“Experimental Antibody Sends HIV-Like Virus into Remission for 4 Years in Monkeys, Study Sh” — what this page in the network covers. A single dose of an experimental antibody has kept an HIV-like virus in remission for nearly four years in monkeys, according to a study published in Science Translational Medicine. The research, led by scientists at the National Institutes of Health and Emory University, tested the antibody in rhes The research, led by scientists at the National Institutes of Health and Emory University, tested the antibody in rhesus macaques infected with simian-human immunodeficiency virus (SHIV), a hybrid virus used to model HIV.
After receiving the antibody, the monkeys experienced a rapid decline in viral load, and the virus remained undetectable in the blood for up to 3.7 years without further treatment. This is one of the longest remission periods achieved with a single intervention in a nonhuman primate model. This listing links straight to the original page, where the content is available in full.
