Have I expressed this clearly?

According to media of Taiwan, 3 million people die of AIDS every year. Recently scientists found that some aborigines of Australia have a certain antibody named 2G12 which could restrain the reproduction of HIV and refresh human immune system to kill the deadly virus. Wen Qihui, director of Gene Research Center of China Research Institute of Taiwan, as he spoke on Aug.3 in Wu Jiangxiong Science Camp, said that average people would get ill soon after infected by HIV, because the speed of reproduction of the virus is too quick to be restrained by human immune system.While 2G12 could react to the special carbohydrate molicules on the surface of the virus, and restrain the reproduction of the virus to aviod the people getting ill by refreshing immune system against HIV.

Wen Qihui said that he synthesized the antigen from the special molecules of carbohydrate combined by 2G12, and then he combined the antigen and protein into the bacterin, and injected the bacterin into mouse's body to produce antibody. There are a variety of variations of HIV. 2G12 can restrain the functions of half of the variations.

Following the same principle, Wen also synthesized bacterin Globo-H, which can be used in restraining the hyperplasia of cancer cells, and refresh immune system to kill them. At present, it has been testified that the prophase bacterin can restrain the hyperplasia of *** cancer cells. The further test will be performed in the second and third period of human experiment.

In addition, HIV infects cats too. Wen said that his lab has synthesized a small molicule which can restrain the function of protein ferment, thus disable HIV. By injecting the small molecules into the body of a cat suffering AIDS, the cat recovered. There have been more than 20 cats completely recovered by this way.The molecules, also functioned against SARS virus. He reasoned that the part of receiving protein ferment instruction is similar between SARS and HIV, while the small molecule could restrain the function of the part. But further research is needed.
