The study found the existence of the human AIDS virus umbrella

Brigham Young University professor of chemistry and biochemistry Burton and his colleagues in the analysis of HIV-positive patient's body fluid samples and found a position in the follicular dendritic cells in lymph nodes for the sake of their functions will be swallowed up and HIV, the virus has been swallowed up and Do not show any acts, such as reproduction, mutation. Brigham Young University and Johns - Hopkins University School of Medicine scientists have discovered called follicular dendritic cells (FDCs) of the "cell bank", the cell can make AIDS (HIV) to maintain its free and Infectious To be anti-anti-viral drugs. Related research results will be published in the recent publication of the "Journal of the virus" magazine. Brigham Young University professor of chemistry and biochemistry Burton and his colleagues in the analysis of HIV-positive patient's body fluid samples and found a position in the follicular dendritic cells in lymph nodes for the sake of their functions will be swallowed up and HIV, the virus has been swallowed up and Do not show any acts, such as reproduction, mutation. However, these acts is the current target of the drug, the cells of HIV can be free from anti-drug. The researchers also found that HIV will make the best use of FDCs function to a new kind of virus infection in order to maintain their activity and thus avoid the drugs. Burton said that although FDCs can store the virus and cause infection again, but the cells to researchers will provide the necessary information to enable researchers Based on this virus for storage of special treatment, and also from the research Exploration in the treatment of other diseases, such as allergies and autoimmune diseases, they are to the U.S. National Institutes of Health to apply for funds for research and development related to kill the virus stored in FDCs in new ways.
