Tests on lab mice have opened up a new path towards a vaccine against HIV, one of the most frustrating quests in the 30-year history of AIDS, scientists reported on Wednesday. Genetically modified mice fought back the virus after they had been injected with genes to make antibodies, the first line of defence in the immune system, the report said in the journal Nature.
