"Know, brazil, I'm not a coward. I'm not afraid of injections ... "- he once read crouches of a poem about the suffering of young primates during vaccinations.

But in the future everything can change and vaccines will be produced in the form of tablets.

In Cardiff University, the scholars approached the creation of such vaccines with an interesting side.

The main obstacle to creating vaccines in tablets is their instability in the human gastrointestinal tract. The usual vaccines simply do not have the chance to cause any response of the immune system, they are simply simply digested, looking at the constituent parts.

And doctors from Britain decided to create synthetic vaccines using D-amino acids. These are mirror reflections of natural L-amino acids, which stand all the way through the stomach and are excreted by the kidneys. In this case, vaccines with right-sided proteins induce a response of the immune system.

Experiments are still on mice and influenza viruses. The results are encouraging.

Why is this development important?
If the business comes to a commercial result and it is not buried under the cloth of concerns producing classical types of vaccines, then humanity will have more chances of survival. According to analysts, the war in this century will go on constantly, capturing more and more local areas. For the next redistribution of the world has already started. And this - epidemics, infections and other unhappy things among the civilian population, driven by war from the habitual environment.

And the organization of vaccinations in such conditions is very complicated - staff is needed, conditions are needed. Tableting the same form allows in the shortest possible time to provide medical care to a large number of people.
