Neonates have an immature immune system, which cannot adequately protect against
infectious diseases. Early in life, immune protection is accomplished by maternal antibodies …

This paper attempts to summarize current knowledge about immune responses to vaccines
that correlate with protection. Although the immune system is redundant, almost all current …

The immune system is redundant, and B and T cells collaborate. However, almost all current
vaccines work through induction of antibodies in serum or on mucosa that block infection or …

Measles remains a leading vaccine-preventable cause of child mortality worldwide,
particularly in sub-Saharan Africa where almost half of the estimated 454,000 measles …

Measles is an acute systemic viral infection with immune system interactions that play
essential roles in multiple stages of infection and disease. Measles virus (MeV) infection …

Measles is an important cause of child mortality that has a seemingly paradoxical interaction
with the immune system. In most individuals, the immune response is successful in …

Measles virus (MV), a member of the genus Morbillivirus in the family Paramyxoviridae, is an
enveloped virus with a non-segmented, negative-strand RNA genome. It has two envelope …

Macaques have served as models for more than 70 human infectious diseases of diverse
etiologies, including a multitude of agents—bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites, prions. The …

Measles remains one of the most important causes of child morbidity and mortality
worldwide with the greatest burden in the youngest children. Most acute measles deaths are …

Measles virus (MeV) is the poster child for acute infection followed by lifelong immunity.
However, recent work shows the presence of MeV RNA in multiple sites for up to 3 mo after …
