Overview

The HIV mRNA vaccine is an investigational immunization being developed by Afrigen Biologics and Vaccines, a biotechnology company based in Cape Town, South Africa. This vaccine candidate is a key component of the mRNA Technology Transfer Programme, co-led by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Medicines Patent Pool (MPP), which aims to build vaccine manufacturing capacity in low- and middle-income countries. The vaccine utilizes messenger RNA (mRNA) technology to deliver genetic instructions to host cells, prompting them to express specific HIV antigens. These antigens are intended to stimulate the immune system to mount a robust response, including the production of neutralizing antibodies and the activation of T-cells, to prevent or treat HIV/AIDS. The project focuses on addressing the high burden of HIV in Africa, though specific details regarding the antigen design and clinical trial phases are currently in the early stages of development.
