Host-pathogen interactions (33 entities)
Pathogens have evolved sophisticated strategies to infect, propagate and persist within their hosts. Here, host-pathogen interactions are studied at the molecular, cellular, organ and whole-organism levels. The long-term goal of these studies is to identify novel targets for diagnosis, vaccination and treatment.

The mechanism of an AIDS vaccine candidate filmed in vivo
Using innovative technology, scientists from the Institut Pasteur and Inserm have filmed in vivo the process by which an AIDS vaccine candidate, developed by the French Vaccine Research Institute and the ANRS, triggers the immune response. This previously unseen footage clearly shows how the vaccine recruits the immune cells needed to destroy infected cells. These results shed new light on the...

Spike glycoprotein, lentiviral vectors and B/T-cell vaccine
Aims: to develop as quickly as possible:an in vitro test to detect and quantify SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibodies while avoiding the need to handle the virus. The test will be used to demonstrate the feasibility of vaccine candidates (proof of concept).The availability of a test of this type is crucial in searching for antibodies in samples from patients with Covid-19. These...

Yellow fever: understanding the rare side effects of vaccines
Preventive vaccination is a powerful tool in controlling viral outbreaks. It is important that any side effects associated with the use of vaccines are as mild as possible. Scientists from the Institut Pasteur set out to understand the reasons behind the rare neurological side effects that occasionally occur with use of the yellow fever vaccine. They studied a vaccine strain known as FNV, which...

Meningitis: analysis of the long-term protection of the MenAfriVac vaccine
Frequent and major outbreaks of meningococcal meningitis have swept through countries in the "African meningitis belt", a region south of the Sahara that stretches from Senegal to Ethiopia, for over a century. To tackle this public health emergency, a group A polysaccharide tetanus toxoid conjugate vaccine (also called MenAfriVac) was developed against meningococcus. Using data from several...
