In a first for any animal, including humans, four cows injected with a type of HIV protein rapidly
produced powerful antibodies against the virus, researchers report.
The most
powerful antibodies against HIV are isolated from untreated people who have failed to control their HIV infection for many years.
Breastfed babies receive many benefits when they nurse — all the nutrients they need in the first few months of life,
powerful antibodies to help fight against diseases, and a nurturing and bonding experience with their mom.
Intensive efforts have attempted to find the proteins or peptides that could teach the immune system to produce
these powerful antibodies, yet none has made progress.
