Objective.-To evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of the MN strain of recombinant gp120 (MN rgpl20) as a vaccine prototype to prevent human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).Design.-Double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study with subjects vaccinated at 0, 4, 24, and 48 weeks and followed up through 64 weeks.Setting.-The AIDS Vaccine Evaluation Units in St Louis, Mo, Nashville, Tenn, and Rochester, NY, conducted the clinical study. Laboratory studies were conducted at Duke University, Raleigh, NC; data analysis was done by the Data Coordinating and Analysis Center at the EMMES Corporation, Potomac, Md:Participants.-Fifty-seven persons seronegative for HIV, at low risk for acquiring HIV infection, and 18 to 60 years of age.Interventions.-The MN rgpl20 vaccine was administered to 12 volunteers each in doses of 100 mu g, 300 mu g, or 600 mu g, and 12 volunteers received a combination of 300 mu g of MN rgp1 20 vaccine and 300 mu g of vaccine from rgpl20 of strain IIIB. Nine volunteers received alum adjuvant alone (control).Main Outcome Measures.-Safety was assessed by monitoring lymphocyte subsets, serum creatinine, and liver enzymes. Immunogenicity was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay using the immunogen and synthetic peptide corresponding to the variable region 3 domain of gp120. Functional antibody assays included CD4 binding blocking; antibody-dependent, cell-mediated cytotoxicity; and neutralization of homologous and heterologous HIV strains.Results.-No severe adverse reactions occurred. In 33 of 48 volunteers, two doses of vaccine induced antibodies that neutralized the homologous strain HIV1/MN. Three doses of vaccine induced antibodies that neutralized MN (in 46 of 48 volunteers), SF-2 (in 45 of 48 volunteers), or IIIB strains of HIV-1 (in 30 of 48 volunteers).Conclusion.-The vaccines were safe and immunogenic. Multiple injections of vaccine broadened and increased the neutralizing antibody response.
