#Coronavirus uses #same #strategy as #HIV to dodge #immune #response: Both #viruses remove marker molecules on surface of an infected cell that are used to identify invaders. When the scientists took a closer look they found that a molecule known as major histocompatibility complex, or MHC, was missing. The molecule is an identification tag usually present in the membrane of a healthy cell, or in sick cells infected by other coronaviruses such as severe acute respiratory syndrome, or Sars. It changes with #infections, alerting the #immune #system whether a cell is healthy or infected by a virus. #HIV uses the same strategy – MHC molecules are also absent in cells infected with that virus. The coronavirus removes these markers by producing a protein known as ORF8, which binds with MHC molecules, then pulls them inside the infected cell and destroys them. Four decades after #HIV – a #virus that attacks the #immunesystem – emerged, it has killed 32 million globally and there is still no #vaccine or #drug that can completely cure the #disease.”
