Abstract

The natural history of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is complex. Individuals may experience primary infection, reactivation of latent infection, or reinfection with a new strain despite natural immunity. The ability of this virus to continue to replicate despite substantial immune responses is attributable to the many immune evasion genes encoded within its genome. Given this complex natural history and immunology, the design of clinical trials of CMV vaccines may require components not usually found in trials of vaccines designed to protect against viruses that cause only acute infections. In this article, we focus on specific aspects of clinical trial design that could be adopted to address the complexities of CMV infections. We consider women of childbearing age, toddlers, recipients of solid organ transplantation, and stem cell transplant patients, emphasizing the parallels between women and solid organ transplantation that could allow vaccines to be developed in parallel in both these patient groups. We emphasize the potential for studies of passive immunity to inform the selection of immunogens as candidates for active immunization and vice versa. We also illustrate how application of whole-genomic sequencing could docu...Continue Reading

Genetics & Epigenetics of Aging

Dozens of genes are implicated in lifespan, and epigenetic changes during aging affect cell function. This feed focuses on the genetics and epigenetics of aging.

Antigenic Modulation

Antigenic modulation occurs when an antibody cross-links antigens on a cell surface, causing the antigens to become internalized. This can lead to therapeutic failure of monoclonal antibodies as the expression of the antigen becomes decreased on target cells. Find the latest research on antigenic modulation here.
