Protein Identified that Destroys HIV
Using a $225,000 microscope, researchers have identified the key components of a protein that destroys HIV in rhesus monkeys. The finding could lead to new treatments based on the protein, TRIM5a, that would knock out HIV in humans, said senior researcher Edward M. Campbell of Loyola University Health System.
