Scientists have discovered an antibody that can powerfully neutralize many variants of the most common strain of HIV, opening up a door for researchers to explore treatment and prevention options for the potentially fatal virus.
Antibodies ― proteins created by our immune system that are in charge of spotting and neutralizing potentially harmful substances in our body ― are promising avenues for potential vaccines and treatments against the virus.
The new antibody, named N6, was isolated from the blood of a person with HIV. It managed to neutralize 98 percent of the HIV variants that researchers tested it on, including 16 out of 20 variants that are usually resistant to this kind of antibody protein.

By 2030, AIDS could be a thing of the past, a new UNAIDS report has concluded
Since 2000, the number of new HIV cases has dropped by 35 percent — from 3.1 million to 2 million. The drastic decline is attributed in large part to greater accessibility to antiretroviral drugs, community outreach programs and the effective mobilization of advocates worldwide, according to the report.
“Ending the AIDS epidemic as a public health threat by 2030 is ambitious, but realistic,” U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said in a statement. “We also know that it is essential to a fair and equitable future.”
