This would teach the immune system's T cells to recognize and kill AIDS-infected cells...
...chicken pox. HIV won yet another round, but the game is long--and science is patient. How an aids vaccine could work [This article contains a complex diagram. Please see hardcopy of magazine.] 1 A cold virus has been engineered to carry three synthetically produced HIV genes 2 Dendritic cells in the immune system absorb the virus and display the HIV gene product on their surface 3 T cells then learn to recognize those HIV markers on dendritic cells and become sensitized to them 4 Should a cell infected with the real AIDS virus present itself later, the cells...
