A possible cause of acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) and other new diseases.

An hypothesis is proposed to explain the surge of new diseases appearing in the world. Mass immunization with live viral vaccines increases the probability of genetic recombination between live vaccine viruses and between live vaccine viruses and other viruses. Perhaps this is the reason for origination of new diseases within the last twenty years. Nucleic acid hybridization techniques might be used to test the hypothesis.

DNA ligase: a site for the immunological destruction of cancer cells.

An hypothesis is presented which could lead to cancer treatment by passive immunotherapy. It is based on the specificity of antigen-antibody reactions. Essential enzymes produced by cancer cells which are involved in the replication and invasiveness of cancer might be nullified by such treatment.
