Three chimpanzees immunized with recombinant gp120 from human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) strain MN and 1 control animal were challenged intravenously with a primary isolate of HIV-1(SF2). Viral infection was detected in the control animal by viral culture, polymerase chain reaction, and multiple serologic assays beginning 2 weeks after infection, Markers of HIV-1 infection were not detected in any of the gp120-vaccinated animals during 12 months of follow-up, Antisera from the gp120-immunized chimpanzees were unable to neutralize the challenge virus cultured in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC), These studies demonstrate that immunization with recombinant gp120 derived from a T cell-adapted isolate prevented infection by a heterologous primary isolate of HIV-1. The results suggest that in vitro virus neutralization assays utilizing primary isolates cultured in PBMC may be imperfect indicators of protection in vivo.
