February 28, 2008 -Researchers at the University of Alberta have discovered a gene that blocks HIV, and in turn prevents the onset of AIDS.
Stephen Barr (in the pic.) is a molecular virologist in the department of Medical Microbiology and Immunology. He says that is team has identified a gene called TRIM22 that can block HIV infection in a cell culture preventing the assembly of the virus; witch means that the virus can’t get out of is cell to infect others. This gene is so important that retracts the virus ability to mutate once the virus doesn’t crawl of is cells to infect others diminishing the ability to mutate.
