Chinese Scientists Developed Dental Cavity Vaccine

hackingbear writes: Dental caries is one of the most common global chronic diseases affecting all ages of the population, scientists at Wuhan Institute of Virology, Chinese Academy of Sciences developed low side effects and high protective efficiency against caries using flagellin-rPAc fusion protein, KFD2-rPAc, a promising vaccine candidate. In rat challenge models, KFD2-rPAc induces a robust rPAc-specific IgA response, and confers efficient prophylactic and therapeutic efficiency against caries as does KF-rPAc, while the flagellin-specific inflammatory antibody responses are highly reduced.
