According to Nature Medicine, a trial of 10-1074 antibodies on 33 HIV-positive patients conducted by Rockefeller University (USA) and the University of Cologne Hospital and the Center for German Infection Research took place. public. Not only neutralizing HIV, 10-1074 antibodies showed high antiviral activity, good tolerability and safety for users.

Dr. Florian Klein from Cologne University Hospital of the group of authors explaining antibody 10-1074 targets the V3 ring structure on the HIV envelope protein and neutralizes the virus. "These antibodies are extremely powerful, effective for different HIV strains. Therefore, they play an important role in finding and developing HIV vaccines," Dr. Klein stressed.

10-1074 antibodies will continue to be tested on humans. Scientists hope to combine specific antibodies that will completely defeat HIV.
