National Institutes of Health has awarded a grant worth more than $850,000 to immunologists at the
University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center to study the genetics of a critical protein in herpes simplex virus-2 (HSV-2) infection.
The disease can cause painful sores, lesions and psychological stress. Genital herpes also may play a role in the spread of other sexually transmitted diseases such as HIV, chlamydia and syphilis. "It's a tremendous women's issue that is underrepresented in research,” said
Dan Carr, an immunologist and associate professor in the
OU Department of Ophthalmology and the
Dean A. McGee Eye Institute. "With an estimated 40 million to 60 million Americans infected with this virus and the number of new cases approaching 500,000 annually, it is essential to identify key components within our immune system that are critical in controlling the infection.”
Role of chemokines
In an effort to prevent HSV-2 infection and recurrence,
Carr and his team are studying proteins called chemokines.
Preliminary research showed chemokines to be responsible for coordinating the body's immune response to the herpes virus.
Scientists plan to take what they learn from the chemokine research and use the information to develop a potential vaccine or gene transfer therapy that would reduce the incidence of infection and diminish the chance of reactivation once infected.
Carr's study is one of a handful in the country, and the only one in Oklahoma funded by the
National Institutes of Health, that focuses on the identification of immune mechanisms associated with the control of genital herpes.
以上大致是说：
XX大学得到一笔津贴用于研究HSV感染的关键蛋白质chemokines
并计划开发一种蛋白质疫苗或基因治疗去减少传染和降低感染后反应的机会
各位战友，有机会去找找相关的信息吧
另外在网站上也有很多介绍中医使用草本治疗疱疹的信息，也是值得看看的
另外请大家一定要多多写出自己的治疗方法和新的，哪怕可以抑制几个月也是功德无量啊！！！！
