GSK Looks to Develop Cheap HIV Vaccine
22 June 2005
By Stephen Foley
GlaxoSmithKline, the UK's biggest drug maker, has promised to step up work to find a vaccine against HIV and has promised to sell any product at affordable prices to the developing world.
The company yesterday said it was setting up a joint research team with the not-for-profit International Aids Vaccine Initiative to concentrate work on what it hopes will be a breakthrough approach to the virus.
The pair will collaborate on a treatment derived from a chimpanzee virus which has been engineered to be non-infectious but which could spark the immune systems of humans into responding against HIV.
