Researchers
said that blood samples taken from four people recovered from the virus
(H-5 to 1) protected the mice from several strains of the virus.
And may result in the result reached by the researchers to a new way to treat infections of bird flu in humans as another potential weapon to stockpile ahead of a feared pandemic of avian flu, scientists were able to form antibodies monoclonal and that have been trained to recognize the virus (H-5 to 1) .
Dr. Cameron Simmons of the Hospital of Tropical Diseases in Ho Chi Minh City Vietnam, "We have shown that this method can be successful in the prevention of infection (H-5 to 1) in mice."
This method is not new, as the antibodies taken from human blood can treat a number of injuries or prevention, including hepatitis and rabies.
The researchers wrote in their study, published in the scientific journal Public Library, "The transfer of the components of human blood from patients who recovered from the Spanish flu in 1918 was accompanied by a 50 percent decline in the proportion of deaths during the influenza epidemic."
The scientists in the study to extract the white blood cells that produce antibodies, called "memory cells B" samples from the blood. And use the address had been reached to make them produce antibodies continuously.
The researchers produced more antibodies and then examined the mice infected with lethal doses of virus, "H-5 to 1," the researchers said that most of the mice that received the new antibodies survived, while all mice that died did not receive this treatment. The antibody treatment was able to protect mice after a period amounted to 72 hours after infection.
