Notes

The HIVA polyprotein contains p24, p17, and a polyepitope string of conserved epitopes. A candidate vaccine was constructed with Mycobacterium bovis bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) as the vector. When mice were primed with BCG-HIVA and boosted with MVA-HIVA, the frequencies of HIV-specific CD8+ T cells producing IFN-γ were higher in adult mice vaccinated intradermally compared to newborn mice or adults vaccinated subcutaneously. HIV-specific CTL activity was higher in newborn mice than in adults. This method may provide a model for bivalent vaccination against infant HIV-1 and tuberculosis.
Epitope H (P18-I10) was used to assess the immunogenicity of the HIVA immunizations.
