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.

Over 26 weeks of Sunlenca combined with other antiretroviral drugs, 81 percent of participants achieved HIV RNA suppression, reaching levels low enough to be considered undetectable. The noteworthy candidate, EBT-101, is designed to eliminate HIV proviral DNA using CRISPR-Cas9 along with two guide RNAs (gRNAs).

Messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) is a single-stranded molecule that is complementary to a gene’s DNA. It is important in the process of protein synthesis because mRNA is responsible for transferring genetic information from DNA to ribosomes, which then decodes the genetic information into a protein.
