New templates for HIV-1 antibody-based vaccine design
A current strategy for the design of neutralizing antibody-based vaccines to prevent HIV-1 transmission is that of reverse engineering, starting from a neutralizing antibody and working back to reconstruct its epitope by structure-based design technology. However, the field has been impeded by a lack of appropriate antibodies for use as templates. Recently, new antibodies have been described th...

R. Pantophlet (ed.), HIV Glycans in Infection and Immunity, DOI 10.1007/978-1-4614-8872-9_6, © Springer Science+Business Media New York 2014 Abstract HIV has evolved a number of strong defense mechanisms, including extensive glycosylation of its surface envelope glycoprotein, to evade host immune responses. Nevertheless, the discovery of a series of glycan-dependent broadly neutralizing antibod...
متن کاملDesign and tests of an HIV vaccine.
It is likely that a successful vaccine against HIV will need to stimulate the innate immune system, generate high levels of neutralising antibody, strong cellular immune responses, and mucosal immunity. Early efforts to develop HIV vaccines attempted to use the virus glycoprotein, gp120, to induce neutralising antibody, but did not take into account the trimeric structure of the native glycopro...
متن کاملAn HIV-1 Mini Vaccine Induced Long-lived Cellular and Humoral Immune Responses
Memory formation is the most important aspect of a vaccine which can guarantee long-lasting immunity and protection. The main aim of the present study was to evaluate the memory immune responses after immunization with a mini vaccine. Mice were immunized with human immunodeficiency virus-1 P24-Nef fusion peptide and then cellular and humoral immune responses were evaluated. In order to determin...
متن کاملThe HIV-1 Vaccine Race
There is an urgent need to come up with a vaccine that will curtail the spread of HIV-1. To be successful, the scientific community must work in concert to develop sound strategies based on a deeper understanding of the virus. Significant technological advances are also required to overcome the unique obstacles posed by HIV-1. Some of the challenges we face in this endeavor are discussed here.
