Week+15a+KEY+Research+Question

= ‍ Question 1: What are previous observations / problems that had lead to the current reserach? = [|Per2CollisE] "breast milk antibodies were doing an incomplete job of protecting babies for HIV transmission" [|Per1OscarH] "Kids were infected with the HIV virus by just getting milk from their mother's breast" [|Per5FrancisF] "-Many infants became infected with the HIV simply because it was introduced by the breast-milk itself." per5fatimaf " a lot of infants were infected HIV from there mothers breast milk

=‍ Question 2: Suggest a general question that the research is aimed to answer. This question can relate to the benefit of such a study for humans / environment. = [|Per1OscarH] "What is preventing antibodies from killing the HIV virus?" [|Per2SpencerN] "Why are breast milk antibodies not preventing the HIV virus from infecting babies?" =per5fatimaf why cant the antibodies protect the infants from the hiv= Per2LouisaCh: Is there an HIV vaccine that is effective in increasing anti-HIV functions of breast milk antibody and reducing postnatal HIV transmission? Per4KaylaN 3a: The researchers may have wanted to find a vaccine that can produce more anti-HIV antibodies in breast-milk.
 * ‍ Question 3: Suggest a specific question that was probably used to direct the study step by step. This question is formulated using the actual components of the system being investigated. **

KREISELMAN : I'd like to add a paraphrase to the selected responses quoted above: What would be the effect of further vaccination on the partial anti-HIV activity of breast milk antibodies?
