Can scientist experiment this? Can scientist train our cells to fight against cells of cancer or HIV? |
Is it possible to trained our cells to fight against bacteria like cancer or HIV in test tube and put the trained cells again in our body? Is there any experiment going on? Please let me know if anything happening new. for some viruses and bacteria, yes. for cancer and HIV it is a little more complicated and difficult. what youre describing is kinda how vaccines work, it trains your body's immune system to attack a certain virus or bacteria. the problem with cancer is that usually your immune system cant recognize a normal cell from a cancer cell, since cancer is simply one of your own cells that is growing out of control. HIV constantly mutates so your immune system doesnt recognize it, that's why we cant make a vaccine against it. plus, HIV resides inside of T Cells and replicates, and your immune system doesnt have access to the virus when it is inside a cell. your immune system does attack the virus when it is outside the cell best thing to do for AIDs is to avoid risky behaviors and never get the disease, then you dont have to worry about treating it. cancer is unavoidable, but you can greatly decrease your risk by not smoking, not drinking excessively, and exercising/managing your weight. also, cancer deaths would be cut down greatly if people just got regular screenings. for instance, colon cancer is one of the biggest killers, but up to 90% of deaths could be prevented if the people who got it had been getting an annual colonoscopy to remove polyps. early detection and better prevention could really stem cancer deaths. one thing they are experimenting with are monclonal antibodies. antibodies are normally made by your immune system and attach to bad cells and foreign objects like virues and bacteria. they make them synthetically with a radioactive group attached to the antibody, so they bind to a cancer cell and deliver radiation straight to the tumor and kill it. Yes, but they need little, teeny, tiny whips and chairs! Cells are "trained" using the body's own immune response and it's called a "vaccine". No vaccine yet for HIV. it is impossible to "fight" hiv and/or cancer. they are viruses not bacteria and therefore arnt considered "living". they simply use ur cells as host cells and reproduce like crazy, so in response to ur question. no There is about to come on the market a vaccine against cervical cancer. This is good news for lots of women of course but it is not the ned of cancer as cervical cancer is one of the few that starts with a bacterium. Cancer is very clever and it pretends to be a benign growth to our own bodies defense system by producing high amounts of protien for example. Now, if we can fool cancer in to showing itself to our bodies then we can get the swine easily enough. Look out over the next 12-24 months as there are to be quite a few results coming out in the vacination against cancer Actually, most cervical cancer is caused by HPV--human papilloma virus--not a bateria. Cancer is not a virus, it is uncontrolled cell growth. It can be caused by a virus that messes with the things that control growth and division. Kristina is correct. HIV is a virus that works by stopping your immune system from fighting infection; People with HIV/AIDS don't die of the HIV, they die because their body's natural defense systems stop bothering to defend against attack by other diseases. And cancer cells are part of the patient, not an external infection, so it would be very difficult to train the immune system to recognize and attack them. There are lots of new cancer & HIV trials going on all the time. Google "Cancer drug Trial" or HIV drug trial" Hope you were just asking and don't have/know someone with one of these nasty afflictions... I asked my mom (who's recently been in school) this very question, and she said that they are developing cells that are made to target cancer cells. Because cancer cells grow at an exceedingly high rate and cut off blood supply to your cells around them, it would be very hard to train your own cells to attack the cancer. But she says that this research is being tested to insert lab-produced cells that attack cancer cells and kill them. I'm not sure who is doing the research or what it's called. As far as HIV or AIDS, I don't know of any new research. |
