In this exploratory study, investigators will be looking at immune response differences between age groups and between the two different influenza vaccines given to identical twins, vaccine-naive young adults and elderly participants.
This pilot study will investigate B-cell responses following vaccination with live, attenuated influenza vaccine (LAIV) in healthy children 2 years of age from blood samples taken at designated time points before and after vaccination.
The study is a single centre, phase II, double-blind, randomized, comparative trial that explored the immunogenicity and safety of single dose a allantoic split inactivated seasonal influenza vaccine and VAXIGRIP vacccine in healthy adults the two age groups (in persons 18 to 60 years of age and older than 60 years).
Aging is associated with immunosenescence and impaired host defense mechanisms, contributing to influenza-related morbidity and mortality. Preliminary data demonstrate that the platelet transcriptome is markedly different between healthy subjects and influenza patients. Interferon-induced transmembrane proteins (IFITM) family members are among the transcripts significantly increased in platelets during influenza and expression of IFITM-3 is impaired in elderly subjects, a pattern associated with increased mortality. This study will build on these data and investigate if aging influences the expression of platelet IFITM family members in patients with influenza and sepsis. This study will prospectively determine if aging alters the induction of (IFITMs) in platelets from hospitalized influenza and sepsis patients. The study will also determine if diminished expression of IFITM family members correlates with an increased risk of adverse outcomes in older influenza and sepsis patients.
Influenza associated illness has a global annual impact with high morbidity and mortality. Transmission mechanisms and rates are under-investigated and overall poorly understood. This project aims to use epidemiological tools to understand the transmission and evolution of influenza viruses at an individual and population level within a small-scale city (Basel) through a combination of experimental, clinical and mathematical advances. The investigators aim to quantitatively characterize the viral transmission using novel molecular-epidemiological tools based on whole genome sequencing.
The investigators propose a unique methodology of studying infection and vaccination history and immune responses. As most studies in infection history are conducted on mice, limitations are inherent on their applicability to humans. A longitudinal comparison study following older adults (over the age of 65) hospitalized for influenza are followed through to their hospital discharge and vaccination in the following season. This will allow for the investigation of the course of infection, as well as impact on the response to vaccination.
This is a Phase 2a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study designed to assess the safety and tolerability of an investigational monoclonal antibody, VIS410, in subjects with uncomplicated influenza.
The purpose is to investigate B-cell response to the trivalent Influenza Vaccine (TIV) in healthy young adults. In particular, we will use unique strategies to study in detail the immune responses of immunoglobulins and antibody CDR3 before and after immunization.
This study evaluates the statistics of influenza and acute respiratory viral infections (ARVI) management in outpatient sites in Russia, Armenia, Moldova and Georgia (epidemiology: disease severity and bacterial exacerbations; patients demography; treatment duration and timelines; safety; quality of treatment) in routine clinical practice with focus on drug therapy and usage of interferons' inducers.
