Dual Specificity Phosphatase 3
a dual specificity phosphatase subtype that plays a role in intracellular signal transduction by inactivating mitogen-activated protein kinases. it has specificity for extracellular signal-regulated map kinases.Smallpox Vaccine
a vaccinia virus vaccine used for immunization against smallpox. it is now recommended only for laboratory workers exposed to smallpox virus. certain countries continue to vaccinate those in the military service. rare complications most often associated with older generation smallpox vaccines include vaccinia, secondary bacterial infections, and encephalomyelitis. because monkeypox virus and smallpox virus are both orthopoxvirus and are closely related smallpox vaccines provide effective cross-protection against monkeypox (https://www.cdc.gov/poxvirus/monkeypox/clinicians/smallpox-vaccine.html).Vaccinia

the type species of orthopoxvirus, related to cowpox virus, but whose true origin is unknown. it has been used as a live vaccine against smallpox. it is also used as a vector for inserting foreign dna into animals. rabbitpox virus is a subspecies of vaccinia virus.

Patient Education
Herpes Simplex
Herpes is an infection that is caused by a herpes simplex virus (HSV). Oral herpes causes cold sores around the mouth or face. Genital herpes affects the genitals, buttocks or anal area. Genital herpes is a sexually transmitted disease (STD). It affects the genitals, buttocks or anal area. Other herpes infections can affect the eyes, skin, or other parts of the body. The virus can be dangerous in newborn babies or in people with weak immune systems.
There are two types of HSV:
- HSV type 1 most commonly causes cold sores. It can also cause genital herpes.
- HSV type 2 is the usual cause of genital herpes, but it also can infect the mouth.
HSV spreads through direct contact. Some people have no symptoms. Others get sores near the area where the virus has entered the body. They turn into blisters, become itchy and painful, and then heal.
Most people have outbreaks several times a year. Over time, you get them less often. Medicines to help your body fight the virus can help lessen symptoms and decrease outbreaks.
