Scientists Developed the Vaccine Bapineuzumab jab to Cure Alzheimer

Scientists, in the last week of April 2011, developed a new vaccine named Bapineuzumab jab, which is effective against the Alzheimer’s disease not only in stopping but also reversing the damage caused to the brain due to the disease. 

At present, whatever drugs are available for the treatment of Alzheimer’s, their effect quickly  starts weaning off and the disease damages the brain.

Contrary to that, the Bapineuzumab jab, was discovered to be effective in preventing and reversing the build-up of Amyloid.  It will slow down the progress of the disease. Amyloid is the name of the toxic protein that clogs the brain in Alzheimer’s. Moreover, it destroys important connections between cells.

The three drug firms namely Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson and Elan Corporation are involved in the making of vaccine. The testing process of the vaccine Bapineuzumap jab is likely to be completed towards the end of 2012.
