How genetically engineered viruses develop into effective vaccines

Lentiviral vectors are virus particles that can be used as a vaccine to stimulate the immune system to fight against specific pathogens. The vectors are derived from HIV, rendered non-pathogenic, and then engineered to carry genetic material into the body’s immune cells; the genes program the cells to fight specific pathogens. New research from the...
