New nanoparticle vaccine is more effective but less expensive
Date:9/17/2007

ced, and they are easy to transport.

The group is collaborating with the Swiss Tropical Institute in Basel to determine the strength and duration of the immune response in the context of a nanoparticle malaria vaccine. Toxicity studies are also in the works. Swartz says that the team is also planning to use this technique to target cancer cells.

If, as we hope, this vaccine technique can confer sustained immunity with a single injection for around a dollar a dose, without toxic side effects, it could have a real impact on public health, in the developing world as well as right here at home, says Swartz. More study is required to achieve these goals, she adds, but we have every reason to believe this technique could be in use within five years.
