Reasons behind failure of Immune System to fight HIV virus uncovered

The inability of immune system to fight HIV virus has been discovered by Scientists at Boston’s Massachusetts General Hospital.

According to Bruce Walker, the head of the Boston team, the T-cells attacking virus get cop out by certain disease consisting human immunodeficiency virus causing AIDS.

Most probable cause found was that the cells which functions fully become inactivated or get destructed. It is due to the activation of a molecular switch in cells by HIV.

His team was successful in reactivating the cell that certainly help in fighting HIV, cancer and Hepatitis C for someday.

He added, they are not sure about its applicability on humans but have got a way to follow up.
