• The Friend virus (FV) is a strain of murine leukemia virus identified by Charlotte Friend in 1957. (wikipedia.org)
  • The virus infects adult immunocompetent mice and is a well-established model for studying genetic resistance to infection by an immunosuppressive retrovirus. (wikipedia.org)
  • Experiments have shown that it is possible to protect against Friend virus infection with several types of vaccines, including attenuated viruses, viral proteins, peptides, and recombinant vaccinia vectors expressing the Friend virus gene. (wikipedia.org)
  • By any rational standard, the mRNA vaccines are true vaccines in every sense of the word since they end up educating the human immune system to recognize a specific type of viral protein antigen which then causes this now educated immune system to specifically target the COVID-19 virus prior to an actual infection by the live virus.

  • He believed that cancers, and more broadly any disease, developed whenever the balance in the four body humours (blood, phlegm, yellow bile, and black bile) were lost. (jcancer.org)
  • 7 While in absolute numbers quite rare, in terms of years of life lost and effects on quality of life pediatric cancers are clearly among the most devastating diseases faced by today's clinicians. (touchoncology.com)
  • Chemotherapy in particular is also frequently associated with significant side effects, which are often perceived by patients as worse than the actual disease, and have in the past led to the termination of treatment, particularly in under-aged patients.16 However, even with treatment success, long-term adverse effects and treatment-induced secondary cancers are, with extended life expectancies, also becoming increasingly a problem.

  • The Friend virus has been used for both immunotherapy and vaccines. (wikipedia.org)
  • The greater understanding by which the mechanisms work may aid in the development of immunotherapies and vaccines that may be applicable to human diseases. (wikipedia.org)
  • This means that, in the future, this immune system will more rapidly and effectively be able to attack the actual live virus if the body is ever infected by it. (educatetruth.com)
  • Why would I expose myself to some kind of autoimmune disease or disorder where I get my body to attack itself? (educatetruth.com)
  • The virus infects adult immunocompetent mice and is a well-established model for studying genetic resistance to infection by an immunosuppressive retrovirus. (wikipedia.org)

  • Charlotte Friend 1921-1987 (PDF). (wikipedia.org)
  • Well, it was right about that time that Charlotte Friend came up with her virus. (nih.gov)
  • Stevenson: Before we get started on that, maybe we could go back in time and kind of pick up where Bob Huebner got started with virus cancer type investigations. (nih.gov)
  • And up until I knew Bob from the Cancer Institute, I had been at the Public Health Service in Cincinnati and knew him more in terms of Adenoviruses and a variety of enteric viruses which his laboratory had been very instrumental in discovering, developing and, in fact, he supplied us with Adenovirus Type 3, which we used in disinfection studies and things like that.

  • Intragenic transcriptional cis-activation of the human immunodeficiency virus 1 does not result in allele-specific inhibition of the endogenous gene. (medscape.com)
  • The term "oncotarget" encompasses all molecules, pathways, cellular functions, cell types, and even tissues that can be viewed as targets relevant to cancer as well as other diseases. (oncotarget.com)
  • AB - Antibodies against hepatitis E virus (anti-HEV) were found in 248 Swedish and Danish patients between 1993 and 2007. (nih.gov)
  • It was also found up to three weeks after the onset of disease in 67% of the patients with known date of onset. (nih.gov)
  • In a study of vaccinated mice, it was possible to identify the immunological epitopes required for protection against the virus, thus determining the types of immunological responses necessary or required for protection against it. (wikipedia.org)
