Abstract

Human immunodeficiency virus Primates Retrovirus
Background: Following the success of the RV144 trial, correlates analysis showed a possible correlation between serum IgA titers and lack of vaccine effectiveness. This data is in contrast to the concept that a protective HIV vaccine will need to induce strong IgA induction to prevent mucosal. To address the role of serum and vaginal IgA in HIV acquisition we utilized an adjuvanted DNA vaccine previously shown to drive IgA induction in a nonhuman primate vaginal challenge model.
