Uk armed forces in iraq: multiple vaccines not responsible for health problems

Immune System / Vaccines News From Medical News Today — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 07:00:00 +0100

Service personnel deployed to Iraq have not suffered ill health due to multiple vaccinations, according to a study released on July 1, 2008 in BMJ. Debate related to the impact that multiple vaccinations may have had on the health of veterans of the Gulf War will only be fueled by this new information. Before deployment to Iraq in 2003 and later, vaccines against tetanus, typhoid, and yellow fever are routinely administered to service personnel.

Yeast-based vaccine induces immune responses and reduces tumor size in mice

Immune System / Vaccines News From Medical News Today — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 09:00:00 +0100

Scientists have found that vaccination with a heat-killed, nontoxic yeast that is genetically engineered to manufacture a common tumor protein can induce specific and repeated anti-tumor immune responses in mice. Vaccination extends overall survival and reduces tumor size in mice that have been injected with cancer cells displaying the same protein that was engineered into the yeast.

Recent scientific findings explain why patients with a rare immunodeficiency disorder are unusually susceptible to certain common infections. By revealing the exact molecular mechanisms involved, they also give us clues as to why some 'healthy' people are more prone to these infections than others, and suggest potential treatments.
