Virus-mimic 'paves way for vaccine'

February 23, 2011

do you really think they know what they are doing - long term

effects? or even short term effects?

Virus-mimic 'paves way for vaccine'

(UKPA) – 6 hours ago

Artificial particles which resemble virus material could form the basis

of super-efficient vaccines, new research has suggested.

The nanoparticles have already been used to protect mice and monkeys

against flu.

Scientists now hope to develop hybrid natural-synthetic vaccines that can

prevent serious infections for a lifetime.

The experimental vaccine consists of a natural viral component, or

antigen, plus two tiny synthetic nanoparticles.

The artificial particles are designed to stimulate specific immune system

elements called toll-like receptors (TLRs).

TLRs sense molecules in viruses, bacteria and parasites and trigger

signalling pathways that activate immune responses.

Lead scientist Professor Bali Pulendran, from Emory University in

Atlanta, Georgia, US, said: " These particles could provide an

instant way to stretch scarce supplies when access to viral material is

limited, such as pandemic flu or during an emerging infection.

" In addition, there are many diseases, such as HIV, malaria,

tuberculosis and dengue, that still lack effective vaccines, where we

anticipate that this type of immunity enhancer could play a

role. "

The research, which has been reported in the journal Nature, stems from

work on the yellow fever vaccine, one of the most successful ever

developed.

One jab of live vaccine can protect against disease-causing versions of

the virus for decades.
