Chimpanzee Response

• Vaccine Immune Response Type: VO_0000286
• Efficacy: Animals were challenged with a heterologous chimpanzee titered stock of HIV-1 SF2 virus. Polymerase chain reaction coupled with reverse transcription results indicated infection in the control animal, whereas those animals vaccinated with the DNA constructs were protected from the establishment of infection (Boyer et al., 1997).
