Antiviral Activity of the Proprietary Samples

Blue-O Technology Inc has developed proprietary samples that have demonstrated antiviral activity against HIV-1 and influenza. Blue-O Technology Inc has purified these proprietary samples to isolate different subunit components. These subunit components will be used by the intern determine which components have anti-HIV or anti-influenza activity. Initial experiments will be undertaken in cell culture systems to determine which subunits contain antiviral activity and what dose should be used for each sample. The final testing will be undertaken in mouse models of HIV-1 and influenza infection to determine if the samples can treat viral infection
