Sporozoite transcriptome
Jonathan Weitzman ((jonathanweitzman@hotmail.com) | Aug 8, 2001 | 1 min read
The protozoan parasite Plasmodium causes malaria, the most serious parasitic disease in humans. The identification of proteins expressed at the infectious sporozoite stage is important for the selection of potential vaccine candidates. In the August 14 Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Stefan Kappe and colleagues from the New York University School of Medicine describe attempts to characterize the sporozoite transcriptome (Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 2001, 98:9895-9900).They construct
Human Clinical Trials Begin For Cervical Cancer Vaccines
Steve Bunk | Oct 26, 1997 | 6 min read
Efforts are under way to develop a vaccine against one of the world's deadliest illnesses, cervical cancer. Along with a number of university research laboratories, at least a half-dozen biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies are beginning clinical trials or are in preclinical development of such drugs. Efficacy in humans remains to be firmly established, but if the vaccines progress to later-phase trials, challenging jobs for immunologists, microbiologists, and biochemists will multiply. "

Stopping Ebola in Its Tracks Richard Preston brought the threat of emerging infectious diseases to the consciousness of his readers in The Hot Zone. The book graphically describes how the Ebola virus causes massive internal bleeding, which kills up to 90 percent of the people it infects. Now National Institutes of Health scientists are making promising advances to stop disease spread. Researchers have identified a viral protein that destroys endothelial cells, the cells that line the blood vess
