The best minds of Belgium are experimenting today with a special vaccine aimed at combating influenza pathogens. According to scientists, they obtained the basis for the drug from the antibodies of camels and Tibetan lamas.

The first patients in which the researchers tested the vaccine were laboratory mice. An infected animal was given a drug based on antibodies from the blood of a llama and a camel. And it soon became clear that the drug acts on sick mice extremely healingly and effectively.

Note that the vaccine was tested immediately in two forms - as vaccinations and in the form of a suspension, which was sprayed on flu-infected mice.

According to the developers, the antibodies of llamas and camels are atypically small. They are able to exhibit such activity that antibodies of standard size (such as, for example, in humans) are not available. This ensures the speedy penetration of the drug into the focus of the virus and an effective fight against the pathogen.

Antibodies produced in the body of Tibetan lamas enhance the action of the influenza vaccine and are able to withstand six dozen varieties of the disease of serotypes A and B.

The experiments with mice showed excellent results, and now the Belgian developers are sure: they went to the finish line to develop a highly effective flu vaccine. The very one that humanity needs so much.

“We have not yet started testing in humans,” the Belgians say. “And we are prepared for the fact that the effect of the drug on a person may be less effective than on a mouse.” We do not exclude the possibility that the human body will simply begin to reject llama antibodies. But we are ready to deal with side effects. And the idea of ​​creating a real panacea in the form of a simple aerosol against serious flu strains is too tempting to step aside from it! ”
