WASHINGTON, July 23 (Xinhua) -- A new study by U.S. scientists has demonstrated that cows have a "remarkable" ability to neutralize the HIV virus, a finding hailed by the researchers as "a significant step forward" that may offer insights for vaccine design.
The study Shop Vans Black Outsole SK8-Hi Reissue Blue Black , conducted with the support of the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH), found that the immune system of calves can rapidly develop antibodies which can neutralize the HIV virus.
The broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs), scientists have observed Clearance Vans LXVI Sk8-Hi Lite Black White , can be developed naturally by 10 to 20 percent of people living with HIV, but the process only begins about two years after infection.
The HIV virus may well have mutated during two years' time, and Vans Old Skool Reptile Light Grey Black For Sale , according to a news release posted on the NIH website, scientists have so far been unsuccessful in prompting the human immune system to produce bNAbs by immunization.
When the researchers injected HIV immunogens into the bodies of four calves which they were experimenting with, the cows developed bNAbs between 30 and 35 days. The immunogen applied in the experiment can elicit bNAb responses "rapidly and constantly Vans Old Skool Light Grey White Clearance ," the news release said.
The experiment marks the first time scientists have reliably triggered the production of antibodies to HIV in humans or animals by immunization.
Unlike human beings, cows do not get HIV and the bNAbs they generate are not likely to be suitable for clinic use in humans in their current form. But scientists believe exploring this rapid production of bNAbs may help with the design of a new vaccine to fight HIV.
"From the early days of the epidemic, we have recognized that HIV is very good at evading immunity Vans Old Skool Blue White Shoes Australia , so exceptional immune systems that naturally produce broadly neutralizing antibodies to HIV are of great interest -- whether they belong to humans or cattle," said Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases Vans Old Skool Canvas Wine Red White Sale , a member of the NIH.
Although the reason why the powerful antibodies can be produced by cattle remains unclear, one theory links the phenomenon to the animals' extensive gastrointestinal systems, which have multi-chambered stomachs and a robust population of bacteria in their digestive tracts to help break down tough grasses Women's Vans Old Skool Pink White Online , according to the study.

LANZHOU， March 14 (Xinhua) -- A 23-year-old panda living in a zoo in the northwestern city of Lanzhou will return to its hometown in southwest China's Sichuan Province due to health concerns， authorities with the zoo said Tuesday.
The panda， named Shu Lan， was born in 1994 in Chengdu， capital of Sichuan Province. Shu Lan first moved to Lanzhou in 1996. She went back to Sichuan and lived in Chengdu and two giant panda research centers in Ya'an City between 1999 and 2016 for research and breeding.
Her current age of 23 is equivalent to about 70 human years.
Shu Lan returned to Lanzhou on April 7， 2016， but her health has aroused public concern as photos of her with an injured back and foaming at the mouth went viral in October 2016 and February 2017.
China Conservation and Research Center for Giant Panda sent three experts to Lanzhou from March 7 to 9 to evaluate Shun Lan's health and her living conditions in the Lanzhou City Zoo.
After evaluation， experts said Shu Lan is in normal health condition. The foaming at the mouth was caused mainly by her chewing and playing with her tongue. But they also pointed out that Shu Lan's weight has dropped from 103 kg to current 92 kg over the past year since she returned to the city， though it is still in the normal range.
Experts also concluded that Shu Lan has already shown some symptoms of aging.
Giant pandas live mainly in the mountains of northern Sichuan as well as southern Gansu and Shaanxi. According to the latest nationwide survey， there are 132 giant pandas living in the wild in southern Gansu. However， Lanzhou City， located in the middle of the province， has a different environment and climate compared with wild panda habitats.
Heating systems， air conditioners and a humidifier have been installed in Shu Lan's living area in the zoo in Lanzhou. But the zoo's panda habitat was built in 1976 and is too antiquated to accommodate Shu Lan.
The bamboo she was fed was not fresh enough as it was transported from central China's Henan Province. Moreover， the zoo lacks experience in taking care of old pandas.
Experts suggested sending Shu Lan to the China Conservation and Research Center for Giant Panda in Sichuan to help her maintain her health.
The suggestion has been approved by the Lanzhou City Zoo， though a specific schedule has not been released yet. The decision wa.
