Scripps Research scientists in La Jolla will get about half the money over the grant's seven-year life, said Dennis Burton, co-chair of the Department of Immunology and Microbiology at Scripps Research, and CHAVD's director. The rest goes to 13 other CHAVD groups, including projects at four foreign locations.

The grant from NIH's National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases puts into action knowledge gained from research under a previous seven-year grant, Burton said. A series of shots is envisioned to "train" the immune system how to make powerful antibodies that neutralize a broad range of HIV strains.
