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)
Studies affirm need for influenza and measles vaccinations in HIV-infected patients
Two new studies emphasize the importance of delivering measles and influenza vaccines to HIV-infected individuals. Both studies are published in the August 1 issue of The Journal of Infectious Diseases, now available online. view more (2007-07-24)
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)
Princeton team's analysis of flu virus could lead to better vaccines
A team of Princeton University scientists may have found a better way to make a vaccine against the flu virus. view more (2009-05-13)
Secrets to antibody's success against West Nile Virus surprise scientists
A monoclonal antibody that can effectively treat mice infected with West Nile virus has an intriguing secret: Contrary to scientists' expectations, it does not block the virus's ability to attach to host cells. view more (2005-09-29)
Yale study offers insight into possible cause of lymphoma
The immune system's powerful cellular mutation and repair processes appear to offer important clues as to how lymphatic cancer develops, Yale School of Medicine researchers report this week in Nature. view more (2008-02-15)
Antibody therapy promising for pediatric neuroblastoma
A new strategy that turns small populations of immune system cells into armies that track down and kill neuroblastoma throughout the body could save the lives of many children each year. view more (2005-12-21)
Growth-factor antibody may treat chronic lung disease affecting premature infants
Researchers from Massachusetts General Hospital, in collaboration with scientists from the Genzyme Corporation, have identified a potential treatment for a chronic lung disease affecting premature infants. view more (2007-04-03)
Coffee, black, decaf and a little llama on the side
Three llamas and two camels have provided a way to tell whether your waiter swapped regular coffee for decaf in your after-dinner cup. view more (2006-05-12)
Antibody signal may redirect inflammation to fuel cancer
As evidence mounts that the body's normally protective inflammation response can drive some precancerous tissues to become fully malignant, UCSF scientists report discovering an apparent trigger to this potentially deadly process. view more (2007-02-20)
Shedding light on cancer cells
Scientists label cells with coloured or glowing chemicals to observe how basic cellular activities differ between healthy and cancerous cells. Existing techniques for labelling cells are either too slow or too toxic to perform on live cells. view more (2009-09-25)
PET imaging identifies aggressive kidney cancers that require surgery
The ability to identify an individual's specific tumor type prior to surgery could have important implications for the management of patients diagnosed with kidney cancer. view more (2007-03-07)
Caltech biologists spy on the secret inner life of a cell
The transportation of antibodies from a mother to her newborn child is vital for the development of that child's nascent immune system. view more (2008-10-13)
Detection Of Antibodies Could Identify MS Patients Who Do Not Respond Well To Interferon Beta (P1184)
Danish research published in this week's issue of THE LANCET highlights how the detection of antibodies to interferon beta-the first choice treatment for multiple sclerosis patients-could be important in identifying patients who do not respond well to interferon beta, with implications for the provision of alternative drug therapy. Interferon beta... view more... (2003-10-08)
Home testing kit could help identify 'hidden' caffeine in beverages
If you've ever wondered whether your favorite coffee, tea or soda contains caffeine - despite its decaf label or the absence of caffeine on the ingredient list - then you may soon be able to test the beverage yourself. view more (2006-05-11)
Unexpected finding opens up new way to stop autoimmune diseases and transplant rejection
After several years of battling recurring infections, the last thing a patient and her doctors ever expected was that the cause of her problems might actually help millions live longer, more active lives. view more (2009-01-23)
Measles Vaccinations Need to be Repeated to Protect HIV-Infected Children
HIV-infected children may require repeat measles vaccination for protection, according to new research from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and other institutions. view more (2007-07-18)
A quicker, cheaper SARS virus detector -- one easily customizable for other targets
Members of a USC-led research team say they've made a big improvement in a new breed of electronic detectors for viruses and other biological materials - one that may be a valuable addition to the battle against epidemics. view more (2009-05-29)
Vaccine/antibody therapy effective, milder side effects in melanoma and ovarian cancer
One of the shortcomings of a therapy that uses millions of identical antibodies to boost the immune system's attack on cancer cells is that many patients whose tumors recede in response to the treatment also experience serious inflammatory problems, such as severe diarrhea and rashes. view more (2008-02-19)
Defective gene linked to two inherited immune deficiencies
Defects in a single gene can result in two immune system disorders that leave affected individuals vulnerable to frequent or unusually severe infections, according to new findings reported in the August issue of Nature Genetics. view more (2005-08-08)
