Holy crap!
Read the article referenced in JP's post here which talks about a non-disease-causing virus, AAV2, which is found in the majority of the population, which kills certain cancer cells, as well as certain harmful virii.
Essentially, it seems that AAV2 is a parasite which preys on cancer cells, using them to reproduce and killing them in the process. It also goes after the cervical-cancer-causing HPV. Wow! Damn useful virus, especially if it is harmless to us AND a majority of us carry it anyway!
Cool find, JP. Good job, Penn State College of Medicine!
