Libby Montana Asbestos: Cause of a Rare Cancer
October 14th, 2008 | by admin |In a report to the cancer conference, Carbone and his colleagues wrote that “The hamster model represents a unique and attractive experimental model with which to study the molecular mechanisms that lead to mesothelioma in man comprising of libby montana asbestos.” Carbone, Claudia Cicala and Franca Pompetti predicted that “it will clearly be of interest to examine human DNA for [the presence of] SV40 DNA sequences.”SV40 contaminated much of the first oral polio vaccine. It got into the vaccine because the live, attenuated polio virus was grown on kidney cells from African green monkeys, natural carriers of the SV40 virus. The contamination was not discovered until thousands of people across the nation had taken the vaccine.
