Protection of Macaques against a SHIV with a Homologous HIV-1 Env and a Pathogenic SHIV-89.6P with a Heterologous Env by Vaccination with Multiple Gene-Deleted SHIVs

Abstract: To evaluate the potential of SHIVs as anti-HIV-1 live vaccines, we constructed two gene-deleted SHIVs, designated SHIV-drn and SHIV-dxrn. The former lacks vpr/nef and the latter lacks vpx/vpr/nef. Four macaques that had been vaccinated with SHIV-drn were challenged with SHIV-NM-3rN, which has an HIV-1 Env that is the same as that of SHIV-drn. No challenge virus was detected by DNA PCR in, or recovered from, two of the macaques. In the other two, challenge virus was detected once and twice, respectively. Plasma… Show more

“…cDNA duplicates were amplified by SYBR green real-time PCR assay previously described (26) with some modifications. Briefly, primers that recognize specific and highly conserved sequences on the gag region of SIV described by Ui et al (27) were selected. The sequences of SIV gag primers were 5Ј-GGAAATTAC CCAGTACAACAAATAGG-3Ј and 5Ј-TCTATCAATTTTACCCAG GCATTTA-3Ј.…”

“…Animal lentiviral systems used as AIDS vaccine models have included simian/human immunodeficiency virus (SHIV)-monkey, simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV)-monkey, equine infectious anemia virus (EIAV)-horse, and feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV)-cat models (1). Interestingly, the greatest level of success has been realized with live attenuated animal lentivirus vaccines that are able to drive a critical maturation of virus-specific humoral and cellular immune responses (3,4,15,16,20,29,(36)(37)(38).…”

“…The total viral DNA obtained after the purification procedure (29) was used for SYBR Green real-time PCR assay, as previously described (30), with some modifications. Briefly, primers that recognize specific and highly conserved sequences on the gag region of SIV described by Ui et al (31) were selected. The sequences of SIV gag primers were 5Ј-GGAAATTACCCAGTACAACAAATAGG-3Ј and 5Ј-TC TATCAATTTTACCCAGGCATTTA-3Ј.…”
