The development of vaccines, which prime the immune system to respond to future
infections, has led to global declines in morbidity and mortality from dreadful infectious …

Vaccines, like drugs and medical procedures, are increasingly amenable to individualization
or personalization, often based on novel data resulting from high throughput “omics” …

A genome-wide association study (GWAS) of educational attainment was conducted in a
discovery sample of 101,069 individuals and a replication sample of 25,490. Three …

Recent progress in genomics and bioinformatics technologies have allowed for the
emergence of immunogenomics field. This intersection of immunology and genetics has …

Many molecular mechanisms that lead to the host antibody response to COVID-19 vaccines
remain largely unknown. In this study, we used serum antibody detection combined with …

The introduction of anti-SARS-CoV-2 vaccines in late 2020 substantially changed the
pandemic picture, inducing effective protection in the population. However, individual …

The genus Bacillus is a diverse group of spore-forming bacteria. Bacillus species have
implications in both medical and biodefense aspects of microbiology. This chapter attempts …

Interindividual variations in vaccine-induced immune responses are in part due to host
genetic polymorphisms in the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) and other gene families. This …

Background The impact of individual genetic and genomic variations on immune responses
is an emerging lever investigated in vaccination strategies. In our study, we used genetic …

A number of factors are recognized to influence immune responses to vaccinations including
age, gender, the dose, and quality of the antigen used, the number of doses given, the route …
