In cynomolgus monkeys, we compared two human‐derived SIV mac 251 whole virus vaccines, a long vs short immunization schedule, and two different challenge viruses. Both vaccines induced protection after challenge with human‐derived SIV mac 251/32H. There was no difference between the two schedules of immunization. Seven monkeys, five of which were protected following the first challenge, were reboosted and rechallenged with monkey‐derived SIV mac 251, but no protection was observed. The titers of anti‐human cell or ‐SIV neutralizing antibodies were not related to protection.
