After nearly four decades of research, a safe and effective HIV-1 vaccine remains elusive. There are many reasons why the development of a potent and durable HIV-1 vaccine is challenging, including the extraordinary genetic diversity of HIV-1 and its com
Moreover, the routes of HIV transmission, predominantly sexual transmission along with perinatal and intravenous, provide a variety of obstacles to vaccine development. As a result, there has been a tremendous push toward the new strategies for antigen presentation, adjuvant development, and vaccine ...
The NAC has two complementary strategies for vaccine design. The first, termed reverse engineering [51] focuses on identification of the epitopes targeted by bnMAbs, understanding the molecular structure of these epitopes and Reverse engineering of HIV vaccines For many viruses, where natural ...
However, the development of HIV vaccine has long been a well-known problem worldwide. The focus of strategies in HIV vaccine development has experienced from mainly the production of humoral immune response, then mainly cellular immune response, and recently stressing on both humoral and cellular ...
As a result, the field has now pivoted to bold novel approaches, including sequential immunization strategies to drive the generation of broadly neutralizing antibodies and human CMV-vectored vaccines to elicit MHC-E-restricted CD8 T cell responses. Many of these vaccine candidates are now in phase...
people don’t need to seek regular healthcare as they will be protected by the vaccine. Maybe a vaccine will not be as effective as biologic PrEP, but people at different times in their lives are better able to access different types of strategies. So we think that a vaccine is complement...

In contrast to most AIDS vaccine strategies now being explored in clinical trials, administration of live attenuated SIV probably targets gut-associated memory CD4+ T cells in a way similar to infection with wild-type SIV. Thus, it is important to determine if the protection provided by live ...
