      <title>Hepatitis A vaccine nonclinical efficacy can be tested in IFN receptor KO mice</title>
      <description>
        <![CDATA[Conventional mouse models are not susceptible to hepatitis A virus (HAV) because murine adaptor protein MAVS is not efficiently cleaved by HAV protease precursors, so intact type I interferon (IFN) signaling blocks productive infection. However, IFN receptor knockout (KO) mice are susceptible to HAV infection and show hallmark features of the infection, having recently been identified as a potential disease model.&nbsp;Researchers from Genematrix Inc. aimed to determine whether nonclinical efficacy studies can be performed in small animal models.]]>

      <title>First measles treatment advances as vaccination rates drop</title>
      <description>
        <![CDATA[Scientists at the La Jolla Institute for Immunology have identified and characterized human antibodies that neutralize the measles virus by blocking its entry into the cell. This is the first time that antibodies have been shown to bind effectively to two essential viral proteins, creating a dual blockade that prevents infection. Unlike the current vaccine, which is based on an attenuated virus and is not recommended for immunocompromised individuals, these monoclonal antibodies could be used both as a new vaccine approach and as a treatment for the entire population.]]>
