The peptides can be specially designed for specificity. A single peptide vaccine can be designed to have multiple epitopes to generate immune responses for several diseases. The vaccines only contain a short peptide chain, so they are less like to lead to allergic or auto-immune responses. Disadvantages: Poor immunogenicity. Unstable in cells.
Gastric Pentadecapeptide BPC-157 (also known as PL 14736, Body Protection Compound 157, or Bepecin) is a fifteen amino acid long oligopeptide that was discovered during research on human gastric juice. [1]
Concerns about thiomersal and vaccines are commonly expressed by anti-vaccine activists. Claims relating to the safety of thiomersal, a mercury-based preservative used in vaccines, are refuted, but still subject to fearmongering, notably claims it could cause neurological disorders such as autism, leading to its removal from most vaccines in the US childhood schedule.

In addition, the polyhistidine-tag - a short peptide that is introduced into a vaccine composition to purify a chimeric protein from a bacterial lysate - is also a vaccine antigen against which antibodies can form in those who have received the vaccine. A person vaccinated with EpiVacCorona can develop antibodies not only to the peptides of the ...
National regulatory authorities have granted full or emergency use authorizations for 40 COVID-19 vaccines.. Ten vaccines have been approved for emergency or full use by at least one stringent regulatory authority recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO): Pfizer–BioNTech, Oxford–AstraZeneca, Sinopharm BIBP, Moderna, Janssen, CoronaVac, Covaxin, Novavax, Convidecia, and Sanofi ...
The FDA banned the use of red dye No. 3 in foods and medicines sold in the U.S. because it has been shown to cause cancer in rats. The action highlights the limits of a federal law known as the ...
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced in a statement Tuesday that it has sent warning letters to companies selling unapproved weight loss drugs. The letter went to Xcel Peptides ...
The letters were issued to Xcel Peptides, Swisschems, Summit Research and Prime Peptides last week after the U.S. health regulator conducted a review of their respective websites in October. The ...
