Yet this knowledge could be "a matter of life and death," says University of Vermont biologist Bryan Ballif. While blood transfusion problems due to Langereis and Junior blood types are rare worldwide, several ethnic populations are at risk, Ballif notes.

But the molecular basis of these two blood types has remained a mystery -- until now. In the February issue of Nature Genetics, Ballif and his colleagues report on their discovery of two proteins on red blood cells responsible for these lesser-known blood types. Ballif identified the two molecules as specialized transport proteins named ABCB6 and ABCG2. "Only 30 proteins have previously been identified as responsible for a basic blood type," Ballif notes, "but the count now reaches 32. " A better match. Breast Milk Anti-Viral and anti-HIV Properties. Breast milk is starting to look like a potent HIV-fighter.

Breast Milk Anti-Viral and anti-HIV Properties

An unknown component of breast milk appears to kill HIV particles and virus-infected cells, as well as blocking HIV transmission in mice with a human immune system. Even if babies born to HIV-positive mothers avoid infection during birth, around 15 per cent contract HIV in early childhood. Since the virus can get into milk, breastfeeding was one suspect. To investigate further, Angela Wahl at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and her colleagues created mice with human bone marrow, liver and thymus tissues that all became infected with HIV if the mice were given an oral dose of the virus. However, if the rodents were fed breast milk containing HIV, the virus wasn't transmitted. Tor Guide. Hebrew in the Star of David.
