Can you believe US government scientists actually did this work-- this would not have happened in the Reagan era!!
Okay, all my gay political advocates: which one of you will be the first to scream Conspiracy Theory about this news??
The scientists identified three antibodies. One of these neutralizes 91% of all HIV strains!!
Remarkable!!
"The antibodies were discovered in the cells of a 60-year-old African-American gay men, known in the scientific literature as Donor 45, whose body made the antibodies naturally. Researchers screened 25 million of his cells to find 12 that produced the antibodies. Now the trick will be for scientists to develop a vaccine or other methods to make anyone's body produce them."
