Dr. Amir Ardeshir and a team in Dr. @mamartins83.bsky.social's lab at @wertheimufscripps.bsky.social used AAV vectors to generate #HIV1 immunity in infant rhesus macaques! Article: https://go.nature.com/4lwHts2 Episode with discussion: https://bit.ly/4mIESvZ

Nature research paper: Determinants of successful AAV-vectored delivery of HIV-1 bNAbs in early life go.nature.com/46C1xWa

"Evidence is growing that some HIV-infected infants, if given antiretroviral drugs early in life, are able to suppress their viral loads to undetectable levels and then come off the medicine." www.wired.com/story/the-fi...

I really enjoyed this WIRED article on the prospects of curing pediatric HIV. Grateful to see our work on AAV-vectored delivery of HIV bNAbs featured. I hope it can move toward clinical trials as a potential “one-and-done” strategy to treat HIV infection in children. www.wired.com/story/the-fi...

I’m happy to share the latest paper from my lab published in Nature today. nature.com/articles/s41... We show in rhesus macaques that a single dose of AAV/bNAb vectors at birth was safe and resulted in bNAb levels in plasma that lasted for up to 4 years without redosing.
