A Phase I human vaccine trial of a novel polypeptide vaccine of HIV T helper epitopes (EP-1043) and a DNA vaccine of HIV CTL epitopes was conducted in 84 healthy adult volunteers. The vaccine immunogenicity was assessed by an intracellular cytokine staining assay for IL-2, IL-4, TNF-alpha and IFN-gamma. Sixty eight percent (32/47) of subjects had a positive CD4+ T response after receiving two vaccinations of the polypeptide vaccine. The responding CD4+ T cells made various combinations of IL-2, IL-4, IFN-gamma, and TNF-alpha. The study demonstrated that the EP-1043 vaccine is safe, well-tolerated, and immunogenic.
一项新型 HIV 辅助表位(EP-1043)多肽疫苗和 HIV CTL 表位 DNA 疫苗的 I 期人体疫苗试验在 84 名健康成年志愿者中进行。通过细胞内细胞因子染色测定法评估疫苗的免疫原性,以检测 IL-2、IL-4、TNF-α和 IFN-γ。接受两次多肽疫苗接种后,68%(32/47)的受试者出现 CD4+T 反应阳性。应答的 CD4+T 细胞产生了各种组合的 IL-2、IL-4、IFN-γ和 TNF-α。该研究表明,EP-1043 疫苗安全、耐受良好且具有免疫原性。
