Cross-Protective Vaccines Against Emerging Infectious Agents

The development of vaccines that protect against more than one strain is critical to our defense against bio-warfare agents and emerging infectious diseases. Infection with several different strains may override the immunity triggered by a single vaccine, and pathogenic strains can develop in vaccinated individuals, making our current vaccines ineffective. We will discuss the development of a new generation of vaccines that confer a potent state of cross-protective immunity against a variety of infectious agents.
