VACCINE COMPRISED SPECIFICALLY OF PROTEIN SUBUNITS OF HUMAN IMMUNODEFICIENCY VIRUS'S GLYCOPROTEIN 120 PROBE TO PREVENT AND TREAT AN INFECTION CAUSED BY THE HUMAN IMMUNODEFICIENCY VIRUS

摘要

The human immunodeficiency virus poses a significant threat to the health and well being of the world's population. Current strategies utilized to eradicate this deadly pathogen have not been effective. A vaccine comprised solely of protein subunits of the glycoprotein 120 probe as the active ingredient, can be effective in stimulating an individual's immune system to repel an HIV infection. The protein subunit of the glycoprotein 120 probe extends from the surface of HIV and is the unique identifier of an HIV virion. When protein subunits of HIV's glycoprotein probe are exclusively presented to the immune system, the antibodies generated will neutralize the glycoprotein 120 probes located on the surface of HIV virions, such that the virus's virions then are incapable of engaging a T-Helper cell and thus the infectious threat posed by HIV is averted.
