The identification of mechanisms that prevent infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) would facilitate the development of an effective AIDS vaccine. In time-course experiments, protection against detectable superinfection with homologous wild-type SIV was achieved within 21 days of inoculation with live attenuated SIV, prior to the development of detectable...
To determine whether attenuated simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) vaccines confer protection against superinfection via secondary cellular immune responses, we searched for markers of immune activation following rechallenge. Productive infection with either attenuated SIVmacC8 or wild-type SIVmacJ5 resulted in a transient increase in T-lymphocyte CD25 and Mafa-DR expression. A pronounced increase...
The experimental infection of macaques with simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) has provided strong evidence that it may be possible to develop a vaccine against AIDS. Live attenuated SIV vaccines have been found to confer the most potent protection against challenge with a variety of pathogenic viruses. This article summarizes the work performed at NIBSC to characterize the protection conferred by...
The use of HIV-1env/SIV mac chimeric viruses expressing divergent HIV-1 envelopes of clinical isolates, facilitates homologous and heterologous evaluation of various recombinant HIV-1 envelope vaccine candidates in lower primates. In this study we compare thein vitroandin vivoinfectivity, via intravenous (IV) and intravaginal (IVAG) routes of infection, of stocks of chimeric viruses expressingenvfrom...
