...astonished by the story about the vaccine made from freeze-dried tomato juice that comes from fruit carrying a gene from a strain of the E. coli bacterium. This vaccine can fight off diarrheal diseases. I didn't realize such a thing was possible. I'm glad to know there are scientists trying to find better ways to combat disease in impoverished Third World countries. MARIA MAMAH Union Springs...
First, it uses dead E. coli bacteria to deliver the antigen, or disease-causing agent that the body recognizes, to a cell in the immune system known as a macrophage...
...joint study sought to discover whether systems primed by Higgins’ modified E. coli to wipe out invaders bearing ovalbumin would effectively protect mice from the melanoma strain tagged with that protein...
...world a safer place. Arntzen, an Arizona State University biologist, has been working for nearly five years to create what is basically freeze-dried tomato juice--but not from any ordinary tomatoes. This fruit (yes, tomatoes are fruits, not vegetables) carries a gene from a strain of the E. coli bacterium. Some strains of E. coli can cause violent diarrhea and death. Swigged down in reconstituted juice, however, a protein made by the E. coli gene should act as a vaccine, priming the immune system to recognize and fight off the real thing...
