Presentation Transcript

  1. Amir Maksyutov amaksyutov@yandex.ru Candidate vaccine capable of eliciting broadly reacting antibody response to structurally conserved areas on the HIV-1 V3 region • V3 region: remarkable variability  “structurally conserved” motifs vaccine • Chimeric Peptide Library (CPL) mimic the antigenic variety of V3 region • Immunization with CPL Abs to “structurally conserved” V3 motifs

  2. Amir Maksyutov amaksyutov@yandex.ru RESULTS • CPL was recognized by HIV-1+ • CPL: immunization strong Ab response • Representative peptide panel (RPP): 30 very rare and 5 major variants • strong reactivity with all RPP peptides • broad specificity  covering as very rare as major V3 antigenic variants •  Ab response to the “structurally conserved” V3 motifs

  3. Amir Maksyutov amaksyutov@yandex.ru CONCLUSIONS& PROSPECT • Clinical trial for a mixture of five V3 peptides • Murine HIV-1 challenge system  anti-CPL sera – the most protective we have observed • Broad specificity • Abs to the “structurally conserved” V3 motifs • Design novel vaccine candidates  potentially protective broad Ab response • Therapeutic HIV/AIDS vaccine development
