Abstract

Vaccines have revolutionized modern medicine by protecting individuals through immune responses. However, differences in immune mechanisms across species, particularly between humans and animal models, pose challenges in translating preclinical findings to human applications. Using RNAseq and microarray data from different studies, this project aims to analyze the bridge in vaccine-induced gene expression patterns between humans and mice. Utilizing the COVID-19 Vaccination Atlas and the 13 Vaccines Atlas, we aim to identify conserved and species-specific immune pathways through differential expression analysis, meta-analysis, and machine learning modeling to translate interspecies immune responses. We expect to uncover biomarkers for vaccine efficacy, highlight the translational limitations of mouse models, and inform the design of next-generation vaccines. Results will be integrated into an interactive platform for comparative analysis, offering insights into immune mechanisms in vaccination and guiding vaccine development for diverse populations.
