Reducing The Toxicity Of Vaccines Making Smaller Doses More Effective

[Guest guest]

So, are they trying to mimic homeopathy (they have for centuries with their

vaccine stuff)

We already know small is better but NOT in this way and NOT for this reason.

They should just give up and turn to hmeopathy

They have NO clue what they are doing in these systems that they have no

clue about.

They are some pompous and know-it-all but this is the intricate web of life

and you can't play around with it as they do.

Such hubris.

Reducing The Toxicity Of Vaccines Making Smaller Doses More Effective

Category: Immune System/Vaccines News

Article Date: 30 Dec 2005

Researchers have demonstrated a technique that has the potential to reduce

the toxicity of vaccines and to make smaller doses more effective, according

to a study published in PLoS Pathogens.

Developing vaccines is fraught with challenges, particularly because many

candidates carry a high risk of toxic side effects. For example, twenty

percent of people immunized against smallpox will suffer side effects.

Wilfred Jefferies, a researcher at the University of British Columbia and

senior author of the study, and his colleagues have shown that boosting the

production of TAP, an immune system component, can make smaller doses of

vaccines more effective.

Smaller vaccine doses would mean reduced side effects and the capacity to

immunize more people with less material. " As the approach we have discovered

appears to augment immune responses for different pathogens and is not

limited to the genetics of the host we vaccinate, this new approach could

have far reaching benefits in the field of vaccines, " Jefferies said.

Vaccines capitalize on normal immune responses. Viral infections are

naturally detected with the aid of special molecules called the major

histocompatibility complex (MHC), which alert immune system cells to destroy

infected cells. If the same virus infects again, the system is primed and

ready to respond more quickly. Vaccines, which are created from

disease-causing viruses (or their relatives), provide a harmless first

exposure so that future infections are thwarted before they become lethal.

In this study, Jefferies and his colleagues vaccinated mice against the

viral relatives of rabies and measles viruses and simultaneously induced the

overproduction of one component already part of the immune system, called

TAP, which enhances MHC activity. Subsequently, specific " destroyer " cells

increased fourfold, compared with traditional vaccination. Since these cells

help initiate immunity, the group recognized that they were an important

piece of the puzzle, according to Jefferies.

" The pathway works like a machine or factory where increasing the efficiency

of one component part can lead to a massive increase in functional output, "

he said.

Next, using varying doses, the team vaccinated mice against a relative of

the smallpox virus. Mice immunized with just one-hundredth the standard dose

and induced to overproduce TAP were still able to survive an otherwise

lethal viral infection.

" We were surprised that over-expression of TAP would have such a great

effect because it implies that it is in limiting amounts normally or is

inefficient normally, " Jefferies said. " Combining viral antigens with a gene

that is involved in their processing appears to be a solution to increasing

the efficacy of vaccines in general. "
