Elicitation of α4β7-Competitive Antibodies in Rhesus Macaques by a Synthetic V2 Immunogen

艾滋病毒疫苗和其他预防战略的开发依赖于在临床前研究中使用非人类灵长类动物，以推进有效的艾滋病候选疫苗的开发，并推进有效的局部杀微生物剂和其他预防方式或基于免疫的疗法的开发。NIAID猿类疫苗评估单位（SVEU）合同将提供主要支持艾滋病疫苗临床前评估的非人类灵长类动物资源。SVEUs开展研究，以支持各种研究人员正在开发的疫苗。这些研究补充了niaid支持的基础疫苗研究和疫苗评估研究，这些研究由R01（研究者发起的研究）拨款、HIVRAD（艾滋病毒疫苗研究和设计计划）拨款、IPCAVD（临床前-临床综合艾滋病疫苗开发）拨款和NHP联盟资助。SVEUs还对公司或其他研究人员提供的候选疫苗进行研究。主要目的是在非人灵长类动物中诱导α4β7竞争性抗体。

The development of HIV vaccines and other prevention strategies relies on the use of nonhuman primates in preclinical studies to advance the development of effective AIDS vaccine candidates and to advance development of effective topical microbicides and other prevention modalities or immune-based therapies. The NIAID Simian Vaccine Evaluation Unit (SVEU) contracts shall provide nonhuman primate resources that primarily support preclinical evaluation of AIDS vaccines. The SVEUs conduct studies in support of vaccines being developed by a wide range of investigators. These studies complement NIAID-supported basic vaccine research and vaccine evaluation studies funded through R01 (investigator-initiated research) grants, HIVRAD (HIV Vaccine Research and Design Program) grants, IPCAVD (Integrated Preclinical-Clinical AIDS Vaccine Development) grants, and NHP Consortium awards. The SVEUs also perform studies of candidate vaccines offered by companies or other researchers. The primary activity is to conduct a study to elicit α4β7- competitive antibodies in non-human primates.
