Crocodiles living in bacteria-infested waters, the sick animals to eat, and fight with other Crocs. Your skin may be ripped open or their limbs torn in battle. But heal quickly and rarely infection. This has led scientists to wonder how a crocodile immune system work.
A research institute led crocodile blood and a number of strains of bacteria, including the new, more resistant bacteria. If a drop of blood from crocodiles is in the midst of a court culture of bacteria, kills all the bacteria in the vicinity. Crocodile kills the virus serum much better the human immune system.
“The crocodile has an immune system which attaches to bacteria and tears it apart and exploding. And ‘as if you have a gun to the head of the bacteria and pulling the trigger,” said Australian scientist Adam Britton.
In analysis, crocodile blood seems to have an antimicrobial peptide that can penetrate bacteria or virus cells’ membranes. Once inside, they destroyed the cell. A peptide is a natural chemical made of amino acids or proteins and is located in white blood cells.
There are a number of problems scientists would be like a drug with this serum. One of them is that it takes years for a drug by the FDA. Furthermore, this peptide is not taken orally or injected. Another reason is that researchers are concerned that alligator serum may be too strong for the people may have to synthesize.
But researchers who have developed a drug on the market or within 10 years. You have already participated in the development of this drug for a number of years.
