...every pint of blood in the nation's reserves for the AIDS virus. The hugely successful effort, which costs more than $50 million annually, has rendered negligible a once ominous threat to recipients of blood transfusions. But the convention proceedings got a jolt when Dr. Luc Montagnier of Paris' Pasteur Institute informed the assembly that an AIDS virus called LAV-II, whose presence in two West Africans was announced last spring, has now been found in Western Europe. According to Montagnier, LAV-II does not necessarily show up in screening procedures for the original AIDS virus, and tests may have...
...cure the disease or a vaccine that would prevent infection looks to be at least five years away. The time could be even longer, the panel said, if efforts are not stepped up greatly now. In France, however, some AIDS researchers appear more hopeful. Dr. Marc Girard of the Pasteur Institute in Paris announced last week that a vaccine developed there should be ready for human trials sometime next year. The vaccine was developed by adding protein fragments from the AIDS virus to vaccinia, the virus that causes cowpox and is harmless to humans...
...first synthesized in 1964 by Jerome Horwitz of the Michigan Cancer Foundation as a possible anticancer drug. But it proved ineffective against tumors and was largely forgotten until 1984, after Robert Gallo of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and Luc Montagnier of the Pasteur Institute in Paris independently isolated the AIDS virus...
...same ceremony, awards will go to National Institutes of Health physician Robert C. Gallo, chief of the tumor cell biology laboratory, and Luc Montagnier, professor of viral oncology at France's Pasteur Institute. The scientists are credited with isolating the AIDS virus...
...greatest fear of AIDS, of course, centers on questions about its transmission. On the medical front last week, researchers at the Pasteur Institute in Paris announced that traces of the AIDS virus have been found in the genes of more than 50 varieties of insects from Africa. The report's author, Jean-Claude Chermann, rushed to assure the public that insects almost certainly pose no threat to humans, but a trigger-happy French press jumped to its own conclusions. MOSQUITOES COULD TRANSMIT AIDS VIRUS, headlined France- Soir...
