Find out how to disable the HIV virus

While studying in the laboratory about HIV, a group of international scientists from the US and Europe have found that HIV cannot destroy the immune system if cholesterol is removed from the membrane. this virus.

The research team, led by Dr Adriano Boasso of the Royal College of London, has been working to remove cholesterol from the membrane surrounding the HIV virus. As a result, they found that the virus cannot attack and weaken the immune system.

The cholesterol in the membrane of HIV virus works to help the virus become more flexible and allow them to interact with certain types of cells.

Currently, the team plans to use this method to neutralize the HIV virus and develop a vaccine against AIDS.

Usually when a person is infected with the HIV virus, the body's immune system responds immediately by setting up a defensive barrier. However, some researchers believe that the HIV virus causes the immune system to overreact. This weakens the next defense system of the immune system.

AIDS causes 1.8 million deaths worldwide each year. An estimated 2.6 million people are infected with HIV in 2009 and about 33.3 million are infected with the virus worldwide.
