AB The transmembrane proteins (TMP) of immunodeficiency lentiviruses are
primary candidates for inclusion in AIDS vaccines, the design and
testing of which is facilitated by the SIV-macaque infection model.
Antibody responses to linear determinants in the SIVmac TMP were
investigated in rhesus macaques either infected with the SIVmac J5
molecular clone or vaccinated with partially purified,
formalin-inactivated SIVmac. Infected animals were shown to recognise
predominantly four regions in the external domain and three regions in
the internal domain of the TMP defined by a series of nominally 20mer
overlapping peptides. In contrast SIV vaccinates had extremely
restricted and weak antibody responses to the TMP, indicating a
selective loss of immunogenicity of this component in the vaccine.
