Penelitian untuk menjaga kesehatan manusia begini, sekarang ini, boleh dibilang
hanya dibikin orang-orang kafir...
Sementara orang Islam sibuk zikir, ngurusin haram halal atau bikin onar dan
saling berbunuhan
Islam itu, saya bilang dan saya ulang, adalah agama yang hanya pantas untuk
anjing dan binatang buas dan bukan untuk manusia.

Universal flu vaccine tests start

The BBC's medical correspondent Fergus Walsh talks to Prof Adrian Hill about
the need for a new flu vaccine.
A universal flu vaccine which could mean an end to the annual jab is being
tested on UK volunteers.
It targets a different part of the virus to current vaccines, which means it
does not have to be altered every year to match circulating strains..
If successful, the vaccine developed by Oxford University researchers would
also be a key weapon in a flu pandemic.
Experts said such a vaccine was the "holy grail" for flu researchers but there
was still a long way to go.
Study leader, Dr Sarah Gilbert, said traditional influenza vaccines are
designed to prompt an immune response to H and N proteins on the outer shell of
the virus.
With this vaccine, we could end up having pretty much everyone vaccinated -
a situation more like measles where you don't really see it anymore
Dr Sarah Gilbert
But these proteins are prone to mutation - and every year the vaccine has to be
reformulated on the basis of the strains likely to be most prominent.
So instead, the researchers have developed a vaccine on the basis of proteins
inside the cell, which are far more similar across different strains.
The vaccine uses a weakened smallpox virus to carry the proteins into the body
- a technique that has already been used in malaria and TB vaccines.
Once the virus has invaded the cell and starts to multiply, these inner
proteins called matrix protein 1 and nucleo-protein, are revealed to the immune
system.
A specific type of immune cell, called a T cell, then learns to recognise and
destroy cells containing the proteins the next time it encounters them.
Tests
Initially 12 people will be vaccinated to test the dose before further studies
are done to check its effectiveness in people exposed to flu.
Dr Gilbert said if they were successful it could drastically change the way flu
vaccine is used.
"With having to make new vaccine every year there's never enough to go around.
"With this vaccine, we could end up having pretty much everyone vaccinated - a
situation more like measles where you don't really see it anymore."
In the case of a pandemic, stockpiles of the vaccine could be made in advance
instead of having to wait for an outbreak to then identify the particular
strain of flu.
Potentially, once people had received the vaccine they would only need a
booster once every five to10 years.
But she added the research team had five to 10 years of further tests ahead of
them.
Professor John Oxford, a flu vaccine expert at Queen Mary, University of London
said such a vaccine would be the "ultimate prize".
"But it's a fairly difficult prize to get - it may just be a question of luck.
"There are people trying all kinds of strategies."
He added that having to manufacture different flu vaccines every year was a
"huge burden" on pharmaceutical companies..
"This team have experience with this type of vaccine so they may well get
there."
