This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) provides $228,195 to Wake Forest University Health Sciences (WFUHS) to conduct research on regulating the immune response to an influenza vaccine using prolonged antigen delivery in young infants. The goal is to understand how antigen duration and vaccine construct can modulate the infant B and T cell response to influenza vaccination, with the aim of developing more effective vaccine approaches for this at-risk population. The award, with a project period from March 2025 to February 2027, will explore a novel prolonged antigen delivery method that was found to significantly increase antibody levels in infant mice compared to a standard bolus vaccine dose. The research seeks to provide mechanistic insights that can inform the rational design of influenza vaccines for young infants.
