New Insights Into HIV Immunity Suggest Alternative Approach to Vaccines

...s. "The fundamental problem in all of HIV vaccine research has been that when you inject the envelope of the HIV virus into people or animals, no broadly neutralizing antibodies ?those antibodies that kill most HIV strains ?are made. This provides a plausible explanation for why broadly protective antibodies...
