Dose-response relationship of DNA and recombinant fowlpox virus prime-boost HIV vaccines: implications for future trials.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Estimating effective doses of novel HIV vaccines is challenging. Dose-response analyses of DNA and fowlpox virus HIV vaccines showed that 1 mg of DNA vaccine and 5 x 10(7)pfu of fowlpox virus booster was immunogenic in macaques. However, this dose was poorly immunogenic in humans. When adjusted for body surface area, the human dose studied was equivalent to a poorly immunogenic lower dose in monkeys. These data provide a rationale for guiding dosing in future trials of HIV vaccine technologies.

Fowlpox virus vaccines for HIV and SHIV clinical and pre-clinical trials.
DNA prime and recombinant fowlpox virus (rFPV) boost vaccines were designed to express multiple HIV or SIV antigens for use in human clinical trials and in pre-clinical trials in macaques. Three sets of vaccines with matching HIV or SIV antigen sets, modified for vaccine safety considerations, were constructed and shown to express the relevant proteins. The rFPV vaccines with inserts at up to t...
متن کاملA randomized, placebo-controlled phase I trial of DNA prime, recombinant fowlpox virus boost prophylactic vaccine for HIV-1.
An HIV-vaccine consisting of a DNA prime, recombinant fowlpox virus (rFPV) boost was evaluated in a double-blind placebo controlled trial. One milligram of pHIS-HIV-B expressing mutated gag, pol, env, vpu, tat and rev was administered at weeks 0 and 4 boosted by 5 x 10(7) pfu rFPV-HIV-B expressing gag/pol at week 8. The vaccine regimen was safe, but there was no difference between vaccine (n = ...
متن کاملConstruction of recombinant fowlpox viruses carrying multiple vaccine antigens and immunomodulatory molecules.
Here we describe plasmid vectors and selection protocols developed to allow the construction of recombinant fowlpox viruses (rFPVs) with up to three insertions of foreign DNA in the viral genome. Transient dominant selection allows the construction of recombinant viruses that do not retain the selection markers and can therefore be used for the insertion of additional genes at other sites in th...
متن کاملEvaluation of prime/boost regimens using recombinant poxvirus/tyrosinase vaccines for the treatment of patients with metastatic melanoma.
PURPOSE Two clinical trials were conducted to evaluate the clinical efficacy and immunologic impact of vaccination against the tyrosinase protein plus systemic interleukin 2 (IL-2) administration in patients with advanced metastatic melanoma. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN Full-length tyrosinase was employed as an immunogen to induce diverse immunologic responses against a commonly expressed melanoma an...
متن کاملPhenotypic and kinetic analysis of effective simian-human immunodeficiency virus-specific T cell responses in DNA--and fowlpox virus-vaccinated macaques.
Although T cell immunity is important in the control of HIV-1 infection, the characteristics of effective HIV-specific T cell responses are unclear. We previously observed protection from virulent SHIV challenges in macaques administered priming with DNA vaccines and boosting with recombinant fowlpox viruses expressing shared SIV Gag antigens. We therefore performed a detailed kinetic and pheno...
