...just speculation.”SORE WINNERSIn December, HMS researchers at the CBR Institute for Biomedical Research found they could harness RNA interference (RNAi), an important gene-expression mechanism, to suppress the virus that causes genital herpes.Judy Lieberman, David Knipe, and Deborah Palliser discovered that a 22-base-long strand of RNA, when absorbed by genital cells in mice, can destroy the messenger RNA responsible for expressing the HSV-2 virus, which is carried by over 20 percent of American adults.Lieberman says she hopes that this process can become the basis for a convenient, inexpensive drug that can prevent...

...immune system to produce antibodies that fight these proteins. In tests that have are detailed in the latest issue of the Journal of Neuroscience, the vaccine significantly diminished plaques on the brains of treated mice. Similar tests on human subjects began about six years ago, using a full aggregated strand of the protein. But this trial was cancelled in 2002 when 6 percent of the patients tested experienced brain inflammation. Ultimately, researchers would like the new vaccine to be tested on humans, according to one of the study’s authors, Cynthia A. Lemere, who is an associate professor...
