Anti-HIV gene that helps prevent AIDS Vaccine Development

From 1981 onwards, the world's 65 million people infected with the AIDS virus, 25 million people have to pay the price of life. Head Before, there are still 40 million worldwide living with AIDS or infected with AIDS virus (HIV) are. HIV is a retrovirus, It infected human immune cells, and disrupt its normal function. After a maturity of varying length (from 10 to 15 do not , Etc.), to develop into infectious diseases - AIDS. If the use of antiretroviral drugs, can be extended maturity. In The incubation period, the body's immune system is weakened, people infected with HIV will lead to inflammation.

Recently, the University of Lausanne, Switzerland, a research group cooperation with the United States scientists find anti-HIV gene, the hair Now in the near future to develop AIDS vaccine is possible. Research teams of staff to find out why 2% of the people who have their own resistance AIDS virus functions. Research found that the three kinds of human genes for such self-protection Function play a decisive role.

AIDS Vaccine Centre (CHAVI) international research team, Professor of Microbiology, University of Lausanne Amlio Telenti, under the leadership of From Switzerland, Italy, Britain, Austria, Spain and Denmark six countries 30,000 AIDS patients and Investigation, and were in Lausanne University, the University of Geneva and the United States on these patients Duke University conducted genetic analysis. Project Duke University units responsible for the United States for this project 300 million dollars investment.

"Some people are born to HIV resistance, we must find out what led to this function." Amalio Telenti, said: "Our task is to conduct genetic testing and identify the most rational use of these genes means. "

It is understood that in Western and Central Europe has 740,000 people with HIV disease have been treated after the control, which extended Life. According to the Swiss Association for AIDS relief in the data, a total of 20,000 Swiss people living with HIV. Average daily Two people infected with HIV.

2% of the people born for the cause of the AIDS virus resistance. Why is this so? Not from this kind of scientific research personnel rarely Several of them started, but people infected with HIV who started the study. Switzerland research group on the 6,000 infected with the HIV The genetic analysis of patients.

Research found that HIV infection among the different individual human tissue response to the virus also vary. 1 Some people can control HIV in the body, while some of those who were quickly on the development of HIV into AIDS, and in the near future Dead. Therefore, the international research team concluded that human resistance to AIDS and their genes. After Millions of data analysis, the researchers identified the body resist HIV play a decisive role DNA types.

The researchers also found that the genetic variability of the Europeans about 500,000 yards, and the variability of the Africans would be much higher, Therefore, in this study can not reference Africans. But using a special kind of research tools can be analysed. On the field of pharmaceutical research found very interested, interested in the development of the AIDS vaccine research. But Telenti that the vaccine available for at least another 10 hours. If the vaccine is successfully developed, and the incidence of AIDS Harm would decline.
