In an attempt to analyse the role of anti-envelope immunity in the protection of rhesus monkeys against an HIV-2 intravenous challenge, rhesus macaques were immunized twice with recombinant HIV-2 ROD vaccinia viruses (108 p.f.u. each) at days 0 and 30, followed by booster injections of purified HIV-2 proteins at months 8, 9, 15 and 27. One group of five macaques was immunized with the Gag, Pol, Vif and Nef antigens, whereas a second group received the same antigens with the addition of HIV-2 Env protein. Eight months after the last boost, the animals were challenged by intravenous injection of 100 AID50 of a monkey PBMC-grown stock of HIV-2 SBL. None of the animals was protected in spite of high humoral immune responses on day of challenge as determined by ELISA and Western Blot assays.
