An effective vaccine against tuberculosis (TB) before and after the disease infects the body is being developed by a group of scientists at the Statens Serum Institute, Copenhagen, Denmark.
As we all know TB is a plague that target people living in developing countries, where antibiotics are not available enough to be given to the millions who are already infected.
Yet, surprisingly, TB also showed a sharp increase in the number of developed countries, such as in England. A total of 9000 TB cases emerged in 2009. This triggers the Health Protection Agency to seek a cure for TB ward.
TB itself is a lung disease with cough, chest pain, and loss of weight into its properties. After the attack, the bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis that causes TB will continue to hide in the human body.
During this hiding bacteria can become resistant to vaccines. He proceeded to conduct themselves after the reactivation of the vaccine effect was lost. Reactivation of itself can occur even after several decades he was hiding in the body.
BCG vaccine, which is used as an immunization is only effective if it is injected before the bacteria invade the body.
The efficacy of this vaccine itself has long been awaited by patients with AIDS who faced death threats if TB because their immune attack has been destroyed.
“The vaccine that can protect against initial infection and also protect the long term is an important breakthrough,” said Peter Davies, a professor who is also representative of the team of TB Alert. The report findings about the vaccine itself is published in the journal Nature Medicine.

Researchers have identified a gene called CHRNA5. This gene is a major source of nicotine cause can not be forgotten by the brain. The findings open opportunities to the development of anti-smoking drug.
For information, tobacco kills 5 million people every year and a factor 1 in 10 adult deaths, with 90 percent of the deaths were linked to lung cancer.
CHRNA5 itself is a gene that controls a receptor, a driveway on the surface of brain cells, which also served to respond to the presence of nicotine molecule.
If the normal human brain, the intake of nicotine in small doses though will trigger the receptor sends a message stating “stop eating these things” in the brain.
“The dose makes the brain release a greater sense of disgust, such as the body to consume food or drink that tastes bad,” said Paul Kenny, head of the team of researchers from the Scripps Research Institute, Florida, United States, as quoted from MedIndia, February 1, 2011.
When tested in mice, the effect is different if a small portion of the receptor subunits, named alpha5, removed. “The message of rejection is never sent to the brain. Finally, can not stop eating rat poison given to him, “said Kenny.
Researchers believe a similar scenario occurs in a number of human beings. From the scan further, researchers also have identified genetic changes that cause alpha5 does not work.
“About 30 to 35 percent of the population in the United States is estimated to have one of the forms of a gene that encourages CHRNA5 nicotine addiction becomes uncontrollable,” said Kenny.
Kenny mentioned, the data obtained explain the reasons why individuals who have genetic variations that have a high tendency to develop a pattern of addiction to tobacco.
