Discovered a gene to block HIV

In the course of medical studies have a gene that can block the virus immunodeficiency that prevent the onset of AIDS, the Canadian researchers from the University of Alberta said found. Stephen Barr, a molecular diagnostic virologist at the Institute of Medical Microbiology and Immunology, says his team has a new gene called TRIM22 that can block directly able to HIV infection in the cell by preventing the spread of the virus is discovered. According to doctors, the biggest challenge in creating a vaccine against HIV in the unique ability of the virus to mutate rapidly and avoid drug exposure. Almost all antiretroviral drugs by the end of the 90's, some are able to suppress the virus, but they can not prevent. The self-reproduction of HIV According to Stephen Barr always new resistant form of the virus, so you can create block more and more natural resources to fight HIV. The discovery of this gene represents a new approach to treatment.
