Discovery Of New HIV Antibodies Opens Door To Effective AIDS Vaccine

By examining blood samples donated by infected people in developing countries, US researchers have found two new powerful antibodies to HIV that open the door to a new and effective AIDS vaccine. The antibodies, called PG9 and PG16, are of a type known as bNAbs (broadly neutralizing antibodies) and exploit an “Achilles heel” or vulnerable spot in the HIV that could be an effective target for a vaccine, said the researchers.
