While some recently transmitted HIV clade C (HIV-C) strains exhibited tier 1 neutralization phenotypes, most were tier 2 strains (J Virol 2010; 84:1439). Because induction of neutralizing antibodies (nAbs) through vaccination against tier 2 viruses has proven difficult, we have generated a tier 1, clade C simian-human immunodeficiency virus (SHIV-C) to permit efficacy testing of candidate AIDS vaccines against tier 1 viruses.
SHIV-1157ipEL was created by swapping env of a late-stage virus with that of a tier 1, early form.
After adaptation to rhesus macaques (RM), passaged SHIV-1157ipEL-p replicated vigorously in vitro and in vivo while maintaining R5 tropism. The virus was reproducibly transmissible intrarectally. Phylogenetically, SHIV-1157ipEL-p Env clustered with HIV-C sequences. All RM chronically infected with SHIV-1157ipEL-p developed high nAb titers against autologous as well as heterologous tier 1 strains.
SHIV-1157ipEL-p was reproducibly transmitted in RM, induced cross-clade nAbs, and represents a tool to evaluate anti-HIV-C nAb responses in primates.
虽然一些近期传播的HIV C亚型(HIV-C)毒株表现出1级中和表型,但大多数是2级毒株(《病毒学杂志》2010年;84:1439)。由于通过接种疫苗诱导针对2级病毒的中和抗体(nAbs)已被证明很困难,我们构建了一种1级C亚型猿猴 - 人免疫缺陷病毒(SHIV-C),以允许对候选艾滋病疫苗针对1级病毒进行功效测试。
通过将晚期病毒的env与1级早期形式的env进行交换,构建了SHIV-1157ipEL。
在适应恒河猴(RM)后,传代的SHIV-1157ipEL-p在体外和体内均能旺盛复制,同时保持R5嗜性。该病毒可经直肠反复传播。在系统发育上,SHIV-1157ipEL-p Env与HIV-C序列聚类。所有长期感染SHIV-1157ipEL-p的恒河猴均产生了针对自体以及异源1级毒株的高nAb滴度。
SHIV-1157ipEL-p在恒河猴中可反复传播,诱导跨亚型nAbs,代表了一种在灵长类动物中评估抗HIV-C nAb反应的工具。
