Effects of swine flu (H1N1) vaccine on albino rats

Abstract: The pandemic flu (2009) is a global outbreak of a new strain of H1N1 influenza virus that referred as "swine flu". The 2009 flu pandemic vaccines (H1N1 vaccines) are the biological preparation of influenza vaccines that have been developed to protect and improve immunity against the pandemic H1N1/09 virus. Squalene has been added to vaccine as immunologic adjuvant to stimulate the immune system, increase the response to the vaccine and reduce amount of usage vaccine. Thimerosal has been added to some vaccines … Show more

“…H1N1 vaccine can show adverse effects due to mixing the vaccine with adjuvants (e.g., squalene) in order to enhance antigen specific immune responses, as well as with preservatives (e.g., thimerosal) in order to prevent bacterial or fungal contamination ( 25 ). This leads to mercury induced cytotoxicity through its degradation and metabolism with ethyl mercury formation ( 25 ), and subsequently, according to Sanfeliuet al ( 25 , 32 ), production of reactive oxygen species. This results in apoptosis through induction of mitochondrial permeability transition, S phase arrest, and caspase 3 activation ( 27 ).…”

“…This is due to promotion of Fas agonists that induce hepatic chemokines and liver inflammation by the apoptotic hepatocytes ( 48 ), since the intense caspase 3 activity and processing through Fas or TNF receptors stimulation characterize the apoptotic cells ( 17 , 22 ). In addition, according to Fatma et al ( 25 ) and Viera 2001 ( 29 ), squalene as an adjuvant component of the H1N1 vaccine was reported to induce pathologic reactions including tissue necrosis, intense inflammation and granulomatous lesion. Against that, Martin et al, 2012 ( 21 ) mentioned that death receptor-mediated apoptosis is a non-inflammatory condition.…”
