Kenyans protest at being left off AIDS patent
Abstract
The terms of a collaboration on a potential HIV vaccine, between a British research team and the University of Nairobi, are to be revised after the Kenyan scientists complained that their names had been excluded from a patent application on the vaccine.The original patent on the subtype A DNA candidate vaccine was filed last year by the UK Medical Research Council in the names of Andrew McMichael and Tomas Hanke, of Oxford University's Institute of Molecular Medicine.
