Scripps, Oxford Scientists ID Potential HIV NeutralizerSeptember 17, 2001 Scientists at the Scripps Research Institute of La Jolla and the Glycobiology Institute at Oxford University in the United Kingdom believe they have identified an antibody that can neutralize HIV -- a finding they hope to use in creating a vaccine to protect people against the virus. Scientists have long been searching for an antibody that can break through the virus' outer layer. The designated "b12" antibody has a long finger-like region on its surface that can penetrate the surface of the main viral glycoprotein on HIV and thus prevent it from causing disease, Scripps reported. The report appeared in Science (2001 August 10; 293:1155-1159).
