title: Progress toward the development of a bacterial vaccine vector that induces high-titer long-lived broadly neutralizing antibodies against HIV-1.
abstract: Conformationally constrained HIV-1 Env and gp120 immunogens induce broadly cross-reactive neutralizing antibodies. Thus, it is now feasible to rationally design an HIV-1 vaccine that affords protection through humoral mechanisms. This paper reviews our progress toward the development of an oral bacterial vaccine vector that is capable of delivering an HIV-1 DNA vaccine to host lymphoid tissues and inducing broadly neutralizing antibodies to HIV-1 in the mucosal and systemic immune compartments.
