Utilizing the herpes simplex virus-based vaccine vectors to develop a COVID-19 vaccine
Researchers in the lab of David Knipe have constructed the HSV-1 based vaccine vector HSV-1 d106S. The vector can express viral, bacterial, or cancer gene products and has been used to induce protective immunity in humanized mice against HIV and…

A fusion intermediate state of HIV-1 gp41, targeted by broadly neutralizing antibodies, for purposes of vaccination
HIV infection generally induces a strong antibody response to the envelope glycoprotein, the sole antigen on the virion surface. Most of the induced antibodies are ineffective in preventing infection, however, as they are either non-neutralizing or…
