The vaccines also appeared to trigger a reaction in the body's T-Cells, which help by destroying cells that have been invaded by the virus.

According to official records, it will be a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. Officials also mentioned that vaccination of risk groups, such as doctors and teachers, may be carried out "in parallel" — but it remains unclear whether it will be done as part of the study.Michael Head, a senior research fellow in global health at Britain's University of Southampton, agreed the Russian vaccine appeared to be "promising", but that further studies were needed.

How many HIV vaccines during the height of research and development did we see do the same on to fail miserably when trials ramped up.
