Abstract

To study the immune effect of recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) combined with recombinant adenovirus (rAdV) vaccine in BALB/c mice. The codon-modified HIV-1 gp120 gene was inserted into plasmid of adeno-associated virus and adenovirus vector separately. Then the rAAV and rAdV vaccines were constructed. BALB/c mice were immunized with rAAV and rAdV vaccines in different administration scheme. The IgG antibody was detected by ELISA and CTL response was detected by intracellular cytokine stain assay. Both rAAV and rAdV vaccine could express gp120 gene; the mice primed with rAAV at week 0, 2 and boosted with rAdV at week 5, 14 and 20 elicited the strongest gp120 specific CTL and IgG antibody response. The mice primed with rAAV and boosted with rAdV could elicit specific CTL response and IgG antibody.
