However, the antiretroviral therapy alone has been unable to eradicate the virus from HIV-infected individuals. To reduce the incidence of HIV infection on a global scale, vaccine is still the most cost-effective method. Due in part to the lack of a comprehensive understanding of immune correlates of protection, an effective HIV vaccine has not yet been developed. Since CD4+ T cells play a central role in orchestrating various arms of immune responses, vaccines that mobilize CD4+ T cells should help to elicit desired immune responses for the prevention of HIV ..
