摘要
The epidemic of human immunodeficiency virus type 1(HIV-1)remains amajor threat to global public health,with approximately 38 million people living with HIV-1 worldwide.However,a prophylactic vaccine against HIV-1 is not available yet.In a recent study,1 Leggat and colleagues reported the first-in-human test of a germline-targeting HIV-1 vaccine candidate,eOD-GT860-mer adjuvanted with AS01B.Encouragingly,this strategy effectively activated the B cell precursors(germlines)of VRC01-class broadly neutralizing antibodies(bnAbs)in 97%(35 of 36)of vaccine recipients.
