05%); organochlorine i.e., DDT (4%), and an organophosphate larvicide i.e., temephos (0.02 mg/L) in both vector species. Complete resistance to DDT was observed among all tested populations of both species. All tested populations of Aedes albopictus were found susceptible to pyrethroids. Aedes aegypti was found resistant in the Manga...
