Deskripsi

Oral vaccination is a potential option to elicit systemic and mucosal immunity against HIV. Here, Jones et al. show that oral vaccination with a modified needle-free injector induces protective immunity against SHIV in non-human primates and is superior to topical application of vaccines to oral tissues.
