FONDAMENTAL QUESTIONS AND NEW HOPES FOR VACCINATION
1- Vaccination for whom?
Defining the target population
History of infection and multiplicity of vaccination
Other diseases in the population
2- What type of immunity ?
Defining the correlates of protection
differs depending of the pathogens
Intensity
CD4
T cells
Quality
3- How?
Adapting the route of immunization

Skin, Mucosa sites

FROM HUMANIZED MICE TO CLINICAL TRIALS
“tailor-cut” immunization strategies could be proposed for
infectious diseases:
HIV, Malaria, Tuberculosis, emerging diseases and cancer
EU-FP7 large-scale coordination : CUT’HIVAC project 2010-2014

PERSPECTIVES
Alternative methods of vaccination against infectious diseases to
increase vaccine efficacy and allow a “tailor-cut” immune response
Understanding skin immunological role for initiation and
maintenance of immunity to infectious diseases
Translation of basic research using innovative preclinical models
into clinical trials
5 Phase I/II/IIa clinical trials are planned for 2011-2014:
o Preventive and therapeutic HIV vaccine (3 trials): DNA-GTU®
technology (FIT-Biotech) by TC, ID, IM or combined routes
o Influenza vaccination in adults and in elderly (2 trials) : trivalent
influenza vaccine by TC, ID and IM routes
