title: AIDS vaccine research in the UK.
abstract: The UK Medical Research Council initiated a Directed Programme, aimed at developing vaccines for prevention and drugs for treatment of HIV infection and AIDS, in April 1987. This is a single collaborative research programme encompassing work in about 100 UK laboratories together with a small number in Europe and the USA. The third annual workshop for the programme, held at the University of Sheffield in September 1989, which brought together nearly 400 scientists, technical staff and students, as well as representatives of other national AIDS research programmes, showed that the Directed Programme is now well established and productive, making important contributions to the worldwide effort to control AIDS.
