Discover genes that can prevent the onset of AIDS

It is the largest university in Canada as a research universityUniversity of AlbertaAccording to the announcement, he found a gene that can prevent the onset of AIDS. This gene,TRIM 22Is included in the human genes, and it seems that future research will be on why this gene works and why it does not work.

Details are as below.

Researchers discover gene that blocks HIV

When this gene works, HIV can not get out of the infected cell and block the function of HIV virus to infect other cells.

The reason why this is effective is that multidrug-resistant bacteria against antiretroviral drugs already in use since the 1990s already exist, and means to counter HIV virus in a more natural way rather than using medicines, Because it is sought. It seems that if it becomes possible to develop a vaccine or medicine that imitates the function of this gene discovered this time, it may become possible to prevent virus infection.

The goal of this research is to prevent HIV from infecting individuals from individuals by developing new drugs, and to stop the activity of viruses in the body against already infected people now So, perhaps the results will come out in the near future.
