Study offers new way to discover HIV vaccine targets

The researchers have developed and experimentally validated a computational method that can analyze viral protein sequences to determine how well different viral strains can reproduce in the body. That knowledge gives researchers an unprecedented guide for identifying viral vulnerabilities that could be exploited to design successful vaccine targets.

Injection-free vaccination technique could address global vaccine challenge for diseases such as HIV and malaria

Scientists at King’s College London have demonstrated the ability to deliver a dried live vaccine to the skin without a traditional needle, and shown for the first time that this technique is powerful enough to enable specialised immune cells in the skin to kick-start the immunising properties of the vaccine.

New insights into HIV vaccine will improve drug development

Four years ago, a potential HIV vaccine showed promise against the virus that causes AIDS, but it fell short of providing the broad protection necessary to stem the spread of disease. Now researchers -- led by Duke Medicine -- have gained additional insights into the workings of the vaccine that help explain why it benefited a third of recipients and left others vulnerable.

Crowdfunding an HIV Vaccine: Insane or Genius?

Under the guidance of my board at the Abzyme Research Foundation I launched a crowd-fund to start a new therapeutic vaccine on the FDA approval process on Dec. 1 In two weeks we have raised 50 percent of our initial goal and I believe the project is attractive to donors for two reasons.

Major Breakthrough in HIV Research: Swiss Vaccine Research Institute

A study published today online in The Journal of Experimental Medicine has identified the population of CD4 T cells serving as the major reservoir for HIV infected cells and as the primary cell site for HIV replication and production in infected patients. The identification of the major HIV CD4 T cell reservoir will be instrumental in developing therapeutic strategies to selectively target HIV infected cells.

SOUTH AFRICA: Two women unlock possible key to HIV vaccine

Two South African women may have helped unlock the key to a vaccine to rid the world of one its deadliest epidemics, according to new research released by South African HIV experts. Because they acquired HIV while taking part in large-scale clinical trials, researchers were able to follow them for years, discovering in the process that their bodies produce rare antibodies found in only one out of every five HIV patients.
