Liposomal lipid A is an effective adjuvant for the delivery of antigens and for the induction of both cellular and humoral immunity. In this study, we demonstrate that following the third immunization with HIV-1 Gag p24 encapsulated in liposomes containing lipid A [L(p24+ LA)], central memory CD8+ T-cells were localized in the spleen and lymph nodes of mice while effector memory CD8+ T-cells and effector CD4+ T-cells were found in the PBMC. Effector CD4+ T-cells were also detected in the spleen and lymph nodes. The predominant cytokine secreted from splenic lymphocytes and lymph nodes was IFN-gamma. In contrast, IL-6 and IL-10 were the major cytokines produced from PBMC. The peptide stimulation indicated that the cytokine responses observed were T-cell specific. The results demonstrate the importance of the adjuvant liposomal lipid A for the induction of HIV-1 Gag p24-specific CD8+ T-cells, effector CD4+ T-cells, and cytokines with a Th-1 type profile after immunization with L(p24 + LA).
