Anti HIV protein that the body uses to attack the AIDS virus is actually a stealthy defense mechanism that evolved 32 million years before the emergence of HIV. The protein also called Apobec3G defends cells from HIV infection by causing mutations in the genetic material within the virus.
In response, HIV produces a protein that binds to Apobec3G and targets it for destruction. This recently discovered protein has been creating some buzz in the scientific community for its potential in shedding light on the genetic mechanisms of HIV prevention.
Humans possess a gene, which acts as a defense against infection by HIV, scientists have found.
They hope the discovery could lead to new treatments for HIV and Aids - badly needed as current medications become increasingly impotent.
Scientists also realized that the HIV virus would interfere with the normal operation of the gene - called CEM15 - by producing a protein called Vif.
But they found that once this protein had been removed from the HIV virus, the CEM15 gene was able to effectively stop the HIV virus from reproducing.
Scientists had already known that Vif plays an essential part in ensuring HIV replication, but before now its precise functions had been unclear.
These are very significant findings and could open the door to new treatments for HIV/Aids in the future. If we can find a way to block the action of Vif, it would allow CEM15 to work properly and prevent HIV from spreading. When a virus such as HIV infects a cell, it basically hijacks the cell's entire biochemical machinery, turning it into a factory that churns out new viruses. These viruses then go on to infect and kill other cells and so the cycle continues.
Future research will focus on identifying substances that can block the action of the Vif protein.
Current treatments for HIV involve using a combination of drugs to target separate elements in the virus's life cycle. However, these drugs do not lead to the total disappearance of the virus. HIV has also developed resistance to the drugs in about half of patients.
But the biomagnetic/holistic treatment has been successful in flushing out the HIV viruses .
