Immunization with peptide mimetics of carbohydrate antigens can induce functional carbohydrate-reactive antibodies. Here, we examine the immune characteristics of alternative approaches in prime and boost strategies using glycosylated HIV-1 envelope protein and model tumor associated carbohydrate antigens. Our results indicate that peptide mimotopes either in a DNA or carrier-conjugated format can induce comparable levels of IgM and IgG. Carbohydrate boosting of peptide-primed animals does not affect end-point titer, however, boosting mediates a stable long lasting carbohydrate reactive IgM response, not achievable by carbohydrate immunization alone. Boosting with carbohydrate in animals primed with DNA- or peptide-conjugate, facilitates the induction of detectable IgG with a dominant IgG2a isotype. Immunization with HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein of peptide-primed animals induces different IgG isotype profiles with a dominant IgG1 antibody. We observed that HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein immunization of peptide primed mice induces a cross-reactive cellular response, as detected by cytokine secretion, which lends to IFN-γ production upon splenocyte stimulation and CTL activity against recombinant vaccinia virus infected cells after in vitro stimulation. DNA immunization with mimotope, inclusion of a T-cell epitope from the HIV-1 envelope protein in the expression cassette and co-administration with IL-12 or GM-CSF encoding plasmids activate a cellular response to the HIV-1 envelope protein.
