Immune antibodies before HIV

Scientists believe that the unique appearance of an antibody can effectively block the HIV attack.

Scientists believe that the unique appearance of an antibody can effectively block the HIV attack.

When constantly exposed to HIV, mice treated with an antibody were less likely to be infected with the virus than untreated mice, according to a study by the California Institute of Technology (USA).

Experts say this is an effective way to prevent the spread of HIV among people.

Aerial antibodies act as a traditional vaccine when injected into the body by a VIP call method , which only serves as a 'messenger'.

Accordingly, the modified HIV virus carries special genes, and converts this gene group into muscle cells, thereby promoting the body to produce HIV neutralizing antibodies, VRC01 .

Of the 10 treated mice, only 2 were infected; While the entire group of 9 untreated mice did not resist the deadly virus.

The research has just been published in Nature Medicine.
