Round-Up
Vaccinating Against Herpes Simplex VirusesHerpes Simplex Virus
(HSV) causes herpes--a common illness involving recurrent oral or
genital skin lesions. There is no effective vaccine to prevent herpes,
andantiviral drugs reduce symptoms but do not eradicate the virus. In
a report in the August 4 JCI Insight, Betsy Herold, M.D., andWilliam
Jacobs, Jr., Ph.D., co-senior authors, and colleagues demonstrate that
a new vaccine candidate developed in their labs (DgD-2) protected
mice infected by genetically diverse strains of HSV-1 and HSV-2 that
were provided by Amy Fox, M.D., at the Clinical Virology Lab of
Montefiore. The vaccine induces antibodies that rapidly clear the virus
from the skin before it can establish latency and persist in the body.
These results distinguish this vaccine from all other candidate
vaccines in the field. The studys lead author was Christopher D. Petro,
a graduate student from their labs. Dr. Herold is professor
of pediatrics, of microbiology & immunology, and of obstetrics &
gynecology and womens health.

Searching for Consensus on

Healthy Foods
Get 10 registered dietitian/nutritionists (RDNs) in a room and the
chance of us talking shop is virtually 100 percent. While thered be
a robust debate about some subjects, wed all agree that the
question we get more than any other from the public is, Is this
healthy? and various iterations of the same.
Many consumers have definite ideas about whats healthy and
whats not. So do nutritionists. According to a survey recently
conducted by the New York Times that contrasted responses of the
public and members of the American Society of Nutritionists, a
professional organization, the two groups frequently disagree about
whether a food is healthy.
