Ferric quinate (QPLEX) interacts with the major outer membrane protein (MOMP) of Campylobacter jejuni and enters through the porin channel into the periplasmic space (2022)
Journal Article
Okoye, J. C., Bellamy-Carter, J., Oldham, N. J., Oldfield, N. J., Mahdavi, J., & Soultanas, P. (2022). Ferric quinate (QPLEX) interacts with the major outer membrane protein (MOMP) of Campylobacter jejuni and enters through the porin channel into the periplasmic space. Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, 20, 5355-5363. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.csbj.2022.09.032

Ferric chelates like ferric tyrosinate (TYPLEX) and the closely related ferric quinate (QPLEX) are structural mimics of bacterial siderophores. TYPLEX has been trialled as a feed additive in farming of commercial broilers, reducing Campylobacter load...

Impact of meningococcal ACWY conjugate vaccines on pharyngeal carriage in adolescents: evidence for herd protection from the UK MenACWY programme (2022)
Journal Article
Carr, J. P., MacLennan, J. M., Plested, E., Bratcher, H. B., Harrison, O. B., Aley, P. K., …Duale, K. (2022). Impact of meningococcal ACWY conjugate vaccines on pharyngeal carriage in adolescents: evidence for herd protection from the UK MenACWY programme. Clinical Microbiology and Infection, 28(12), 1649.e1-1649.e8. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cmi.2022.07.004

Objective: Serogroup W and Y invasive meningococcal disease increased globally from 2000 onwards. Responding to a rapid increase in serogroup W clonal complex 11 (W:cc11) invasive meningococcal disease, the UK replaced an adolescent booster dose of m...

Effect of priming interval on reactogenicity, peak immunological response, and waning after homologous and heterologous COVID-19 vaccine schedules: exploratory analyses of Com-COV, a randomised control trial (2022)
Journal Article
Shaw, R. H., Liu, X., Stuart, A. S. V., Greenland, M., Aley, P. K., Andrews, N. J., …Okenyi, E. (2022). Effect of priming interval on reactogenicity, peak immunological response, and waning after homologous and heterologous COVID-19 vaccine schedules: exploratory analyses of Com-COV, a randomised control trial. Lancet Respiratory Medicine, 10(11), 1049-1060. https://doi.org/10.1016/S2213-2600%2822%2900163-1

Background: Priming COVID-19 vaccine schedules have been deployed at variable intervals globally, which might influence immune persistence and the relative importance of third-dose booster programmes. Here, we report exploratory analyses from the Com...
