A vaccine that would fight all mosquito-borne diseases

Ars Technica has announced an important advancement in the field of vaccines: the National Institutes of Health (NIH) announced the launch of a vaccine phase I clinical trial that would fight all mosquito-borne diseases. According to research using recombinant human proteins, the vaccine, named AGS-v, is aimed at mosquito saliva rather than individual bacteria.

Scientists have been hoping for a vaccine to fight all the mosquitoes, and the UK Sik Biotechnology Group and NIH are pushing the dream to be a reality. The Sikh Group has developed an AGS-v vaccine for decades of exploration, which allows humans to immunize all diseases spread by mosquitoes. The company believes that the vaccine is equivalent to a "weapon". If the mosquito bites the vaccination of the vaccine, it will face death or the result of not being able to reproduce. AGS-v is not usually vaccinated to prevent a particular disease vaccine but creating a "whistle" for the mosquito saliva in the human body, that is, an immune system. When the mosquito remains saliva in the human body, the immune system will produce a similar allergic reaction to "destroy" pathogens in the body.

Scientists have been thinking about targeting mosquito saliva for some time. Mosquito saliva contains a variety of proteins, and the new vaccine is developed through the four kinds of proteins that usually can be found in mosquitoes. But at present, Sikh has not yet announced related data on the safety and efficacy of the vaccine.

Mosquito is the creature which kills the most humans, far more than the sum of the numbers of other biological killers. Mosquito-borne malaria is likely to be the greatest infectious disease of great threat to human history, and it can't be eradicated so far. This strange trick came up by US and British scientists makes the human immune system attack all foreign body injected by mosquito. If it is effective and feasible, it will become another milestone in the history of human medicine, meaning comparable to antibiotics. The human immune system has great potential, making use of it to destroy all kinds of incurable diseases in the future is more hopeful than medication. By the way, Flarebio provides you with superior recombinant proteins including recombinant ECE1 at competitive prices.
