Chimpanzees Inoculated with Cytomegalovirus Contaminated Polio Vaccines may Explain

چکیده
The genomic sequences of HIV-1 isolates are closely related to the sequences of simian immunodeficiency viruses of chimpanzees SIV (cpz) [1]. It is widely presumed, therefore, that a SIV (cpz)-derived virus can evolve into HIV. The time at which humans initially became infected with SIV (cpz) or with a SIV (cpz)-derived virus is less certain. Yet this is clearly relevant to the likely mode of virus transmission from chimpanzees to humans.

Stealth Adaptation of Viruses: Implications forTherapy and for Potential Toxicity of Vaccines
The scope of human and animal virology research is likely to undergo a major expansion. It will occur with the realization that the immune system may fail to effectively recognize derivative viruses, which no longer express the major antigens normally targeted by cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL). This immune evasion mechanism has been termed stealth adaptation. Persistent infections with stealth a...
متن کاملEvaluation of Adventitious Agents in MMR & Oral Poliomyelitis Vaccines
Background and Aims: Adventitious agents, especially viral agents are among the most important concerns in viral vaccines. Viral contamination of biological products may arise from the original source of the reagents such as, serum, trypsin, animal or human derived media components or cell culture and working seed or cross contamination of vaccine during production. In this study, adventitious ...
متن کاملSome oral poliovirus vaccines were contaminated with infectious SV40 after 1961.
Some polio vaccines prepared from 1954 to 1961 were contaminated with infectious SV40. It has been assumed that all polio vaccines were SV40 free in the United States after 1961 and in other countries after 1962. Following a WHO requirement that was prompted by the detection of SV40 in some human tumors, we conducted a multilaboratory study to test for SV40 polio vaccines prepared after 1961. V...
متن کاملThe politics of a scientific meeting: the origin-of-AIDS debate at the Royal Society.
The Royal Society of London held a scientific meeting in September 2000 focusing on two theories of the origin of AIDS: one, that it occurred through "natural transfer" of immunodeficiency virus from monkeys or chimpanzees to humans; and the other, that it occurred through iatrogenic transfer via contaminated polio vaccines used in Africa in the late 1950s. This meeting was the culmination of y...
متن کاملExperimental oral polio vaccines and acquired immune deficiency syndrome.
The simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) of the common chimpanzee is widely acknowledged as the direct ancestor of HIV-1. There is increasing historical evidence that during the late 1950s, kidneys were routinely excised from central African chimpanzees by scientists who were collaborating with the polio vaccine research of Dr Hilary Koprowski, and sent - inter alia - to vaccine-making laborator...
