摘要: After more than 20 years of intense research, a safe and effective vaccine against HIV-1/AIDS has not been developed. Passive immunization used as tool to demonstrate the role neutralizing antibodies in conferring protection HIV-1 challenge chimpanzees. Because these animals are endangered studies difficult conduct with this species, chimeric viruses, termed simian-human immunodeficiency viruses (SHIVs), have generated that encode envelope gene backbone simian virus (SIV). SHIVs replicate several macaque species can induce AIDS animals. human monoclonal (nmAbs) protected rhesus macaques from SHIV infection provided proof-of-concept protective effects antibodies. At same time, nmAbs be evaluated for safety efficacy SHIV/macaque model therapeutic modalities their own right prevention, post-exposure prophylaxis, or possibly use. Experimental details testing infant monkeys, which allows without need generate large amounts nmAbs.
