Genetic Instability of Live, Attenuated Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 Vaccine Strains
1 Feb 1999
Abstract excerpt
Live, attenuated viruses have been the most successful vaccines in monkey models of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection. However, there are several safety concerns about using such an anti-HIV vaccine in humans, including reversion of the vaccine strain to virulence and recombination with endogenous retroviral sequences to produce new infectious and potentially pathogenic viruses.
