Abstract
The ability to induce a protective immunity against Jembrana disease, an acute lentivirus disease of Bali cattle (Bos javanicus) present in Indonesia, was investigated. A protective immune response was induced in cattle by vaccination with virus-containing plasma and spleen tissue derived from acutely affected cattle. The virus was inactivated with Triton X-100 and emulsified in either incomplete Freund's adjuvant or a mineral oil adjuvant (MOA). The vaccination procedure suppressed the duration and severity of the disease but did not completely prevent the development of disease in animals challenged with 100 infectious doses of virus.

Abstract
The immunogenicity and efficacy of an inactivated whole SIVmac (32H) preparation adjuvanted with muramyl dipeptide (SIV-MDP) and a gp120-enriched SIVmac (32H) ISCOM preparation (SIV-ISCOM), were compared by immunizing four rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta) four times with SIV-MDP and four others in the same way with SIV-ISCOM. Two monkeys immunized with whole inactivated measles virus (MV) adjuvanted with MDP (MV-MDP) and two monkeys immunized with MV-ISCOM served as controls. In the SIV-ISCOM-immunized monkeys higher SIV-specific serum antibody titres were found than in the SIV-MDP-immunized monkeys. In contrast to the MV-immunized monkeys all SIV-MDP- and SIV-ISCOM-immunized monkeys were protected against intravenous challenge 2 weeks after the last immunization with 10 median monkey infectious doses (MID50) of a cell-free SIVmac (32H) challenge stock propagated in the human T-cell line C8166. After 43 weeks the protected monkeys were reboosted and 2 weeks later rechallenged with 10 MID50 of the same virus produced in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from a rhesus macaque. None of these animals proved to be protected against this challenge. In a parallel experiment in which the same numbers of monkeys were immunized in the same way, the animals were challenged intravenously with 10 MID50 of PBMC from an SIVmac (32H)-infected rhesus macaque. Two out of four SIV-MDP- and two out of four SIV-ISCOM-immunized monkeys proved to be protected from SIV infection.

Abstract
In an attempt to compare the protective effect of vaccination with two forms of envelope antigens, and to define immunological correlates of protection against HIV infection, chimpanzees were vaccinated with either recombinant gp160 or gp120. Homologous HIV challenge was performed 3 weeks after the fourth immunization. The animal with the highest level of serum neutralizing antibodies (gp160 immunogen) was protected against HIV infection. All other chimpanzees became infected, but displayed various levels of infected PBMCs. The postchallenge data gave rise to the following conclusions: (1) protection correlated with the level of the serological immune response, but not with the nature of immunogen (gp120 versus gp160); (2) the virus-neutralizing titre at day of challenge correlated with protection from infection; (3) the relative magnitude of the lymphoproliferative T-cell response at day of challenge did not correlate with any protective effect; (4) the peak numbers of virus-infected PBMCs in vaccinated animals were lower than those observed in control animals, and this effect was correlated with the intensity of the antibody response at day of challenge. This raises the possibility that a beneficial effect of HIV vaccination may be achieved in a situation where sterile immunity is not consistently obtained.

Abstract
The SIV family is a diverse group of viruses that vary considerably in pathogenesis and virulence in their natural host species or macaques. Although the disease induced by the SIVsm subtype in particular is remarkably similar to human AIDS, it must be remembered that this is an experimental animal model. Therefore, although the pathogenesis of SIVsm (and other viruses) in macaques offers an relevant animal model for pathogenesis and vaccine trials, the interactions of these viruses in their natural host, and virus-, or host-specific effects have been poorly characterized. This animal model offers a unique opportunity to study the details of the pathogenesis of immunodeficiency and to define host and viral factors responsible for disease progression.

Abstract
A battery of assay systems was used to profile both humoral and cell-mediated immune responses induced by immunization with candidate vaccines consisting of recombinant simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) glycoproteins rgp110 (nondenatured) with SAF-M adjuvant (gp110 + SAF-M) or rgp140 (denatured) with Freund's adjuvant (gp140 + FA). All of the monkeys became infected after intravenous challenge. However, 16 days following infection, viral antigenemia was reduced in both groups of vaccinates compared to controls. After 23 days antigenemia in the gp110 + SAF-M group remained at the same level as on day 16, whereas antigenemia in the gp140 + FA group was significantly reduced further than the level observed on day 16. Both vaccines induced blastogenic responses in PBMC cultures stimulated with rgp140, which decreased after repeated immunizations. Both vaccines induced high ELISA titers of IgG antibody against rgp140 that were equivalent to the titers in asymptomatic long-term survivors (LTSs). gp110 +/- SAF-M induced high titers of neutralizing antibody. In contrast, gp140 + FA failed to induce neutralizing antibody, suggesting that the natural conformation of the antigen may be essential for the induction of neutralizing antibody. High titers of antibodies capable of complement-mediated cytolysis (ACC) were induced by gp110 + SAF-M, whereas minimal ACC antibodies were induced by gp140 + FA. In spite of high titers of antibodies by ELISA, neither gp110 + SAF-M nor gp140 + FA vaccines induced detectable levels of antibody capable of antibody dependent cell-mediated cytolysis (ADCC). Detectable amounts of MHC class I-restricted, CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) were not induced in immunized monkeys before challenge. After challenge and infection, antibody responses to glycoprotein (detected by ELISA and ACC) as well as glycoprotein-specific CTLs were induced in gp140 + FA vaccinates at levels higher than in nonimmunized control animals, indicating a priming effect by gp140 + FA immunization. No priming effect for ADCC antibody induction was observed in monkeys vaccinated with either gp110 + SAF-M or gp140 + FA. Rhesus monkey groups immunized with two different SIV envelope vaccines differed regarding potentially protective humoral and cell-mediated immune responses. The physical state of the immunogens, the type of adjuvant used, and/or the immunization protocol apparently affected these responses in both a qualitative and quantitative manner.

Abstract
Current approaches to the prevention and control of AIDS by vaccines and by chemotherapy have failed to provide satisfactory solutions to this important medical problem and have failed, in addition, to provide definitive guidelines for future research endeavor. Vaccine research must and will continue but it is possible that a safe and effective vaccine may never be developed and it may be timely to explore, in addition, alternative means for immunological intervention in AIDS. Both immunoprophylactic and immunotherapeutic efforts might be assisted by manipulating the T helper 1 (Th1) and T helper 2 (Th2) subsets of CD4+ T helper cells, which is therefore worthy of exploration. Selective control of immune response by the two T helper subsets is by release of different cytokines that promote either cellular or humoral immunity, the latter of which may be associated with inappropriate immune responses and with immune dysfunction. Discovery of the Th1 and Th2 subsets and definition of the cytokines they release provide a new avenue toward possible development of a safe and effective vaccine and an approach, in addition, to correction of immune dysfunction by selective cytokine administration or by cytokine ablation by antagonists or antibodies. AIDS pathogenesis and immune dysfunction are complex and understanding them may be overwhelmed by an excess of possibilities. Simplification of the endeavor might benefit from comparative studies of the pathogenesis of measles, in which there also is immune deficiency but usually with spontaneous viral clearance, reversal of immune dysfunction, and total recovery. In addition, measles presents as a single disease and is caused by antigenically stable virus. Identification of the process whereby measles immunodeficiency is spontaneously reversed might be of importance in attempting to devise means for similar reversal in AIDS.

Abstract
We have tested the ability of a monoclonal antibody-based simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) p27 capsid antigen assay to detect SIV antigen in supernatants from a variety of infected cell cultures. The antigen capture assay has a sensitivity of approximately 30 pg of SIV p27 capsid antigen/ml. The assay detected SIV p27 capsid antigen in cell culture supernatants from all six strains tested, detected the replication of SIV following the inoculation of the virus in peripheral blood mononuclear cell cultures earlier compared to reverse transcriptase assay, and was more sensitive in detection of the SIV antigen compared to human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) antigen capture assays. The SIV antigen capture assay was used to detect SIV antigen from serum samples and tissue cultures from eight of eight SIVB670-infected rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta). Similar samples from four control rhesus macaques were negative when tested by the assay. The SIV antigen was detected in virus-infected monkeys during early time periods following inoculation (1 to 3 weeks) or during episodes of CD4+ lymphocytopenia and clinically evident disease. In addition, the SIV antigen capture assay positively identified each of three different HIV-2 strains in cell culture supernatants. The SIV antigen capture assay provides a sensitive and specific method to monitor SIV and HIV-2 capsid antigen in cell cultures and from infected animals. The assay will be an important tool in the utilization of SIV and HIV-2 primate models for HIV-induced acquired immunodeficiency disease syndrome.

Abstract
Transmission studies have suggested that an optimal human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) vaccine should induce both neutralizing antibodies and cytolytic T cells to eliminate free virus and infected cells. A phase I trial in healthy HIV-1-seronegative persons was conducted with a combination HIV-1 vaccine regimen (strain IIIB) consisting of priming with a recombinant vaccinia (vac/env) virus expressing HIV-1 envelope and boosting with a gp160 glycoprotein derived from a recombinant baculovirus (rgp160). T-cell and antibody responses detected after immunization with either vac/env alone or rgp160 alone were generally of low magnitude and transient, and no subject developed neutralizing antibodies. In contrast, recipients of the combination regimen demonstrated in vitro T-cell proliferative responses to homologous HIV-1 antigens that were 3- to 10-fold higher than responses with either vaccine alone, and these responses were sustained for > 18 months in 75% of recipients. Moreover, both CD8+ and CD4+ cytolytic T cells were detected. Antibody responses (titer, 1:800 to 1:102,400) to homologous HIV envelope developed in all recipients of the combination regimen, and neutralizing antibodies were detected in 7 of 13. Thus, immunization with a live virus vaccine followed by boosting with a soluble protein offers promise for inducing the broad immunity needed in an HIV vaccine.

Abstract
Infants are reported to be devoid of memory T cells at birth but acquired them with time. A cross-sectional study of peripheral blood mononuclear cells from HIV-infected and uninfected infants and children that bear the CD4R0 antigen was undertaken to describe the development of memory T cells. Linear regression lines derived from the data revealed increasing percentages of memory CD4 and CD8 cells in the uninfected children. Memory CD4 cells in the infected children were detected at a frequency equal to or greater than that seen in uninfected children until 6 months of age but subsequently declined with age. In contrast, memory CD8 cells were found to be significantly increased in HIV-infected children early in life with a rate of increase similar to that seen in the uninfected population. This increase in memory CD8 cells may facilitate the early diagnosis of HIV infection.

Abstract
A SIV-ISCOM and a SIV-MDP adjuvanted vaccine were tested for their potential to induce protection from intravenous cell-free or cell-associated homologous SIV challenge in rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta). Seven monkeys vaccinated four times over a four-month period with either the SIV-ISCOM or the SIV-MDP vaccine were challenged intravenously with approximately 10 MID50 cell-free SIVmac251 (32H). They all were protected from developing viremia during a three-month observation period. Two other groups of four monkeys were vaccinated essentially in the same way with either of these vaccines. They were challenged intravenously with approximately 10 MID50 of infected PBMC of a rhesus monkey that had been infected with SIVmac251 (32H) 11 months earlier (stock prepared by J. Heeney). Two monkeys of each of these two groups proved to be protected from developing viremia during a two-month observation period. For both the cell-free and the cell-associated SIV challenge, monkeys vaccinated with measles virus ISCOMS or MDP adjuvanted measles virus antigen, served as controls. They all became viremic within two weeks after SIV challenge. This is the first demonstration that vaccinated previously unchallenged nonhuman primates can be protected from infection with lentivirus-infected PBMC from another animal. Serological analysis indicated that SIV-specific serum antibody titers were considerably higher in SIV-ISCOM vaccinated animals than in the SIV-MDP vaccinated animals. The serology also confirmed the protection data, by showing the absence of increase in SIV-specific serum antibodies in apparently protected animals after challenge.

Abstract
Noninfectious human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) viruslike particles containing chimeric envelope glycoproteins were expressed in mammalian cells by using inducible promoters. We engineered four expression vectors in which a synthetic oligomer encoding gp120 residues 306 to 328 (amino acids YNKRKRIHIGP GRAFYTTKNIIG) from the V3 loop of the MN viral isolate was inserted at various positions within the endogenous HIV-1LAI env gene. Expression studies revealed that insertion of the heterologous V3(MN) loop segment at two different locations within the conserved region 2 (C2) of gp120, either 173 or 242 residues away from the N terminus of the mature subunit, resulted in the secretion of fully assembled HIV-like particles containing chimeric LAI/MN envelope glycoproteins. Both V3 loop epitopes were recognized by loop-specific neutralizing antibodies. However, insertion of the V3(MN) loop segment into other regions of gp120 led to the production of envelope-deficient viruslike particles. Immunization with HIV-like particles containing chimeric envelope proteins induced specific antibody responses against both the autologous and heterologous V3 loop epitopes, including cross-neutralizing antibodies against the HIV-1LAI and HIV-1MN isolates. This study, therefore, demonstrates the feasibility of genetically engineering optimized HIV-like particles capable of eliciting cross-neutralizing antibodies.

Abstract
To identify the principal neutralization determinant (PND) of simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV), antisera were generated using recombinant gp110 [the SIV analog of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) external envelope glycoprotein, gp120], gp140, several large recombinant and proteolytic envelope fragments, and synthetic peptides of the SIVmac251 isolate. When purified under conditions that retain its native structure, gp110 bound CD4 and elicited antisera that neutralized SIVmac251 with high titer. Native gp110 also completely inhibited neutralizing antibody in sera from SIVmac251-infected macaques. In contrast, denatured gp110 and gp140, large envelope fragments, and synthetic peptides (including peptides analogous to the HIV-1 PND) elicited very low or undetectable neutralizing antibody titers and did not inhibit neutralizing antibody in infected macaque sera. Enzymatically deglycosylated gp110 efficiently absorbed neutralizing antibodies from macaque sera, showing that neutralizing antibodies primarily bind the protein backbone. A 45-kDa protease digest product, mapping to the carboxyl-terminal third of gp110, also completely absorbed neutralizing antibodies from infected macaque sera. These results show that the PND(s) of this SIV isolate depends on the native conformation and that linear peptides corresponding to the V3 loop of SIV envelope, in contrast to that of HIV-1, do not elicit neutralizing antibody. This may affect the usefulness of SIVmac for evaluating HIV-1 envelope vaccine approaches that rely on eliciting neutralizing antibody.

Abstract
Macaque monkeys infected with the simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) can be used for preclinical testing of drugs and vaccines against acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) as well as for the study of AIDS pathogenesis. A number of pathogenic SIV strains that have been well characterized molecularly and biologically are available for animal infection studies. Data generated from in vitro drug sensitivity assays have established, for many classes of compounds, a similar degree of antiviral efficacy against both HIV-1 and the SIVs, although some examples of selective inhibitors of HIV-1 now are known. A number of virus and host parameters have been defined that provide suitable biological endpoints for in vivo efficacy studies during acute and chronic infection of macaque monkeys. Vaccine studies in SIV-infected monkeys have provided hope that immune protection against lentiviruses is possible; SIV systems are playing a major role in systematically comparing various vaccine strategies to determine correlates of immunity and the protection required for mucosal versus parenteral routes of infection. Societal pressures and the expanding AIDS epidemic will continue to encourage early testing of experimental drugs and vaccines in human clinical trials, however, as more data validating the SIV system are generated, the utility of the SIV model in preclinical development likely will become apparent. Impetus to evaluate therapies in this model system will increase if the current method of testing in humans does not identify more effective AIDS therapies in the near future.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine whether cell-mediated and humoral immune responses to recall antigens develop in children infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and, if so, whether these responses are retained. METHODS Children infected with HIV and uninfected children born to mothers infected with HIV were compared with respect to lymphoproliferative responses to recall antigens and protective levels of antibody to bacterial toxoids during the first 4 years of life. RESULTS Children infected with HIV who were enrolled in a prospective study of the natural history of the infection were relatively normal (1) in their lymphoproliferative responses to diphtheria toxoid, tetanus toxoid, and Candida, and (2) in their ability to make protective diphtheria and tetanus antitoxins during the first 2 years of life. During the next 2 years, attrition was noted in both lymphoproliferative and humoral responses. Attrition in response was not necessarily correlated with declining numbers of helper T cells. CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that both cellular and humoral immune responses develop early in life in most children infected with HIV, while they remain relatively well both clinically and immunologically. Previously reported severe immune deficits in these children were probably attributable to advanced clinical disease when they were first studied.

Abstract
Recombinant fowlpox viruses (FPV) containing the env or gag-pol genes of simian immunodeficiency virus from macaques (SIVmac) were constructed. The env, gag, and pol-encoded polypeptides were efficiently expressed and processed in avian cells productively infected with FPV as well as in mammalian cells, in which FPV infection is abortive. In addition, the recombinant FPV expressing the gag-pol genes directed the formation of defective, lentivirus-like particles which were released into the culture medium of infected cells. Coinfection of cells with the env and gag-pol recombinant viruses resulted in the generation of particles containing SIVmac envelope glycoprotein. The applications of this system to vaccine development are discussed.

Abstract
Retroviral envelope glycoproteins interact with cell receptors and are targets for antiviral immune responses in infected hosts. Macaque simian immunodeficiency virus (SIVmac) is a T-lymphocytopathic lentivirus which causes an AIDS-like disease in rhesus macaques. The envelope gene of SIVmac encodes a precursor glycoprotein (gp160) which is cleaved into an external domain (gp130) and a transmembrane domain (gp32). To investigate the functional and immunological properties of the SIV external envelope glycoprotein, we have used genetically engineered mammalian cells to produce recombinant gp130 (rgp130). The rgp130 has the appropriate molecular weight, is glycosylated, and has native conformation as determined by binding to the cell receptor for SIV, the CD4 antigen. Rhesus macaques immunized with purified rgp130 formulated in muramyl dipeptide adjuvant generated high titers of antienvelope antibodies. Antibodies from these macaques were tested for in vitro virus neutralization; very low or undetectable levels of neutralization were observed. In contrast, neutralizing antibodies were readily detected in sera from goats immunized with rgp130. With respect to cell-mediated immunity, proliferative responses to rgp130 were demonstrated in peripheral blood monocyte cells (PBMC) from macaques immunized with the recombinant glycoprotein as well as in PBMC from SIV-infected animals. These results show that rgp130 is functional and immunogenic; the potential of rgp130 for protective immunization remains to be determined.

Abstract
A proviral fragment from human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) (LAV-1BRU) containing only protein-coding information, was expressed in COS cells using constitutive promoters in transient and stable transfection experiments. The presence of viruslike particles in cell supernatants was verified by Western blot analysis, density gradient centrifugation, and electron microscopy. Transfection of Vero cells with a similar construct employing the human metallothionein promoter led to the isolation of stable cell lines exhibiting inducible viruslike particle expression in response to cadmium chloride treatment. Induction ratios for viruslike particle expression were in excess of 1000-fold with production levels of p24 core antigen as high as 0.6 mg/L per 24 h. HIV-1 viruslike particles were immunogenic in mice, leading to strong envelope and core-specific humoral responses after two immunizations. The development of stable cell lines expressing significant quantities of HIV-1 viruslike particles offers an alternative to the use of live virus vectors for the production and evaluation of particle-based AIDS vaccines.

Abstract
Rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta) immunized with an inactivated whole SIVmac vaccine and muramyl dipeptide (MDP), incomplete Freund's adjuvant (IFA), or aqueous suspension were challenged intravenously with 0.1 TCID50 of cell-free SIVmac. Whereas virus was readily recovered from the peripheral blood lymphocytes of 10 of 10 nonvaccinated controls following this challenge dose, virus was not recovered from the three animals that received the vaccine with MDP nor from one of two animals that received the vaccine with IFA and one of three animals that received the aqueous vaccine. The animals that were protected against challenge were those that had detectable SIV antibody response to the envelop, both the outer glycoprotein (gp120) and the truncated transmembrane glycoprotein (gp31). Protected monkeys tended to have higher titers of syncytial inhibition antibody prior to challenge. An anamnestic response after challenge was observed only in the vaccinated monkeys that became infected. Vaccinated animals that became challenge-infected tended to live longer than infected controls. These results confirm those at two other primate centers and indicate that killed whole SIV vaccines can protect against low challenge doses of SIV and prevent early death in those monkeys that do become infected. The mechanism of this protection remains undetermined. This finding adds optimism to the possibility of an eventual AIDS vaccine.
