Many regions of the gp120 molecule were found to contribute proliferative epitopes, although there were clearly regions of relative dominance and silence. Vaccine recipients tended to have broader, more robust, and more frequent peptide recognition than the placebo recipients. Despite the considerable variability in the pattern of peptide recognition among individuals, there was a striking similarity between the rgp160 and rgp120 vaccinee groups as a whole. Low-risk HIV-1-uninfected individuals may react to a few peptides within the gp120 sequence as well, despite a lack of significant response to the whole gp120 protein.  (+info)

Comparison of immunity generated by nucleic acid-, MF59-, and ISCOM-formulated human immunodeficiency virus type 1 vaccines in Rhesus macaques: evidence for viral clearance. (2/1614)

The kinetics of T-helper immune responses generated in 16 mature outbred rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta) within a 10-month period by three different human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) vaccine strategies were compared. Immune responses to monomeric recombinant gp120SF2 (rgp120) when the protein was expressed in vivo by DNA immunization or when it was delivered as a subunit protein vaccine formulated either with the MF59 adjuvant or by incorporation into immune-stimulating complexes (ISCOMs) were compared. Virus-neutralizing antibodies (NA) against HIV-1SF2 reached similar titers in the two rgp120SF2 protein-immunized groups, but the responses showed different kinetics, while NA were delayed and their levels were low in the DNA-immunized animals. Antigen-specific gamma interferon (IFN-gamma) T-helper (type 1-like) responses were detected in the DNA-immunized group, but only after the fourth immunization, and the rgp120/MF59 group generated both IFN-gamma and interleukin-4 (IL-4) (type 2-like) responses that appeared after the third immunization. In contrast, rgp120/ISCOM-immunized animals rapidly developed marked IL-2, IFN-gamma (type 1-like), and IL-4 responses that peaked after the second immunization. To determine which type of immune responses correlated with protection from infection, all animals were challenged intravenously with 50 50% infective doses of a rhesus cell-propagated, in vivo-titrated stock of a chimeric simian immunodeficiency virus-HIVSF13 construct. Protection was observed in the two groups receiving the rgp120 subunit vaccines. Half of the animals in the ISCOM group were completely protected from infection. In other subunit vaccinees there was evidence by multiple assays that virus detected at 2 weeks postchallenge was effectively cleared. Early induction of potent type 1- as well as type 2-like T-helper responses induced the most-effective immunity.  (+info)

Intracellular adhesion molecule-1 modulates beta-chemokines and directly costimulates T cells in vivo. (3/1614)

The potential roles of adhesion molecules in the expansion of T cell-mediated immune responses in the periphery were examined using DNA immunogen constructs as model antigens. We coimmunized cDNA expression cassettes encoding the adhesion molecules intracellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), lymphocyte function associated-3 (LFA-3), and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) along with DNA immunogens, and we analyzed the resulting antigen-specific immune responses. We observed that antigen-specific T-cell responses can be enhanced by the coexpression of DNA immunogen and adhesion molecules ICAM-1 and LFA-3. Coexpression of ICAM-1 or LFA-3 molecules along with DNA immunogens resulted in a significant enhancement of T-helper cell proliferative responses. In addition, coimmunization with pCICAM-1 (and more moderately with pCLFA-3) resulted in a dramatic enhancement of CD8-restricted cytotoxic T-lymphocyte responses. Although VCAM-1 and ICAM-1 are similar in size, VCAM-1 coimmunization did not have any measurable effect on cell-mediated responses. These results suggest that ICAM-1 and LFA-3 provide direct T-cell costimulation. These observations are further supported by the finding that coinjection with ICAM-1 dramatically enhanced the level of interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) and beta-chemokines macrophage inflammatory protein-1alpha (MIP-1alpha), MIP-1beta, and regulated on activation normal T-cell expression and secreted (RANTES) produced by stimulated T cells. Through comparative studies, we observed that ICAM-1/LFA-1 T-cell costimulatory pathways are independent of CD86/CD28 pathways and that they may synergistically expand T-cell responses in vivo.  (+info)

Rectal transmission of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 to chimpanzees. (4/1614)

Inoculation of chimpanzees with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) has been used as a model system to define mechanisms of pathogenesis and to test protective efficacy of candidate HIV-1 vaccines. In most of these studies, the animals were inoculated intravenously. However, because HIV-1 is transmitted primarily across mucosal surfaces, future evaluations of vaccines should employ mucosal routes for administering infectious virus to immunized animals. To develop a model of rectal transmission of HIV-1, chimpanzees were exposed without trauma to 4 different HIV-1 strains at doses ranging from 200 to 10,000 TCIDs. Infection, characterized by seroconversion and repeated isolation of virus from lymphocytes, was established in 1 of 5 animals. This animal was sequentially inoculated with a subtype B and then an E strain and was infected with both strains. The results show that rectal exposure of adult chimpanzees to cell-free HIV-1 was not an efficient mode of transmission in this cohort.  (+info)

Mucosal vaccination strategies for women. (5/1614)

Women were immunized orally, rectally, or vaginally with a recombinant cholera toxin B-containing vaccine to determine which of these mucosal immunization routes generate the greatest levels of antibody in the female genital tract and rectum. ELISA was used to measure concentrations of cholera toxin B-specific IgA and IgG antibody in serum and secretions before and after three immunizations. Each immunization route similarly increased specific IgG in serum and specific IgA in saliva. Only the vaginal route increased IgA antibodies in genital tract secretions and could be shown to induce a local IgG response. However, vaginal immunization failed to produce antibody in the rectum. In a similar fashion, rectal immunization elicited highest concentrations of locally derived IgA and IgG antibody in the rectum but was ineffective for generating antibody in the genital tract. The data suggest that local immunization may induce the greatest immune responses in the female genital tract and rectum of humans.  (+info)

Detection of intracellular antigen-specific cytokines in human T cell populations. (6/1614)

Determination of antigen-specific cytokine responses of T lymphocytes after vaccination is made difficult by the low frequency of responder cells. In order to detect these responses, the profile of intracellular cytokines was analyzed using flow cytometry after antigenic expansion. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were stimulated with antigens for 5 days, further expanded with interleukin (IL)-2, and then restimulated on day 10. Cytokine production was detected by intracellular staining with monoclonal antibodies after saponin-based permeabilization. Influenza expansion resulted in specific interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) production of 6%-20%, with less IL-4 production (0%-2%). Tetanus toxoid resulted in even greater production. IL-4 and IFN-gamma were produced mainly by memory cells of the CD45RO+ phenotype. IFN-gamma production was contributed by both CD4 and CD8 populations. These methods were then applied to a clinical trial of a candidate human immunodeficiency virus type 1 vaccine. Antigen-specific increases in IFN-gamma were measured, which corresponded to antibody production, lymphoproliferation, and skin testing.  (+info)

Protection of Macaques against pathogenic simian/human immunodeficiency virus 89.6PD by passive transfer of neutralizing antibodies. (7/1614)

The role of antibody in protection against human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) has been difficult to study in animal models because most primary HIV-1 strains do not infect nonhuman primates. Using a chimeric simian/human immunodeficiency virus (SHIV) based on the envelope of a primary isolate (HIV-89.6), we performed passive-transfer experiments in rhesus macaques to study the role of anti-envelope antibodies in protection. Based on prior in vitro data showing neutralization synergy by antibody combinations, we evaluated HIV immune globulin (HIVIG), and human monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) 2F5 and 2G12 given alone, compared with the double combination 2F5/2G12 and the triple combination HIVIG/2F5/2G12. Antibodies were administered 24 h prior to intravenous challenge with the pathogenic SHIV-89.6PD. Six control monkeys displayed high plasma viremia, rapid CD4(+)-cell decline, and clinical AIDS within 14 weeks. Of six animals given HIVIG/2F5/2G12, three were completely protected; the remaining three animals became SHIV infected but displayed reduced plasma viremia and near normal CD4(+)-cell counts. One of three monkeys given 2F5/2G12 exhibited only transient evidence of infection; the other two had marked reductions in viral load. All monkeys that received HIVIG, 2F5, or 2G12 alone became infected and developed high-level plasma viremia. However, compared to controls, monkeys that received HIVIG or MAb 2G12 displayed a less profound drop in CD4(+) T cells and a more benign clinical course. These data indicate a general correlation between in vitro neutralization and protection and suggest that a vaccine that elicits neutralizing antibody should have a protective effect against HIV-1 infection or disease.  (+info)

Mucosal vaccination overcomes the barrier to recombinant vaccinia immunization caused by preexisting poxvirus immunity. (8/1614)

Overcoming preexisting immunity to vaccinia virus in the adult population is a key requirement for development of otherwise potent recombinant vaccinia vaccines. Based on our observation that s.c. immunization with vaccinia induces cellular and antibody immunity to vaccinia only in systemic lymphoid tissue and not in mucosal sites, we hypothesized that the mucosal immune system remains naive to vaccinia and therefore amenable to immunization with recombinant vaccinia vectors despite earlier vaccinia exposure. We show that mucosal immunization of vaccinia-immune BALB/c mice with recombinant vaccinia expressing HIV gp160 induced specific serum antibody and strong HIV-specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte responses. These responses occurred not only in mucosal but also in systemic lymphoid tissue, whereas systemic immunization was ineffective under these circumstances. In this context, intrarectal immunization was more effective than intranasal immunization. Boosting with a second dose of recombinant vaccinia was also more effective via the mucosal route. The systemic HIV-specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte response was enhanced by coadministration of IL-12 at the mucosal site. These results also demonstrate the independent compartmentalization of the mucosal versus systemic immune systems and the asymmetric trafficking of lymphocytes between them. This approach to circumvent previous vaccinia immunity may be useful for induction of protective immunity against infectious diseases and cancer in the sizable populations with preexisting immunity to vaccinia from smallpox vaccination.  (+info)

The massive growth in global health research in past decades has posed many challenges for its effective ethical oversight, not least of which is how best to provide effective protection of research participants. The extent of the HIV epidemic in sub-Saharan Africa in particular makes research into prevention technologies for HIV, including HIV vaccine research, a global priority. However, the need for vaccine research must be considered in conjunction with the individuals right to informed consent, which is based on the principle of respect for autonomy. One of the primary human rights violations likely to occur in the context of HIV vaccine research is that potential research participants may not fully understand what participation in research studies entails. People who elect to enrol in HIV vaccine trials are required to understand both the potential negative effects of participation (eg, discrimination) as well as complex scientific concepts such as randomisation and prophylaxis in order ...

Background With the persistent challenges towards controlling the HIV epidemic, there is an ongoing need for research into HIV vaccines and drugs. Sub-Saharan African countries - worst affected by the HIV pandemic - have participated in the conduct of clinical trials for HIV vaccines. In Kenya, the Kenya AIDS Vaccine Initiative (KAVI) at the University of Nairobi has conducted HIV vaccine clinical trials since 2001. Methodology Participants were recruited after an extensive informed consent process followed by screening to determine eligibility. Screening included an assessment of risk behavior, medical history and physical examination, and if clinically healthy, laboratory testing. In the absence of locally derived laboratory reference ranges, the ranges used in these trials were derived from populations in the West. Principal findings Two hundred eighty-one participants were screened between 2003 and 2006 for two clinical trials. Of these, 167 (59.4%) met the inclusion/exclusion criteria. Overall,
A year ago, we reported on the push to discover an effective AIDS vaccine. As President Obama prepares to release his U.S. AIDS strategy, at least one pharmaceutical company is readying a crucial clinical trial of its vaccine against HIV/AIDS.. The AIDS Research Consortium of Atlanta recently put out a call for volunteers to test a DNA-based AIDS vaccine developed by GeoVax. Participants must have had a negative HIV test followed by a positive test six months later, and must have started drugs to fight the virus within the past six months. A total of 10 to 12 patients will be enrolled in the Phase I study. Participants will be monitored for up to 77 weeks. Although GeoVax is already testing the vaccine for virus prevention, this will be the first study to test the vaccine in individuals who already have the virus..

American researchers have come up with a new approach to vaccine design that could help them overcome the difficulties faced in developing an effective HIV vaccine.
To augment the immune responses elicited by these and other vaccines, scientists use immunologic adjuvants. Currently, only one adjuvant -- alum, first discovered in 1926 -- is incorporated into vaccines licensed for human use by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). An adjuvant may work well with one experimental vaccine and not another. Therefore, the FDA licenses the vaccine formulation, or the antigen-adjuvant combination, rather than the adjuvant alone. Experimental adjuvants can increase the type, strength and durability of immune responses evoked by an experimental vaccine. For example, some vaccine antigen/adjuvant combinations can induce cell-mediated immune responses, even if the vaccine antigen by itself does not. Some adjuvants also stimulate mucosal immunity. Alum primarily increases the strength of antibody responses generated by the vaccine antigen. Because of its limited activity, other adjuvants may be better suited for the newer candidate HIV vaccines ...

Designing an effective HIV/AIDS vaccine is something of a paradox: a good vaccine would be safe and look enough like HIV to kick-start the immune system into neutralizing the virus - but the problem is that this is exactly what the human immune system has trouble doing even when its exposed to the real thing.. Now a team of researchers led by scientists at The Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, CA has developed a strategy for inducing a key part of an effective immune response to HIV. By tracing the evolution of HIV-recognizing molecules called antibodies taken from the blood of rare individuals whose immune systems are naturally able to target and neutralize the virus, they may have found a way to replicate this for everybody.. At a talk next week at the American Crystallographic Association meeting in Hawaii, the team will present multiple crystal structures, which like detailed architectural blueprints show how the virus interacts with components of the immune system. Examining these ...

TY - CHAP. T1 - Challenges in designing HIV env immunogens for developing a vaccine. AU - Srivastava, Indresh K.. AU - Holland Cheng, R.. PY - 2008/1/1. Y1 - 2008/1/1. N2 - HIV continues to be a major health problem worldwide; however, the situation is particularly serious in Asian and Sub-Saharan countries. Development of an effective HIV vaccine could help to reduce the severity of the disease and prevent infection. Over the last two decades significant efforts have been made toward inducing potent humoral and cellular immune responses by vaccination; however, it appears that either antibodies or CTL may not be sufficient alone for the induction of sterilizing immunity or long-term control of viral replication. Therefore, it is generally believed that both humoral and cellular responses will be needed for an effective HIV vaccine. It has been shown in passive transfer experiments using broadly neutralizing monoclonal antibodies (mAb) such as b12, 2F5, and 2G12 that these mAbs either alone or ...

BACKGROUND RV144 is the only preventive HIV vaccine regimen demonstrating efficacy in humans. Attempting to build upon RV144 immune responses, we conducted a phase 1, multicenter, randomized, double-blind trial to assess the safety and immunogenicity of regimens substituting the DNA-HIV-PT123 (DNA) vaccine for ALVAC-HIV in different sequences or combinations with AIDSVAX B/E (protein).METHODS One hundred and four HIV-uninfected participants were randomized to 4 treatment groups (T1, T2, T3, and T4) and received intramuscular injections at 0, 1, 3, and 6 months (M): T1 received protein at M0 and M1 and DNA at M3 and M6; T2 received DNA at M0 and M1 and protein at M3 and M6; T3 received DNA at M0, M1, M3, and M6 with protein coadministered at M3 and M6; and T4 received protein and DNA coadministered at each vaccination visit.RESULTS All regimens were well tolerated.

Recently, the Merck pharmaceutical company reported that its experimental HIV vaccine raised the rate of HIV infection among people who got the trial vaccine. Yes, you read that right. It was worse than nothing. This vaccine was composed of a few HIV proteins strapped onto an adenovirus, which causes colds. Among people with good immunity to this common cold virus, about 80% of the population, it increased the chances of contracting HIV. The saddest part is that this is not surprising. Virologists have long been skeptical about the possibility of an effective HIV vaccine. HIV infects the very immune cells that you stimulate to defend your body against it. Stimulating these cells increases the rate at which HIV can infect those cells and the rate of HIV replication in these cells. Thus, an HIV vaccine can make it more likely that you’ll get AIDS, and you might get it sooner and worse than if you weren’t immunized. So far, no one has found the Holy Grail of HIV vaccines: a ...

A new study by the federal National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases shows that many Americans think a preventive vaccine for HIV already exists and is being kept secret. NIAID surveys showed that 48% of African-American and 28% of Latino respondents believe that such a vaccine has been developed and is being kept from the public. Overall, about 20% of the 3,500 adults surveyed reported believing that a secret vaccine exists. Other widely reported misconceptions include a fear that HIV vaccines can cause HIV infection in clinical trial volunteers.. To help debunk such beliefs, NIAID is sponsoring the sixth annual HIV Vaccine Awareness Day on May 18. The goal of the event is to provide accurate information about HIV/AIDS and HIV vaccine research to the public. HIV vaccine research is our best hope, along with other prevention and treatment efforts, to slow the spread of HIV, said NIAID director Anthony Fauci. NIAID is committed to educating the public to help correct misconceptions ...

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Background South Africa is the country with the largest number of HIV infections in the world. As behaviour change initiatives have been suboptimal in curbing the spread of the pandemic, an HIV vaccine is likely to be an important development as a biological agent may circumvent some of the challenges of initiating widespread behaviour change. The development of an HIV vaccine will require several thousands of HIV negative participants who are at high risk of HIV infection to participate in HIV vaccine clinical trials. Before recruitment for such trials may begin, various scientific, ethical, and sociobehavioural issues need to be considered. One of the key sociobehavioural issues concerns the willingness of individuals at high risk of HIV infection to participate in HIV vaccine trials.

An independent Data and Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) met this week to review interim data from a large, international HIV vaccine clinical trial known as the STEP study - also referred to as the HVTN 502 or Merck V520-023 study. The clinical trial, which began enrolling volunteers in December 2004, is co-sponsored by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and the pharmaceutical company Merck & Co. Inc., which also developed and supplied the candidate vaccine. Based on a review of interim data, the DSMB concluded that the vaccine cannot be shown in this trial to prevent HIV infection or affect the course of the disease in those who become infected with HIV (the vaccine itself cannot cause HIV infection because it contains only synthetically produced snippets of viral material). Therefore, Merck and NIAID instructed all study sites to cease administering the investigational vaccine but continue scheduled follow-up ...

ROCKVILLE, Md., Oct. 29, 2008 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nabi Biopharmaceuticals (Nasdaq:NABI) announced today positive final results from its Phase 2 NicVAX(r) (Nicotine Conjugate Vaccine) schedule optimization immunogenicity study to assess the antibody response and safety of a 400 microgram, six dose immunization schedule. The vaccine lot used in this study is from the same lot used in the Phase 2b proof-of-concept trial whose results were announced in November 2007. Final results from the study confirmed the positive interim results announced in July that significantly higher anti-nicotine antibody levels can be generated three months earlier and in a much higher percentage of subjects for sustained periods of time than observed in previous NicVAX studies. Antibody levels achieved at 14 weeks were more than 2-fold higher than those achieved at the same time point in the Phase 2b proof-of-concept study as a result of the added injection. Moreover, greater than 80% of subjects who completed the six- ...
OBJECTIVES: Therapeutic HIV vaccinations may alter the size of the resting memory CD4 T-cell latent HIV reservoir as HIV establishes latency when memory responses are formed, including those toward HIV. Alternatively, latently infected CD4 T cells maybe killed, while exiting the reservoir upon activation. METHODS: The effect of therapeutic immunization with modified vaccinia Ankara and Fowlpox-based HIV vaccines on the latent reservoir was examined in 19 young adults who were receiving effective antiretroviral therapy. Correlations between size of the reservoir [measured in infectious units per million (IUPM)] resting CD4 T cells and HIV-specific immune responses, including immune activation were examined. Decay of the reservoir was assessed using random-effects model. RESULTS: A modest transient decrease in the size of the reservoir was observed at week 40 [mean -0.31 log(10) IUPM (95% confidence interval: -0.60 to -0.03; P = 0.03] following HIV vaccinations. The estimated half-life (T1/2) of the
The ALVAC-HIV/AIDSVAX-B/E RV144 vaccine trial showed an estimated efficacy of 31%. RV144 secondary immune correlate analysis demonstrated that the combination of low plasma anti-HIV-1 Env IgA antibodies and high levels of antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) inversely correlate with infection risk. One hypothesis is that the observed protection in RV144 is partially due to ADCC-mediating antibodies. We found that the majority (73 to 90%) of a representative group of vaccinees displayed plasma ADCC activity, usually (96.2%) blocked by competition with the C1 region-specific A32 Fab fragment. Using memory B-cell cultures and antigen-specific B-cell sorting, we isolated 23 ADCC-mediating nonclonally related antibodies from 6 vaccine recipients. These antibodies targeted A32-blockable conformational epitopes (n = 19), a non-A32-blockable conformational epitope (n = 1), and the gp120 Env variable loops (n = 3). Fourteen antibodies mediated cross-clade target cell killing. ADCC-mediating ...

Vaccination seems to be the key to curtailing the HIV epidemic but all efforts to make a clinically effective vaccine have failed to date. Eliciting high titres of neutralising antibodies at the mucosal portals of viral entry is a key goal in HIV vaccine research. Thus, this thesis specifically focuses at the strategic development and evaluation of women-controlled mucosal vaccine delivery systems for HIV envelope based constructs, H4A, gp140 and FP-A for the purpose of eliciting high antibody titres at the vaginal mucosa. Sustained release rod-insert vaginal rings (RiRs) loaded with gp140, quick release rods containing H4A, FP-A loaded liposomal gels and microneedles in conjunction with mucosal inoculations were evaluated for induction of specific antibodies in animal models (sheep/mice/rabbits). The formulations were evaluated mainly using vaginal delivery with nasal route being used as an auxiliary. However, we found that the nasal route was extremely potent compared to the vaginal route for ...
HVTN 505 is a preventative vaccine efficacy trial testing DNA followed by recombinant adenovirus serotype 5 (rAd5) in circumcised, Ad5-seronegative men and transgendered persons who have sex with men in the United States. Identified immune correlates of lower HIV-1 risk and a virus sieve analysis revealed that, despite lacking overall efficacy, vaccine-elicited responses exerted pressure on infecting HIV-1 viruses. To interrogate the mechanism of the antibody correlate of HIV-1 risk, we examined antigen-specific antibody recruitment of Fcγ receptors (FcγRs), antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis (ADCP), and the role of anti-envelope (anti-Env) IgG3. In a prespecified immune correlates analysis, antibody-dependent monocyte phagocytosis and antibody binding to FcγRIIa correlated with decreased HIV-1 risk. Follow-up analyses revealed that anti-Env IgG3 breadth correlated with reduced HIV-1 risk, anti-Env IgA negatively modified infection risk by Fc effector functions, and that vaccine ...

There is an imperative need for effective preventive vaccines against human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) as it poses a significant threat to the immunologically immature, causing congenital disease, and to the immune compromised including transplant recipients. In this study we examined the efficacy of synthetic long peptides (SLPs) as a CD4+ and CD8+ T cell-eliciting preventive vaccine approach against mouse CMV (MCMV) infection. In addition, the use of agonistic OX40 antibodies to enhance vaccine efficacy was explored. Immunocompetent C57BL/6 mice were vaccinated in a prime-boost vaccination regiment with SLPs comprising various MHC class I and II-restricted peptide epitopes of MCMV-encoded antigens. Enforced OX40 stimulation resulted in superior MCMV-specific CD4+ as CD8+ T cell responses when applied during booster SLP vaccination. Vaccination with a mixture of SLPs containing MHC class II epitopes and OX40 agonistic antibodies resulted in a moderate reduction of the viral titers after challenge with
The discovery of these exceptionally broadly neutralizing antibodies to HIV and the structural analysis that explains how they work are exciting advances that will accelerate our efforts to find a preventive HIV vaccine for global use, says Anthony S. Fauci, M.D., director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), National Institutes of Health. In addition, the technique the teams used to find the new antibodies represents a novel strategy that could be applied to vaccine design for many other infectious diseases. Led by a team from the NIAID Vaccine Research Center (VRC), the scientists found two naturally occurring, powerful antibodies called VRC01 and VRC02 in an HIV infected individuals blood using a novel molecular device they developed that hones in on the specific cells that make antibodies against HIV. The device is an HIV protein that the scientists modified so it would react only with antibodies specific to the site where the virus binds to cells it ...

The quest for an efficacious HIV vaccine has resulted in several clinical trial failures, including the Step Trial, which used a replication-incompetent adenovirus (AdV) vector called human adenovirus type 5 (HAdV-5). Despite eliciting strong cellular immune responses, these trials were prematurely halted due to statistical futility resulting from increased HIV acquisition in vaccinated individuals. The Step Study showed increased HIV susceptibility in HAdV-5 baseline seropositive subjects, which complicates the use of HAdV-5 vectors since pre-existing neutralizing antibodies (nAb) to HAdV-5 are prevalent worldwide. Sampling the unique immunological phenotypes of the rectal mucosa - the site of HIV infection in the Step Study, and of AdV persistence and trafficking - could help explain this trial, since only peripheral blood (PBMC) was collected from subjects. We obtained rectal lamina propria T lymphocytes (rLPL) from a rhesus macaque (RM) model vaccinated with a species-specific simian Ad type 7 (SAdV
Table 3 shows the results. The hypotheses predict a positive parameter for Ab1 X Cf term and a negative parameter for Cb2 X Cf term. Results support this prediction: The parameter estimate was positive and significant for Ab1 X Cf term (bAb1xCf=.387, t=3.286, p , .01) and negative and significant for Cb2 X Cf term (bCb2xCf= -.325, t= -3.154, p , .01). As expected, the parameter estimate was insignificant for attitude confidence (bCf= -.017, t= -.280). These results support H4-a and H4-b.. Although our major concern was the effect of ad exposure on brand attitudes at a later time, we additionally investigated the effects of Aad1 and Ab1 on Aad2 in each evaluation group. In the ad evaluation group, Aad2 appeared to be influenced by Aad1 more than by Ab1 (.357 vs. -.122), whereas in the brand evaluation group Aad2 appeared to be influenced by Ab1 more than by Aad1 (.605 vs. .046). The reason is thought to be that in the ad evaluation group Aad1 is more salient than Ab1, whereas in the brand ...

There is increasing interest in the use of viral and nonviral systems as vectors to elicit anti-HIV-1 immune responses. The human clinical testing of these vectors can be guided by results of comparative studies in appropriate nonhuman primate immunogenicity and challenge model systems. Recently, we reported on the ability of SIV Gag delivered by DNA, MVA, or adenovirus type 5 vectors to inhibit viral replication and disease progression in rhesus macaques following challenge with SHIV89.6P (25). The best degree of viremia control and CD4 cell count preservation was observed in animals that had been immunized with the adenovirus type 5 vector either by itself or in a prime-boost combination with DNA. In contrast, only 50% of the animals that received MVA alone or in combination with DNA were able to effectively control viremia.. In this report, we evaluated the cellular immune responses to HIV-1 Gag induced by similar DNA, MVA, and adenovirus vectors. The studies were conducted with macaques that ...

The death of three monkeys that had been administered an AIDS vaccine in a Boston lab suggests that vaccines intended to prime the immune system to control HIV in the body and prevent disease progression may not offer total protection from AIDS. Numerous HIV vaccines in development aim to boost the bodys defenses to hold the virus in check, with animal studies to date suggesting that the protection offered by the vaccines could last for years, if not indefinitely. However, researchers at the 10th annual Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections in Boston on Wednesday reported that three of four monkeys involved in such a study at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston eventually fell sick and died, even after initially showing strong resistance to the virus. All three died within three years of receiving the experimental vaccine developed by Merck.. Researchers were split on their opinions of the Merck vaccine data.

Glenda E. Gray, M.B., B.Ch., from the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, and colleagues randomly assigned 5,404 adults (median age, 24 years; 70 percent women) without HIV-1 infection to receive canarypox-protein HIV vaccine or placebo (2,704 and 2,700 participants, respectively) in a phase 2b-3 trial in South Africa. The vaccine regimen included injections of ALVAC-HIV at months 0 and 1 followed by ALVAC-HIV plus bivalent subtype C gp120-MF59 adjuvant booster injections at months 3, 6, 12, and 18.. The researchers found that at an interim analysis in January 2020, prespecified criteria for nonefficacy were met, and further vaccinations were subsequently halted. There was a similar incidence of adverse events in the vaccine and placebo groups. HIV-1 infection was diagnosed in 138 and 133 participants in the vaccine and placebo groups, respectively, during the 24-month follow-up (hazard ratio, 1.02; 95 percent confidence interval, 0.81 to 1.30; P = 0.84)..

HIV vaccines were not part of the main stage at the Durban Aids Conference held in 2000. Our knowledge and experience in HIV vaccine development were rudimentary at this time; our journey to understanding the complexity of designing immunogens to elicit effective immune responses was just beginning. But HIV vaccines are a now pivotal part of the prevention research agenda: there is scientific optimism about the ability to develop an effective vaccine and South Africa is now a central point in this research. The intervening 16 years between the Durban conferences has brought a series of hard-won understandings about how HIV works in orchestrating its transmission from person to person and between communities. Our past approaches to vaccine development have largely been ineffective because the viruss exterior coating, what we call its envelope structure, has areas of immune dampening. In these areas, immune decoys are set up and evolve so cleverly that the initial, critical antibodies that are made to

Image Credit: Thinkstock.com. September 11, 2013 Brett Smith for redOrbit.com - Your Universe Online A promising new AIDS vaccine being developed at Oregon Health & Science University has demonstrated the capacity to effectively remove all traces of an AIDS-causing virus from non-human primates, according to a newly published report in the journal Nature. The vaccine is being tested on a primate form of HIV, called simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV), which causes AIDS in monkeys. After working further to refine the vaccine, OHSU scientists said they hoped an HIV-form of the potential vaccine could soon be tested in human subjects. To date, HIV infection has only been cured in a very small number of highly-publicized but unusual clinical cases in which HIV-infected individuals were treated with anti-viral medicines very early after the onset of infection or received a stem cell transplant to combat cancer, said Dr. Louis Picker, associate director of the OHSU Vaccine and Gene Therapy ...
