Sabin

Albert Bruce Sabin (August 26, 1906 - March 3, 1993) is a renowned Polish-American medical researcher who is best-known for having developed the hugely successful oral vaccine for Polio.

Born in 1906 in Bialystok, Russia (now Poland), he emigrated in 1921 to America with his family.

In 1930, he became a naturalized citizen of the United States.

Sabin studied medicine at New York University and developed an intense interest in research, especially in the area of infectious diseases.

By 1946 he had become the head of Pediatric Research at the University of Cincinnati.

With the menace of polio growing, he and other researchers, most notably Jonas Salk in Pittsburgh, sought a vaccine to prevent or to ameliorate this illness.

Salk's so-called "killed" vaccine was tested and released for use in 1955.

It was effective in preventing most of the complications of polio, but did not prevent the initial infection from occurring.

Sabin's breakthrough occurred some five years later, when the United States Public Health Service endorsed his "live" virus vaccine for polio in 1961.

His product, prepared with cultures of attentuated polio viruses, could be taken orally, and prevented the actual contraction of the disease.

It was this biologic which effectively eliminated polio from the United States.

Albert Sabin (26 Agosto 1906 - 3 Marzo 1993) è un famoso ricercatore medico polacco-americano meglio noto per aver sviluppato il vaccino orale per la poliomielite, che ebbe un successo straordinario.

	With the menace of polio growing, he and other researchers, most notably Jonas Salk in Pittsburgh, sought a vaccine to prevent or to ameliorate this illness.	Con la minaccia della poliomielite in continua espansione, Sabin ed altri ricercatori, più in particolare Jonas Salk a Pittsburgh, si adoperarono per cercare un vaccino per prevenire o curare questa malattia.
	Salk's so-called "killed" vaccine was tested and released for use in 1955.	Il cosiddetto vaccino di Salk basato su virus previamente uccisi fu testato e commercializzato nel 1955.
	It was effective in preventing most of the complications of polio, but did not prevent the initial infection from occurring.	Quel vaccino era efficace nel prevenire la maggior parte delle complicazioni della poliomielite ma non impediva che avvenisse l'infezione iniziale.
	Sabin's breakthrough occurred some five years later, when the United States Public Health Service endorsed his "live" virus vaccine for polio in 1961.	Il passo avanti decisivo di Sabin avvenne circa cinque anni dopo quando nel 1961 il Servizio di Sanità Pubblica degli Stati Uniti approvò il suo vaccino per la polio basato su virus "vivi".
	His product, prepared with cultures of attentuated polio viruses, could be taken orally, and prevented the actual contraction of the disease.	Il suo prodotto, preparato con culture di virus della polio attenuati, poteva essere somministrato oralmente e preveniva di fatto la contrazione della malattia.
	It was this biologic which effectively eliminated polio from the United States.	Fu questo prodotto biologico* che sradicò davvero la poliomielite dagli Stati Uniti.
