EditorialThe continuing HIV vaccine saga: is a paradigm shift necessary?Kendall A Smith The Division of Immunology, Department of Medicine, Weill Medical College, Cornell University, New York, NY, 10021, USA Medical Immunology 2006,
5:2doi:10.1186/1476-9433-5-2 Abstract
As pointed out in previous editorials, the development of an effective vaccine for the Human Immunodeficiency Virus capable of preventing infection, or even one capable of preventing the Acquired Immunodeficiency Disease Syndrome, has eluded investigators for the past 20 years. Now Reche and Keskin and their co-workers have provided evidence that an entirely new approach, based upon modern bioinformatics methods and skillful in vitro immunological experiments, may result in an effective way to prime the T cell immune response of normal individuals against conserved peptide epitopes. |
