Glycoprotein L–deleted single-cycle rhesus cytomegalovirus vectors elicit MHC-E–restricted CD8+ T cells that protect against SIV
27 May 2025
Abstract excerpt
Strain 68-1 rhesus CMV (RhCMV) vectors induce immune responses that mediate early, complete replication arrest of SIV infection in ∼60% of vaccinated rhesus macaques (RMs). This unique efficacy depends on the ability of these vectors to elicit effector memory (EM)-biased CD8+ T cells recognizing SIV peptides presented by MHC-E, rather than MHC-Ia. These efficacious responses still occurred when spread of the 68-1...
