A team of scientists from the University of Adelaide in South Australia and Queen Elizabeth Hospital is developing a DNA vaccine against HIV. The first test results were published in a specialized journal.
Scientists have studied the data for four years to create a cold virus, which was introduced on the basis of a DNA vaccine into the immune system of laboratory mice. The research team focused on the areas where HIV infection is most common. The obtained test results showed that there was a significant reduction in the rate of infection development in mice.
The vaccine, which is inserted into the DNA molecule, will help stop the spread of HIV throughout the body. For a person who first encounters a virus, this is the most important task, scientists emphasize.
Australian experts hope that their research is a step in the right direction and do not plan to stop. Their main goal now is to create a vaccine against HIV that will operate under the guise of DNA.
