Guest guest Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 Before you get your hopes up, you should realize that the vaccine has only been used on mice, so far, as of December 2006. The authors have not published any new developments on the vaccine since then (I Googled it). I will soon post a long research article, by the same researchers, (free on the internet) of an earlier published report on this vaccine. The full research article of the below abstract, costs $70 (which I don't have). I will post the link to the below abstract, at the end of the abstract. Its highly unlikely that any vaccine would be of any use to any of us, who already suffer from toxic mold reactions. But, it could change the world, like the polio vaccine did, once OUR EPIDEMIC is acknowledged by the world. Joe ...................................................................... Opportunistic fungi and fungal infections: the challenge of a single, general antifungal vaccine Authors: Cassone, ; Torosantucci, Antonella Source: Expert Review of Vaccines, Volume 5, Number 6, December 2006 , pp. 859-867(9) Abstract: A vaccine made up by an algal â-glucan (laminarin), conjugated with a protein component, protects against infections by different fungi and induces antibodies capable of inhibiting fungal growth. Although taking a premium on a common molecular theme, this remains a sort of `cross-kingdom' vaccine because the immunizing antigen and the vaccination target belong to organisms from two different kingdoms and this is certainly the first case in the field of human vaccines. Thus, it is possible to convey in a single immunological tool the potential to protect against multiple infections, in theory all those caused by â-glucan-expressing fungi. The generation of antibodies with the potential to directly inhibit the growth of, or kill the fungal cells also opens an exciting perspective for both active and passive vaccination in immunocompromised subjects.
