Abstract excerpt
A novel HIV-1 vaccine candidate under development targeting the highly conserved protease cleavage regions reduced viral acquisition and delayed disease progression in a macaque SIV-challenge model. Breakthrough virus isolated from vaccinees and control animals were sequenced in the regions surrounding the SIV protease cleavages. We identified unique viral mutations that were associated with alterations in viral...
