 NNii. Vaccine Information
More than 95% of vaccine recipients are protected against smallpox for three years after the first dose, though some immunity may last as long as 10 years.  Revaccination several years after the first dose increases immunity anywhere from 10 years to 30 years.
Researchers now are concentrating on developing and testing drugs against smallpox; developing a new vaccine with fewer side effects, which is particularly important for people with compromised immune systems; and researching the smallpox genetic code.

 Simpler and quicker toxin detection - 11 April
Having vaccines developed by computer may sound unnerving but the increasing role of computer modelling in the development of new vaccines could bring new products onto the market quicker, benefiting patients and saving pharmaceutical companies millions of pounds.
Researchers using informatics and computer modelling can help scientists to uncover and harness the hidden patterns in the wealth of DNA and protein sequences that modern bioscience generates and cut the number of compounds drug companies need to test when searching for new vaccines.
Researchers funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) and working at the Edward Jenner Institute for Vaccine Research are using a very simple concept to help speed up the development of vaccines.

The objective of the group is to participate in, and develop, clinical studies that further the understanding of the pathogenesis of HIV disease and assess new anti-retroviral agents and strategies that help to improve the outcome of treatment in patients with HIV infection.
The three main research area of the group are new antiretroviral agents, antiretroviral treatment strategies and pathogenesis of HIV clinical disease.
The group has for the last six years collaborated with the Edward Jenner Institute for Vaccine research and the Wohl Virion Centre, UCL investigating various aspects of the early virus post immune system interaction during HIV infection.

 BioPortfolio News : New immunology research from Edward Jenner Institute for Vaccine Research discussed
According to recent research from Compton, the United Kingdom, "Interleukin (IL)-7 and IL-15 are cytokines implicated in homeostatic control of the peripheral CD8 T-cell pool.
Notably, progression of naïve CD8+ T cells through several cell divisions resulted in up-regulation of telomerase and the maintenance of telomere length," wrote D.L. Wallace and colleagues, Edward Jenner Institute for Vaccine Research.
The researchers concluded: "These data show that IL-7 and IL-15 induce cell proliferation and rescue from apoptosis in a concentration, time and subset-dependent manner, and have implications for the homeostatic expansion of the naïve CD8+ T-cell pool."

 The Edward Jenner Institute for Vaccine Research
Placed at the cutting edge of biomedical research, Molecular Informatics is itself a combination of two domain specific disciplines: bioinformatics, which is the application of informatics techniques to biological molecules; and chemoinformatics, which leverages informatic solutions in a chemical context.
One of the principal goals of immunoinformatics is to develop computer aided vaccine design, or computational vaccinology, and apply it to the search for new or enhanced vaccines.
We are also interested in the automated analysis of pathogen genomes, as a tool for the discovery of anti-viral and anti-bacterial vaccine candidates.

 Computational assignation of protein subcellular location in a reverse vaccinology context
Despite the numerous successful vaccines produced over the last 200 years of vaccinology and the advances made in vaccine discovery techniques in that time there are still problems with existing approaches.
Not all pathogens will successfully grow in vitro as is required for conventional methodologies with Hepatitis B and C viruses being prime examples of such organisms.
This is necessary as secreted or surface bound proteins are more accessible to antibody than intracellular proteins and therefore represent the ideal vaccine candidates.
