Arming the Immune System against H1N1 Researchers are working to treat pandemic flu by recruiting a patient's own immune cells. Delivering a Virus Imposter Quicker With H1N1 vaccine supplies delayed, attention turns to faster-to-make "virus-like particles." As new influenza strains emerge, researchers struggle to speed vaccine development. Toward a Universal Flu Vaccine A company is preparing human trials of a DNA-based, universal influenza vaccine. Fighting Stomach Flu with Tobacco Scientists look to tobacco plants for a norovirus vaccine. A new approach to preventing cancer teaches the immune system to seek and destroy emerging tumors. A new approach protects monkeys from a virus that closely resembles HIV. Scientists are exploring faster approaches to making vaccines against the H1N1 virus. A diverse group of antibodies may work together to neutralize the virus, suggesting a new approach to vaccination. A Vaccine Offers Instant Immunity A new approach primes antibodies to instantly attack cancers, HIV, and other diseases. A broad-acting vaccine might be key. A team of Swiss researchers has designed a vaccine that lowers blood pressure. Researchers have engineered rice to serve as a needle-free vaccine for cholera. Therapies that block the high of addictive drugs are finally making their way from the lab into reality. A novel type of vaccine could be rapidly designed for a specific flu strain and then quickly manufactured. [1]
