The immune system is not able to “contain” VL rebound even after a long term successful suppressive ART Conversely, the aim of an immunogen or a therapeutic vaccine should be to avoid VL rebound after interruption of ART

VACCINE AGAINST HIV-AIDS: 2005

Most efficient and cost effective intervention in the eradication (small pox, polio) or control of transmisible infectious diseases Most are preventive Some are “therapeutic”: rabies, difteria, tetanus, zoster

VACUNAS: COMPONENTE MAGICO

I.P.

VACCINE AGAINST HIV-AIDS: 2011

Most efective vaccines have been discovered by trial and error without knowing the correlates of immuneprotection of natural disease or to prevent or modify the evolution of the disease

VACCINE AGAINST HIV-AIDS: 2005

Immune system (innate, Ab, CMI, mucosal) is the natural tool to identify, protect, eradicate and/ or modulate the evolution of transmisible infectious diseases After a first contact is able to generate a quick memory response Limited varibility of ofending pathogens. Cross reactivity Remains intact during the course of most infections

Infecting HIV sequences Gag sequences differ genetically from

sequences contained in the vaccine

Gag Pol Nef Nef Pol Gag

STEP trial post-analyses

• Viruses in breakthrough infections (i.e. in vaccine group) are genetically further

apart from the vaccine sequence than viruses in the placebo-group

• This “sieve-effect” suggests that:

• the vaccine may have blocked the out-growth of HIV variants that were

most similar to the vaccine

• the vaccine induced immune response may have driven specific viral

evolution

• The differences in viral evolution or strain selection did NOT affect viral load, but

the observed selection effect indicates that the induced immunity was in some

way acting on the virus at least.
