Scientists glimpse a rare human antibody which protects against AIDS
Scientists have obtained their first detailed glimpse of a rare antibody, called b12, which is capable of inactivating many different strains of HIV, the virus which causes AIDS. A crystal structure of b12 has been determined by scientists working at The Scripps Research Institute, California, and the Glycobiology Institute at Oxford University,... view more... (2001-08-08)
New rabies vaccine may require only a single shot... not 6
