Emerging Vaccine Technologies

Rebecca J Loomis et al. Vaccines (Basel). .

Abstract

Vaccination has proven to be an invaluable means of preventing infectious diseases by reducing both incidence of disease and mortality. However, vaccines have not been effectively developed for many diseases including HIV-1, hepatitis C virus (HCV), tuberculosis and malaria, among others. The emergence of new technologies with a growing understanding of host-pathogen interactions and immunity may lead to efficacious vaccines against pathogens, previously thought impossible.

Keywords: epitope-scaffold; immunoprophylaxis; reverse vaccinology; structural vaccinology; vaccine.
