A new study provides evidence on when OAS occurs and how it impacts seasonal vaccines and booster shots. The findings suggest that boosting against a new strain can be effective if the new strain is sufficiently different from the previous one.
A study in mice found that recalling 'old' antibodies does not compromise the response against new flu strains. In fact, some 'original antigenic sin' antibodies are highly effective at protecting against secondary encounters with antigenically drifted viral strains.
William Vanooij, a renowned engineering professor and entrepreneur, has earned the first Ohio Patent Award for his work on silane surface treatments that enhance corrosion protection of metals. His patented technology has led to the development of special radial tires with improved performance.
The Sistema Interamericano de Metrologia (SIM) network enables faster time comparisons between countries, allowing small nations to evaluate their measurements against world standards. National metrology institutes in member OAS nations participate in the network, which currently compares times between Brazil, Canada, Mexico, and the US.
