Breakthrough made in controlling hiv virus
Canadian scientists have made what could be an important step forward in medicine's battle against the HIV virus. For the first time, they have identified a defect in the body's immune response to HIV and found a way to correct the flaw. Specifically, the work relates to the identification of a new therapeutic target - the PD-1 protein - that restores the functionality of T cells, whose job it is to eliminate the virus.
