Japan uses genetically modified technology to develop a new type of bird flu vaccine

In response to possible new human-to-human transmission of influenza, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare on July 29 decided to use GM technology to develop vaccines and strive to put them into use five years later. The development cost is about 1 billion yen. Bird flu vaccines are usually made from eggs that have been used in the past and cultured in eggs. However, because the new bird flu virus is highly toxic and it is dangerous to use the original virus, it is necessary to weaken the virus through genetic modification. The transgenic bird flu vaccine has not been used so far, and the safety and effectiveness have yet to be confirmed. The Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare has decided to use the H5N1 virus that was popular in Vietnam this year to develop vaccines through genetic modification. After clinical research confirms safety, it is put into use and strives for 5 After mass production in the year, the National Institute of Infectious Diseases of the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare and the vaccine manufacturers have already begun preparing for the preparation of a vaccine for animal experiments. At the end of last year, bird flu became popular in Yanzhou and people in Vietnam and other countries died of bird flu. Recently, bird flu raged in Thailand again. The Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare believes that new types of flu that have spread from person to person already have the possibility to develop vaccines to prepare for crisis management. In the future, if the new influenza epidemic happens, the virus will be collected through the World Health Organization, and the vaccine will be used to make vaccines in large quantities. At that time, since the safety of the genetically modified vaccine has been confirmed, it can be supplied to patients in large quantities.
