1. Recombinant vaccines and the development of new vaccine strategies
Vaccines were initially developed on an empirical basis, relying mostly on attenuation or inactivation of pathogens. Advances in immunology, molecular biology, biochemistry, genomics, and proteomics have added new perspectives to the vaccinology field. The use of recombinant proteins allows the targeting of immune responses focused against few protective ant

2. Development of a therapeutic vaccine against HPV16 / Desenvolvimento de vacina terapêutica contra HPV16
Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer among women worldwide. Most cases (83%) occur in developing countries, where they are found in relatively advanced stages and, consequently, the median survival is about 49% after five years. Therefore, an effective vaccine against HPV infections can lead to control of cancer of the cervix. Although preventabl

3. The immunology of Epstein-Barr virus infection.
Epstein-Barr virus is a classic example of a persistent human virus that has caught the imagination of immunologists, virologists and oncologists because of the juxtaposition of a number of important properties. First, the ability of the virus to immortalize B lymphocytes in vitro has provided an antigen presenting cell in which all the latent antigens of th

4. Hepatitis B Core Antigen: Immunology and Electron Microscopy
Two distinct viral antigens are associated with the hepatitis B virus: the hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg, Australia antigen) and the hepatitis B core antigen (HBcAg). HBsAg, purified from the serum of asymptomatic human HBsAg carriers, and HBcAg, purified from the liver of a chimpanzee acutely infected with hepatitis B virus, were examined by serologica
