Study: Virus infection cured molecularly研究报告：通过分子手段根治病毒感染
LA JOLLA, Calif., Oct. 9 (UPI) -- U.S. medical scientists Monday announced a finding that might lead to a new approach for treating hepatitis C and other chronic virus infections.
加州拉荷亚〈La Jolla〉市10月9日（合众社）报道：美国医学专家周一宣布发现了一种可以治疗丙型肝炎病毒和其他慢性病毒的方法。
Researchers at the La Jolla, Calif., Institute for Allergy & Immunology say they eliminated a chronic virus infection in lab mice by blocking a key messenger molecule in the animals' immune system.
加州拉荷亚市过敏与免疫学院的研究人员通过阻断小鼠免疫系统中关键信使分子的表达可以消除慢性病毒的感染。
The scientists say their finding has particular relevance for hepatitis C but may also be applicable to AIDS, cytomegalovirus and other chronic virus infections.
科学家说他们的发现是针对丙型肝炎的，但是也可以用于艾滋病、巨细胞病毒等其他慢性病毒感染。
"This is a significant advance that holds great promise for the treatment of chronic virus infections," said Mitchell Kronenberg, LIAI president. He the research is particularly exciting because the scientific team was able to completely eradicate the usually chronic infection in the mice, not just tone it down as do many of the current treatment methods for such infections.
“这是一个重大的发现，给慢性病毒感染的治疗带来了巨大的希望。” 加州拉荷亚市过敏与免疫学院校长Mitchell Kronenberg说道。这项研究特别令人振奋之处在于它能根除小鼠的慢性病毒感染，而不像当前许多治疗仅仅能抑制病毒。
The research team, led by Dr. Matthias von Herrath, announced its finding in a paper published Monday in the online version of the Journal of Experimental Medicine.
研究团队负责人Matthias von Herrath博士宣称他们的发现已经于周一在《实验医学杂志》网络版上发表。
A separate study, led by Michael Oldstone of the Scripps Research Institute, produced similar results.
来自美国斯克利普斯研究院Michael Oldstone教授领导的独立研究也得到了相似的结果。
随着现代医学的深入发展，希望慢性病毒感染在不久的将来能够被根治。 [标签:content1][标签:content2]
