The new vaccine has the ability to prevent HIV / AIDS virus

Scientists at the California Institute of Technology have developed a vaccine that prevents HIV / AIDS in mice.

>>>MVA-B: The HIV vaccine is full of new prospects

The results of one study were published in the prestigious scientific journal Nature , issued on November 30.

According to experts, the vaccine has been tested in mice with a successful rate of 100% preventing HIV / AIDS infection.

Although not too optimistic about the effects of vaccines on human bodies, this study has opened up a new direction for scientists in the study of vaccines to prevent century diseases. This new method is a direct injection of the gene against HIV / AIDS into the body.

Unlike regular vaccines - acting as an indirect mechanism is "impersonating" the pathogen to help the body's immune system create antibodies (actually proteins in the blood) in the case of the body. infected with pathogens, vaccines against HIV / AIDS have just been announced to work directly.

Accordingly, instead of providing vaccines to help the body's immune system make antibodies, scientists injected protective genes capable of penetrating cells in the muscle or tissue systems, thereby producing antibodies in the body.

Applying this method in the laboratory on mice showed very positive results, 100% of the mice experimenting with the vaccine containing the HIV / AIDS resistance gene had the ability to immunity to this deadly virus.

Scientists hope the new method will soon be tested on humans in the next few years.
