Measles Virus Vaccine - Creative Biolabs

Measles, also called rubeola, is one of the most contagious diseases caused by the measles virus (MeV) which is a single-stranded, negative-sense, non-segmented RNA virus of the family Paramyxoviridae. The virus is mainly spread by respiratory droplets over short distances and only a small amount of virus is required to produce the infection. The initial symptoms of measles are fever, runny nose, cough, and pathognomonic enanthem followed by a characteristic erythematous, maculopapular rash. Complications occur in up to one-third of people and may include diarrhea, blindness, inflammation of the brain, and pneumonia because the MeV affects a person’s immune system, making them more vulnerable to other infections. Vaccination against the measles could result in a 75% decrease in deaths from measles.

MMR Vaccine

A live vaccine is available in the combination of measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR), which are three very dangerous infectious diseases causing severe morbidity, disability, and death in low-income countries. MMR vaccine generally requires two doses and is very safe and effective. The first dose is given at 12 through 15 months of age to avoid the interaction with maternal anti MeV antibodies that may prevent the vaccine viruses from being effective for about 93%. The second dose is about 97% effective and usually given to children between the ages of four and five, to increase rates of immunity. Moreover, teens and adults should be up to date on their MMR vaccination.

MMRV Vaccine

Another commercial vaccine which protects against measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella (MMRV) can be obtained. It is only allowed for children between 12 months and 12 years old. After vaccination, most children will never have to endure the misery of these diseases or their potentially serious complications. MMRV vaccine is very safe and effective and there are no known risks to getting MMRV vaccine at the same time as other vaccines. It is proven that to get vaccinated with MMRV vaccine is much safer than getting any one of the four vaccines.

Other Novel Vaccines against MeV

In addition to MMR and MMRV vaccines, there are some novel vaccines under development. Needle-free MeV vaccine was developed and gives a new mode of administration of the vaccine by aerosol inhalation, which can avoid the limitations of live-attenuated MV vaccines, including dependency on maintaining the cold-chain, requirement for trained health-care workers and the need for sterile hypodermic needles and concomitant safe waste disposal. Due to the rapid development of reverse genetics technologies, the rescue of non-segmented negative-strand RNA viruses from cDNA enabled. Therefore, rescue of MeV from cloned DNA provides the possibility of a vaccine development. Moreover, multivalent recombinant and chimeric vaccine candidates were also had a continuous concern. For example, recombinant MeVs expressing single or multiple genes of HIV in two distant MV vaccine backbones and different HIV-gene inserts, induced significant immune responses against the vector (MeV) and the inserted antigens upon immunization of transgenic mice. All of these vaccines offer more possibilities on the road to fighting measles.
