Since HIV integrates with the DNA, eliminating the virus from the body is very difficult, explains David Montefiori, PhD, director of the Laboratory for AIDS Vaccine Research and Development at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina. The failure of several late-stage trials highlights the challenging nature of HIV vaccine development.

The Indian company informed that the DNA vaccine was well tolerated in the first stage of the adaptive phase 1/2 trial. ZyCoV-D is designed to introduce DNA that encodes for a viral protein into human cells. By ordering human cells to make the protein, ZyCoV-D could cause an immune response against the coronavirus.

The noteworthy candidate, EBT-101, is designed to eliminate HIV proviral DNA using CRISPR-Cas9 along with two guide RNAs (gRNAs). These dual gRNAs target three specific sites within the HIV genome, facilitating the removal of substantial portions of the viral DNA and minimizing the potential for viral escape.

At a basic level, the virus’s protein ‘coat’ and the enzymes it uses to gain control of the host cell’s DNA mutate frequently, making it difficult to target with therapeutics. The reason there has been, as yet, no effective cure for the condition is due to the complexity of the virus and the way in which it is activated within the body.
