Novel Viral Vaccine and Molecular Immunology

Dear Colleagues,

Viral infections pose a serious threat to public health, and vaccines are the most effective and affordable measures to control them. New technologies and vaccines are being developed, including DNA vaccines, mRNA vaccines, multi-epitope vaccines, synthetic peptide vaccines, vaccines targeting dendritic cells, and mucosal vaccines. However, safety, effectiveness, controllability, and cost remain concerns, and the continuous mutation of viruses is an ongoing challenge. We welcome your latest research on developing novel technologies and vaccines against viral infections, including clinical trials, molecular immunology, and new strategies. Research areas include designing and evaluating vaccines, developing universal vaccines, identifying immunogen targets of viruses, developing new tools for predicting antigens and their application and studying the immune mechanism of vaccines, especially mucosal vaccines.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Vaccines is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
