Lyubov Yablochnik (Russian: Любовь Марковна Яблочник; December 8, 1928 – September 22, 2013) - Soviet and Russian veterinary microbiologist.
Life and career[edit]
Lyubov Yablochnik was born in 1928 in Bryansk, Soviet Union. In 1951 she graduated from the Moscow State University of Food Production and worked as veterinary physician in Krasnoyarsk Krai until 1954.
In 1957—1960 Lyubov was junior research fellow in M.P.Chumakov Institute of Poliomyelitis and VIral Encephalitides (Moscow, USSR). In 1960—1963 she worked as microbiologist engineer at Moskhimfarmpreparaty OAO Im. N.A. Semashko.
At 34, when Lyubov was already the mother of two children, L. M. Yablochnik decided to engage in scientific work. To this end, she completed a full course of microbiology at the eponymous department of the First Moscow State Medical University, and in 1963 she entered the postgraduate program of the All-Russian Scientific Research Institute of Experimental Veterinary Medicine (VIEV) - in the laboratory of mycology and antibiotics.
Since 1966 Lyubov worked as Researcher, and since 1973 - Senior Researcher at the All-Russian Scientific Research Institute of Experimental Veterinary Medicine.
At the end of 1973, she transferred to the All-Union State Research Control Institute for Veterinary Preparations (VGNKI) as the post of senior researcher in the laboratory of antibiotics. In 1978, with her leading participation, a laboratory for the control and standardization of preparations against mycoses was created, which she headed from 1981 to 1989.
From 1989 to 1993, Lyubov Yablochnik was a leading researcher in the laboratory for the control and standardization of probiotics, drugs against coccal infections and mycoses.
Since 1993 Lyubov lived with her family in the USA, in the states of New York and New Jersey.
Research[edit]
Admission to the postgraduate school of VIEV (in the laboratory of mycology and antibiotics) identified the main direction of research Lyubov Yablochnik - the study of mycosis (diseases caused by parasitic fungus) of farm animals.
Supervisor Professor A. Sarkisov (Russian: Саркисов, Арутюн) set the postgraduate student Yablochnik the task of studying immunity in trichophytosis (ringworm) of cattle. The studies conducted by L. Yablochnik on a group of experimental animals showed that animals that had recovered and were cured after reinfection did not become ill. The existence of immunity in diseases caused by microscopic fungi has been proven, and therefore the possibility of creating a vaccine against ringworm of cattle.
In 1969, for the first time in world practice, an antifungal vaccine was developed, a live culture of Trichophyton faviforme was developed as an immunogenic drug, the vaccine was called TF-130 its shelf life, and then improved - the vaccine TF-130 (K).
As a result of immunization of cattle in the Soviet Union with the new vaccine LTF-130 for the period 1968-1978, the disease Trichophytia was reduced more than 100-fold and practically disappeared.
The LTF-130 vaccine is by far the most effective biological drug used against cattle ringworm.
The work of Soviet scientists was highly appreciated both in the country (USSR State Prize –1973) and abroad. Vaccines TF-130 and LTF-130 have been patented in many countries around the world. Of particular note is the gold medal "Best invention of practical use to developing countries" by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), which the authors of the LTF-130 vaccine (Sarkisov A., Yablochnik L., Petrovich S., Nikiforov L.) received in 1983. Winners of such an award in the world less than the Nobel laureates. L. Yablochnik was the first female scientist from the Soviet Union to receive this award[1].
In 1992 under the leadership of L.M. Yablochnik has developed a vaccine against trichophytosis in animals.
