Journal Article
Barlow, P. G., Beaumont, P. E., Cosseau, C., Mackellar, A., Wilkinson, T. S., Hancock, R. E. W., Haslett, C., Govan, J. R. W., Simpson, A. J., & Davidson, D. J. (2010). The Human Cathelicidin LL-37 Preferentially Promotes Apoptosis of Infected Airway Epithelium. American Journal of Respiratory Cell and Molecular Biology, 43(6), 692-702. https://doi.org/10.1165/rcmb.2009-0250oc

Cationic host defense peptides are key, evolutionarily conserved components of the innate immune system. The human cathelicidin LL-37 is an important cationic host defense peptide up-regulated in infection and inflammation, specifically in the human...

A Candidate H1N1 Pandemic Influenza Vaccine Elicits Protective Immunity in Mice (2010)
Journal Article
Steitz, J., Barlow, P. G., Hossain, J., Kim, E., Okada, K., Kenniston, T., Rea, S., Donis, R. O., & Gambotto, A. (2010). A Candidate H1N1 Pandemic Influenza Vaccine Elicits Protective Immunity in Mice. PLOS ONE, 5(5), Article e10492. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0010492

Background
In 2009 a new pandemic disease appeared and spread globally. The recent emergence of the pandemic influenza virus H1N1 first isolated in Mexico and USA raised concerns about vaccine availability. We here report our development of an adeno... Read More about A Candidate H1N1 Pandemic Influenza Vaccine Elicits Protective Immunity in Mice.

Improved protection against avian influenza H5N1 virus by a single vaccination with virus-like particles in skin using microneedles (2010)
Journal Article
Song, J., Kim, Y., Barlow, P. G., Hossain, M. J., Park, K., Donis, R. O., Prausnitz, M. R., Compans, R. W., & Kang, S. (2010). Improved protection against avian influenza H5N1 virus by a single vaccination with virus-like particles in skin using microneedles. Antiviral Research, 88(2), 244-247. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.antiviral.2010.09.001

To develop a more effective vaccination method against H5N1 virus, we investigated the immunogenicity and protective efficacy after skin vaccination using microneedles coated with influenza virus-like particles containing hemagglutinin derived from A...
