Pesquisadores chineses descobriram um anticorpo anti-HIV, Nb457, de alpacas, que mostra potencial para o desenvolvimento de novos medicamentos anti-AIDS. Chinese researchers have discovered an anti-HIV antibody, Nb457, from alpacas, which shows potential for new anti-AIDS drug development. Publicado na Nature Communications, o Nb457 efetivamente inibe 116 de 117 cepas de HIV, visando o receptor CD4, o ponto de entrada para o vírus nas células hospedeiras. Published in Nature Communications, Nb457 effectively inhibits 116 out of 117 HIV strains by targeting the CD4 receptor, the entry point for the virus into host cells. Esta abordagem reduz o risco de resistência a medicamentos, ao contrário dos tratamentos atuais, indicando um avanço significativo na terapia do HIV. This approach reduces the risk of drug resistance, unlike current treatments, indicating a significant advancement in HIV therapy.
