Sweden may block the synthesis of genital herpes simplex virus infection in the material March 18, 2010 13:00:41 Source: Xinhua STOCKHOLM, March 17 (Xinhua reporters, Sun Qie) Swedish researchers have recently blocked the synthesis of a genital herpes virus infection in the material, animal experiments showed a significant effect.
Cause genital herpes is herpes simplex virus type 2. From Sweden, Sahlgrenska University Hospital researchers herpes simplex virus type 2 glycoprotein gG-2 can activate the immune system with a mixture of substances, then this synthetic substance injected into the mice.
The results showed that herpes simplex virus type 2 in mice has not spread to the spinal cord's nerve center. This shows that under the action of such substances, the virus lost its way in the spread of infection in the capacity of nerve cells, which can not be pathogenic. This also indicates that compounds the main component of gG-2 protein is herpes simplex virus type 2 infection of nerve cells to enter and a necessary component, but the protein itself is not disease-causing ingredients. The results of future research and development of drug treatment and prevention of genital herpes herpes vaccine has important significance.
Genital herpes is the most common sexually transmitted diseases. This sexually transmitted diseases, HIV infection risk is 2 to 3 times normal, so prevention of genital herpes can also help reduce the spread of HIV.
