This image is a plasmid map, also sometimes called a vector map. Plasmids are small, circular DNA molecules that are separate from a cell’s chromosomal DNA and are frequently used in molecular biology and genetic engineering. This particular map, labeled as Pbiv1_WM_k141_107, represents a specifically designed plasmid that is 7810 base pairs (bp) long.

What do I see in this image?

The plasmid map visually represents the different parts of the plasmid, including genes, regulatory elements, and other functional sequences. Here’s a breakdown of what you’re seeing:

  • Circular Representation: The plasmid is depicted as a circle, reflecting its circular DNA structure. The blue shaded area represents the DNA plasmid backbone. The numbers around the circle mark the base pair positions.
  • Arrows: The colored arrows inside the circle represent the genes or coding sequences:
    • Purple Arrow: This is labeled “Spike (Omicron)” and represents the gene encoding for the Spike protein from the Omicron variant of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. This is a key component used in some vaccines.
    • Orange Arrow: This represents the “NeoR/KanR” gene which is a selectable marker, specifically genes that confer resistance to the antibiotics Neomycin (NeoR) and Kanamycin (KanR), and would be used to test if the plasmid has been taken up by cells.
    • Green Arrows: There are several green arrows, most notably there is one before the spike gene representing the “T7 Promoter with SNP”. Promoters are DNA sequences that tell the cellular machinery when to start transcribing the DNA into RNA. This promoter sequence with a single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), used for regulating gene expression. There are also several arrows within the blue portion, which represents the regulatory elements of the plasmid.
  • Labeled Regions/Boxes:
    • Poly A: Labeled ‘Poly A’, these are sequences are added at the end of the mRNA molecule, they’re important for the stability and translation of mRNA. There are two identified Poly A signals on this plasmid.
    • Linearization Site: This is a region on the plasmid where it can be cut open using a restriction enzyme to make it linear for certain cloning or experimental processes.
    • f1 ori is a specific origin of replication. Ori is a short for origin of replication.
    • AmpR promoter another type of promoter. The AmpR represents the ampicillin resistance gene.
    • HSV TK poly(A) signal: HSV TK refers to the Herpes Simplex Virus thymidine kinase gene, and it is followed by its polyadenylation (poly(A)) signal, similar to above, its used for proper processing of mRNA.
    • SV40 promoter: A promoter sequence derived from the Simian Virus 40. This is used to drive the expression of the genes in the plasmid.
    • SV40 enhancer: An enhancer sequence derived from the Simian Virus 40. Enhancers are DNA sequences that help promote gene expression by enhancing binding of transcription factors.
  • Restriction Enzyme Sites: The short names outside the circle are restriction enzyme sites, labeled with the base pair number they are at. These are locations on the DNA that can be cut using specific restriction enzymes, which are used for manipulating the DNA. Examples include: * EcoNI (6930) * BamHI (4537) * SfiI (1391) * BsaI (2605)
  • Other Labels:
    • Spike Probe: This label indicates a region where a probe can bind to detect or measure the presence of the Spike gene.
    • Ori Probe: Indicates a region where a probe can bind for detection related to the origin of replication.
    • Pbiv1_WM_k141_107 7810 bp: This is the label of the plasmid and also notes the basepair length.

Introduction: Unpacking the Complexities of Vaccine Safety

The world of vaccines can sometimes feel like a maze of complex science and heated debates. Recently, concerns have been raised about the presence of a virus called SV40 and the potential for prion diseases in connection with mRNA COVID-19 vaccines. These concerns, brought to light by experts like Dr. Ryan Cole, Kevin McKernan, Maryanne Demasi PhD, and Dr. Kevin McCairn, have led to important questions about vaccine safety.

This article aims to break down these complex issues into easy-to-understand terms. We’ll explore what SV40 is, discuss prion diseases, and examine the evidence that has sparked this debate, so you can be informed and make your own decisions about health.

Understanding SV40: What is it?

SV40: A Blast from the Past

Let’s start with SV40, or Simian Virus 40. It’s a virus that was first discovered in the 1960s in monkey cells used to produce polio vaccines. This led to some batches of polio vaccines being accidentally contaminated with SV40 from 1955 to 1963. While this contamination issue was later fixed through improved testing and manufacturing methods, the legacy of SV40 remains relevant because, it was discovered in more recent vaccines.

  • SV40’s Potential Impact: This virus is known to cause tumors in lab animals by interfering with key cellular controls, like the p53 and retinoblastoma protein. These proteins play vital roles in preventing uncontrolled cell growth, which can lead to cancer.

  • SV40 and Human Health: Even though SV40 has been removed from vaccine production, traces of SV40 DNA have been found in certain human cancers, such as mesothelioma, brain tumors, and bone cancer. More concerningly, it has been found in the blood of some people who have received vaccinations, sparking a new wave of concern and requiring more research to understand its presence. (Read here ↗)

  • SV40 in mRNA Vaccines: Recent findings of SV40 promoter sequences in mRNA vaccines, the part of the DNA that directs gene expression, has caused people to be concerned about the potential for DNA integration and the long-term effects of these vaccines.

  • A Historical Lesson: The early contamination of polio vaccines with SV40 remains a stark reminder of the importance of vaccine safety testing and thorough quality control procedures.
