A simplified method of giving rabies vaccine
A simplified economical method of giving rabies vaccine is just as effective as the expensive standard vaccine regimen at stimulating anti-rabies antibodies. view more (2008-04-23)
Ancient antibody molecule offers clues to how humans evolved allergies
Scientists funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) have discovered how evolution may have lumbered humans with allergy problems. view more (2008-06-13)
SARS Reviewed (p 1730)
Authors from WHO describe the emergence of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) in a Public Health article in this week's issue of THE LANCET. SARS is a new disease in human beings, first recognised in late February, 2003, in Hanoi, Vietnam. The severity of the disease, combined with its rapid spread along international air-travel routes,... view more... (2003-05-14)
Painkillers may threaten power of vaccines
With flu-shot season in full swing and widespread anticipation of the HPV vaccine to prevent cervical cancer, a new University of Rochester study suggests that using common painkillers around the time of vaccination might not be a good idea. view more (2006-11-29)
Protein complementarity may offer new insights into autoimmune diseases
The discovery of "complementary" antibodies against plasminogen in patients with blood vessel inflammation caused by anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibodies (ANCAs) may lead to new approaches to research, testing, and treatment of ANCA vasculitis and other autoimmune diseases, suggests a paper in the December Journal of the American... view more...

Early promising results in malaria vaccine trial in Mali
A small clinical trial conducted by an international team of researchers in Mali has found that a candidate malaria vaccine was safe and elicited strong immune responses in the 40 Malian adults who received it. view more (2008-01-23)
How HIV vaccine might have increased odds of infection
In September 2007, a phase II HIV-1 vaccine trial was abruptly halted when researchers found that the vaccine may have promoted, rather than prevented, HIV infection. view more (2008-11-03)
First production of human monoclonal antibodies in chicken eggs published in Nature Biotechnology
Origen Therapeutics today announced the first published scientific report of fully functional, human sequence monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) produced in chickens. The antibodies were expressed solely in the chicken oviduct and deposited into egg white in concentrations of 1-3 milligrams per egg. view more (2005-08-29)
Scripps research scientists engineer new type of vaccination that provides instant immunity
The experiments, thus far performed only in mice, appear to overcome a major drawback of vaccinations - the lag time of days, or even weeks, that it normally takes for immunity to build against a pathogen. view more (2009-03-03)
Producing medicines in plant seeds
Using plants to produce useful proteins could be an inexpensive alternative to current medicine production methods. Researchers from the Flanders Interuniversity Institute for Biotechnology (VIB) at Ghent University have succeeded in producing in plant seeds proteins that have a very strong resemblance to antibodies. view more (2007-01-17)
Infectious disease researchers develop basis for experimental melanoma treatment
While investigating a fungus known to cause an infection in people with AIDS, two grantees of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), unexpectedly discovered a potential strategy for treating metastatic melanoma, one of the deadliest forms of skin cancer. view more (2006-12-08)
New study finds antibiotic vancomycin may trigger dangerously low platelet count
The antibiotic vancomycin often used in intensive care units is considered the drug of choice for the treatment of staphylococci (staph) infections that are resistant to most other antibiotics. view more (2007-03-01)
EXPOSURE TO CATS CAN INDUCE ASTHMA TOLERANCE (p 752)
Children exposed to cat allergens at home can produce an immune response without developing asthma, report authors of a study in this week’s issue of THE LANCET. However, in some children, exposure to cat allergens remains the highest single risk factor for asthma. Although asthma is strongly associated with immediate hypersensitivity to... view more...

Blood-clotting protein modified for people with hard-to-treat hemophilia
Pathologists at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston have developed a chemically modified protein that may help people with a hard-to-treat form of a genetic bleeding disorder known as Hemophilia A. view more (2008-05-20)
What is the influence of tumor removal on the serum level of carbohydrate's antibody?
Cancer immune surveillance is considered to be important in the anti-tumor protection of the host. The growing tumor escapes the immune control under the immunosuppressive conditions. view more (2008-10-08)
UGA study reveals a new way of looking at vaccine development
University of Georgia researchers have given vaccine developers a new tool that could lead to the development of designer vaccines that protect against a wider range of diseases or work against diseases that are currently hard to prevent. view more (2006-05-23)
Novel DNA vaccine leads to kidney damage prevention in systemic lupus erythematosus models
DNA vaccination using lupus autoantigens and interleukin-10 (IL-10, a cytokine that plays an important role in regulating the immune system) has potential as a novel therapy to induce antigen specific tolerance and may help to prevent kidney damage in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). view more (2009-06-12)
Researchers from the University of Navarra analyze new kinds of cancer-fighting antibodies
Two researchers from the University Hospital and the Center for Applied Medical Research (CIMA) from the University of Navarra have published an article in Nature Cancer Reviews, one of the leading scientific journals in the area of cancer studies. view more (2007-03-07)
Einstein scientists treat cancer as an infectious disease -- with promising results
Researchers at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University have shown for the first time that cancers can be successfully treated by targeting the viruses that cause them. view more (2007-10-31)
LIAI scientists make major finding on potential smallpox treatment
Researchers at the La Jolla Institute for Allergy & Immunology (LIAI) have made a major advancement toward protecting society against a smallpox outbreak by identifying an antibody in humans that quickly fights the smallpox virus. view more (2005-09-14)
