Production of experimental AIDS vaccine. Technician using a light microscope to identify recombinant virus colonies that will be used to infect insect cells to express the desired protein for VaxSyn,an experimental AIDS vaccine. VaxSyn is based on a genetically-engineered,recombinant form of the HIV protein gp160,which is a precursor to one of HIV's surface proteins. VaxSyn contains no attenuated infectious parts of HIV & therefore carries no risk of transmitting AIDS. The vaccine is being developed by MicroGeneSys and is undergoing trials as a treatment of HIV-positive patients & as a potential vaccine against HIV infection | |
