Abstract: | Novel adjuvant formulations involving PLG microparticles with entrapped recombinant protein antigens (env gp120 and p24 gag) from human immunodeficiency virus type-1 (HIV-1), dispersed in the emulsion adjuvant MF59 were evaluated as potential HIV-1 vaccine candidates in mice and baboons. In mice, the adjuvant combination induced significantly enhanced antibody responses in comparison to either adjuvant used alone. In addition, the polylactide co-glycolide polymer (PLG) microparticles and MF59 combination induced CTL activity against HIV-1 p24 gag. In baboons, the adjuvant combination induced significantly enhanced antibody titers after a single dose of gp120, but the responses were comparable to gp120 in MF59 alone after boosting. Both MF59+gp120 alone and PLG/gp120 in MF59 induced neutralizing antibodies against a T cell line-adapted (TCLA) strain and a primary isolate of HIV-1. In contrast to the observations with gp120, immunization in baboons with PLG/p24 in MF59 induced significantly enhanced antibody responses after boosting, in comparison to immunization with MF59 alone + p24. |
