Epidemic Analysis and Mathematical Modelling of Influenza with Vaccination. by Musiime, Catherine

“…We show that if the product of the recruitment rate and the ratio of infection rate to mean latent period is less than the product the sums µ + m, µ + m and + a + y; where µ, a, y, m and 1/ware natural death rate, disease-related death rate, recovery rate, vaccination rate and mean latent period, respectively; then the disease-free equilibrium will be locally and globally asymptotically stable, an indication that that disease can be eradicated from the population.…”

TGFβ-specific T cells induced by a TGFβ-derived immune modulatory vaccine both directly and indirectly modulate the phenotype of tumor-associated macrophages and fibroblasts by Mads Hald Andersen, Inés Lecoq, Evelina Martinenaite, Maria Perez-Penco, Lucia Lara de la Torre

“…We found that TGFβ-specific T cells induced by the TGFβ vaccine can recognize M2 macrophages and fibroblasts. Furthermore, we demonstrated that the phenotype of M2 macrophages and CAFs can be directly modulated by TGFβ-specific T cells induced by the TGFβ vaccine, as well as indirectly modulated as a result of the immune-modulatory effects of the vaccine within the TME. …”
