RE: Without interferons, Benjamin tenOever said21 May 2020 20:20
Thats a great article Borsaci06,
Its reminded me to remember the science and why we invested here in the first place. Who cares about Lansdowne and anyone else wanting to sell really. You believe in the product or you don't. If you don't then move on and buy something else. The following was quite something,
'In fact, the Icahn School team found no interferons in the lung cells of Covid-19 patients. Without interferons, tenOever said, “there is nothing to stop the virus from replicating and festering in the lungs forever.”
In a study of human cells growing in lab dishes, described in a preprint (not peer-reviewed or published in a journal yet), he and his colleagues also found that SARS-CoV-2 “prevents the vast amount” of interferon genes from turning on. But when cells growing in lab dishes received the interferon IFN-1 before exposure to the coronavirus, “the virus has a difficult time replicating.”
After a few days, the amount of virus in infected but interferon-treated cells was 1,000- to 10,000-fold lower than in infected cells not pre-treated with interferon. (The original SARS virus, in contrast, is insensitive to interferon.)
This must be one of the most compelling pieces of science yet that Interferon Beta 1a has a huge role to play in this battle.
