West Nile virus vaccine under development - Zibb.com

German scientists say they are developing a DNA-based West Nile virus vaccine that can also be effective after onset of the disease.

The researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Cell Therapy and Immunology in Leipzig said in their vaccine DNA molecules known as plasmids are extracted from the pathogen and are used for inoculation, instead of the whole virus.

"They contain the genetic code for the antigens that stimulate the body to produce antibodies," said Matthias Giese, who is leading the vaccine development. "We can thus replicate the virus's natural infection route without actually triggering the disease."

Such vaccines, he said, are inexpensive and do not require refrigeration, which makes them ideal for use in subtropical and tropical climates. And unlike conventional vaccines, DNA vaccines can be used both prophylactically and therapeutically.

Giese expects the laboratory research to be completed by the end of 2009. After that, at least another three years will be needed for clinical trials and regulatory approval.

Then, he said, it is hoped, the world's first therapeutic West Nile virus vaccine will be ready for market.

Borders Is 'Twilight' Central this Season with Vampire Inspired Books, CDs, Calendars, Gifts, Free

One of Santa's little elves presides over a sprawling display of gift items that debuts today at Borders stores nationwide. But this is no ordinary elf -- instead of a sweet smile, he flashes a sharp set of fangs, signaling that Borders is the place to find gifts for the multitudes of young people today who have become passionate about vampires. It started with bestselling author Stephenie Meyer's first book "Twilight" about a high school romance between a mortal girl and her teen vampire boyfriend, and now three books in the series later, has blossomed into a craze that will gain even more momentum Nov. 21 when Summit Entertainment releases the highly anticipated feature film "Twilight." Borders was bitten early by what has been called a "full-blown pop culture phenomenon" and has amassed an incredible selection of gift items -- everything from the books to the film soundtrack CD to T-shirts, calendars and even jewelry -- in one sweeping display at the front of its stores that is sure to attract shoppers thirsty for gifts at all price points for hard-to-please teens and young adults. Borders, which is one of Summit Entertainment's primary retail partners for "Twilight," will even host free in-store parties Nov. 15 at nearly all of its stores nationwide.

"If you are a 'Twilight' fan or know someone who is into the vampire craze, Borders is the place to be this holiday season," said Rob Gruen, executive vice president of merchandising and marketing for Borders Group. "We absolutely have it all, including an incredible range of gifts -- many of which are under $20 -- as well as the books that inspired the phenomenon. We're even having special 'Twilight' film release parties in our stores and have an incredible amount of exclusive video content on Borders.com related to this book series and the film. Borders is clearly 'Twilight' central this holiday!"

Books/Periodicals/Calendars

Stephenie Meyer's books are of course front and center on the display. All four titles in the "Twilight" series -- "Twilight," "New Moon," "Eclipse" and the finale "Breaking Dawn" -- are available with some now also in paperback editions as well as hardcover. There is a special boxed set of all four titles in hardcover, which makes an impressive gift and comes with a poster. In addition, there are "Twilight" movie related titles such as "Twilight: The Complete Illustrated Movie Companion," which is a behind-the-scenes paperback guide featuring full-color photos of the cast, locations, and sets, as well as storyboards, and interviews.

Borders also offers an exclusive 16-month "Twilight" film calendar featuring lush photographs of the cast. It is the only calendar available for the film and you'll only find it at Borders. In addition, stores will be stocked with a magazine, "Film Fantasy Presents Twilight."

Music

Music from the "Twilight" film is captured on the "Twilight Movie Soundtrack" from Atlantic Records, which features artists such as Linkin Park, Muse, Collective Soul, Perry Farrell and Paramore, who recorded their song "Decode" in an acoustic version that is available only on the Borders exclusive version of the CD as a bonus track.

Gifts and Stocking Stuffers

Borders is stepping outside of the traditional book, music and movie categories with the "Twilight" phenomenon, offering a wide selection of gift and stocking stuffer items. Most of these items will be available the week of the "Twilight" movie release Nov. 21 and many of these "Twilight" gift items are exclusive to Borders so they cannot be purchased anywhere else. Fans will find apparel such as T-shirts in several different designs and in styles for men and women, a hoodie, and a messenger bag. There are also bookmarks, key chains, posters, pens, a pin set, a magnet set, stickers and wall scrolls, as well as jewelry that is authentic to what the characters wear in the film including a necklace, bracelet, a leather cuff bracelet and more.

Spend $25 and Get Exclusive Poster Free

Borders is the only retailer where, with the purchase of items totaling $25 or more within the "Twilight" saga, customers will receive a free collectible and Borders -- exclusive Twilight poster featuring a photo of Edward and Bella taken from the Borders exclusive calendar. Sized at 18-by-24 inches, it is the perfect extra special gift add-on for that vampire fan.

Party Like a Vampire Nov. 15!

Nearly all Borders and Waldenbooks stores nationwide will welcome fans Saturday, Nov. 15 beginning at 7 p.m. for free "Are You Ready for Twilight?" parties designed to give those anxious for the film's release an outlet to express their passion for all things "Twilight." Guests are encouraged to come in costume!

Parties will include activities such as a sure-to-be lively movie discussion where fans will debate what they expect from the film, "Twilight" charades, a quote contest challenging knowledge of the books and more. In addition, part of the fun will be a listening party featuring the film soundtrack and fans at many Borders stores will also be treated to a special viewing of the "Twilight" film DVD screener featuring behind-the-scenes peeks at the movie. Some stores will also host additional activities such as fortune telling, creative writing and more. Movie tickets for "Twilight" will be given away as prizes at many of the parties, courtesy of Fandango, the nation's largest movie ticketing service.

Podcast-Borders Westwood/Los Angeles-November 16

Borders will host a "Twilight" podcast from its store in Westwood, Calif., Nov. 16. The event will begin at 1:30 p.m. with a concert by the Twilight Music Girls.

Participants should brush up on their "Twilight" trivia as well.
