vaccination

Our bodies rely on the production of potent, or 'high affinity,' antibodies to fight infection. The process is very complex, yet scientists have discovered that it hinges on a single molecule, a growth factor, without which it cannot function.

(Cure Lab, Inc.) One of the most pressing biomedical issues is the development of techniques that increase the efficiency of vaccines.

In a paper published on April 24, 2008 in the journal Vaccine, a Massachusetts biotechnology company, Cure Lab, Inc. has proposed a new technology for anti-viral and potentially anti-cancer vaccination.

Cure Lab demonstrates that deriving a vaccine antigen in two forms and then applying these two forms in combination elicits a much stronger immune response.
