A Beijing at 5:30 p.m. on October 6, 2008 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine announced that Germany and France three scientists share the award. German Cancer Research Center scientists Harald   Eitan Hartson found as a result of human papillomavirus (HPV) and award-winning lead to cervical cancer; two French scientists, Pasteur Institute of Virology Department of retrovirus infection Control Panel  Francoise Barre - Xinuo Xi and Paris World AIDS Research and Prevention Foundation   Luc montagny found as a result of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and award-winning.

This year's Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine award is a serious cause of human disease found that two types of the virus.

traditional anti-dogma, it is assumed that human papilloma virus led to cervical cancer - the second most common female cancer. He recognized that, HPV-DNA can be present in the tumor growth of non-state, and should be able to specific DNA of the virus found in the search. He found, HPV virus is a heterogeneous family. Only some types of HPV cause cancer. He led the discovery of the natural history of HPV infection to describe, as well as for HPV-induced cancer-causing mechanism and anti-HPV vaccine to prevent acquired understanding of the development.

Hartson HPV confirmed the new features in order to help people understand the human papilloma virus-induced cancer-causing mechanism, the virus continued to induce the cells into patients as well as the factors. HPV16 and 18 so that he can obtain the scientific community. The ultimate vaccine was developed to provide a ¡Ý 95% protection from high-risk HPV16 and 18 infections. The vaccine was also able to reduce the demand for surgery as well as the global burden of cervical cancer.

Barr - Xi Nuoxi montagny and found that the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Have the virus in lymph node (from the Acquired Immune Deficiency in the early stages with increasing lymph node of patients) and blood (from patients with advanced) has been to identify. According to this form of the virus, biochemical and immunological characteristics, which they identified as the first known human virus slowly. HIV damage the immune system, because a large number of virus replication, the cell damage. The discovery of AIDS for the current biology and its anti-retroviral treatment is a prerequisite.

Barr - Xi Nuoxi with montagny and found that the cloning Order Rapid HIV-1 gene as a possible component. In this context, it is only expected to determine the HIV replication cycle of important details of how to identify the virus and host interaction. Furthermore, the diagnosis was found to be HIV infected patients and screening of blood products constantly updated methods, which have limited the spread of the epidemic. Right now, new types of antiviral drugs is an unprecedented development in the understanding of the details of the virus replication cycle. The combination of prevention and treatment, a reduction of the full spread of the disease, and significantly improved the lives of patients by the administration expected. At the same time, HIV cloning research to its origin and evolution possible.

Harald Hausen  Eitan was born in Germany in 1936, the University of Dusseldorf, Germany, MD, Heidelberg, Germany German Cancer Research Center, an honorary professor of retirement, the former chairman and director of the science.   Francoise Barre - Xinuo Xi, born in France in 1947, the French Pasteur Institute of Virology, Dr., Professor, France Pasteur Institute of Virology Department of retrovirus infection control director of the group.  Luc montagny in 1932 was born in France, the French University of Paris, Dr. virology, Paris, France, World AIDS Research and Prevention Foundation, a retired professor and honorary director.

It is reported that half of the prize money Hausen will be exclusive, the other two scientists to share a quarter of France.
