Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) targets important cells of our immune system, making infected individuals more ...

Many vaccines work by introducing a protein to the body that resembles part of a virus. Ideally, the immune system will produce long-lasting antibodies recognizing that specific virus, thereby ...

Repetitive HIV vaccinations can lead the body to produce antibodies targeting the immune complexes already bound to the virus ...

Researchers at the Max Planck Institute of Biophysics and Heidelberg University have observed largely intact HIV-1 capsids as ...

A unique reaction in which antibodies bind to other antibodies may help scientists at Scripps Research better understand how to design a vaccine ...

This is a mugshot of a killer. The little yellow dots are HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) particles, also called virions. HIV is the virus that causes AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome), an ...

For some HIV vaccines, repetitive immunizations lead to a chain reaction of antibody production against immune complexes ...

A technique invented by the lab, known as Electron Microscopy-Based Polyclonal Epitope Mapping (EMPEM), lets the researchers see exactly where on the HIV virus antibodies bind. When they carried ...
