A small antibody fragment that is highly effective in neutralizing the human
immunodeficiency virus (HIV) by preventing the virus from entering
cells has been identified by researchers at the National Cancer
Institute (NCI), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
This finding may provide insight into the development of new treatments
against HIV and other viruses, hopefully in the not too distant
future. The study appears online Oct. 20, 2008, in “Proceedings
of the National Academy of Sciences.” (Source: National Institutes of Health (NIH) News Releases)
