Experts say the advance could make the cat a valuable new genetic model-and potentially protect it from an HIV-like virus.

专家说，这项进程可能使这种猫成为一种有价值的新遗传模型，并且很有可能保护自身免受类HIV病毒。

The model also showed that once those T cells are released into the bloodstream, they can effectively attack HIV proteins, even when the virus mutates.

这个模型显示，一旦T细胞释放入血，它们就可以强烈攻击HIV蛋白，即使它们已经变异了。

Dr Ron Fouchier, from the Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam, said his team had introduced a number of genetic variations - around five - which had enabled the virus to pass between ferrets - the best animal model we have for testing whether the virus will infect humans.
