One promising strategy for an effective vaccine against HIV-1 focuses on designer antibodies that have much broader potency than most specific antibodies. These broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs) can handle the high mutation rate of HIV particles that makes normal, very specific antibodies useless within a short space of time.

Research Sheds Light on HIV Antibodies That are Worth the Wait
One promising strategy for an effective vaccine against HIV-1 focuses on designer antibodies that have much broader potency than most specific antibodies. These broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs) can handle the high mutation rate of HIV particles that makes normal, very specific antibodies useless within a short space of time.
