A gene has been discovered that “turns off” HIV.
Actually, researchers have found TWO genes that disable the virus. SERINC5 and SERINC3 block HIV’s ability to infect new cells.
Normally they’re deactivated by the HIV-1 Nef protein, but new drugs could target Nef and allow SERINC to “turn off” the virus.
