Abstract

HIV vaccines based on neutralising antibody and CD8 cytotoxic T-cell immunity have failed to induce protection in phase III clinical trials, while live attenuated HIV vaccines (although effective in simian models) are considered too dangerous to use in humans due to reversion to virulence. New strategies and lateral thinking are required to develop a safe and effective vaccine against HIV. Antibody dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) represents one such modality that provides potential advantages over previous modalities and may also have a role in efforts to cure HIV infection.
