Good bacteria can be EZ Pass for oral vaccine against anthrax
Researchers at North Carolina State University have discovered that the good bacteria found in dairy products and linked to positive health benefits in the human body might also be an effective vehicle for an oral vaccine that can provide immunity to anthrax exposure. view more (2009-02-17)
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)
Innovative method for creating a human cytomegalovirus vaccine outlined
Each year, about 40,000 children are born infected with human cytomegalovirus, or CMV, and about 8,000 of these children suffer permanent disabilities due to the virus - almost one an hour. view more (2006-08-01)
Most UK citizens susceptible to hepatitis B infection
The failure of the UK to introduce universal hepatitis B immunisation means that most UK citizens are susceptible to infection, warns an infectious diseases expert in this week's BMJ. view more (2007-11-12)
Researchers train the immune system to deliver virus that destroys cancer in lab models
An international team of researchers led by Mayo Clinic have designed a technique that uses the body's own cells and a virus to destroy cancer cells that spread from primary tumors to other parts of the body through the lymphatic system. view more (2007-12-19)
Benefits of flu vaccine substantially overestimated says study
Studies of influenza vaccine effectiveness in elderly people substantially overestimate vaccine benefits, according to new research from the US published today in the International Journal of Epidemiology (IJE), edited at the University of Bristol. view more (2005-12-21)
Novel antigen-cloning technique may boost efforts to develop a melanoma vaccine
In recent years, researchers have worked to develop a number of vaccines to help the immune system fight tumors. Cancer vaccines are not intended to prevent cancer; rather, they are used to boost immune responses to preexisting tumors. view more (2007-04-16)
Children in care less likely to get meningitis vaccine
Children looked after by local authorities are twice as unlikely to receive meningococcal C vaccine than children at home, concludes a study in this week's BMJ. Researchers identified the immunisation status of all children in nine health districts in the United Kingdom. Because universal childhood meningococcal C vaccination was introduced in... view more... (2003-02-12)
Study by Pittsburgh researchers identifies possible vaccine target for chlamydia
Scientists at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC have identified a potential target for the development of a vaccine against Chlamydia trachomatis, the most prevalent sexually transmitted bacterial infection in the world. view more (2007-09-13)
HIV-infected infants respond poorly to childhood vaccination
It is known that HIV-infected children who do not receive appropriate antiretroviral drugs experience immune depression, and may become susceptible to infectious diseases that would otherwise be prevented by childhood immunization. view more (2007-12-05)
To vaccinate or not to vaccinate? That is the question
Research linking the MMR vaccine to autism and bowel disorders is stopping children from being vaccinated because parents who value the findings of research are nine times less likely to allow their child to be vaccinated. view more (2004-08-23)
Vaccines help kick drug habits
A pair of new vaccines designed to combat cocaine and methamphetamine dependencies not only relieve addiction but also minimize withdrawal symptoms. view more (2007-06-25)
The release of new data from the HVTN 502 HIV vaccine study
The new analyses revealed today from the STEP HIV vaccine clinical trial are both disappointing and puzzling. At this time, the data offer no clear explanations as to why the vaccine showed no measurable efficacy or why among individuals with background immunity to the adenovirus vector, there were more HIV infections in the vaccinees as compared... view more...

How cow warts, clergy sex surveys moved along cancer vaccine
The creation of a successful vaccine against cervical cancer, approved today by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, is the culmination of research that occurred thanks not only to scientists and physicians, but also to generous farmers and veterinarians, priests and nuns willing to tell all — and some very patient cows. view more (2006-06-12)
Jefferson scientists find rabies-based vaccine could be effective against HIV
Rabies, a relentless, ancient scourge, may hold a key to defeating another implacable foe: HIV. Scientists at Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia have used a drastically weakened rabies virus to ferry HIV-related proteins into animals, in essence, vaccinating them against an AIDS-like disease. view more (2007-04-04)
Vaccine shows promise in preventing mono
A new study suggests that a vaccine targeting Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) may prevent infectious mononucleosis, commonly known as "mono" or "glandular fever." view more (2007-12-11)
Mayo Clinic article offers data about shingles virus
When a vaccine to prevent shingles was approved for use in 2006, the Food and Drug Administration recommended the vaccine for people age 60 and older who previously had chickenpox. view more (2007-12-13)
Researchers characterize potential protein targets for malaria vaccine
Researchers from Nijmegen and Leiden have now characterized a large number of parasite proteins that may prove useful in the development of a human malaria vaccine. view more (2008-10-31)
Flu shots not to be sneezed at
Two in five at-risk American adults who would benefit from vaccination against seasonal flu are missing out on the protective shots because they believe they do not need them and are not inclined to be vaccinated. view more (2009-10-23)
Global HIV Vaccine Enterprise Announces Strategic Plan
A Much-Needed Shot in the Arm for HIV Vaccine Development International efforts towards developing a vaccine against HIV infection have been given a much-needed boost by the publication today of the Global HIV/AIDS Vaccine Enterprise's scientific strategic plan, published online in the freely available, open-access global health journal PLoS... view more...
