Chinese researchers discover anti-HIV antibody Nb457 from alpacas for potential new anti-AIDS drug development.

Chinese researchers have discovered an anti-HIV antibody, Nb457, from alpacas, which shows potential for new anti-AIDS drug development. Published in Nature Communications, Nb457 effectively inhibits 116 out of 117 HIV strains by targeting the CD4 receptor, the entry point for the virus into host cells. This approach reduces the risk of drug resistance, unlike current treatments, indicating a significant advancement in HIV therapy.
