The United States has developed an anti-HIV vaccine

US scientists have successfully prepared an experimental vaccine, which for the first time completely destroys the immunodeficiency virus, similar to the HIV virus that causes acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). ) in the blood of monkeys used for experiments.

The results of this important study were published in the prestigious British scientific journal Nature on May 11.

To conduct the experiment, scientists at the Institute of Oregon and US vaccine and gene therapy , injected vaccines for 24 healthy monkeys, then injected monkeys with immunodeficiency virus to these monkeys. .

As a result, in 13 monkeys, the virus cannot replicate itself. Even the most sensitive tests cannot detect this virus in the blood. In the remaining 11 animals, the protective effect of this vaccine was maintained for a year after that.

With the results, scientists hope to control and even completely kill the virus that causes immunodeficiency in the blood. It is expected that a similar vaccine on human body could be started after three years.
