Abstract
We characterized two immune escape viruses (SHIV(KU-1/105w52) and SHIV(KU-1/105w98)) from a macaque immunized with DeltavpuDeltanef SHIV-4 and challenged with pathogenic SHIV(KU-1). This macaque developed neutralizing antibodies as well as virus-specific CTLs against the challenge virus. However, the two new viruses could not be neutralized by anti-SHIV(KU-1)-specific neutralizing antibodies and were poorly recognized by challenge virus-specific CTLs. Sequence analysis of the gene encoding gp120 revealed several mutations in the protein that might have contributed to the development of the immune-escape viruses.Entities:
