HIV Vaccine efficacy trial: glimmers of hope and the potential role of antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity.

چکیده
The partial efficacy of the recent HIV-1 vaccine trial in Thailand has rejuvenated the HIV vaccine field. There are now clear opportunities to dissect the potential correlates of protection against HIV-1. Comparisons of three major HIV-1 vaccine strategies used in human efficacy trials to date highlight a possible role for antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicty (ADCC), rather than cytotoxic T lymphocyte or neutralizing antibody responses, in protective immunity. This review explores the HIV vaccine efficacy trials performed to date and the potential role for ADCC antibodies in assisting protective immunity.

Background: Cell mediated immunity, especially cytotoxic T cell responses against HIV-1 infection, plays a critical role in controlling viral replication and disease progres-sion. DNA vaccine is a novel technology which is known to stimulate strong cellular immune responses. Many DNA vaccines have been tested for HIV infection but there is still no effective vaccine against this infection. Cons...
متن کاملImmunoglobulin G1 Allotype Influences Antibody Subclass Distribution in Response to HIV gp140 Vaccination
Antibody subclasses exhibit extensive polymorphisms (allotypes) that could potentially impact the quality of HIV-vaccine induced B cell responses. Allotypes of immunoglobulin (Ig) G1, the most abundant serum antibody, have been shown to display altered functional properties in regard to serum half-life, Fc-receptor binding and FcRn-mediated mucosal transcytosis. To investigate the potential lin...

A safe and effective vaccine against HIV is a global health priority. Large-scale phase III clinical vaccine trials based on neutralizing antibodies and cytotoxic T-lymphocytes have failed to provide protection, highlighting the lack of understanding of basic immune correlates of protection against HIV. The partial success of the RV144 vaccine trial, however, sparked an intense research effort ...

There is growing interest in the role of anti-HIV antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) antibodies in the prevention and control of HIV infection. Passive transfer studies in macaques support a role for the Fc region of antibodies in assisting in the prevention of simian-human immunodeficiency virus (SHIV) infection. The Thai RV144 HIV-1 vaccine trial induced anti-HIV ADCC antibodies ...

A broadly effective HIV-1 vaccine would greatly contribute towards pathway deepens our understanding of the level of somatic prevention of the 2.1 million new HIV-1 infections estimated to occur annually. Six HIV-1 vaccine efficacy trials in humans have thus far been conducted. Whereas most vaccines showed no efficacy in preventing from HIV-1 infection – and two actually increased infection rat...
