Smarter vaccine design will circumvent regulatory T cell-mediated evasion in chronic HIV and HCV infection

Smarter vaccine design will circumvent regulatory T cell-mediated evasion in chronic HIV and HCV infection

Despite years of research, vaccines against HIV and HCV are not yet available, due largely to effective viral immunoevasive mechanisms. A novel escape mechanism observed in viruses that cause chronic infection is suppression of viral-specific effector CD4+ and CD8+ T cells by stimulating regulatory...
