British Scientists Discover Gel to Prevent AIDS transmission

War against Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS), continue to progress. A number of scientists led by Professor Robin Offord and Olivier Hartley of the University of Geneva, Switzerland, recently, successfully developed a kind of molecule that is believed to protect people from HIV / AIDS.
A protein-enhanced protein from the human body's immune system is established to protect female monkeys from the virus HIV.
The plan, developed the formula in the form of a jail that can be used to prevent human transmission of sexually transmitted HIV. In laboratory tests, the compound is able to protect cells from attack of the HIV virus during a one day full.
This means, in theory, people who use the jail is protected from chemical attack of the HIV / AIDS at least 24 hours prior to have sex. Maximum in front, side effects of the jail is the human mind can have. Then, preventive medicine is tested in the level of effectiveness inhibit infection by HIV / AIDS in the high-risk groups.
Next, Offord and colleagues are developing a more cheaper and easy to make these molecules. As known, HIV can produce their own cells in the human bloodstream, the leukosit. white blood cells that usually fight the virus if attacked, would not be against HIV.
This can occur because HIV is a retrovirus or a similar virus that can multiply in human blood. Later, the virus attacks a cell-type of white blood cells, including limfosit, called "T-4" or T-helper (helper) who is also known as CD-4 cells. To be able to infecting CD-4, HIV reseptor need - one or a group of nerve cells and other cells that function to recognize a particular stimulus that come from outside or in the body - which is called CCR5.
According to research Offord and his team, who have a lot of CD-4 cells with little CCR5 almost be safe from HIV infection. Cells that act as carriers of immune system chemicals called regulated on activation normal T expressed and secreted (Rantes). Rantes which are developed by a team of leaders Offord to prevent HIV infection.
