Table of Contents (PDF) July 5, 2011 u vol. 108 u no. 27 u 10927–11298 Cover image: Pictured is a high-speed photograph of a water drop that appears almost solid and glass-like at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. Ove Andersson reports ex- perimental results that suggest that pressures above 10,000 atm collapse the structure of ice at low temperatures and yield ultraviscous water at 140 K. Ultraviscous water produced in this manner has a similar structure to water at typical Earth temperatures and pressures but is about 35% denser. See the article by Andersson on pages 11013–11016.

  • Vaccines, Emerging Viruses, and How to Avoid Disaster Rino Rappuoli
    Rappuoli BMC Biology 2014, 12:100 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1741-7007/12/100 INTERVIEW Open Access Vaccines, emerging viruses, and how to avoid disaster Rino Rappuoli Abstract Rino Rappuoli is a graduate of Siena University, where he also earned his PhD before moving to the Sclavo Research Center, the Italian vaccine institute, also in Siena. He then spent two years in the USA, mostly at Harvard with John Murphy and Alwin Pappenheimer working on a new diphtheria vaccine based on a non-toxic mutant of diphtheria toxin which has since become the basis for conjugate vaccines against haemophilus, meningococcus, and pneumococcal infections, before returning to the Sclavo Research Center where he developed an acellular vaccine based on a mutant pertussis toxin. With many achievements Rino Rappuoli in vaccine development to his credit, he is now Global Head of Vaccines Research and Development for Novartis Vaccines in Siena, and has most recently breaking out. Ebola virus is by far the most lethal that we pioneered reverse vaccinology, in which the genome have now, but all of the others are very dangerous. of the pathogen is screened for candidate antigenic and immunogenic vaccine components. We spoke to him about the potential for outbreaks of the kind we I know that there are ’flu vaccines, but are there are now seeing with Ebolavirus in West Africa, and licensed vaccines for any of the others? what can be done to prevent them. The answer is no - there are no vaccines for SARS, which emerged in 2003, there is no licensed vaccine for MERS, there is no licensed vaccine for Chikungunya, Ebolavirus disease has been much in the news there is no licensed vaccine for Ebola - so for most of recently because of the horrendous outbreak in these diseases there are no vaccines, because they are – West Africa but how many other rare, sporadic too rare to justify the economic investment.

  • Drugs and Vaccines Will Be Necessary to Control Tuberculosis
    applied sciences Editorial Drugs and Vaccines Will Be Necessary to Control Tuberculosis Rino Rappuoli 1,2,3 1 GSK, 53100 Siena, Italy; [email protected] 2 Monoclonal Antibody Discovery Lab, Fondazione Toscana Life Sciences, 53100 Siena, Italy 3 Imperial College London, London SW7 2AZ, UK Received: 5 June 2020; Accepted: 9 June 2020; Published: 10 June 2020 For most infectious diseases, vaccines are used to prevent infection and drugs are used for acute therapy and eradication of established infections. This is not the case for tuberculosis, where BCG, the vaccine against tuberculosis, which is given to most children in low- and middle-income countries, does not prevent infection, but it is only effective in decreasing infant mortality. The consequence is that infection occurs in one third of the global population and, following infection, the bacterium establishes a lifelong chronic presence. More than 2 billion people today are chronically infected. The immune system of the chronically infected individuals is effective to keep the bacterium at bay for most of the time, however there are circumstances where the immune system becomes temporarily or permanently weaker and the bacterium escapes the immunity and causes severe disease. The consequence are 1.5 million deaths every year. In addition to the only partially effective BCG vaccine against tuberculosis, also the available therapies for tuberculosis are suboptimal. They require months to eradicate the infection and they are largely ineffective due to the increasing rate of bacteria resistant to antibiotics. The question we have is why in 2020 we still rely on a vaccine developed a century ago (in 1922) and why we do not have better drugs.

  • Profile of Rino Rappuoli
    PROFILE Profile of Rino Rappuoli ino Rappuoli grew up in the shadow of what he describes as a testament to the devastating impact of infectious disease: Rthe unfinished wall of the Siena Cathe- dral in Siena, Italy. When the plague hit the city in 1348, it slashed the popula- tion from 100,000 to 30,000. ‘‘It basically shut down one of the most powerful economies of the time, and that momen- tum was lost forever. I see it as an ex- ample of what could happen today with pandemic influenza,’’ says Rappuoli, whose current research focuses on devel- oping a vaccine for avian influenza. Rappuoli, currently the Global Head of Vaccines Research for Novartis Vaccines & Diagnostics (Siena, Italy), was elected as a foreign associate of the National Academy of Sciences in 2005. He has spent his career developing vaccines for pertussis, meningitis, and Helicobacter pylori and is jointly responsible for engi- neering the carrier protein used in many conjugate vaccines. He is credited with launching the field of reverse vaccinology, the first fruits of which are revealed in his Inaugural Article in this issue of PNAS Rino Rappuoli (1), where he describes a universal vaccine for serogroup B meningococcus. fellowship at Siena’s Sclavo Research to Alwin Pappenheimer, who became a Bucolic Beginnings Center, the Italian vaccine institute that mentor to Rappuoli. ‘‘He was one of Rappuoli was born in 1952, in Radicofani, had been developing and producing vac- the fathers of microbiology and immun- Italy, a village 40 miles south of Siena. cines for almost a century. ology....Heisanother person who really When he was 11, his family moved closer shaped my career,’’ says Rappuoli.

Generic drug Tmanufacturers have met this challenge, ensuring a stable supply of life-saving medicines for patients throughout the pandemic. However, the long-term sustainability of the generic and emerging biosimilars medicines market faces threats. Policymakers should consider and address the unique challenges facing generics and biosimilars to maintain long-term access to cost savings for patients. In its latest paper, Securing Sustainable Markets, the Association for Accessible Medicines (AAM) announced a series of policy proposals intended to ensure patient access to lower-cost medicines (1). Generic drugs face competitive imbalances in the market, such as a highly consolidated drug purchasing system controlled by a few major organizations, combined with ill-advised government policies.

Review Series Vaccination has played a significant role in controlling and eliminating life-threatening infectious diseases throughout the world, and yet currently licensed vaccines represent only the tip of the iceberg in terms of controlling human pathogens. However, as we discuss in this Review, the arrival of the genome era has revolutionized vaccine development and catalyzed a shift from conventional culture-based approaches to genome-based vaccinology. The availability of complete bacterial genomes has led to the development and application of high-throughput analyses that enable rapid targeted identification of novel vaccine antigens. Furthermore, structural vaccinology is emerging as a powerful tool for the rational design or modification of vaccine antigens to improve their immunogenicity and safety.
