RESUMO
Recombinant human adenoviruses (Ads) (types 4, 5, and 7) expressing the HIV-1 envelope membrane glycoprotein (gp160) were tested for immunogenicity in the dog. Administration of recombinant Ad7-env by intratracheal inoculation resulted in a low serum antibody response to gp160, which developed over several weeks. A strong neutralizing antibody response to the Ad7 vector developed within 1 week of infection. A subsequent booster inoculation 12 weeks later with the heterotypic Ad4-env recombinant virus resulted in significantly enhanced humoral responses directed at the envelope antigen, as measured by both ELISA and Western blot analysis as well as high-titer type-specific neutralizing antibodies, with some animals achieving neutralization titers approaching 1000. Recombinant HIV envelope glycoprotein derived from Ad-HIV-infected cell cultures was used as a subunit booster injection for dogs that had previously received sequential immunizations with heterotypic recombinant Ads. Significant immune responses against the envelope developed as measured by ELISA, Western blot analysis, and neutralization assays. These data indicate that live recombinant Ad-HIV vaccines are capable of inducing high-titer type-specific neutralizing antibodies to gp160 in vivo. Recombinant HIV envelope glycoprotein subunit vaccines, prepared from Ad-env-infected cells, are capable of boosting these responses.
