HIV Vaccine Reported To Be Successful In Trials By Canadian University

HIV vaccine reported to be successful in trials by Canadian university Researchers at the University of Western Ontario recently completed Phase 1 human trials of a new preventative HIV vaccine, and the results give hope that they may be on track towards a commercially available vaccine that will protect against HIV. The vaccine, called SAV001-H, was developed by Dr. Chil-Yong Kang and his team at Western University's Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry. So far, SAV001-H is unique in being the only preventative vaccine to use a genetically-modified version ofthe whole virus (similar to vaccines for polio, influenza and rabies, to name a few). "We infect the cells with a genetically modified HIV-1," Kangsaid in an interview with OntarioBusiness Report. "The infected cells produce lots of virus, which we collect, purify and inactivate so that the vaccine won’t cause AIDS in recipients, but will triggerimmune responses." This will hopefully make the vaccine not only effective, but easy and cheap to produce. Now, Phase 1 trials (which started in March of 2012) are specifically to test if the vaccine is safe, and to identify any side effects (if any). It's not until Phases 2 and 3 that the actual effectiveness of the vaccine is truly put to the test. However, it seems that SAV001-H passed its Phase 1 trials with flying colours,since no adverse effects were reported in any of the patients that participated in the study.

Governor Rauf Aregbesola of Osun State on.Tuesday said that his administration had cancelled pre-nursery in all government owned public schools in the state. Aregbesola said this in Ila Orangun during a.feedback interactive forum with the people in the area.

Mothers should take care of their babies until they are six years old. "Children from six years of age to18 will enjoy free and qualitativeeducation, we are committed to giving our children qualitative education and we won't compromise on this." The governor also said that his administration was working on abill to make it mandatory for anycivil servant to work for at least three years in rural communities before they could rise beyond Grade Level 12. This, according to him, is aimed at stopping civil servants from rejecting their postings to work in rural areas. He said, "Any worker on Level 12who wants to rise beyond the level must have three years of service in rural communities or such would not rise beyond that level."
