Discovery of Antibodies That Prevent HIV Progression
From San Francisco - Scientists have discovered antibodies that prevent HIV from becoming severe AIDS, according to a report published in the journal Science. Researchers examined the blood samples of over 1800 people who had HIV for at least three years and had not yet experienced progression of their infection. They found that two antibodies, PG9 & PG16, effectively prevented 162 different strains of HIV from multiplying and developing into severe disease. Scientists believe this discovery could potentially lead to an AIDS vaccine.
