Administration of two doses of BCG with a duration of four weeks apart can normalize the blood sugar levels for up to eight years. Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) is a protein that eliminates improper immune cells that destroy pancreatic islets, involved in immune production. But the administration of BCG can ultimately regulate T cells and boost TNF production.
In phase 2b clinical trial work, FLU-v met its goal of boosting T-cell immune response at 42 days and 180 days after vaccination. The infection rate came down by meeting a secondary endpoint of boosting antibodies in vaccinated patients. Thus, this single adjuvant dose is considered as the "most immunological and efficient."
A research team from the University of Ottawa in Canada revealed a safe and inexpensive treatment by employing Viagra and flu vaccines that might stop cancer revival. Tadalafil (Cialis), sildenafil (Viagra) in combination with Agriflu were used in the research work.
A research team from MIT’s Koch Institute for Integrative Cancer Research in Cambridge, US discovered a novel one-shot nano polio vaccine to eradicate polio. The inactivated polio vaccine was encapsulated in a biodegradable polymer named as PLGA.
As the Democratic Republic of Congo deals with a rising death toll owing to the latest outbreak of Ebola, health officials are moving fast to counter the fatal effects of the deadly virus. Plans are afoot to implement the experimental vaccine developed by Merck & Co to confront the overwhelming challenges posed by the virus.
Researchers at the Perelman School of Medicine and the Abramson Cancer Center, at the University of Pennsylvania, developed the vaccine using dendritic cells (DCs) derived from each patient's own peripheral blood mononuclear cells. These dendritic cells were then exposed to the patient's tumor cells, activated with interferon gamma, and injected into the patient's lymph nodes.
Expansion Includes the Joint Development of Moderna’s KRAS Oncogene Program and Other Potential mRNA Cancer Vaccines; Merck to Make Equity Investment in Moderna
After a strong 2017, Sanofi Pasteur got off to a less-than-stellar start this year. In China, inspectors put a temporary kibosh on imports of the pediatric shot Pentaxim, thanks to vaccine batches that failed to pass inspection. That move hobbled the shot's sales—and dragged the rest of the unit down, too.
Developing specialty vaccines for emerging and overlooked infectious diseases is a challenging and rewarding enterprise with specific opportunities and problems. Large companies have not historically prioritized this area and instead have focused on the development and commercialization of routine vaccines and vaccines for diseases with more significant global markets.
Researchers from Cardiff University have created the world’s first synthetic, non-biologic vaccine.
