The basic principle of the vaccines is to induce protection against pathogens by simulating its interaction with the immune system, allowing to generate a memory immune response. To achieve this protection, the interaction and binding of both innate and adaptive immune responses is required. Intradermal (ID) delivery of vaccines achieves direct injection of the antigen into the dermis, where the largest numbers of immune cells are found (macrophages, dendritic cells, Langerhans cells, B and T lymphocytes, and mast cells, among others). It is a novel route that elicits antibody responses equivalent to other routes of administration but at lower doses, a phenomenon known as \"dose saving\". This route also allows for better thermo-stability of the antigen, fewer booster immunizations and, as a consequence, increased adherence to the vaccination regimens with less burden on the medical personnel. There are currently several vaccines for the ID administration on the market, and several more under development; with good safety profiles and efficacy rates. In this article, we review the most important aspects of the immune system within the skin, the pathways by which vaccines are applied to the skin intradermally to produce an adequate immune response, and also their advantages and disadvantages. The skin has important immune machinery, thanks to which both innate and adaptive immune responses merge. This interaction allows for the basis of vaccination: development of memory responses to various antigens, providing protection for the future re-exposures.","PeriodicalId":52727,"journal":{"name":"Vaccine Research","volume":"7 2","pages":"15-21"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"http://vacres.pasteur.ac.ir/files/site1/user_files_612bc6/teresa-A-10-1505-1-9562518.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147901159","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Maestroni","doi":"10.52547/vacres.7.2.97","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.52547/vacres.7.2.97","url":null,"abstract":"Vaccines are a major weapon to control the present COVID-19 pandemic. To achieve this goal, vaccines should confer a robust and long-lasting immunity against SARS-Cov-2. Breakthrough infections and waning immunity are currently observed in patients that recovered from COVID-19 as well as in the vaccinated people. Therefore, a highly effective vaccine is needed to control the present and future outbreaks. Exogenous Nacetyl- 5-methoxy-tryptamine or melatonin (MLT) is well known to potentiate an effective and equilibrated immune response in a variety of situation including viral and bacterial infections and vaccines against different microbial and cancer antigens. In regard to anti- SARS-Cov-2 vaccines, beside stimulating specific IgG production as well as specific CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, exogenous MLT might also enhance specific IgA and secretory IgA in the mucosae;hence, preventing the re-infection and/or asymptomatic transmission of the virus. Thus, a study is urgently proposed to evaluate the effects of MLT administration either before or after vaccination against SARS-Cov-2 to evaluate its effect on strength, quality and duration of the immunity. Las but not least, due to its powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, MLT administration might minimize the occurrence of adverse events after the vaccination.","PeriodicalId":52727,"journal":{"name":"Vaccine Research","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42066251","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

After 48 hours, their transfection efficiency was evaluated using fluorescent microscopy and flow cytometry. Results: The pEGFP-nef , - hsp27, -hsp27-nef, -hsp70 and - hsp70 - nef constructs were successfully prepared in large scale and high purity. The results of cell transfection with each construct showed that the percentages of Nef-GFP, Hsp27-GFP, Hsp27-Nef-GFP, Hsp70-GFP, Hsp70-Nef-GFP, Hsp70-GFP + Nef-GFP and GFP expression were 53.1 0.2, 64.22 0.8, 57.1 0.7, 68.8 1.0, 61.7 0.7, 77.4 1.5 and 81.8 1.8, respectively. Conclusion: These data showed that the potency of Hsp70 was more than Hsp27 for increasing Nef-GFP expression in HEK-293T cells. Moreover, the delivery of pEGFP-nef along with pEGFP-hsp70 increased the rate of GFP population in the cells as compared to that in pEGFP-hsp70-nef. These constructs will be used for development of HIV-1 DNA vaccine in animal model in near Future.","PeriodicalId":52727,"journal":{"name":"Vaccine Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48016767","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The purpose of this study was to examine knowledge level and to determine the factors that influence parents’ knowledge on rotavirus diarrhea and vaccine. Methods: The study applied an observational study design with a multi-center cross-sectional approach. The research instrument used a questionnaire to determine the sociodemographic variables and knowledge of respondents. Results: Data were collected from a survey of 500 parents in 5 provinces including Province of Central Kalimantan, Lampung, Central Sulawesi, West Java, and Yogyakarta in Indonesia using convenience sampling technique. Parents’ knowledge in this study was quite good with the average score of 78.2 ± 16.81. However, out of 500 respondents, only 158 (31.6%) parents knew that the rotavirus vaccine was not included in Indonesia's national health insurance program. There was a significant difference in the average of knowledge between the characteristics groups of age, education, monthly expenditure and experience of hearing diarrhea and rotavirus vaccine, vaccinating and source of disease information and vaccine (p <0.05). Conclusion: This study suggests the need of health promotion related to rotavirus diarrhea and vaccine in order to achieve equitable distribution of information and increase public knowledge to support future immunization programs.
