For a viral vector vaccine, non-HIV [human immunodeficiency virus] viruses are used to carry genes that tell the body to make some HIV proteins. These viral vectors don’t cause disease in people.

The science of AIDS and its impact on the developing world. In 1995, AIDS research stands at a crossroads. Over the past 10 years, much of the research on AIDS has centred on trying to find a cure or a vaccine, with very limited results. While more has been learnt about AIDS in a short time than about almost any other disease, many of the basic questions about the development of AIDS and the behaviour of HIV, the virus which leads to AIDS, remain unanswered. 1, record 4, English, - science%20of%20aids

There are two types of HIV :HIV-1 and HIV-2. HIV-1 is responsible for the vast majority of AIDS in the United States. HIV-2, seen more often in western Africa, has a slower course than HIV-1. There are many strains of both types and the virus mutates rapidly, a trait that has made it especially difficult for researchers to find an effective treatment or vaccine. 1, record 8, English, - VIH%2D2

Therapeutic vaccination while the virus is well suppressed with antiretrovirals. In one study, first reported last summer at Geneva and with new data last week at the Retroviruses conference, volunteers whose viral load had been effectively suppressed with antiretrovirals were also given a killed-virus immunogen(the Remune(TM) therapeutic vaccine, which was developed by the late Dr. Jonas Salk) ;a control group was given the inactive component of the same vaccine but without the HIV. T-helper responses like those of long-term nonprogressors returned in most of those given the real vaccine--and in none of the control group. 1, record 10, English, - therapeutic%20vaccination

As well, we are continuing to explore a new approach to subunit vaccine design introduced by our laboratory a number of years ago(see Carayanniotis and Barber(1987) Nature 327, 59). By conjugation of purified protein or synthetic peptide antigens to monoclonal antibodies specific for defined cell surface determinants in vivo(e. g. class II MHC), it is possible to induce an effective antibody response to the "targeted" antigen(for recent data see Skea and Barber(1993) J. Immunol. 151, 3557). We are currently using recombinant DNA approaches to "engineer" specific B-and T-cell epitopes into selected sites on immunotargeting antibodies. In addition to our work using influenza virus as a model, we are also studying conserved B-and T-cell epitopes from HIV in order to develop a candidate AIDS vaccine. 2, record 12, English, - immunotargeting
