The growing suspicion that mem bers of the herpes family of viruses may play a role in human cancer (TIME, April 23) was heightened even more last week by the revelations of a noted medical researcher. Dr. Albert Sabin, developer of the live-virus polio vaccine, told the National Academy...
Other doctors, meanwhile, have borrowed a leaf from Coley's book and have been trying, with some success, to awaken sleeping immune systems to combat cancer. The techniques of this approach vary widely. Some doctors still use Coley's bacterial-toxin formula; others inject vaccine made from killed mumps virus...
There is no question that the President must save money. But by cutting back basic research in so many key areas, is he sacrificing some unexpected future achievement of untold economic or social importance-a discovery comparable, say, to the transistor or the polio vaccine? Many scientists are certain he...
Forced Evolution. Until now, a vaccine to combat a newly evolved strain could be prepared only after the event (TIME, Aug. 21). Ideally, as Professor Claude Hannoun explained it, scientists would like to anticipate all the antigenic changes that nature might make in the next few years in the virus...
Hannoun reported that by using a technique devised by Australian Immunologist Fazekas de Saint Groth, his research team had artificially caused such mutants to evolve. He was confident that they had anticipated all the minor changes that nature could produce in the next five years. Thus, he claims, they have...
