Two groups of scientists have cast doubt on a leading explanation for the failure of a key HIV vaccine. The two teams examined immune cells from volunteers who received the vaccine used in the STEP trial. The vaccine was built on a backbone made from a modified cold virus — adenovirus 5. In the STEP trial, people who had been infected with adenovirus 5 before receiving the experimental vaccine were more likely to become infected with HIV than people who had not. (source: nature.com)
