HIV Vaccine is going to be a reality as researchers have found that Treg cells which is a type of regulatory lymphocyte, might be protecting babies in the womb from the HIV Virus when the mother is already infected.

Scientists and Researchers who were puzzled for years as for how babies also get an infection from their mothers can now breathe easy as the infection won't affect them. Mr.Peter Kessler from Emory University School of Medicine said, this is just a prevention and still no vaccine is available yet.

We found out what protected the majority of babies and we were working on natural immune response boost rate and that resulted in this prevention. For the babies which had higher levels of Treg lymphocytes in the blood were uninfected.

Lymphocytes are cells of the immune system which protect the body from bacteria and viruses. Terg cells do the self-check in this immune system to prevent excessive immune reactions. The research results were presented at ASM Microbe, the American Society for Microbiology's annual meeting.
