Abstract
This pilot study tested the immunogenicity of a novel cationic liposome-DNA complex (CLDC) immunomodulatory vaccine adjuvant. Combined with a specific antigen, CLDC enhanced anti-SIV immune responses induced by various SIV vaccine candidates. Rhesus macaques immunized in the presence of CLDC developed stronger SIV-specific T and B cell responses compared to animals immunized without CLDC. These differences persisted and resulted in better memory responses after an in-vivo boost of the animals several months later with whole AT-2 inactivated SIVmac239. Thus, CLDC should be explored further as a potential immunomodulatory adjuvant in HIV vaccine design.
