Abstract

Chronic infectious diseases are threatening human health today, and their public health severity is increasing. The efficacy issues of drugs and the increase in drug-resistant pathogens require new response strategies for chronic infectious diseases, and therapeutic vaccines have recently been proposed as an effective alternative. However, research on therapeutic vaccines is still relatively underdeveloped. To solve this problem, an accurate understanding of the status and the challenge at hand of therapeutic vaccines targeting chronic infectious diseases is needed. In the present review, we provide an overview of the latest research trends in therapeutic vaccines targeting chronic infectious diseases and summarize the development status of therapeutic vaccines currently undergoing clinical research, focusing on the cases of human papillomavirus (HPV) and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) as representative examples. We highlight the importance of standard methods for the evaluation of therapeutic vaccine, focusing on the cell-mediated immune response, which might accelerate therapeutic vaccine development.

期刊介绍： (formerly Human Vaccines; issn 1554-8619) Vaccine research and development is extending its reach beyond the prevention of bacterial or viral diseases. There are experimental vaccines for immunotherapeutic purposes and for applications outside of infectious diseases, in diverse fields such as cancer, autoimmunity, allergy, Alzheimer’s and addiction. Many of these vaccines and immunotherapeutics should become available in the next two decades, with consequent benefit for human health. Continued advancement in this field will benefit from a forum that can (A) help to promote interest by keeping investigators updated, and (B) enable an exchange of ideas regarding the latest progress in the many topics pertaining to vaccines and immunotherapeutics. Human Vaccines & Immunotherapeutics provides such a forum. It is published monthly in a format that is accessible to a wide international audience in the academic, industrial and public sectors.
