Conclusion: the drug does not kill the virus but inhibits its multiplication by preventing it from entering the cells of the body. Since scientists until recently considered an anti-virus drug a medical impossibility, the new Du Pont drug has revolutionary possibilities and may lead Du Pont into an area...
