Research Abstract |
In order to clarify the mechanisms of mucosal infection and mucosal immunity of HIV-1, we have tried to establish the monkey experimental model system of mucosal infection using SIV and SHIV and to see the virus spread and immune response for protection. Results obtained are followed. 1. Immunities and protective effect of nonpathogenic SHIV against mucosal infection (2001). Involvement of 7 5 T and NK as well as acquired immunities was shown in the protection against intrarectal attack infection of pathogenic SHIV in the monkeys immunized with nef-deleted nonpathogenic SHIV. 2. Virus population through SIV intravaginal infection (2002). Virus population was restricted when it passed through mucosa and it had no relation to viral cell tropisms. 3. Virus spread and immune responses at the early phase of intrarectal infection of acute pathogenic SHIV (2003). Immediately after intrarectal infection, the virus spread in a whole body, not replicating at the mucosal sites. The CD4 cell decrease was prominent especially in thymus in which impairment of T cell maturation was ex vivo demonstrated. 4. Virus spread and immune responses at the early phase of intrarectal infection of low pathogenic SHIV (2004). Virus replicated and induced CD4 cell depletion at the rectal sites, and gradually spread to a whole body in which CD4 depletion was slight. 5. Vaccination with SHIV DNA which produces noninfectious virions protected mucosal infection (2005). SHIV mutant DNA lacking packaging ability induced protective effect against intrarectal attack infection of acute pathogenic SHIV. Close association of virus spread and immure response with prognosis had been suggested in HIV1 infection. This study experimentally proved it by using monkeys. The obtains results are important and useful for develonment of effeetive vaepine develonment
