Rintatolimod, sold under the tradename Ampligen, is a medication intended for treatment of myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). [1] There is some evidence it may improve some ME/CFS symptoms. [1] It is an immunomodulatory double-stranded RNA drug similar to the prototypical RNA poly I:C.
The Public Health Agency of Canada announced that it has secured 500,000 initial doses of GSK's Arepanrix H5N1 human vaccine against avian influenza to protect people most at risk.

The most commonly used antigens in rodents are spinal cord homogenate (SCH), purified myelin, myelin protein such as MBP, PLP, and MOG, or peptides of these proteins, all resulting in distinct models with different disease characteristics regarding both immunology and pathology.
