One shot to stop HIV: MITs bold vaccine breakthrough Researchers from MIT and Scripps have unveiled a promising new HIV vaccine approach that generates a powerful immune response with just one dose By combining two immune-boosting adjuvants alum
Supercharged vaccine could offer strong protection with just . . . Researchers at MIT and elsewhere have developed a new HIV vaccine that could offer “strong protection with just one injection,” reports Ian Randall for Newsweek “The vaccine includes two ‘adjuvants’—materials that help stimulate the immune system response,” explains Randall
Two-part vaccine strategy generates a stronger, longer . . . Vaccines work by teaching the body to recognize dangerous viruses and bacteria, but HIV has proven to be a particularly challenging target because it mutates rapidly and hides from immune defenses To explore how to tackle this issue, the research team used an experimental HIV protein called MD39—a type of antigen, or molecule that triggers
Supercharged HIV vaccine could offer strong protection with . . . That nanoparticle, known as SMNP, is now being used as an adjuvant for an HIV vaccine that is currently in clinical trials Irvine and Love then tried combining alum and SMNP and showed that vaccines containing both of those adjuvants could generate even more powerful immune responses against either HIV or SARS-CoV-2 Perfect couple
Supercharged vaccine could offer strong protection with just . . . Researchers at MIT and the Scripps Research Institute have shown that they can generate a strong immune response to HIV with just one vaccine dose, by adding two powerful adjuvants — materials that help stimulate the immune system In a study of mice, the researchers showed that this approach produced a much wider diversity of antibodies against an HIV antigen, compared to the vaccine given
