  • Title: [BCG vaccination and development of an innovative vaccine for preventing vertical HIV transmission in Africa].
    Author: Pontrelli G, Colizzi V.
    Journal: Ig Sanita Pubbl; 2006; 62(2):189-99. PubMed ID: 17206189.
    Abstract:
    "Families First Africa" is an international project whose main objective is to develop a pediatric vaccine that protects infants against HIV transmission during breast feeding. The vaccine being developed consists of HIV peptides matching HLA genotypes of the Western Africa population and will be administered in association with BCG vaccine which acts as a strong adjuvant. An alternative strategy is to administer a recombinant BCG vaccine with HIV gene fragments which codify for the same peptides.
