No subjects with high pre-existing anti-Ad5 neutralizing antibodies were protected but the association was not statistically significant. Flow cytometry identified predominant IFN-γ mono-secreting CD8+ T cell responses in three protected subjects. ELISpot responses to AMA1 were significantly associated with protection (p = 0.019). Ex vivo IFN-γ ELISpot responses after Ad boost were modest (CSP geometric mean spot forming cells/million peripheral blood mononuclear cells 86, range 13-408 AMA1 348, range 88-1270) and were highest in three protected subjects.

Antibody responses by ELISA rose after Ad boost but were low (CSP geometric mean titer 210, range 44-817 AMA1 geometric mean micrograms/milliliter 11.9, range 1.5-102) and were not associated with protection. falciparum sporozoites by mosquito bite, and four (27%) were sterilely protected. Four weeks after the Ad boost, 15 study subjects were challenged with P. Only one AE (diarrhea), possibly related to immunization, was severe (Grade 3), preventing daily activities. The regimen was safe and well-tolerated, with mostly mild adverse events that occurred at the site of injection. falciparum circumsporozoite protein (CSP) and apical membrane antigen-1 (AMA1). The constructs encoded genes expressing P.

The vaccine regimen was three monthly doses of two DNA plasmids (DNA) followed four months later by a single boost with two non-replicating human serotype 5 adenovirus vectors (Ad).
LISA BANANIA TRIAL
We tested a DNA prime/adenovirus boost malaria vaccine in a Phase 1 clinical trial with controlled human malaria infection. Does not ship to Canada.Gene-based vaccination using prime/boost regimens protects animals and humans against malaria, inducing cell-mediated responses that in animal models target liver stage malaria parasites. This will be packed and shipped by FedEx and will require a signature for delivery. Ships alone for $70, which includes insurance and a tracking number. The doll piece is a total 22.5" tall, and 4.5" deep. It is really difficult to photograph the pieces. "When they buy our work, they're buying a piece of history, as well as a signed work of art." Their clients include art galleries, small gift shops, home furnishing stores, lighting shops and Bergdorf Goodman.Ĭandlesticks and doll totems are seriously one-of-a-kind.Ĭollectors of Bill and Marcia Finks will already have an idea of what to expect. "When we tell people about how a piece includes a doll head made in Germany in 1895, they catch our enthusiasm," says Finks. The pieces are made from salvaged materials from old tins, antique doll parts, and assorted vintage objet d'art. Their work can be found in Anthropologie and Bergdorf Goodmanâs stores as well as Sundance and Uncommon Goods catalogs.

In 2007, their work and home were featured in Home Magazine. Their work has been featured on TV, in magazines and international publications. Since 1990 when Bill and Marcia founded Primitive Twig, their whimsical metal designs have found their way to the walls of collectors all across North America.
