We are especially excited by the grant early in the quarter of the first patent covering our engineered swinepox virus vector. |
In 1789 there was an outbreak of swinepox and Jenner inoculated three people with pustules from this infection. |
In the course of his researches he was led to conclude that swinepox, as well as cowpox, was only a variety of smallpox. |
Sometime after Jenner had used the swinepox matter, he began to talk among his medical neighbours of using cowpox matter. |
He inoculated his eldest son with the matter of swinepox and produced a disease similar to a very mild smallpox. |
