2003 OCT 8 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- A single DNA priming followed by a single booster with a recombinant replication-defective Sendai virus vector was protective in a macaque AIDS model.
According to a study from Japan, "We previously demonstrated the excellent protective efficacy of DNA priming followed by Gag-expressing Sendai virus (SeV) boosting (DNA prime/SeV-Gag boost vaccine) against a pathogenic simian-human immunodeficiency virus (SHIV89.6PD) infection in macaques."
"Here we show that we established a practical, safer AIDS vaccine protocol, a single DNA priming followed by a single booster with a recently developed replication-defective F deletion SeV-expressing Gag, and show its protective efficacy against SHIV89.6PD infections," wrote Akiko Takeda and collaborators at the University of Tokyo, National Institute of Infectious Diseases, and DNAVEC Research Inc. in Japan.
