Antibody that neutralises 98% HIV strains identified
US-based researchers have identified an antibody from an HIV-infected individual that neutralised 98% of all human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) strains tested. The antibody, N6, was found to bind to the virus in a way that prevents it from developing resistance or attaching on to immune cells. The antibody could be administered to HIV patients by under-the-skin injection, researchers added.
