New research found that the milk could help find a vaccine for HIV, due to antibodies that have this type of milk. Research found that breastfeeding has certain antibodies that can neutralize the virus, and this could create a vaccine for HIV. the study was conducted through the Duke University Medical Center. The researchers found that by isolating the antibodies of the immune cells called B cells in the breast milk of infected mothers, they could create a vaccine. B cells of breast milk has neutralizing antibodies that can suppress the AIDS virus. HIV can be transmitted from mother to son when they are nursing, why there is a great risk of infection in infected populations that give food to their children in this way. Scientists made a research in Malawi with women with HIV who were breast-feeding. They asked several samples and they isolated milk antibodies from immune cells, cell B or B cells, this occurred account that could develop neutralizing antibodies against HIV in the mucosa. One of the researchers said: Our work helps to establish that these B cells in breast milk can produce neutralizing antibodies against HIV. We could agree to a new way of vaccine in development. Work is to understand what a vaccine should be done to protect babies from mucosal transmission during breastfeeding ”. These results will help scientists to develop new...
