Despite the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) pandemic continuing worldwide for 40 years, no vaccine to combat the disease has been licenced for use in at risk populations. Here, we describe a novel recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus (rVSV) vector vaccine expressing modified HIV envelope glycoproteins and Ebola virus glycoprotein. Three heterologous immunizations successfully prevented infection by a different clade SHIV in 60% of non-human primates (NHPs). No trend was observed between resistance and antibody interactions. Resistance to infection was associated with high proportions of central memory T-cell CD69 and CD154 marker upregulation, increased IL-2 production, and a reduced IFN-γ response, offering insight into correlates of protection.
尽管人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)大流行已经在全球持续了 40 年,但尚未有针对该疾病的疫苗获得许可并用于高危人群。在这里,我们描述了一种新型的重组水疱性口炎病毒(rVSV)载体疫苗,该疫苗表达了修饰后的 HIV 包膜糖蛋白和埃博拉病毒糖蛋白。三次异源免疫接种成功地使 60%的非人类灵长类动物(NHPs)免受不同谱系 SHIV 的感染。在耐药性和抗体相互作用之间没有观察到趋势。对感染的抵抗力与中央记忆 T 细胞 CD69 和 CD154 标志物上调的高比例、IL-2 产生的增加以及 IFN-γ 反应的减少有关,这为保护相关因素提供了深入了解。
