Vaegen: Frequently Asked Questions
1. What's Vaegen? The presence of certain genes may be a factor in vaccine adverse events. "Vaegen" was created by us to represent a susceptibility gene associated with vaccine adverse events and has been proven in the reporting of vaccine adverse events to cause the occurrence of certain adverse events. 2. How is name "Vaegen" generated? Dr. jiangan Xie originally coined the name. In Xie's original idea, the 'vae' part of the name meant vaccine adverse events, and the 'gen' meant genes or elements. Thus, the term implies that a vaccine adverse event occurs when the expression of a gene leads to the weakening and induction of protective immunity after vaccination. It's just hard to find a word that means so much. Hence the new name "Vaegen". 3. Why is the study of Vaegen important? The study of Vaegen is important for several reasons, including: (1) Vaegen-specific patterns of all and different groups of Vaegen may be identified. The results may help rational live attenuated vaccine development. (2) The fundamental host immune responses to different Vaegen can be systematically studied, leading to the better understanding of basic host immune defense mechanism. (3) Support systematic study of fundamental host-vaccine and host-pathogen interactions.
