Article

Researchers discovered a new type of vaccine that could improve and sustain protection against HIV.1 The vaccine, discovered by investigators from Stanford’s School of Medicine and other institutions, is unlike almost any other on the market.

“By stimulating the cellular arm of the immune system, you can get stronger protection against HIV even with much lower levels of neutralizing antibodies,” said one of the senior authors, Bali Pulendran, in a release from the university.
