Abstract:
Recent researches have suggested approaches to HIV immunization that might result in at least a partially effective vaccine against infection with HIV-1. In particular, advances in our understanding of animal models, the vaccine-elicited celluar immunity and neutralizing antibody provide rational strategies for the development of this vaccine. Some advanced-phase clinical trials of HIV vaccine are ongoing. Although the creation of an effective HIV-1 vaccine remains an enormous challenge, the continuing progress in these areas provides a reason to be optimistic about our ultimate ability to control the spread of AIDS.
