研究人员开发抗病毒咀嚼口香糖,将和流感病毒负荷减少95%以上。 Researchers develop antiviral chewing gum that reduces herpes and flu viral loads by over 95%.

宾夕法尼亚大学的研究人员发明了一种抗病毒咀嚼口香糖,表明有可能减少和流感病毒的病毒负荷。 Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania have created an antiviral chewing gum that shows potential in reducing viral loads of herpes and influenza viruses. 口香糖用含有一种抗病毒蛋白的实验室豆子制成,叫做FRIL,在实验模型中减少了95%以上的病毒负荷。 The gum, made from lablab beans containing an antiviral protein called FRIL, reduced viral loads by over 95% in experimental models. 该小组目前正在探索使用拉布拉布豆粉来防治禽流感,禽流感已对北美产生重大影响。 The team is now exploring the use of lablab bean powder to combat bird flu, which has affected North America significantly.
