Nonhuman primate (NHP) models present the opportunity to test a variety of candidate AIDS vaccines, optimizing their ability to elicit immune responses and testing their ability to prevent infection or to control virus replication after virus challenge. NHP models can be used to optimize vaccines, to evaluate vaccine combinations, to determine vaccine delivery routes that provide immune responses at mucosal portals of entry, to find ways to generate broadly cross-reactive neutralizing antibodies, and, following challenge with virus, to determine whether or not the vaccine immunizations were effective. NHP models can also be used to explore a vaccine¿s impact on the risk of acquisition of infection. NIAID supports NHP studies through both contract (Simian Vaccine Evaluation Unit contracts) and grant assistance mechanisms.

非人灵长类动物（NHP）模型提供了测试各种候选艾滋病疫苗的机会，优化它们引发免疫应答的能力，并测试它们在病毒攻击后预防感染或控制病毒复制的能力。NHP模型可用于优化疫苗，评估疫苗组合，确定在粘膜入口处提供免疫应答的疫苗递送途径，寻找产生广泛交叉反应性中和抗体的方法，以及在病毒攻击后确定疫苗免疫是否有效。NHP模型也可用于探索疫苗对感染风险的影响。NIAID通过合同（猿猴疫苗评估单位合同）和赠款援助机制支持国家卫生方案研究。
