NanoViricides Inc. (NNVC)

A follow up to my earlier Non sequitur comment

I learned on IHUB that Nanoviricides work by "Trapping virus" by presenting on their surface exact copies (of critical portions) of the receptors that viruses MUST use to infect cells. Viruses cannot enter a cell unless they use certain receptors and unless they can enter a cell, they cannot reproduce and infect.

Many viruses use the same receptors. THis is particularly true of influenza A viruses that ALL use the same two receptors: Neuraminidase (the "N" in HXNX) and Hemagglutinin (the "H" in HXNX). The viral proteins (keys) that attach to the receptors (locks) may change but the locks are always the same.

That's why Ebolacide 2 'failed' to work against Ebola. By having a defective ligand due to the bad New England weather it cant be Diwan's fault.
