Federal District ─ Cuban scientists begin this year to be tested in humans, a therapeutic vaccine against AIDS, reported yesterday at a conference of biotechnology that began in Havana with the participation of specialists from 38 countries, among which the American professor Peter Agre, Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2003, who was received by President Raul Castro at the inauguration of the event.

The Cuban antidote is not preventive, but it can give people who develop acquired immunodeficiency syndrome improved quality of life, says Professor Gerardo Guillén, director of biomedical research of the Center for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (ICGEB) in Cuba.

The specialist Enrique Iglesias, head of the team that developed the inoculation IGBC, outlined the progress of research in the congress takes place in the Palace of Conventions of Havana.

He recalled that this substance has already been tested successfully on mice and elaborated that "we are now preparing a phase one clinical trial, very small, very controlled HIV patients who are not in advanced stage."

Iglesias explained that the substance TERAVAC-HIV-1, obtained from "a recombinant protein (by genetic engineering techniques), seeks to induce a cellular response against HIV."

Churches asked not to generate false expectations about the vaccine, since "there is no animal model of AIDS infection reproducing the disease as it occurs in humans ... So far there have been over 100 clinical trials (in humans) HIV "in Cuba and other countries, and" all have failed, "he said.

Ran it through a translator. Hopefully this will make sense

Other developments

Guillen also said progress in other recombinant vaccine against dengue is currently experiencing in monkeys and in his opinion, would be "one of its kind in that market compared to major pharmaceutical companies in the world."

This antidote is under trial but has already achieved that "the virus does not multiply," he said after reporting that the Cubans working in collaboration with institutions in other countries, including France's Pasteur Institute.

At the meeting in Havana, Cubans also presented Nasvac, a vaccine against hepatitis B, "exclusive product" of IGBC is administered nasally and is in final phase (three) of human clinical trials, both in Cuba and Bangladesh.

The agenda of the forum, held every two years, including holding symposiums and treatment Cancer Biology and Disease Genomics, proteomics and bioinformatics in drug design.

Biotech products of the island are registered in about 40 countries and exported to 35.

This type of developments in biotechnology is also characterized by a capacity for technology transfer sui generis, and is "the second branch of exportation" of the economy in the Caribbean nation after nickel, according to Dr. Guillen.

Mexico's share

At the conference, which will conclude on Thursday March 8, also involved a delegation of specialists from Mexico as well as representations of France, Canada, Italy, Sweden, Spain, Denmark, United Kingdom, Portugal, Argentina and Colombia.

Among the guests participating in the Mexican event include Emilio Córdova, the National Institute of Genomic Medicine, Johanna Berlandez, Center for Scientific Research and Higher Education of Ensenada, Rafael Sanchez, founder of the Institute of Biotechnology and Applied Ecology, and Joseph Luis Stephano, a researcher at the Autonomous University of Baja California.
