  • An anti-malarial transmission-blocking vaccine (TBV) that prevents fertilization and/or ookinete/oocyst development within the mosquito is an attractive strategy to limit the transmission of malaria
  • The present study used this system to generate a Plasmodium vivax transmission-blocking immunogen (AcNPV-Dual-Pvs25).
  • Plasmodium vivax
  • ...10 more annotations...
  • A variety of expression vectors (e.g., Escherichia coli, Pichia pastoris and DNA) have been used to express Pvs25 protein which has been administered alone or in combination with adjuvants
  • To date these studies suggest that the recombinant protein currently requires both not only linear, but conformation dependent epitopes, and a strong adjuvant to induce transmission-blocking antibodies.
  • Intranasal and intramuscular immunization with Baculovirus Dual Expression System-based Pvs25 vaccine substantially blocks Plasmodium vivax transmission
  • Recently, we have developed a new vaccine vector system based on the baculovirus Autographa californica nucleopolyhedrosis virus (AcNPV) termed the “Baculovirus Dual Expression System”, which drives expression of vaccine candidate antigens by a dual promoter that consists of tandemly arranged baculovirus-derived polyhedrin and mammalian-derived CMV promoters. It has been shown that AcNPV, an enveloped double-stranded DNA virus that naturally infects insects, possesses strong adjuvant properties that can activate dendritic cell-mediated innate immunity
  • Mucosal vaccines have several attractive features compared with parenteral vaccines (e.g., safety, cost-effectiveness and ease of administration), but studies on their use have been limited almost exclusively to protection against mucosally transmitted pathogens. We provide evidence that i.n. immunization is a feasible alternative for preventing malaria, which is transmitted through non-mucosal routes
  • These results are consistent with our previous work showing that intranasal immunization with the baculovirus-based vaccine induced strong systemic humoral immune responses with high titres of antigen-specific antibodies and conferred complete protection against malaria blood-stage challenge
  • which can induce immunological memory against heterologous antigens in a rodent model; however, it is precluded from clinical use due to its enterotoxicity and potential hazardous effects on olfactory nerves [22]. In contrast, a baculovirus-based delivery system may offer an attractive immunization method, as AcNPV exhibits low cytotoxicity and is incapable of replication in mammalian cells
  • The data described here adds to previously presented data showing the significant potential of the baculovirus dual expression system against the blood stages of the parasite
  • but also demonstrates clearly its ability to induce antibodies against the ookinete surface protein Pvs25, and to elicit a transmission-blocking immune response against the P. vivax isolates from endemic areas, and a transgenic rodent malaria parasite model in preliminary studies.
  • One was SMFA on peripheral blood from P. vivax infected patients.

    in this article we can know about unique novel tymoviridae virus. they are characterising about this new virus. one of the most unique feature about them is they can replicate even in mosquitoes!in consider that no mosquitoes have been reported as vectores of plant viruse,this research is quite suprising thing! but something i want to recommend is ...first At the result, it said cell lysates did not react with antisera to known only a few arboviruses of the genera. And said this virus is an uncommon arbovirus . I think the author should define more specially about the subject. and second, this research said that CuTLV virus may be transferred to male mosquitoes feed on plant juices and can started to replicate in the insect also. Because marifviruses can potentially replicate both in plants and in insects but, I can't figure out how this viruse can move into human,(animal) different kinds of species , can make a disease even by male ! I think the writer should more explain about that route. the last thing is There is many pictures .but some of them ,like figure 4&figure 5, are too massy to be hard recognized or unneeded thing. So I think they need more arrangement about picture.

    i want to know about More detailed work of 5'-RACE . from that research, i could know that 5'-race make a complementary connection with second primer required for PCR mRNA so that provides a primer-binding site upstream of the unknown 5' sequence of the target mRNA !

      So, the baculovirus on TOP of having the H5HA on it, can also get the immune system to kick in better?
  • It is remarkable that low doses (103pfu/mouse) of BVs act as an effective adjuvant [41]. Therefore, reducing BV concentration and elongating vaccination intervals may prevent memory responses to BV administration
  • scanning densitometry
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • Foreign immunogens or peptides can be displayed on the envelope of AcMNPV by fusion with the baculovirus major envelope protein gp64
  • Baculoviruses have strong adjuvant activity to promote humoral and cellular immune responses against coadministered antigens, activate dendritic cells maturation, induce the production of cytokines, chemokines, and type I IFNs
  • There are two influenza vaccine approaches licensed in the US; the inactivated, split vaccine and the live-attenuated virus vaccine. Inactivated vaccines can efficiently induce humoral immune responses but generally only poor cellular immune responses.
  • Therefore, influenza HA can be displayed on the surface of baculovirus
  • virus-like particle (VLP)
  • Even though cellular immune responses cannot confer sterilizing immunity, they are able to reduce the severity of infection and lower morbidity and mortality rates [47], and antigen-specific memory T cells are able to rapidly respond to a secondary virus infection [45]. Furthermore, cellular immune responses to the conserved epitopes contained in vaccines may provide cross-protective immunity against different subtypes of influenza virus infection
  • To confirm that each HA was incorporated on the envelope of baculoviruses, supernatants from infected Sf9 cells were used to perform hemagglutination assay
  • Most BV display strategies rely on gp64 protein which is the major envelope protein of baculovirus.

    This paper gave me a better understanding of some aspects of my focal paper that were unclear. How to test for HA, and how baculoviruses may be adjuvants in addition to expression vectors.

  • In addition, our data demonstrate that increasing levels of co-infection can lead to widespread strain complementation, which acts to maintain high levels of phenotypic and genetic diversity and potentially slow selection for individual variants. Lastly, we show that cooperative interactions may lead to swarm fitness levels which exceed the relative fitness levels of any individual genotype.

  • Analysis of viruses isolated from brain provides direct evidence for complementation between members in the quasispecies, indicating that selection indeed occurs at the population level rather than on individual variants.

  • In mosquitoes, the shortened WNV genomes reduced infection and dissemination rates, and virus titers overall, and were not detected in legs or salivary secretions at 14 or 21 days post-infection. In mice, inoculation with internally deleted genomes did not attenuate pathogenesis relative to full-length or infectious clone derived virus, and shortened genomes were not detected in mice at the time of death.
