A new breakthrough may have been discovered in the fight against the AIDS virus. Scientists have created an artificial antibody that is carried into the body through a virus that fights against the spread of HIV. The synthetic immune system antibody protected monkeys against the animal version of HIV, SIV. Unfortunately, it will be years before this can be tested on humans. Nine monkeys were given this artificial antibody and than injected with SIV. Three of the monkeys never contracted SIV and the other six that did never developed into AIDS.
