Live Attenuated AIDS Virus Vaccines: Where to go from Here?

  • Conference paper
HIV-Infekt

Abstract

Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infections continue to escalate world-wide. Still, no safe and effective AIDS vaccine has been found, even though a number of vaccine strategies, including live attenuated lentiviruses, have been evaluated in primate models. Live attenuated virus vaccines have played important roles in preventing a number of viral illnesses, such as smallpox, poliomyelitis, measles, and chicken pox [23]. These vaccines induce broad-based, long-lived immune responses. Live attenuated vaccine viruses cause acute infections in the vaccine recipients and induce both specific antiviral anti-bodies and T-cell immunity that limit further virus spread and ultimately clear the vaccine virus infection.
