The bane of conventional vaccines, such as those that include whole organisms or large proteins, appear to be the inclusion of unnecessary antigenic load that, not only contributes little to the protective immune response, but complicates the situation...
متن کاملProgress in HIV vaccine development.
Recent advances in HIV vaccine development include initiation of the first efficacy trials and substantial expansion of the preclinical pipeline. Several preclinical candidate vaccines have induced strong cellular immune responses and provided impressive protection against AIDS in non-human primate models; however, candidates that induce broadly neutralizing antibodies remain elusive.
