An article distributed by UPI reports on research by microbiologist Terry Connell, that indicates that certain proteins appear to have the potential to enhance the production of antibodies against a multitude of infectious agents. "Almost every bacterium and virus that attacks us doesn't bore through the skin," he said. "These infectious agents enter by colonizing the mucosal surfaces on the eye, sinuses, mouth, gut lining, lung and genital tract."
