Effective preventive drug against bird flu developed in the mouse
10-12-2006 · EurekAlert!Researchers have developed what could be used as an effective preventive drug against bird flu. In a study published today in the open access journal Respiratory Research, researchers have created antibodies against the avian flu virus H5N1 that work in mice both as a preventive drug, or prophylaxis, when administered before infection, and as a treatment for bird flu.

- Protein's tail may be flu virus's achilles heel
12-06-2006 · EurekAlert!
New research from Rice University and the University of Texas at Austin (UT) has revealed a potential new target that drug makers can use to attack several strains of influenza, including those that cause bird flu. The research, published online December 6 by Nature, offers evidence of a potential drug target in a flu protein that plays a vital role in all strains of influenza A, including Hong Kong flu, Spanish flu and bird flu.

- BCM, Rice scientists map flu's chemical key
10-15-2007 · EurekAlert!
Scientists from Baylor College of Medicine and Rice University have developed the first 3D, molecular map of the protein that allows influenza B to infect healthy cells with viral DNA. The research appears online this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science. By studying influenza B, which affects only humans, researchers hope to shed light on the genetic mutations that would allow bird flu to spread among humans.

- DNA computing targets West Nile Virus, other deadly diseases
10-16-2006 · EurekAlert!
Researchers say that they have developed a DNA-based computer that could lead to faster, more accurate tests for diagnosing West Nile Virus and bird flu. Representing the first 'medium-scale integrated molecular circuit,' it is the most powerful computing device of its type to date, they say. In the future, the new technology could be used to develop instruments that can simultaneously diagnose and treat cancer, diabetes or other diseases, the scientists suggest.

- Effectiveness of mouse breeds that mimic Alzheimer's disease symptoms questioned
08-16-2007 · EurekAlert!
Scientists have shown that recently developed mouse breeds that mimic the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease may not be as effective as previously assumed. The scientists show in the Aug. 24 issue of the Journal of Biological Chemistry that in some mouse breeds, drugs that had been shown to reduce levels of a toxic protein called amyloid beta had only minor or no effect on these mice.

- Bypassing eggs, flu vaccine grown in insect cells shows promise
04-10-2007 · EurekAlert!
An experimental flu vaccine made in insect cells -- not in eggs, where flu vaccines currently available in the United States are grown -- is safe and as effective as conventional vaccines in protecting people against the flu. Removing eggs from the flu vaccine manufacturing process could allow a vaccine to be produced in large amounts much more quickly, a key advantage if a bird flu pandemic were to occur.
