Boston (SmartAboutHealth) - Scientists have managed to make a medical breakthrough as they have developed immune cells in lab mice that have the ability to actually fight off the HIV infection.

Researchers from the University of Southern California developed the immune cells by working with lab mice.

The lab mice were used and given human cells that were implanted into their immune systems.

Once they were put into the mice, they were then given a form of the HIV disease.

What researchers found was that the human immune cells in mice were fully able and effective in fighting off the HIV disease.

The immune cells were able to be medically engineered and then changes to be able to fight the disease.

Researchers feel that this could lead to a major breakthrough as a true way to fight off the HIV disease in humans all around the world.

This would be a one-time treatment that would pack with it a high price, but would also mean big rewards for its patients.

The study on this new treatment has been published in Nature Biotechnology.
