The prospects for AIDS vaccines
1Division of AIDS, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Rockville, Md.
Abstract:
Several vaccine strategies against HIV are under study in phase 1 clinical trials. Many involve recombinant subunit preparations, and the question is which of these components of the virus may be immunogenic. Immune effectors and mediators that protect against HIV are also undefined. Vaccines may ultimately be used to treat as well as prevent AIDS.
