RESUMO

Macaques which developed high-titer neutralizing antibodies (htNAb) after immunization with a virion-derived oligomeric envelope glycoprotein subunit vaccine were protected against a homologous simian immunodeficiency virus SIVmac challenge. Here we demonstrate that the htNAb could be overcome by V1-env region variants isolated ex vivo from an SIVmac-infected macaque. The results further suggest that the development of V1-env region neutralization escape mutants is also necessary for survival of the virus in infected macaques. The immunological capacity of a single variable region to induce neutralizing antibodies in vaccinated and infected macaques initiate new ideas for a successful vaccine strategy.
