Apparently DRACO is able to successfully treat 'nearly any viral infection'. This is accomplished because DRACO targets cells which have a type of RNA (double stranded RNA, dsRNA) which is only found in cells infected with a virus. </p> <p>To date this anti-viral drug has been tested to be successful against 15 different types of viruses.</p> <br class="clear"/><div class='adsense adsense_managed'> <script type="text/javascript"><!-- google_ad_client = "pub-4963058570058416"; /* 468x60 */ google_ad_slot = "7696163010"; google_ad_width = 468; google_ad_height = 60; //--> </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script> </div> http://www.aceize.com/draco#comments Current Events Biology MIT anti-viral Mon, 15 Aug 2011 13:23:40 +0000 Greg Kontos 851 at http://www.aceize.com
