Trial of Oxford university corona virus vaccine gave positive results

Oxford university vaccine trial for corona virus


Initial results from the corona virus vaccine developed by Oxford University have arrived and it appears to be safe and enabling the immune system to fight the disease.
It was injected to 1,077 people to make antibodies and white blood cells to fight the corona virus.
The results of this study are very positive, but it is too early to say that it is enough to protect against this disease and it requires large-scale trials.
The UK has ordered 10 million doses of the drug.
The health reporters say the main purpose of the trials is to make sure they can be given safely to more people.
But we may also find out the reaction of the immune system to the 'jab', whether it produces antibodies or activates other parts of the immune system.
"What we don't know today is whether this vaccine 'works', whether it protects you from infection or at least reduces the symptoms."
This requires a large number of people to be included in the trials, even in countries where there are far more coronavirus victims than in the UK.

Working of vaccine

This vaccine is called ChAdOx1 nCoV-19, which is being developed so fast that there is no precedent for it.
The vaccine is being developed from a genetically modified virus that infects monkeys with the common cold.
The virus has been modified so that it does not infect humans and looks like a corona virus.
To do this, scientists have transmitted the genetic properties of coronavirus-like proteins in the body to the vaccine. This means that the vaccine will be similar to the corona virus and the human immune system will learn how to attack the corona virus.

which scientists born on June 4??

Scientists born on June 4 Robert F. Furchgott Born June 4, 1916; Died May 19, 2009 at the age of 92. Robert Francis Furchgitt was an American pharmacologist who shared the 1998 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine (along with Louis J. Ignacio and Fred Murad) for his discovery that nitric oxide (NO) acts as a signaling molecule in the cardiovascular system. Is. Their joint work revealed a brand new mechanism by which the blood vessels in the body relax and dilate. Nitric oxide (NO), produced by a cell, works by penetrating membranes and regulating the function of other cells. Nerves and hormones are known as signal carriers, but this discovery was a completely new signaling principle in the biological system. Sir Christopher Cockerell Born June 4, 1910 Died June 1, 1999 at the age of 88 The English inventor of the hovercraft.

Some tips are useless but harmless but some are very dangerous.  Lets look what science says about some common misconceptions. 1-Garlic A number of posts have been shared on the social networking site Facebook suggesting that eating garlic can help prevent infections. The World Health Organization says that although garlic is "a healthy food with some antimicrobial properties", there is no evidence that eating garlic protects people from the coronavirus. This type of treatment is not harmful to health unless you trust it and ignore th...

Top 7 rivers where people can search gold

Top 7 rivers where people can search for gold  Most of the rivers of the world have gold deposits in their paths and contain dissolved gold particles in their waters. Due to geological changes many rivers still contain gold particles and large lumps in them. The race for gold search which began in the 19th century is now over. But there are still some places near rivers where ordinary people can find gold. Such rivers abound in the United States, and on some shores, ordinary people can try their luck for a golden treasure for a small fee. Earlier, the largest gold bar in California was discovered by an ordinary person. Many of the world's rivers are still famous for gold. The list includes many American rivers. 1.Reed Gold Mine, Charlotte, USA The Reed Gold Mine is located in Cabaret County, Midland, North Carolina, and is the first documentary commercial gold mine in the United States. In 1799, Conrad Reid found a 17-pound yellow "rock" in Little Meadow Creek. For thre...
