Potential vaccine candidate databases | Immunology system data analysis

Vaccination is one of the most significant inventions in modern medicine. It has been used to dramatically improve human health. However, our efforts to develop vaccines to protect against many diseases have not been successful. For example, the infectious diseases AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria are three of the top five threats to human health, but there is not an effective and safe vaccine available against any of these diseases. Vaccines can also be developed against many noninfectious diseases, including cancer, allergy and autoimmune diseases.

VIOLIN / Vaccine Investigation and OnLine Information Network

Curates, stores, analyses and integrates various vaccine-associated research data. VIOLIN is a web-based vaccine database and analysis system. It includes licensed vaccines, vaccines being tested in clinical trials and vaccines that have been studied in research and experimentally verified effective in at least one laboratory animal model and the data collected for each vaccine covers vaccine components, protection efficacy and host immune responses. VIOLIN also contains specific software programs such as several for vaccine literature mining and vaccine design.
