Researchers one step closer to HIV vaccine
Researchers at the University of Nebraska are one step closer to creating an effective vaccine to guard against HIV. The team genetically engineered an on-off switch in a weakened form of the virus, making a potential vaccination that much safer and more effective, according to a study published Wednesday in the journal ACS Synthetic Biology.
HIV vaccine breakthrough in discovery of 'on-off switch'
Scientists say they've engineered an 'on-off switch' into a weakened form of HIV, enhancing the safety and effectiveness of a potential vaccine for the virus. NEW COMBINATION OF DRUGS COULD ELIMINATE HIV HIV could be eliminated using a novel combination of drugs, claims a research team on the brink of an unprecedented experiment. Each codon instructs an amino acid to connect to a chain that becomes a protein and ultimately allows viral replication. Doing so required the team to replace a codon that codes for the amino acid in the HIV's genetic code. When the team supplied the synthetic amino acid, the assembly line began churning out proteins, and the virus began replicating.collected by :Lucy William
