The regulatory proteins of human immunodeficiency virus may represent important vaccine targets. Here we assessed the role of Tat-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) in controlling pathogenic simian immunodeficiency virus SIVmac239 replication after using a DNA-prime, vaccinia virus Ankara-boost vaccine regimen. Despite the induction of Tat-specific CTL, there was no significant reduction in either peak or viral set point compared to that of controls.

Abstract

The regulatory proteins of human immunodeficiency virus may represent important vaccine targets. Here we assessed the role of Tat-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) in controlling pathogenic simian immunodeficiency virus SIVmac239 replication after using a DNA-prime, vaccinia virus Ankara-boost vaccine regimen. Despite the induction of Tat-specific CTL, there was no significant reduction in either peak or viral set point compared to that of controls.
