Questão Responda
traditional whole organism vaccine dead, attenuated, inactivated
examples of traditional whole organism vaccines BCG, measles, mumps, polio, yellow feve, flu, rabies
vaccine programs limited by economics education (uptake) logistics liability
third world vaccine considerations multiple doses stability (heat) availibility of needles/syringes cost
The role of the WHO SMALLPOX early 60s threatened 60% world & killed 25% of infected. campaign from 67 to 77 effectively eliminated natural occurrence of smallpox.
Role of WHO-Polio Global Polio Eradication Initiative in 1988, infections fallen by 99%, estimated five million people have escaped paralysis.
Role WHO- Measles Between 1999 and 2003, deaths from measles have decreased worldwide by almost 40%, and some regions have reached targets for eliminating the disease.
estimated cost savings of vaccines in US-$1 invested saves $2-27 in health care expenses.
Expanded Programme on Immunization and the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization (GAVI) International initiative providing the impetus, funding, and technical support to help increase the number of vaccines provided and immunization coverage
Polio in crisis Tajikstan polio eliminated more than 10 years -outbreak in April 2010 left 400 paralysed and reports in Republic of Congo show polio has returned
Many of the problems associated with vaccines could be solved by 1. isolating proteins from the organism 2.making recombinant protein versions 3. Genetic engineering heat stable versions and edible vaccines
3 approachs for recombinant vaccines 1.inject,ingest or inhale recomb prot 2. place gene in virus and infect patient 3.gene vaccine
examples of recombinant vaccines Hep B HIV cholera
vaccinia virus approach to rabies erradicated in western europe. rabies glycoprotien gene inserted into vaccinia virus then into chicken heads. (foxes)
3 mechanism of gene vaccines particle bombardment creams liposomes
advantages of edible vaccines cheap, stable and freely available overcome refrigeration and sterility problems
disadvantages associated with edible vaccines expression levels of the transgene are low variability in immunogenicity and stability
there are edible vaccines in development targeted against rabies TB and diarrheal diseases
How bioinformatics helps in vaccine design ID surface proteins unique to organism. Ensure no human homologues. Check will be recognised by T or B cells. Use these as targets for vaccine production
production of vaccine by mutagenesis create auxotrophs that cannot survive in a human
anti tumour vaccines 1. expose dendritic cells in culture to synthetic peptices resembling tumor surface antigens 2. inject cells where they present peptides and immune response mounted
vaccine take home message good news BUT can be difficult to develop and may themselves present safety problems
