Unique vaccine enhancer can save lives
Scientists have after six years of Labor sparkling developed a technique in which a yeast-produced protein is mixed with the vaccine makes the vaccination syringe more accurate.
The vaccine can simply easier that part of the immune system where it does the most good, which means that a smaller dose of vaccine is needed and for diseases which currently requires multiple injections to be immune, it may instead simply be a syringe.
- You get a more effective vaccine so that a certain amount of vaccine is sufficient for many people, says Magnus Sj?blom, a researcher in biochemistry and process engineering at Lule? University.
If you think about third world, people are often not able to come back and get a repeat vaccination. Therefore, it could provide large footprint, for example, malaria and turbekolos on the efficiency of vaccination.
Vaccine amplifier can be combined with all types of vaccines and has so far been tested on mice.
- Yes, they have shown that we have a very much stronger immune response when you have used this vaccine amplifier, says Magnus Sj?blom.
Tests have also shown that the vaccine amplifier could make cancer vaccination more successful in the future. This is because it proved to be exceptionally good at activating them parts of the immune system to protect against the cancer cells spread.
- It has been shown that the adjuvant or the vaccine enhancer as we have done it is very effective in activating this type of cells. So it's really exciting in terms of cancer vaccines, says Magnus Sj?blom.
Have you done this in mice, then?
- Yes, it is in mice, he says.
The next step is to test the vaccine amplifier in clinical trials and Magnus Sj?blom believe that the probability that it will work equally well for people is great. This, given the similarities between human and mouse immune systems.
There is already a few vaccine enhancer on the market today, but when the researchers compared the one of them commonly containing aluminum salts, with the new vaccine amplifier, gave the new homing Swedish yeast protein is a much better result.
- A stronger and more reliable vaccination, says Magnus Sj?blom.
When is it realistic to believe that this technique may be on existing vaccines?
- I'd say ten years. It takes time with all investigations should be done, he says.
The research findings will be published in the medical journal Vaccine shortly.
