Heterologous protection elicited by candidate monomeric recombinant HIV-1 gp120 vaccine in the absence of cross neutralising antibodies in a macaque model

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Current data suggest that an efficacious human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) vaccine should elicit both adaptive humoral and cell mediated immune responses. Such a vaccine will also need to protect against infection from a ra...

description <p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Current data suggest that an efficacious human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) vaccine should elicit both adaptive humoral and cell mediated immune responses. Such a vaccine will also need to protect against infection from a range of heterologous viral variants. Here we have developed a simian-human immunodeficiency virus (SHIV) based model in cynomolgus macaques to investigate the breadth of protection conferred by HIV-1<sub>W61D</sub> recombinant gp120 vaccination against SHIV<sub>sbg</sub> and SHIV<sub>SF33</sub> challenge, and to identify correlates of protection.</p> <p>Results</p> <p>High titres of anti-envelope antibodies were detected in all vaccinees. The antibodies reacted with both the homologous HIV-1<sub>W61D</sub> and heterologous HIV-1<sub>IIIB</sub> envelope rgp120 which has an identical sequence to the SHIV<sub>sbg</sub> challenge virus. Significant titres of virus neutralising antibodies were detected against SHIV<sub>W61D</sub> expressing an envelope homologous with the vaccine, but only limited cross neutralisation against SHIV<sub>sbg</sub>, SHIV-4 and SHIV<sub>SF33</sub> was observed. Protection against SHIV<sub>sbg</sub> infection was observed in vaccinated animals but none was observed against SHIV<sub>SF33</sub> challenge. Transfer of immune sera from vaccinated macaques to naive recipients did not confer protection against SHIV<sub>sbg</sub> challenge. In a follow-up study, T cell proliferative responses detected after immunisation with the same vaccine against a single peptide present in the second conserved region 2 of HIV-1 <sub>W61D</sub> and HIV-1 IIIB gp120, but not SF33 gp120.</p> <p>Conclusions</p> <p>Following extended vaccination with a HIV-1 rgp120 vaccine, protection was observed against heterologous virus challenge with SHIV<sub>sbg</sub>, but not SHIV<sub>SF33</sub>. Protection did not correlate with serological responses generated by vaccination, but might be associated with T cell proliferative responses against an epitope in the second constant region of HIV-1 gp120. Broader protection may be obtained with recombinant HIV-1 envelope based vaccines formulated with adjuvants that generate proliferative T cell responses in addition to broadly neutralising antibodies.</p>
