Cytotoxic T Lymphocyte–based Control of Simian Immunodeficiency Virus Replication in a Preclinical AIDS Vaccine Trial

Abstract excerpt

Recently, encouraging AIDS vaccine trials in macaques have implicated cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) in the control of the simian human immunodeficiency virus SHIV89.6P that induces acute CD4(+) T cell depletion. However, none of these vaccine regimens have been successful in the containment of replication of the pathogenic simian immunodeficiency viruses (SIVs) that induce chronic disease progression. Indeed, it...
