Mayo clinic has developed a new way to fight human HIV and AIDS and other diseases. The goal is to test it on cats then later test it on humans, there trying to “create cats with intrinsic immunity to feline AIDS virus. Mayo has created a way to insert monkey proteins to counter act HIV when it kills the body’s infection fighting T-cells. The Mayo executives say this can not only benefit humans but animals as well. HIV/ AIDS has killed over 30 million people and left countless children orphaned and millions of cats also suffer and die from FIV/AIDS. The technique of inserting monkey genes into the eggs before sperm fertilization is called gamete lentiviral transgenesis. The injection makes the offspring glow green, which makes it easy to tell which cats have been genetically altered. All the offspring have the genes, and the genes remain active in successive generations.
