Hyperattenuated simian immunodeficiency virus SIVmac239-derived constructs Δ5-CMV and Δ6-CCI are an effort to render SIV incapable of, in practical terms, both reversion and recombination while maintaining the immune features of SIV as a retrovirus. Primary inoculation of cynomolgus macaques with 108 50% tissue culture infective doses (TCID50 ) of Δ5-CMV or Δ6-CCI induced low-level humoral and cellular responses detectable in the absence of measureablein vivo replication. The first of three DNA boosts resulted in elevated gamma interferon (IFN-γ) enzyme-linked immunospot (ELISPOT) responses to Gag, Pol, and Env in the Δ5-CMV vaccine group compared to the Δ6-CCI vaccine group (P = 0.001). Weekly intrarectal challenge with a low dose of SIVmac239 followed by a dose escalation was conducted until all animals became infected. The mean peak viral load of the Δ5-CMV-vaccinated animals (3.7 × 105 copies/ml) was ∼1 log unit lower than that of the control animals. More dramatically, the viral load set point of these animals was decreased by 3 log units compared to that of the controls (&lt;50 versus 1.64 × 104 copies/ml;P &lt; 0.0001). Seventy-five percent (6/8) of vaccine recipients controlled virus below 1,000 copies/ml for at least 6 months, with a subset controlling virus and maintaining substantial CD4 T-cell counts for close to 2 years of follow-up. The correlates of protection from SIV disease progression may lie in the rapidity and protective value of immune responses that occur early in primary SIV infection. Prior immunization with hyperattenuated SIVmac239, even if sterilizing immunity is not achieved, may allow a more advantageous host response.
