Title: Scientists have unexpeditely found a vaccine that completely blocks HIV infection in monkeys Written by: duddy on Aug 31, 2014 (https://biology-forums.com/gallery/47/12359_14_04_12_4_28_21.jpeg) (https://biology-forums.com/index.php?action=gallery;sa=view;id=2326) Human trials are now planned. If successful, the simple, cheap HIV vaccine could be taken as a probiotic-like drink. The new vaccine works in the opposite way to most vaccines - by suppressing, rather than triggering, an immune response. This is because HIV and SIV actually require immune cells known as CD4 T-cells in order to proliferate and establish an infection in the body.

Written by: bio_man on Jun 20, 2015 Wow, if this really works as easy as drinking a probiotic yogurt it'll be a game changer. Written by: oopsyea on Sep 1, 2014 |
