Scientists have discovered a blocking protein that activates the body's immune response. This may help in better treatment of HIV. HIV cripples immunity of the body by destroying immune cells. The researchers' idea is to reduce chronic activation of the immune cells with the help of newly discovered protein. <br/><br/>This will give immune cells the opportunity to restore their fighting strength.Combine this with antiretroviral therapy and it may be possible to both restore immune function and eradicate HIV throughout the body.
