Atorvastatin possibly interacts with the mechanism of the Zostavax vaccine by attenuating the immune responses that should occur after administration of the vaccine. Without a proper immune response, there is a decreased antibody production against the varicella zoster virus (VZV). Atorvastatin contains immunomodulating properties that as it inhibits HMG-CoA reductase, it causes a decrease in isoprenoid pyrophosphates. Isoprenoid pyrophosphates are necessary to activate Ras-related GTPases.…

biochemistry through working in a chemical immunology lab at the Doisy Research Center. The lab’s interests have clinical implications through our work with macrophage migration inhibitory factor, a pro-inflammatory cytokine molecule associated with rheumatoid arthritis. So far, I have been able to help set up experiments, run agarose gel electrophoresis, determine protein and DNA concentration, and perform a bacterial transformation experiment. These experiences have been very satisfying, as I…

A pathogen causes a disease only if it can (1) gain entry, either by penetrating the surface of the skin or by entering through some other portal of entry; (2) attach itself to a host cell and (3) evade the body’s defense mechanisms long enough to produce harmful changes. In this research paper, I will discuss the differences between innate and adaptive immunity along with the chemical and physical factors that are involve in these immunities. It is easy to cluster the structures, cells, and…
