Abstract:
A phase I study assessed the safety and immunogenicity of the naked DNA Omicron BA.2 booster vaccine, Alveavax-v1.2, in 130 South African adults previously vaccinated with Janssen Ad26.COV2.S. Participants received varying doses intradermally or subcutaneously, or a Janssen booster as a control. The vaccine was well tolerated, with mild to moderate adverse events across all groups and no serious events linked to vaccination. However, the antibody response was modest, with no significant increases in Omicron BA.2 titers observed in any group. The vaccine remained shelf stable for over six months at room temperature.

Cancer Vaccines
Cancer vaccines come in two categories: preventive (prophylactic) and treatment (active). Preventive vaccines, such as the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine, protect against viruses that cause certain...

What is Immunological Memory?
Immunological memory is an integral function of the immune system that allows it to recognize and react more rapidly and effectively to pathogens previously encountered. This feature...
Development of Immunocompetence
The initial cells that migrate from the fetal thymus settle within the skin and epithelial tissues lining the mouth, digestive tract, and in females, the uterus and vagina. These cells, including skin-based dendritic cells, serve as antigen-presenting cells, playing a key role in T cell activation.
Subsequent T...
