HIV Antibody Breakthrough?

The Advocate reports:

Researchers in France reported Tuesday that they've discovered a way in a laboratory setting to stimulate immune system antibodies to widely recognize and target HIV, the first time such a success has been achieved against a broad genetic range of the virus, Agence France-Presse reports....The French scientists focused their efforts on stimulating antibodies to target a tiny area of a surface protein that they say remains unchanged across the range of various HIV subtypes. The area is called CBD1 and is part of HIV's key gp41 protein.
