Some scientists are trying to find a vaccine against infection with the AIDS virus. The new study by injecting mice with the protective genes, making it a discovery that has been tested for HIV infection in animals for a decade.
In this research a number of mice included in this study who have the HIV virus protection one hundred percent. The experts were impressed with the fact that this plan will be applied to humans.
“This research is to be something very important for a creative discovery,” said Chairman of the National AIDS, Anthony Fauci, on abcnews.com, Wednesday (30/11).
Nearly 30 years of this malignant disease has been identified. But scientists have not been able to find an effective antidote vaccine. It was only in 2009, Thailand carried out tests on a vaccine that could protect against infection-third of people with AIDS. Although it is not good in general use, but researchers are currently developing better again.
The researchers report the results of his research in the journal Nature Online, Wednesday (30/11). They hope to test this vaccine can be performed on people in the next few years. Another research team also reported similar success ever conducted on monkeys in the year 2009, and researchers hope it can be applied to humans with immediately.
In the process, a traditional vaccines work by masquerading as germs, which could train the immune system to defend against germ attacks. Defense is generally an antibody, a protein in blood that was formed to hold the parts exposed to the virus. Once there, the virus can not make a lasting infection and cleared from the body.
“I think it’s great,” said Dr. Philip R. Johnson Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, who reported similar results in monkeys in 2009. “Does This provides additional evidence that the invention is worthy of moving forward,” he added.
