Nanjing University research team discovers nanobody with strong inhibitory effect against HIV virus.

A research team from Nanjing University has isolated an antibody from alpaca that can strongly inhibit the HIV virus. Experiments show that this antibody is over 99% effective in suppressing the virus, with broad-spectrum and antiviral activity. The findings were published in Nature Communications, providing insights for the development of new drugs.

Explanation:

  • Nanobody: A small antibody typically isolated from camelids, known for its high antiviral efficiency.
  • Broad-spectrum: Refers to the antibody's ability to inhibit a wide range of viruses or bacteria.
