New Quality-Control Investigations on Vaccines: Micro- and Nanocontamination
Authors: Antonietta M. Gatti and Stefano Montanari Abstract Vaccines are being under investigation for the possible side effects they can cause. In order to supply new information, an electron-microscopy investigation method was applied to the study of vaccines, aimed at verifying the presence of solid contaminants by means of an Environmental Scanning Electron Microscope equipped with […]
Predicting post-vaccination autoimmunity: Who might be at risk?
Authors: Alessandra Soriano, Gideon Nesher, Yehuda Shoenfeld Abstract Vaccinations have been used as an essential tool in the fight against infectious diseases and succeeded in improving public health.
