Study confirms Ebola and Marburg Virus DNA Vaccines are Safe and Immunogenic In Africa. Successful execution of first Ebola vaccine study in Africa using early-generation vaccine candidate
Scientists used genetic sequencing to discover new evidence that the first vaccine shown to prevent HIV infection in people also affected the viruses in those who did become infected. Viruses with two genetic “footprints” were associated with greater vaccine efficacy. The results were published today in the online edition of the journal Nature.
New findings published today in the journal Science Translational Medicine show that host genetics played a role in protection against HIV infection in the landmark RV144 vaccine trial conducted in Thailand.
