Flu shots may reduce the risk of blood clots forming in veins by 26 percent, according to research presented at the American Heart Association’s Scientific Sessions 2008.
“Our study suggests for the first time that vaccination against influenza may reduce the risk of venous thrombotic embolism (VTE),” said Joseph Emmerich, M.D., Ph.D., lead author of the study and professor of vascular medicine at the University Paris Descartes and head of the INSERM Lab 765, which investigates thrombosis. “This protective effect was more pronounced before the age of fifty-two years 
HIV vaccine failure explained?

Researchers have suggested that an experimental vaccine against AIDS might have failed in part because it made some people's immune cells more vulnerable to HIV infection.
Monoclonal antibodies come of age, and passive immunity treatments come around

Monoclonal antibodies, antibodies that are made from a single cell line and that bind to a specific part of a specific antigen, are much more precise than polyclonal antibodies, but they are more expensive and difficult to make. However, a new system of isolating antibodies from human patients has been used to create a library of immune proteins. So far, things seem to be going well. This could open the door for what researchers are calling "passive immunity

Flu shots given to pregnant women a month or more before delivery will prevent most cases of influenza during the first six months of their babies' lives, researchers said.
Breast cancer vaccine fights tumors in lab tests

Researchers who designed one experimental breast cancer vaccine say they have fine-tuned the process and come up with another that they hope will be more effective.

A new experimental breast cancer vaccine could prove highly effective in treating twenty to thirty percent of breast cancers, according to researchers.
Study Dispels Link Between Autism and Measles Vaccine

Hoping to dispel long-running concerns that autism is linked to the measles-mumps-rubella vaccine (MMR), researchers now say a new study shows the childhood vaccine does not raise that risk.
Genetically engineered tobacco plants used to grow anti-lymphoma vaccine

Reports in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences report that an experimental vaccines has triggered the immune systems of eleven (out of sixteen) patients to attack their tumors. The patients are afflicted with what is called follicular B-cell lymphoma. Dangerous side effects? None.
The interesting part? The vaccine was grown courtesy of some genetically engineered tobacco plants.
Of course, all of the patients were also receiving chemotherapy at the time, so it may be difficult to tell which results may be attributed to the vaccine itself
Government HIV vaccine doesn't make it out the gate

Plans for a large-scale clinical trial of an HIV vaccine developed by the U.S. government were cancelled this week. The researchers fear jumping into human trials too soon, without knowing more about how their vaccine will affect the volunteers. Here is a quote:
"The trial canceled Thursday was supposed to have started enrolling 8,500 volunteers last October to receive the PAVE [Partnership for AIDS Vaccine Evaluation] vaccine, developed by the infectious diseases agency
Cheleation therapy and autism--is it worth the trouble?
Darkfrog submitted, created time 4 months 5 days (www.nature.com)
Cheleation therapy involves injecting the patient with dimercaptosuccinic acid or some other agent that can bind to metal ions. The bound ions are then eliminated by the body. Cheleation therapy is used, successfully, in heavy metal poisoning. Now people are pushing for its use with autistic children.
For years, the idea that vaccines cause autism has taken center stage. The rationale is that the mercury used as a preservative (or more specifically, that USED to be used as a preservative) was poisoning the children and interrupting their brain development
Rotavirus and rotavirus vaccines

So far so good for the new rotavirus vaccine. It has delayed the onset of the most recent season by three months, and the number of cases was the lowest since tracking of the infection began.
The rotavirus causes severe vomiting and diarrhea in infants and small children.
Rotavirus vaccine proves highly effective

The highly contagious human rotavirus is the leading cause of severe vomiting and diarrhea in infants and young children around the world, killing 600,000 children annually.
A rotavirus vaccine approved in 2006 is having a significant impact in the United States, delaying the onset of the rotavirus season by three months and reducing its severity by about half, federal officials said Wednesday

Parents worried that vaccines trigger autism are increasingly declining the shots for their kids. That's raising fears that long-dormant diseases could return. What the science says about the real risks—and what you should do.
Leaf clippings as protein factories
kavin submitted, created time 6 months 3 weeks (www.sciencenews.org)
Traditionally, if researchers want to produce some proteins such as vaccinum，they need to develop a genetically modified plant first and getting government approval can take years. This new technique could induce plant leaves to mass-produce custom proteins in a matter of weeks. The plant cells could make virtually any kind of protein, including antigens for rapid production of vaccines against new viruses. Best of all, because this does not involve genetically engineering the entire plant, the approval process is expectede to be much simpler.
