Keepourlive--In April 2013, Scientists reported a new movement that can change the world namely the recent discovery of antibodies that can neutralize the AIDS. HIV infection is an infection of intensive molecular Startlingly when the virus infects a new host until the advent of AIDS.
The development of AIDS isn't because our bodies can't fight HIV, but as a result of the body's defenses are weakened at a time when the virus persist.
Currently, research led by Barton Haynes, Director of the Duke University Human Vaccine Institute at Duke University School of Medicine, they found a way to help the human immune system. Starting of the infection, our immune system immediately activated and secrete antibodies to destroy the HIV virus. In the first weeks, these antibodies are generally successfully eliminate nearly all viruses but there are still remaining some virus can't be detected. The undetected viruses will mutate and proliferate to new form antibodies to kill them.
Until it reaches a point where the kill of virus replication triggers more until the body is no longer able to fight the virus.
As published in the journal "Nature", in The observations Haynes collecting and storing blood samples from 400 patients, starting from the time of HIV infection.
Haynes found that "neutralizing antibody" appears after 14 weeks of infection that can be bonded well with the HIV virus.
These antibodies can be a weapon of war against the virus, and is a strong targets for vaccine manufacture.
Haynes said that they have discovered the workings of the antibody but which is now being sought is how to use these antibodies to the vaccine. In his research, he found individuals infected by HIV, issuing these antibodies, but the HIV virus can trick the body's immune system.
Haynes believes that every individual has his own way to fight HIV, Haynes and colleagues currently are conducting a map of the path of what triggers the release of antibodies on any individual.
He hopes to find the same or similar lines between individuals, where these similarities may give the expectations of the development of vaccines.
