Assessing Benedict XVI's Visit to Auschwitz
Interview With Father Jean Stern
ROME, JUNE 8, 2006 (Zenit) - Benedict XVI's visit to Auschwitz is a continuation of John Paul II's teachings on the particular relationship between God and the Jews, says a priest whose parents died in that camp.
In this interview, held May 28, Father Jean Stern, a Jewish-born French missionary of Our Lady of LaSalette, shared with us his reflections on Benedict XVI's historic visit to Auschwitz during his trip to Poland.
Q: No doubt you followed closely Benedict XVI's visit to Auschwitz. What did you find especially significant about this visit?
Father Stern: The fact that the Holy Father presented himself as a German, saying: "It is a duty before the truth and the just due of all who suffered here, a duty before God, for me to come here as the successor of Pope John Paul II and as a son of the German people, that people over which a ring of criminals rose to power by false promises of future greatness and the recovery of the nation's honor, prominence and prosperity, but also through terror and intimidation, with the result that our people were used and abused as an instrument of their thirst for destruction and power."
Benedict XVI knows the catechism and he knows that the intervention of a deceitful tempter is not an excuse that can make innocent those who have listened to him and followed him. "The serpent deceived me," Eve said after her sin.
On the other hand, the Pope abstained from specifying how many people followed the Nazi power out of conviction [or] weakness and how many, on the contrary, were able to resist heroically. It belongs to God to read consciences and judge them.
Q: Benedict XVI's visit had three stages: Auschwitz I, with the wall of those shot and the bunker of hunger; the Catholic center for dialogue and prayer; and, finally, Birkenau, also called Auschwitz II, a camp specialized in massacres on an industrial scale. Is it significant that the Pope paused at the Catholic center?
Father Stern: That center, with the Carmel which is next to it, manifests a notable openness of the Polish people to others' sufferings.
Of the 6 million Poles who lost their lives during the war, half were Jews, the other half were all, or almost all, baptized Christians. The majority of the latter were led to death by the Nazis.
Although the proportion of non-Jewish victims in relation to the total population is far lower than the proportion of Jewish victims, around 10% in the first case, and 90% in the second, it is in any case huge figures of wounds that have left profound and painful scars on the Polish people.
Openness to sufferings, and also to the problems of others, which the existence of this center represents, seems very positive to me for the future of Europe.
Q: What perception was there at the time of this barbarism?
Father Stern: For many people in France, at least until 1942, the German invader was still the German of 1914-1918.
My family was in the know, in a general way, of Nazi atrocities. My parents died in Auschwitz. But when they climbed into the cattle wagons that took them there, did they have an idea of the "final solution"? I don't know.
Q: What do you think is important to make new generations understand?
Father Stern: Young people must be made to understand that every man is weak at the moral level.
It is tempting for young people to think: "Our fathers have committed abominations, OK. But we have understood it." In fact, today as yesterday, each one must watch over his convictions and his conduct. Otherwise, there is a great risk of being drawn where, in principle, one did not wish to go.
Q: What impressed you most when Benedict XVI spoke about the Jews?
Father Stern: I was impressed by the continuity between his teachings and those of John Paul II. According to this last Pope, God never gave up the Covenant he made with Israel.
The Jewish people, Benedict XVI said at Auschwitz, "by its very existence, is a witness to the God who spoke to humanity and took us to himself," who in Sinai enunciated the criteria that remains valid for eternity.
In the intentions of the Nazis, he added, "by destroying Israel, by the Shoah, they ultimately wanted to tear up the taproot of the Christian faith."

Madonna may be the modern mistress of self-reinvention, but Diana Ross did it first. The Detroit-born singer started with a bouffant in the early '60s as one-third of The Supremes, harmonizing on girl group hits like "You Can't Hurry Love." In the '70s, despite resembling an even more waifish Michael Jackson in drag, Ross played jazz singer Billie Holiday in Lady Sings the Blues and nabbed an Oscar nomination for Best Actress. In the '80s, Ross' hair became the big, bouncy 'fro we all know and love now, while her music career centered on her hit remake of "Why Do Fools Fall in Love" and elbowing former fellow Supreme Mary Wilson out of the spotlight at the Motown Records 25th anniversary special. The '90s saw Ross perform the halftime show at Super Bowl XXX and return to acting with the film Double Platinum (co-starring R&B singer Brandy), while the new millennium found her booking a Supremes reunion tour that died of a case of severely low ticket sales after nine dates, and getting pulled over for drunken driving in Tucson. Her 2007 album, I Love You, peaked at number 32 on the pop charts, and while nobody can predict what Ross will do next, one thing is for certain: She will continue to inspire drag queens almost as much as Cher does.

Whilst the shop has a lot of aquarium supplies I am shocked at how the livestock (fish) are kept. The Betta Fish in particular are kept in tiny pots within a bigger tank that also holds turtles and goldfish. This is totally unsuitable for these fish. They also suggest customers purchase tiny, battery operated tanks that are no more than toys. These are again unsuitable for a tropical fish such as a Betta fish. This sends out the wrong message to those who may be attracted to keep Betta fish as pets. It is a myth that these fish only require tiny tanks. please do research on Betta first

DeAndre Jordan/Photo courtesy of Los Angeles Clippers, NBA.com
DeAndre Jordan started out a bit slowly this season, but he once again leads the league in rebounding with a 12.2 average. He's also averaging 2.45 blocks, fourth in the NBA.
Coach Doc Rivers can't say enough about his 6-foot-11 post
"He's just a great player to have on your team," Rivers said following his team's 110-93 victory at Miami on Thursday. "He's won games without scoring. He's the perfect guy to have on a winning basketball team. He doesn't complain about the ball and all he wants to do is go get it, meaning blocked shots and rebounds. Every team would love a guy like that."
Jordan led the NBA in rebounding a season ago with a 13.6 average. He also averaged 2.48 blocks, which was third in the league.
Jordan is averaging 8.7 points this season after averaging 10.4 in 2013-14.
The Clippers (7-4) are 2-0 on the current seven-game road trip. They next play Sunday at Memphis at 3 p.m. (on Prime Ticket).

Bedford shut down all 22 of its public schools Wednesday for cleaning after a teenager died this week from an antibiotic-resistant staph infection.
The move to close the schools comes after students led the school division superintendent through Staunton River High School to point out what they said were unsanitary conditions. The schools will reopen Thursday.
Staunton River student Ashton Bonds died Monday after being
hospitalized for more than a week as a result of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infection. He was 17.
The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says MRSA
infections are a major public health problem, more widespread than previously thought. Schools in Bedford and elsewhere across the state and nation have reported such infections in recent weeks.

If there is one country that has helped build a Kurdish entity in Iraqi
Kurdistan it is Turkey. This assertion seems paradoxical in view of Ankara's
traditional opposition to such an eventuality in Iraq and the well known
pressures it applied on its allies, especially the United States, not to lend
any support to the Kurds of Iraq because of the possible spillover effects on
its own restive Kurds. Turkey's new stance appears even more paradoxical against
the backdrop of the latest upheavals in the region and their contagious effects
both on its own Kurds and those of Syria.How is one to explain these
paradoxes? First let us have a quick look at the facts on the ground. Since the
1991 Gulf War and much more so after the 2003 Gulf War Turkey has turned itself,
slowly but surely, and against its better judgment, into the lifeline for Iraqi
Kurdistan, which is led by the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG), the
euphemism for a Kurdish state in the making.The slow change in Ankara's
policy towards the KRG was not due to any altruistic considerations but for very
pragmatic, down to earth ones. Immediately after the 1991 Gulf War and the
crushing of the Kurdish uprising which ensued, Turkey was confronted with the
problem of a million Kurdish refugees on its border. Unwilling to burden itself
with another million Kurds, Turkey devised with the Allies the "Provide Comfort"
project for the fleeing Kurds to enable them to go back to their
homes.This plan, together with "the no-fly zone" where the Iraqi army
could not act against the Kurds, as well as the ruptured relations between
Ankara and Baghdad due to the war, set in motion the schizophrenic relations
that would develop between Turkey and the KRG.On the one hand Turkey was
extremely apprehensive of the possible contagious effects of the KRG on its own
Kurds, hence Ankara's attempts to thwart any political and diplomatic gains by
the KRG. On the other hand Ankara did its best to reap the fruits of its
relations with the emerging entity, one of the most important of which were
economic gains. This approach turned the Kurdistan Region into a huge investment
area for Turkish companies whose number reached around 900 by 2012 and amounted
to half of the companies acting in the KRG.To this list one should add
other large business, cultural and social ventures which turned the KRG into an
undeclared Turkish sphere of influence. The net result was that no less than
seven percent of Turkish exports went to the KRG.Ankara's thirst for oil
and gas and the pressure brought to bear on it to stop importing from Iran go a
long way to explain the surprising pipeline deal it cut with the KRG on May 20,
2012, without the approval of the central government in Baghdad. If it
materializes, the deal, which envisaged the building of two oil pipelines and
one gas pipeline from the Kurdistan Region to Turkey, might give further boost
to Kurdish aspirations for independence.Interestingly, the Turkish
Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, Taner Yildiz, declared on that
occasion that "Turkey should also be considered as the Regional Kurdish
Government's gateway to the West."A second important aim for developing
these relations was the hope that the KRG would help in solving Turkey's own
acute Kurdish domestic problem, namely the ongoing attacks which the armed
Turkish Kurdish PKK continued to launch against Turkish state
targets.However, Ankara's hope that the KRG would fight against, or at
least contain the PKK, whose bases are found in Iraqi Kurdistan, was not
fulfilled. The third and perhaps most important consideration was Ankara's need
to attune itself to the region's changing geostrategic map, which pushed it to
act according to the dictum "my enemy's enemy is my friend."The
geostrategic considerations gathered momentum in the past two years due to
several developments, all of which impacted negatively on Turkey's environment
and its foreign policy configurations.Before analyzing these changes it
must be stressed that the stance of the AKP government toward the Kurdish
domestic issue as well as towards the KRG underwent slow transformation, which
distinguished the AKP from earlier Kemalist governments.The geostrategic
changes were quite drastic, including the "Arab Spring," which accelerated the
collapse of the Turkish-Iranian-Syrian axis. Furthermore, the revolution in
Syria not only turned Ankara and Damascus into sworn enemies once again but also
raised the specter of the influx of Syrian refugees. Worse still, it opened the
Pandora's box of Syrian Kurds and their possible collaboration with their
brethren in Turkey, not to speak of the PKK card which Damascus started to
employ once again against Ankara.The withdrawal of the American forces
from Iraq in November 2011 and the vacuum left thereby was another very worrying
development for Turkey, as it enhanced its competition with Iran for filling
this vacuum.Lastly, one should note the deteriorating relations between
Ankara and Baghdad against the background of the Sunni-Shi'ite rivalry in the
region, Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki's growing tilt toward Iran and his
support for Syrian president Bashar al-Assad, as well as the growing personal
antipathy between Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan and Maliki.All
this weakened Ankara's "commitment" to the almost sacred notion of Iraqi unity
and emboldened it in its bilateral ties with the KRG, the most challenging of
which for Baghdad was the oil pipeline deal mentioned above.Turkey's
changing policy towards the KRG and its president Masu'd Barzani found its
expression on the symbolic level as well.Barzani's April visit to Turkey
was a case in point. While in the past Ankara treated Barzani as a mere "head of
tribe," in this most recent visit it accorded him a welcome befitting a head of
state, thus turning him into one of its important allies in the region.
Moreover, in this visit Barzani reiterated publicly the Kurds' right to
self-determination but, interestingly enough, Turkish officials and the media
chose to turn "a deaf ear" to this declaration.Turkey is facing now a
Kurdish problem on all three fronts, which has multiplied its dilemmas but which
has moved it, so it seems, to adopt a flexible and non-conventional policy:
Embracing the KRG so as to contain its own Kurds and Syria's as well. Should
Turkey decide to give Barzani the green light, he would not hesitate to go the
extra mile and declare independence. One thing is certain: Turkey has
willy-nilly helped the Kurdish genie escape from the bottle and it will be very
difficult for Ankara to push it back inside.Prof. Ofra Bengio is head of
the Kurdish Studies Program at the Moshe Dayan Center, Tel Aviv University and
author of The Kurds of Iraq: Building a State within a State.

Taylor Bennett - Crème Brûlée
Artist: Taylor Bennett
Featuring: Lil Herb
Producer: Satchel Stokes
Album: Mainstream Music
Avg Rating: 3.5 ( 2 votes )
Taylor Bennett may have never attended college, but he certainly knows how to get the people going. He's already got a knack for making acronyms for the youth of today like GTFUFUN. But Crème Brûlée, a standout record off the Chicago emcee's new project, is more than just a party anthem. It's a look at another, darker side of Taylor that many may have missed in his prior releases. Due to the negative light mainstream media has placed on Chicago with deplorable names like Chiraq, it's become common knowledge that it's nearly impossible for a large population of the youth to grow up unaffected by the crime in the streets. Today, we get two examples in Taylor Bennett and fellow Chicago emcee, Lil Herb. The disruptive beat from Satchel Stokes also is in line with the perilous nature of the Windy City. To hear more of what Taylor Bennett envisions popular music to sound like, check out the full Mainstream Music project, which is available for stream and download at the Booth.

Aldo Rainoldi Inferno Riserva 2009
Aldo Rainoldi - Lombardy - Italy - Valtellina
Despite less than ideal climatic conditions, featuring storms which threatened an otherwise perfect year, most parts of California had an excellent year for viticulture. Chardonnays and Sauvignon Blancs were picked at optimum ripeness, and Californian white wine was just about as good as it could be. Surprises and overcoming difficulties summed up much of the United States' wine industry in 2009, and many of the results from Oregon, Washington State and all over California speak for themselves, with the flagship Cabernet Sauvignon grapes having developed healthy, thick skins and thus plenty of character and distinction. Elsewhere in the New World, South Africa had a very good year in 2009, and wineries across the cape of the African continent are proclaiming it a truly great vintage. In most of Europe, fine weather and punctual ripening periods produced some excellent wines, with many of the best coming out of France's Bordeaux and the surrounding regions. Merlot had an exceptionally good year in France, and wineries are proclaiming that the 2009 Merlot harvest was one of the best in living memory. Indeed, across most of France, ripening was relatively even, and red wine grapes such as Cabernet Franc, Syrah and others were reportedly highly characterful, with plenty of the required tannin levels with which to make high quality wines. Italy, too, had a very good 2009. Piedmont reported extremely favorable conditions throughout 2009, and their signature Nebbiolo grapes were more or less perfect when harvested, having benefited from the slight drop in temperature at the end of their ripening period. Veneto, too, had an enviable year, producing superb Pinot Grigio and Chardonnay wines in 2009.
The dusty purple grapes of the Nebbiolo variety are widely considered to be amongst the finest in the world, and hold many unique characteristics which have secured their place in wine making history. Indeed, almost all of the most respected and sought after red wines of Italy are made using this grape varietal, and it wasn't long before several New World wineries started experimenting with the fruit of this special vine, too. Nebbiolo grapes are renowned for their ability to age beautifully, with their strong and dense tannins mellowing out and becoming more balanced inside the oak. Alongside this, they hold some of the most complex and exciting flavors to be found in any grape, which range from gorgeous notes of black truffle, to aromatic violets and tobacco tones.
The north westerly region of Lombardy in Italy has long been recognized as a highly important center for viticulture, and despite the region being dominated by industry and huge cities such as Milan, it also has mile upon mile of beautiful, unspoilt green space ideal for growing vines. For centuries, the shores of the stunning and expansive Lake Garda have been home to many of Italy's finest vineyards, where the temperature is cooler and more suitable for slowly ripening grapes of exceedingly high quality. Today, Lombardy primarily produces superbly crisp and flavorful white wines made from the Trebbiano varietal grape. However, recent decades have seen much successful experimentation with Bordeaux varietals such as Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinot Noir, making this a thoroughly modern wine region, albeit one steeped in history and tradition.
It isn't difficult to understand why Italy is famed not just for the quality of its wines, but also for the vast variety and range of characteristics found in the wines there. The terrain of the country varies wildly, from the lush rolling green hills and valley of Tuscany, to the sun drenched rocky coasts of Sicily, the mountainous and alpine regions of the north, and the marshy lowlands of the east. Italy really does have a little bit of everything. Combine this huge range of landscapes with an almost perfect climate for grape cultivation, and you have a country seemingly designed for viticultural excellence. The results speak for themselves, and it is clear to see that wine has become an inseparable part of Italian culture as a result of its abundance and brilliance. Each village, city and region has a local wine perfectly matched with the cuisine of the area, and not an evening passes without the vast majority of Italian families raising a glass of locally sourced wine with pride and pleasure.

Boy steals $4,000 from parents for candy
Updated On: Nov 12 2012 11:08:28 AM EST
How long CAN you ground a kid for, anyway?
A 9-year-old Ukrainian boy stole his parents' life savings -- nearly $4,000 -- and blew it all at a candy store in Konotop, Russian and international news agency RIA Novosti reported.
"The disappearance was first spotted by the father, a shift worker who had just returned home," a local police officer told the news agency. "He opened the stash and saw that it was empty."
The money wasn't really that hard to find.
According to authorities, the boy's parents kept their life savings under the sofa.
The hard part was converting the dollars and euros into local Ukrainian currency, which the boy recruited an adult accomplice for, RIA Novosti reported.

Thunderstorms dropped almost half an inch of rain at Dallas/Fort Worth Airport on Friday morning, and more storms were expected the rest of the day. Skies could be clear, however, for the start of high school football."We'll probably get a break this evening," said Matt Bishop, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Fort Worth. "There is a chance of some lingering showers this evening, so just check before you go."High school games are scheduled across North Texas tonight, and a full slate of college games on are tap for Saturday, including defending national champion Florida State taking on Oklahoma State at AT&T Stadium in Arlington.ESPN's GameDay crew will be broadcasting from Sundance Square Plaza throughout the day Friday. The big college preview show is Saturday morning, when a crowd of between 5,000 and 10,000 is expected. The rain should have moved out by then; forecasts call for only a 20 percent chance of rain Saturday, with highs in the mid-90s.More showers, however, were likely Friday afternoon."There's a little more to come today," Bishop said. "We could get a couple of rounds and some more this afternoon."The first line of thunderstorms moved into Tarrant County about 3 a.m. Friday and moved slowly across the region.By 8 a.m. four-tenths of an inch had fallen at D/FW Airport, bringing the monthly total to about 4.3 inches. That's 2.7 inches above normal for August but still about 8 inches below normal for the year."We've had some rain across a good portion of the region," Bishop said.The storms intensified and slowed as they moved east, dumping almost two inches of rain in the Terrell area and creating concerns for potential flooding.The storm systems should keep afternoon high temperatures in the low 90s, and depending on cloud cover, could make for a downright pleasant night for watching football — or perhaps for catching some live music at the Bedford Blues & BBQ Festival, which begins at 6 p.m. at 2000 Forest Ridge Drive, across from Bedford City Hall.

Generation investments to feed South Africa's power hungerBack

The company's project pipeline includes new coal-fired baseload facilities, gas-fired and pumped-storage peaking facilities, nuclear and renewable possibilities, as well as the refurbishment and recommissioning of existing plants.
For years South Africa's electricity production capacity was in excess of the country's requirements, owing to a period of overinvestment by Eskom, which eliminated the need to build new power plants, and also saw the company achieving the position of the world's lowest-cost electricity producer.
However, the time of possessing excess generating capacity has passed, and South Africa is in urgent need of additional power generating capacity. Already, the country has faced large-scale power outages and load-shedding events, and forecasts indicate that South Africa's power situation will remain tight for the next five to eight years if immediate interventions are not made.
Nevertheless, owing to long lead times for new baseload capacity, many of Eskom's investments will only start contributing to the national grid in the longer term and, as a result, a number of alternative solutions to the energy crisis are also being pursued.
One such alternative is the involvement of independent power producers (IPPs). In an effort to facilitate such involvement, the Department of Minerals and Energy (DME) is spearheading an IPP project, and Eskom has invited tenders for small-scale IPP projects and is expected to issue a tender for large-scale IPP capacity in the coming months. Cross-border IPP oppor- tunities are also under investigation, and Eskom is pursuing the development of independent cogeneration facilities. Additionally, power group Independent Power South Africa (Ipsa) is investi- gating the development of additional power generation projects.
While Eskom is the source of about 95% of the electricity used in the country, and about 60% of the electricity consumed on the African continent, the private sector is set to play an increasingly important role in the generation of electricity in South Africa in coming years. IPPs are expected to generate 30% of the additional power capacity required by the country going forward.
South Africa already has several licensed IPPs, the most substantial of which is Gauteng's Kelvin power station, which has a 600-MW capacity, although currently less than 150 MW of this capacity is available. Other licensed IPPs include the Darling Independent Power Producer (Darlipp), which is in the process of establishing a commercial wind farm, which will ultimately have a capacity of 13 MW, to be developed over two phases, with first production starting in 2008; and Bethlehem Hydro, which is installing 7 MW of hydropower capacity, in the Free State. Power produced by Darlipp will be sold to the City of Cape Town, in terms of a power purchase agreement (PPA), while the power produced by Bethlehem Hydro will be sold to the town of Bethlehem, also under a PPA.
There are also several IPPs operating in South Africa in the production of power for particular private companies. For example, the first IPP licensed in South Africa was intended to develop a small power station in KwaZulu-Natal to supply power to paper company Mondi's Durban paper mill, and Ipsa supplies power to rubber manufacturer Karbochem.
Other companies that make use of privately generated power are Sasol, Tongaat Hulett, Friedenheim and TSB Sugar.
In addition, South Africa has about 16 municipal power generators, with a combined capacity of 1 841 MW.
The availability of significant IPP capacity, however, is a number of years away, and it seems that, in the short term, one of the best options for alleviating the electricity crisis lies not in the supply of additional generation capacity but in limiting the demand for existing capacity.
As a result, Eskom has rolled out a demand-side management and energy efficiency programme, including the pursuit of significant demand- reduction targets through strategies such as power rationing and the development of regulations to prohibit wasteful practices. In addition, Eskom has indicated that it will delay the signing of new electricity supply contracts for projects over a certain size for a period of four to six months from March this year.
The South African government has long been cognisant of the fact that the country would face an electricity supply shortage. Policy uncertainty and planning confusion contributed to the fact that the situation was not avoided.
Despite the fact that government was aware of the impending situation, the extent and timing of the problem that unfolded in early 2008 was unexpected, and was largely a consequence of the fact that a large percentage of Eskom's existing capacity was unavailable for supply, owing to planned maintenance, unplanned breakdowns and reduced output linked to coal- supply problems.
The crisis has also been attributed to demand growth, and, certainly, gross domestic product (GDP) growth has been higher than the 4% on which many of Eskom's expansion plans were based. However, the fact that government was aware of the problem as far back as 1998 shows that demand growth alone has not caused the crisis.
The potential impact of the crisis on the South African economy is significant, with the situation having the ability to damage consumer, business and foreign investor confidence, with implications for GDP growth, employment, capital formation, capital inflows, the rand, inflation and interest rates.

The outer membrane of influenza virus is attached to a liposome by two different techniques. In addition, one of the techniques allows the entrapment of intact virus, usually one virus per liposome. The techniques can be performed with either influenza virus A or B.
1. A spikoliposome particle comprising a liposome having attached to its outer surface the intact outer membrane layer of influenza virus having intact spikes attached by having been reacted with both a positively-charged fatty acid amine of from 12 to 20 carbon atoms and a phospholipid.
2. A liposome particle containing entrapped therein an intact whole influenza virus.
3. A spikoliposome according to claim 1 wherein the virus is influenza type A or influenza type B.
4. A liposome according to claims 1 or 2 wherein the virus is influenza type A or influenza type B.
By attempting to purify influenza virus as much as possible, its undesirable side effects have been reduced but at the same time its antigenic effect also has been reduced.
It is an object of the present invention to increase the antigenicity of an influenza virus preparation. Another object is to reduce the toxicity of the influenza virus. Another object is to provide a simpler and more economical process for purifying influenza virus and isolating antigenic subunits. A further object is to provide a particle wherein the outer membrane of influenza virus is attached to a liposome. Still another object is to provide a liposome having an intact whole influenza virus inside. Yet another object is to provide a method for preparing such particles. These and other objects of the present invention will be apparent from the following description.
The outer membrane of influenza virus A or B is attached to a liposome by (1) reaction with a mixture of a phospholipid such as dioleoylphostidylcholine and a positively charged amino-containing surfactant such as stearylamine or (2) reaction with a positively charged amino-containing surfactant such as stearylamine followed by reaction with a phospholipid such as dioleoylphosphotidylcholine. In addition by the first technique some virus is entrapped inside some of the liposomes, usually one virus per liposome.
The present invention relates to influenza vaccine and, more particularly, to a subunit influenza vaccine wherein the outer membrane of the influenza virus is attached to a liposome. One technique, in addition, allows whole virus to be entrapped inside the liposome. A liposome is a continuous lipid surface, either unilamellar or multilamellar, enclosing a three-dimensional space.
It has been found according to the present invention that the outer membrane of the influenza virus can be removed from the rest of the influenza virus particle and reattached to the outer surface of a liposome containing phospholipid and an amino-containing surfactant which has a positive charge. The viral spikes of the influenza virus remain intact in this process. The resulting particle, a liposome having fused thereto the outer membrane of the influenza virus with intact spikes, has been named a spikoliposome.
The liposome is prepared from either a natural or synthetic phosphocholine-containing lipid having either two fatty acid chains of from 12 to 20 carbon atoms, or one fatty acid chain of from 12 to 20 carbon atoms and a second chain of at least 8 carbon atoms. In general, synthetic lipids are preferred as they have fewer impurities. The synthetic lipid may be a phosphatidylcholine containing two fatty acid side chains from 12 to 20 carbon atoms. Some suitable synthetic lipids are, for example:
dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine, and
while some suitable natural lipids are, for example:
phosphatidylcholine, and
The positively charged amino-containing surfactant may be a fatty acid amine of from 12 to 20 carbon atoms such as, for example, cetylamine and stearylamine, or a salt of an amino-containing surfactant such as, for example,
cetyl benzyldimethyl ammonium chloride,
N-hexadecylpyridinium chloride,
hexadecyltrimethyl ammonium bromide, and cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide.
In preparing the spikoliposome virus particle of the present invention, the positively charged amino-containing surfactant and the phospholipid are dried together. The influenza virus in aqueous medium (water or low molarity buffer, pH 6.8-7.4), is then added under liposome forming conditions, such as agitation, e.g., bath sonication for from about 2 to about 8 minutes, to form positively charged liposomes to which the outer membrane of the virus is fused. The resulting particle is a spikoliposome, that is, a liposome having fused thereto the outer membrane of influenza virus with the spikes intact. In the same preparation there also exists liposomes having no spikes fused thereto but which contain usually one entrapped intact influenza virus per liposome.
In a second technique the virus is reacted directly with the positively charged surfactant. This, as an aqueous (water only) suspension, is then added to the dry phospholipid and the preparation agitated, e.g., by bath sonication for from about 2 to about 8 minutes, to form positively charged liposomes to which the outer membrane of the virus is fused. The resulting particle is a spikoliposome, that is, a liposome having fused thereto the outer membrane of influenza virus with the spikes intact.
The preparation containing both types of particles may be administered as an influenza vaccine but, if desired, the particles may be separated by centrifugation and column chromatography, and administered individually as an influenza vaccine.
The following examples illustrate the present invention without, however, limiting the same thereto.
Dioleoylphosphatidylcholine (20 mg in 0.8 ml chloroform) and stearylamine (3 mg dry powder dissolved in 1-2 ml dry chloroform) are mixed together for 3-5 minutes in a 25 ml round bottom or pear-shaped flask and then dried down in vacuo at 37� C. Immediately after drying, dry nitrogen gas is blown into the flask and 3.5 ml of the influenza virus preparation is added slowly. The virus preparation previously has been dialyzed aseptically in 1/4" cellulose dialysis tubing for 18 hours at 2�-4� C. against three charges of 1 liter each of 0.063 M sodium phosphate buffer (pH 7.0) and contains approximately 560 CCA/ml. Nitrogen gas is continuously bubbled through the solution which is placed in the center of a small (13.5 cm�13.5 cm) ultrasonic cleaner bath (Cole-Parmer) filled 6 cm-8 cm deep with water which contains 1 ml of Triton X-100 as detergent. The cleaner bath operates at 50-55 KHz and is maintained at 20�-22� C. by addition of ice. The solution is sonicated, with occasional swirling of the contents, for 7 minutes. After sonication the contents of the flask are transferred to a 6 ml serum bottle and capped with a rubber stopper. The sonicated material is stored at 2�-4� C. The preparation is stable for at least five months.
Stearylamine (3 mg) plus ethanol (0.4 ml) are heated to 55�-60� C. for 1-2 minutes until the stearylamine is completely soluble. Then deionized water (2.6 ml) which has been heated to 55�-60� C. is slowly added with swirling. At this stage the solution may be opalescent, but there is no precipitate. Pure dry nitrogen gas is bubbled through the solution for 10 minutes until the solution is cooled to 28�-34� C. Then 0.9 ml of influenza virus which has been dialyzed as in Example 1 and containing approximately 2200 CCA/ml is slowly added at room temperature and nitrogen gas bubbled through for a further 4 minutes. No obvious precipitate is present. Next, the virus-stearylamine preparation is slowly added to a dried down preparation of dioleoylphosphatidylcholine (20 mg) in a 25 ml round bottom or pear-shaped glass flask. While continuously bubbling nitrogen gas through, the preparation is sonicated for 7 minutes in a Cole-Parmer ultrasonic cleaner bath at 50-55 KHz. The temperature of the cleaner bath is maintained at 20�-22� C. by the addition of ice. During sonication the contents of the flask are occasionally swirled. After sonication the contents of the flask are transferred to a 6 ml serum bottle, capped with a rubber stopper, and stored at 2�-4� C. where the preparation is stable for at least three months. The final concentration of virus is approximately 560 CCA/ml.
The spikoliposome preparation of Example 2 is compared with aqueous influenza vaccine, dialyzed aqueous influenza vaccine, each containing New Jersey type A influenza virus and a vaccine consisting of the spikoliposome preparation of Example 2 without virus. Each is administered to a group of guinea pigs, 8 animals per test, at a virus concentration of 100 CCA units per dose, and the geometric mean hemagglutination-inhibition titer is calculated on day of injection as well as 21 and 42 days following injection. The following results are obtained.

Spikoliposome preparations prepared according to Example 2 using type A Victoria and type B Hong Kong influenza virus and various lipids are administered to a group of 8 mice and the arithmetic mean hemagglutination inhibition titer calculated 42 days following injection with the following results. An aqueous influenza vaccine without spikoliposomes is used as control.
