The path to a successful HIV vaccine depends on a critical first step—activating specific immune cells that induce broadly neutralizing antibodies. Reporting Jan. 4 in the journal Cell, a research ...

Remember the 2016 Olympics in Brazil? It was the year Brazil defeated Germany in the final game of the men's football (aka soccer) tournament, but it was also the year when Zika virus made its entry ...

Scientists at The Wistar Institute have developed an HIV vaccine candidate that achieves something never before observed in ...

Researchers have developed a GPS vaccine that guides the immune system to create broadly neutralizing antibodies against HIV. For many years, researchers have been trying to develop an HIV vaccine ...

(A) Cryo-EM structure overview of HSV-1 gB in complex with D48 Fab. The side view and top view were presented. The HSV-1 gB trimer and D48 Fab VH/VL were colored differently. (B) Neutralization assay ...

A team led by the Duke Human Vaccine Institute (DHVI) has developed a vaccine approach that works like a GPS, guiding the immune system through the specific steps to make broadly neutralizing ...

“Our results show how different factors boost the formation of antibodies that broadly combat different viral strains. This will pave the way for us to systematically push ahead with the development ...

One of the things that emerging diseases, including the COVID and Zika pandemics, have taught us is that it’s tough to keep up with infectious diseases in the modern world. Things like air travel can ...

Antibodies are the immune system's precision tools for recognizing and neutralizing viruses, bacteria and other foreign ...
