We discuss a recent Nature Medicine publication by Philip Johnson and co-workers (Vector-mediated gene transfer engenders long-lived neutralizing activity and protection against SIV infection in monkeys. Nat. Med. 2009, 15: 901-906) in which an effective HIV-1 vaccine was designed that is based on gene therapy. The introduced gene produces an antibody-like immunoadhesin in the blood that neutralizes the virus. Commentary The current status of HIV vaccines The quest for a vaccine against the human immunodefi-ciency virus type 1 (HIV-1) has recently been given a bad prognosis [1]. Most attempts at developing an HIV-1 vac-cine have used substances (immunogens) aimed at stimu-lating the body's own immune system to produce antibodies or kil...
