Listeria monocytogenes as an alternative vaccine vector for HIV.
The necessity for an HIV vaccine and a brief review of current strategies towards this aim are given here to set into context contemporary studies towards exploiting the bacterium Listeria monocytogenes as an HIV vaccine vector. The cell biology and immunology of this unusual intracellular organism are also reviewed, in addition to its application to introducing viral antigens, including HIV an...
متن کاملDesigning and Construction of a Cloning Vector Encoding mtb32C and mpt51 Fragments of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis as a DNA Vaccine Candidate
Background & objective: Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major cause of death around the world. Bacillus Calmette Guérin (BCG) is the only vaccine used in TB prevention that has a protective effect in children, but its effectiveness declines in adults. Design and development of new vaccines is the most effective way against TB. The aim of this study was to design and construc...
متن کاملNovel Concepts for HIV Vaccine Vector Design
The unprecedented challenges of developing effective vaccines against intracellular pathogens such as HIV, malaria, and tuberculosis have resulted in more rational approaches to vaccine development. Apart from the recent advances in the design and selection of improved epitopes and adjuvants, there are also ongoing efforts to optimize delivery platforms. Viral vectors are the best-characterized...
متن کاملSafety and Immunogenicity Study of Multiclade HIV-1 Adenoviral Vector Vaccine Alone or as Boost following a Multiclade HIV-1 DNA Vaccine in Africa
BACKGROUND We conducted a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled Phase I study of a recombinant replication-defective adenovirus type 5 (rAd5) vector expressing HIV-1 Gag and Pol from subtype B and Env from subtypes A, B and C, given alone or as boost following a DNA plasmid vaccine expressing the same HIV-1 proteins plus Nef, in 114 healthy HIV-uninfected African adults. METHODOLOGY/PR...
متن کاملWhat Has 30 Years of HIV Vaccine Research Taught Us?
When HIV was discovered and established as the cause of AIDS in 1983-1984, many people believed that a vaccine would be rapidly developed. However, 30 years have passed and we are still struggling to develop an elusive vaccine. In trying to achieve that goal, different scientific paradigms have been explored. Although major progress has been made in understanding the scientific basis for HIV va...
