Can blood from a vaccinated person be used to cure someone that is affected by the certain virus covered by the vaccine?
In a way that is possible but the donor blood is supplied from a bone marrow transplant. Sometimes bone marrow transplantation is used in cancer, typically leukemia and lymphoma, to get a graft versus cancer immune effect. Unless the bone marrow is from an identical twin, there are minor mismatches in the donated bone marrow that can result in the donor’s bone marrow generating an immune response that can lead to significant remissions.The lymphoid progenitor stem cells from the bone marrow donor can result in T-cells that generate an immune response against the bone marrow recipients cancer.It’s a fine line because there are also graft versus host problems where the donor bone marrow attackes the organs of the recipient and can lead to very serious complications in the recipient. The reactions are mitigated with immune suppression drugs.
In 'I Am Legend' was will smiths blood a cure or antidote?
the cure because dont you remember in the movie where he captures the girl zombie and then when he returns to his lab he injects her with it and then she goes ARGGHH and scares the crap out of ya. later on in the movie you notice that the girl's butterfly tattoo is coming back so its cure
Is vaccine a type of medicine?
Vaccines are not medicines but are actually agents which contain a small amount of the virus that is injected into your body for your white blood cells to fight. Your body will then be able to recognise the virus the next time it attacks and become immune to it. There are many types of vaccines: 1) Flu, cholera vaccines are actually dead viruses that had been killed. 2) Tuberculosis vaccine, a non-contagious strain called "BCG" are a live virus. (I have had that. It leaves a small scar on you arm.) 3) Toxic based vaccines are used for fighting virus that are caused by the tonic in the organisms. 4) Protein vaccines like vaccines against Hepatitis B virus are taken from the surface proteins of the virus. 5) Conjugate vaccine is used for bacteria invasion. It creates an immunity to the bacteria. 6) DNA vaccines go into the core of a virus' DNA and use that as a fight against it. There are also some new vaccines but these are the only ones I know.
The difference between a vaccine and an antibiotic?
Vaccines are used to give you immunity to diseases. Antiobiotics are used to treat infections. Antiobiotics only treat bacteria. Vaccines protect against getting disease caused by viruses and bacteria. Examples of each are Vaccines for Measles, mumps, rubella and tetanus. Examples of antiobiotics, bactrim, amoxicillin, penicillin.
What is the current state of the HIV cure?
The Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is a retrovirus that attacks the immune system of humans and weakens the person’s defense system against infections. It attacks and destroys T-helper cell, a type of white blood cell, and replicates and produces multiple copies of itself inside these white blood cells. T-helper cells are also known as CD4 cells. Gradually the immune system becomes weak and susceptible to any kind of infections. This condition is known as acquired deficiency syndrome (AIDS).HIV is one of the most widespread, catastrophic, incurable diseases among humans throughout the world. According to the 2013 report by World Health Organization (WHO), HIV ranked 6th among the global deaths throughout the world, with approximately 1,776,270 deaths in 2009 itself. HIV presents itself as a complex mix of symptoms, all related to severe immune compromise. The global HIV market, according to the Financial Times 2015, was around USD 20 billion in 2013, which ranks it along with the global insulin market. High quality global journalism requires investment. Globally, the annual deaths from HIV/AIDS have fallen from 2.3 million in 2005 to 1.5 million in 2013, according to the UN AIDS report. HIV antivirals are the largest segment of drugs in the HIV market. Pharmaceutical companies however are focusing on the research and development of novel drugs that prove to be a long term cure for HIV virus and shall forever suppress the virus throughout the life of an individual.Treatments also involve dietary modifications and symptomatic relief of conditions presented during the onset of AIDS. Therapeutic treatment is often costly and requires constant supply of energy compounds (sugar/fat) in order for the patient to maintain a standard daily requirement. The affordability of such treatments is a factor of concern in many developing countries of the world. Furthermore, highest number of HIV-infected people is witnessed in poor countries. There is a majority of the HIV infected population living in sub-Saharan Africa region. Hence, worldwide healthcare companies are ensuring to lower their costs in this region so that they can introduce their products to generic competition.Download the PDF for HIV Research Report - http://bit.ly/2oasZlt
Which statement best describes how a vaccination can help protect the body against diseases?
1) vaccines directly kill the pathogen that causes the disease 2) vaccines act as a medicine that cures the disease 3) vaccines cause the production of specific molecules that will react with and destroy certain microbes 4) vaccines contain white blood cells that engulf harmful germs and prevent them from spreading throughout the body I don't understand this question. could you please explain?
Why can we not make a vaccine for malaria?
We can, but not in a practical way. For decades, there's been an effective malaria vaccine consisting of irradiated sporozoites. This vaccine provides fairly strong and reasonably long-lasting immunity, but unfortunately, there's no practical way of producing these in any kind of large amount, as would be required for any sort of useful vaccine. Research has focused on other approaches that are more conventional, in that we know how to make large amounts of these kinds of vaccines. There's been some small progress, but in general the more conventional vaccines are not very effective.The reasons are unclear in detail, but the big picture is that malaria is much more complex than the viruses and bacteria that are the most common targets of vaccines; it has a huge number of extremely sophisticated ways of blocking and evading host immunity, so it's very capable of handing all but the most broad and powerful immune responses.
What do you think of the following research regarding Squalene and vaccines?
"Squalene is used in certain vaccines."Your body contains squalene. There is enough in your finger print oils to send very sensitive tests off the charts. The US does not use squalene in vaccines. "Squalene opens the blood-brain barrier."What?!? First I have heard of this!"The blood-brain barrier prevents toxines(sic) from entering."Do you consider opium based drugs, stimulants and other psychoactive drugs toxins?"Vaccines contain mercury, a known neurotoxin that can weaken the immune system, cause neurological damage and death at higher dose"The usual confusion between methyl mercury and ethyl mercury usually made by the ignorant anti-vaccine crowd.All in all, a false syllogism.
