Summary Introduction

To indicate: The viral aspects and its replicative strategy making it difficult to produce a vaccine against HIV.

Introduction: HIV refers to the human immunodeficiency virus that causes acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) in humans. This virus attacks the immune system of the body and interferes with the body’s ability to fight against infections.

Summary Introduction

To indicate: The other kind of viruses that might be similarly difficult to vaccinate.

Summary Introduction

To indicate: The similarities and differences that exist between the two types of viruses that account for the difficulties in vaccine production.

Efforts to produce an HIV vaccine have met with limited success. What aspects of the virus and its replicative strategy make it difficult to produce a vaccine against HIV? What other kind of virus might be similarly different to vaccinate against? What similarities and differences exist between the two types of virus that account for the differences in vaccine production?
1)Describe the key processes involved in vaccine manufacturing.2) Review the literature and identify the key players in the various mutants of the spikeprotein.3) How were the structures of ACE 2 and spike protein solved?4) Why is it easier to target a single mutant versus multiple mutants in the virus?5) There are several coronaviruses in the database, why is the SARS-CoV-2 sodangerous?6) Summarize the key difference in the invasion of cells by:a. HIVb. Adenovirusc. Anthraxd. SARS-CoV-2e. MERS
This is a hypothetical scenario. A recently emerged virus has been transmitting and mutating rapidly in humans throughout the world. If a vaccine that stops transmission of all current circulating variants of the virus in humans is utilized and herd immunity is achieved throughout the world, would this essentially stop 1) further transmission of the virus; 2) further mutation of the virus, respectively? Why/why not? Please answer the question succinctly and in bullet points!
