The Key to a Cure

6 years ago HIV Cure Community Partnership Community, Things of Interest

How broadly neutralising antibodies are driving the quest for an HIV vaccine

6 years ago HIV Cure Community Partnership Vaccines

Most vaccines work by triggering the immune system to make antibodies that can protect against (or neutralise) infection. Vaccination typically elicits antibodies that are the same as those created in infection, and they do a good job at protecting the vaccinated person from infection. Neutralising antibodies are rare in HIV infection In HIV infection, the…

Pause the pills: would you interrupt treatment for HIV cure research?
