Bird Flu Vaccines Lose Their Strength

Article Date: 20 Nov 2006 - 14:00pm (PST)
The initial doses of bird flu vaccines that were stockpiled by US authorities are less effective now - they lose their strength over time. As the vaccines have a shorter 'shelf-life' than was first expected, it is possible that the US stockpile would now cover one million fewer people than previously thought.

In other words - as the vaccines have a shorter shelf-life than we had previously thought, many of the first ones that were bought may now not be so good.
(Shelf life = How long a drug can be kept/stored before it has to be thrown away. A bit like 'expiry date' on foods. If a drug has a two-year shelf life and was made on 1 January, 2007, it must be discarded by the end of 2008.)

Authorities may have to re-think their contingency plans. It was first thought that by having large stocks of H5N1 vaccines, a nation would be better prepared against a possible pandemic by vaccinating health workers, key personnel and other high-risk groups.

Article continues below and (thank you)

 
Even so, authorities stressed that the loss of strength is gradual, not total. It does not mean that the strength of the oldest vaccines in stock have gone down from 100 to zero.

Novartis Wins Contract To Top Up USA H5N1 Vaccine Stockpile

Novartis has been awarded a $40.95 million contract to top up the USA's bird flu vaccine stockpile. US authorities aim to have enough vaccines to cover 20 million people. Last year Novartis was awarded a $62.5 million contract.

The pre-pandemic egg-based vaccine will be manufactured by Novartis in 2007 in Liverpool, UK.

Stem Cells May Trigger Tumors


As well as bringing hope to millions of people around the world because of their potential to cure diseases, stem cells may also be causing tumors, say researchers from Canada and Italy. In two separate studies, scientists discovered that colon (cancer) stem cells were causing colon cancer tumors in mice. The researchers say cancer treatments will have to target cancer stem cells.

You can read about this study in Nature.

John Dick, team leader, University Health Network, Toronto, Canada, said that from a genetic perspective colon cancer is one of the best understood tumors. However, it is still the second most common cause of deaths from cancer in his country. He explains that this indicates that colon cancer cells are not destroyed by current therapies.

In the Canadian study, immune system deficient mice were implanted with human colon cancer cells. Only those cells with CD133 on their surface managed to trigger new tumors (CD133 is a kind of protein).

In the Italian study, at the Istituto Superiore di Sanita in Rome, scientists injected immune system deficient mice under the skin with cells coated with CD133. They also found these cells triggered tumors.

This means that a tiny number of colon cancer cells can trigger a tumor. Most tumors are not initiated in this way. Drugs designed to target just those cells may be more effective, suggest the scientists.
