effects of injecting human cells
 

Please don't debate baby vs. cell or abortion vs. pro-life on this thread.

I can't figure out a title that isn't inflammatory to someone while still getting people interested in the topic, so first things first-I am deeply sorry to anyone to whom this topic of discussion offends or provokes in a way they dislike or disagree with, or in any way pushes your buttons.

Let me try this again-
IF human cells are used to create vaccinations,

http://www.cdc.gov/nip/vacsafe/conce.../humancell.htm

Is it true that whenever you introduce one human's cells into another person, there exists the possibility of rejection by the host person which can lead to complications? Does that apply in this case?

I would be interested in both short term and long term complications, especially from anyone with a medical background or personal experiences with organ donation.

Possibly someone could offer some educational insight on if this and if there are any possible health complications due to the source being used.

Again, please don't debate baby vs. cell or abortion vs. pro-life on this thread.

Thank you for your consideration--

I had some human cells with my fries at lunch. They were yummy.

Vaccines are meant to be attacked by your body. You give your body dead (or weak) disease cells and your body's immune system attacks the cells thus creating a strong immune response that will prevent you from getting X disease because your body already has T-cells to fight it, or perhaps more accurately it will be able to recreate the T-cells. I don't know that there's really a threat then from human cells being included in this vaccine except that you would not be able to accept a transplant from said human (which is moot since said "human" is not exactly walking around) because your body is primed to attack it. Maybe.

I'm not even sure that would be a problem.

If I do recall (and that means reading the article a third time) they're using stem cells. There should be no issue with rejection etc. in that manner.
If a person is allergic to a vaccine it'll be a different component. (For instance, I haven't had an MMR since I was 11, I'm very allergic to it.)
I don't think this is an issue.
Perhaps AKA_Monet could also spill a little on the subject, after her recent discussion about cloning in another thread.

With vaccines you are not injecting the actuall cells. It is an extract from the cells. The cells are used for propagation methods to grow enough of the vaccine to make the injection. Now my training is in Molecular Genetics not Virology but cell culture is a very common thing used in biomedical research. There are places were you can just order any cell line, human, mouse, rat, fly etc. Each cell line is used for different purposes.

Thank you, BaylorBean. I really appreciate your insights. Would there be any effects given the propagation methods that might not show up immediately that would show up in the long-term or is that an unknown?
