Lapachol, 11, has interesting antitumor activity (264, 351) as well as in vitro antiviral activity against polio type 1, ECHO type 19, coxsackiae B-4, and several strains of influenza viruses (596). Three novel furonaphthoquinones, 12, 13, and 14, are reported to have cytotoxic effects with ED50 values of 1.0-2.0 pg/ml against the P388 leukemia in vitro (861).

A rather distantly related analogue incorporating a 3-di-carbonyl moiety as a bioisosteric replacement for a carboxyl, aril done (55), blocks the uncoating of polio virus and herpes simplex virus type I and thus inhibits infection of cells and l.he early stages of virus replication. Thus effective therapy would require careful timing as it does with amantidine. 

Polio is the only disease, at present, for which both hve and killed vaccines compete. Since the introduction of the killed vims (Salk) in 1956 and the live attenuated virus (Sabin) in 1962 there has been a remaikable decline in the incidence of poliomyelitis (Fig. 16.1). The inactivated polio vaccine (TPV) contains formalin-killed poliovirus of all three serotypes. On injection, the vaccine stimulates the production of antibodies of the IgM and IgG class which neutrahze the vims in the second stage of infection. A course of three injections at monthly intervals produces long-lasting immunity to all three poliovirus types. 

Poliomyelitis is a highly contagious disease that is often asymptomatic however, approximately 1 in every 100 to 1000 cases will develop a rapidly progressive paralytic disease. Polio is caused by poliovirus which has three serotypes type 1 is most frequently associated with paralytic disease. Poliovirus replicates in the oropharynx and intestinal tract and is excreted in oral secretions and feces, which can infect others. As a result, more than 90% of unvaccinated individuals will become infected with poliovirus following household exposure to wild-type poliovirus. Since the introduction of the first poliovirus vaccine, there has been a significant reduction in the number of polio cases. Today, polio caused by wild-type poliovirus has been eradicated from the Western Hemisphere with the goal of eradicating it from the world.11...

Available killed vaccines include acellular pertussis, anthrax, botulism, cholera, diptheria, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib), influenza, Lyme disease, meningococcus, pertussis, plague, pneumococcus, polio, rabies, tetanus, typhoid, and typhoid VI. 

For the combination vaccine use the diphtheria-tetanus-acellular pertussis (DTPa), inactivated polio (IPV) and Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) (Infanrix-Polio+H i ) vaccine (GlaxoSmithKline, Rixensart, Belgium). 

The pharmacogenomics analysis of samples from a clinical study with an aluminum hydroxide-adsorbed vaccine (diphtheria-tetanus-acellular pertussis/polio/ Haemophilus influenzae) in infants is described. These instructions can easily be adapted to clinical studies of other vaccines with changes to the type of administered vaccine, administration route, vaccination ages, and so on. This method is therefore also suitable for assessing vaccine responses in adults and to study the cellular reactions in clinical subjects who have experienced adverse reactions. 

Let s conclude this discussion of life with a short consideration of viruses. Viruses cause all sorts of problems for living organisms. The problems are the consequence of their ability to infect, and ultimately kiU, many types of cells— bacterial, animal, and plant—though each virus is quite specific in terms of the type of cell that it infects. There are many types of viruses. In people, they cause measles, mumps, influenza, AIDS, polio, potentially fatal diarrhea in infants and very young children, herpes, chicken pox, shingles, the common cold, and many other diseases, that may be fatal, serious, and not so serious. In other animals, viruses also cause any number of diseases, as they do in plants. Much effort has been, and continues to be, devoted to the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of viral diseases. 

Interestingly, the persistence of viruses such as polio has been shown to be dependent on the vegetable type. When introduced onto lettuce or cabbage, a 1 log reduction in polio virus was observed over 8 days. In contrast, viruses introduced onto green onions remained stable for over 14 days (Kurdziel et al., 2001). The underlying factors associated with the persistence of enteric viruses on fresh produce remain to be elucidated. 

Another approach is the whole-killed or inactivated vaccine. These vaccines are derived from the pathogen itself, rather than a weakened form, as are live attenuated vaccines. Chemical (e.g., formalin, ether, and beta-propiolactone) or physical (e.g., heat, ultraviolet, and gamma irradiation) means, or combinations thereof, are used to inactivate the pathogen. Notable examples of this type of viral vaccine include the inactivated polio vaccine...

There are more cases of polio caused by the vaccine in the U.S. than are found overall. However the effectiveness of polio immunization is impressive. In 1986 the number of cases of wild type poliomyelitis which occurred in the Western Hemisphere was 930. In 1989 that number went to 130 in September 1989 it was 11 and there have been no new cases of polio in the U.S. due to the environmental agent since 1979. However,... 

Small ribonucleic acid (RNA) containing viruses. For example, polio viruses, which destroy the anterior horn cells leading to lower motor neuron paralysis, are of this type. 

The mucosal vaccines approved for human use include typhoid, cholera, adenovirus, Sabin oral polio, and rotavirus vaccines. New mucosal vaccine strategies are focused on development of non-replicating subunit vaccines, DNA, plant, and other types of recombinant vaccines as well as the use of mucosal adjuvants preferably inbuilt into the vaccine. The conjugation of lipids to peptide antigens is one approach which enables the production of highly...

Modern life comes in very many forms animals, plants, and single-celled eukaryotes in the Eucarya domain prokaryotes in two great domains, Archea and Bacteria (Woese, 1987 Woese et al, 1990), and not-life viruses. Some not-life is even anthropogenic the wild-type polio virus that used to be found in water bodies is now replaced in the pools and rivers of America and Europe by the altered vaccine-type virus. From all this information, deductions can be made. Clearly, multicelled life came from single-celled life less obviously but most probably each of our cells carries mitochondria that are descended from symbiotic purple bacteria. Plants, in addition, carry chloroplasts that are descended from partner cyanobacteria. 

In 1999, WHO published requirements for production and control of Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) conjugate vaccine and the acellular perussis component of monovalent or combined vaccines. The requirements for oral polio vaccine (OPV) were also revised in 1999, with several additions. WHO published new and replacement International Standards and Reference Materials covering a wide range of products.f ...
