A new HIV vaccine delivery strategy appears to enhance the protective immune response in a preclinical model. Scientists at the La Jolla Institute for Immunology (LJI) have discovered that delivering an HIV vaccine in small doses over a series of days leads to a stronger immune response than when the same vaccine is given all at once.
A similar escalating dose method could be the best way...

Dual injections of cabotegravir, an experimental integrase inhibitor, and the n...
George Mason University's Yuntao Wu is the lead scientist on a research team that has identified a measurable indicator that could prove instrumental in the fight against HIV.
The research focuses on cofilin, a key protein that regulates cells to mobilize and fight against infection.
In an HIV-infected patient, cofilin dysfunction is a key factor in helper T cell defects, according to the ...
