New Chemically-activated Antigen Could Expedite Development Of HIV Vaccine
Welcome once more to ItexMall Health and Fitness, where you can enjoy reading another fascinating snippet of Health news right here:
Scientists working to develop a vaccine for the human immunodeficiency virus report they have created the first antigen that induces protective antibodies capable of blocking infection of human cells by genetically-diverse strains of HIV. The new antigen differs from previously-tested vaccines by virtue of its chemically-activated property that enables close sharing of electrons and produces strong covalent bonding. Researchers used a mouse model to generate the antibodies.
