Welcome to the June issue of EVISA's Speciation Newsletter !
EVISA frequently reports about mercury, a very toxic metal and a global pollutant. While the Minamata Convention tries to reduce the release of mercury to the environment in order to minimize human exposure, this convention does not include pharmaceutical products such as vaccines. M ercury in the form of Thimerosal is added to some vaccines as an adjuvant, meant to circumvent microbial growth within the vaccine beneath other additional functions. Now a group of
Chinese researcher investigated the influence of the adjuvant on the activity of vaccines against genital warts and cervical cancer. A
reduction of the immunogenicity was observed as a result of structural
alterations of the virus-like particles induced by thimerosal adduct
formation (see the News below).
Liquid Chromatography coupled to inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (LC-ICP-MS) is one of the most often technique for speciation analysis. A group of Chinese researchers now used this technique for the speciation analysis of bromine
in human serum. Bromide was identified as the most prominent species.
Questions related to the biological function and metabolism of metal species will be discussed during the 7th International Symposium on Metallomics, taking place June 30 to July 3rd in Warsaw (Poland). Abstract submission for posters is still open.

NEWS
|
| |
| |
EVISA is keeping you updated with what is going on in speciation analysis. In this section you will find news about the most current research results, about trends, legal issues and information from manufacturers in the field of speciation analysis.
With all the links to further information and publications the News archive is a valuable collection of "hot topics" in speciation analysis. We continuously update even former news with new links and information so that all news are actual all the time.
Bromine Speciation in Human Serum
A group of Chinese researchers used Liquid Chromatography–Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry for the speciation analysis of bromine in human serum. Bromide was identified as the most prominent species.

Efficiency of some papillomavirus vaccines is reduced in the presence of thimerosal
Chinese researcher investigated the influence of the adjuvant thimerosal on the activity of vaccines against genital warts and cervical cancer. A reduction of the immunogenicity was observed as a result of structural alterations of the virus-like particles induced by thimerosal adduct formation.
