T cells activated to fight HIV basis for dendritic cell therapeutic vaccine
Having their immune system cells go through a laboratory version of boot camp may help patients win their battle against HIV. view more (2006-08-14)
New culprit for viral infections among elderly -- an overactive immune response
Researchers at Yale School of Medicine have found that exaggerated responses of the immune system explain why the elderly succumb to viral infections more readily than younger people. view more (2009-11-19)
Two More Potential HIV Vaccines
Despite long-term researchers' efforts, efficient human immunodeficienct virus (HIV) vaccine has not been created yet. However, researchers are not giving up their attempts. Russian biologists are now proposing two more vaccine options based on DNA that encodes human immunodeficienct virus proteins. Experience proves that traditional ways of... view more... (2004-05-17)
New findings suggest strategy to help generate HIV-neutralizing antibodies
New discoveries about anti-HIV antibodies may bring researchers a step closer to creating an effective HIV vaccine, according to a new paper co-authored by scientists at the Vaccine Research Center of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health. view more (2009-11-20)
Viral oncoprotein inactivation of p53
A group of scientists led by USC researcher Dr. Xiaojiang Chen lend structural insight into tumor suppressor inactivation by a viral oncoprotein. view more (2006-09-01)
SSX, a new family of cancer vaccine targets
Scientists from the Cancer Vaccine Collaborative (CVC) have discovered that the cancer-specific protein, SSX-2, induces a spontaneous immunological reaction against cancer cells in melanoma patients, offering a new target for the development of a therapeutic melanoma vaccine. SSX-2 is the prototype of the SSX family, and is part of a larger group... view more... (2004-04-01)
Study finds genetic influence on pace of HIV/AIDS progression
Viral load-the amount of virus in the blood of an HIV-infected person-has long been viewed as the chief indicator of how quickly someone infected with HIV infection progresses to AIDS. view more (2007-10-23)
Plant-derived vaccines safeguard against deadly plague
Through an innovative feat of plant biotechnology and vaccine design, researchers in the Biodesign Institute at Arizona State University have successfully turned tobacco plants into vaccine production factories to combat the deadliest form of plague. view more (2006-01-10)
Gene expression profiling of dengue virus infection in cell lines and patients
Researchers at the Novartis Institute for Tropical Diseases and the Genome Institute of Singapore have identified new host genes associated with dengue virus infection, which may open new avenues to developing a drug to treat the disease. view more (2007-11-07)
HIV-1 : RECOMBINATION BETWEEN TWO STRAINSFROM WIDELY DISTANT GROUPS
Scientists have known for a long time that the AIDS virus is genotypically highly variable. Two main types of the virus exist: HIV-1 and HIV-2. HIV-1, the most widespread throughout the world, can be divided into three groups (M, N and O) each of which has different genetic characteristics. Within group M, which gathers together the most frequent... view more... (2000-03-09)
Rapid Diagnostic Test For Plague
An important step towards controlling bubonic and pneumonic plague may soon be possible with the use of a straightforward and accurate diagnostic test, according to authors of a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET. Plague is a flea-borne rodent disease that is occasionally transmitted to man, with around 3000-4000 cases annually in more than... view more... (2003-01-16)
Different type of colon cancer vaccine reduces disease spread, Jefferson scientists show
Taking advantage of the fact that the intestines have a separate immune system from the rest of the body, scientists at the Kimmel Cancer Center at Jefferson in Philadelphia have found a way to immunize mice against the development of metastatic disease. view more (2008-06-25)
UCR-led study identifies crucial mechanism involved in immune response against viruses
A research team led by UC Riverside scientists has shown that the common fruit fly can serve as an excellent model for studying the immunity animals are born with for fighting viral infections. view more (2006-03-24)
Don't be a stranger to yourself
One of the most important tasks of the immune system is to identify what is foreign and what is self. If this distinction fails, then the body's own structures will be attacked, the result of which could be an autoimmune disease such as diabetes mellitus type 1 or multiple sclerosis. view more (2009-03-16)
U-M study offers new perspective on nitric oxide signaling in rheumatoid arthritis
Scientists at the University of Michigan Medical School have found evidence that challenges current thinking about the cause of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), a chronic inflammatory disease that damages joints, causes pain, loss of movement, and bone deformities in 2.1 million Americans. view more (2006-10-31)
Why doesn't the immune system attack the small intestine?
Answering one of the oldest questions in human physiology, researchers at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute have discovered why the body's immune system-perpetually on guard against foreign microbes like bacteria - doesn't attack tissues in the small intestine that harbor millions of bacteria cells. view more (2007-01-10)
Awards of the Netherlands' greatest prize for science
The Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO) has granted the NWO/Spinoza Award 2002 to four leading Dutch research scientists. The Award is the highest Dutch prize for scientific achievement and carries a grant of EUR 1.5 million per recipient, to be spent on research of their own choice. The scientists are receiving this prestigious... view more... (2002-08-28)
AFRICAN HIV-1 EPIDEMIC NOT CAUSED BY MORE INFECTIOUS VIRAL SUBTYPE (p 1149)
The explosive HIV-1 epidemic in sub-Saharan Africa is unlikely to be the result of a viral subtype with increased infectivity, according to the results of a study published in this week’s issue of THE LANCET. The HIV-1 epidemic in eastern and southern sub-Saharan Africa is mainly caused by HIV-1 subtypes A, C, and D, whereas those in the USA... view more... (2001-04-11)
Bird flu leaves the nest -- adapting to a new host
Current research suggests that viral polymerase may provide a new therapeutic target for host-adapted avian influenza. view more (2009-08-27)
Bioportfolio: Life-long persistence of erythrovirus DNA genomes in human tissue
The researchers at the University of Helsinki, Finland, and University Hospital of Bonn, Germany, have coined the novel term "Bioportfolio" to describe viral genomic material remaining in the human body after infection. view more (2006-04-26)
