The live attenuated 17DD Yellow Fever vaccine is one of the most successful prophylactic interventions for controlling disease expansion ever designed and utilized in larger scale. However, increase on worldwide demands manufacturing restrictions urge more detailed dose sparing studies. establishment complementary biomarkers addition to PRNT Viremia could support a secure decision-making regarding use YF subdoses. present work aimed at comparing serum chemokine cytokine kinetics triggered by...

ABSTRACT Yellow fever (YF) vaccines (17D-204 and 17DD) are well tolerated cause very low rates of severe adverse events (YEL-SAE), such as serious allergic reactions, neurotropic diseases (YEL-AND), viscerotropic (YEL-AVD). Viral host factors have been postulated to explain the basis YEL-SAE. However, mechanisms underlying occurrence YEL-SAE remain unknown. The present report provides a detailed immunological analysis 23-year-old female patient. patient developed suspected case YEL-AVD with...

ABSTRACT All currently licensed yellow fever (YF) vaccines are propagated in chicken embryos. Recent studies of chick cell-derived measles and mumps show evidence two types retrovirus particles, the endogenous avian (EAV) leukosis virus (ALV-E), which originate from embryonic fibroblast substrates. In this study, we investigated substrate-derived contamination YF produced by three manufacturers (YF-vax [Connaught Laboratories], Stamaril [Aventis], YF-FIOCRUZ [FIOCRUZ-Bio-Manguinhos])....

Flaviviruses cause severe acute febrile and haemorrhagic infections, including dengue yellow fever the pathogenesis of these infections is caused by an exacerbated immune response. Dendritic cells (DCs) are targets for virus (DENV) (YF) replication first cell population to interact with viruses during a natural infection, which leads induction protective immunity in humans. We studied infectivity DENV2 (strain 16681), YF vaccine (YF17DD) chimeric YF17D/DENV2 monocyte-derived DCs vitro regard...

During recent years, vaccination against hepatitis A has been implemented in several countries. It is expected that the increase mass will eventually result a decreased prevalence of anti-HAV antibodies general population. For this reason, suitable clinical sample for diagnosis must be sufficiently sensitive to enable detection lower titers. In study, feasibility using dried blood spots (DBS) was assessed after natural infection and vaccination. Seventy-four DBS paired plasma samples were...
