"New" approach to HIV vaccine?

Ralph Pantophlet, a Faculty of Health Sciences assistant professor, and Kate Auyeung, his senior research assistant and lab manager at (Simon Fraser University) SFU, and scientists in Italy have made a breakthrough discovery about Rhizobium radiobacter.
Pantophlet and his colleagues believe the sugar molecules on Rhizobium radiobacter could be used to trigger our immune system to immediately recognize those on HIV, prompting more immediate awareness of the virus’ invasion. (from Infection Control Today )
