abstract = {The safety and immunogenicity of an HIV-1 nef-expressing
modified vaccinia virus Ankara (MVA) was investigated in 14
HIV-1-positive patients (CD4 > 400/mu l) on highly active
antiretroviral therapy (HAART). Patients were vaccinated at
weeks 0, 4 and 16, followed by interruption of HAART at week
18. MVA-nef was well tolerated except for local reactions,
with only mild systemic side effects reported in a few
patients. Vaccination with MVA-nef was associated with
recognition of new HIV-1 T-cell epitopes (cytotoxic
T-lymphocyte epitopes in 9/14 patients, CD4
epitope/recombinant Nef protein in 2/14) and an increase in
CD4+ and CD8+ T cells. All patients had been vaccinated
against smallpox and a strong T-cell and antibody response
to MVA was induced in all patients. After interruption of
HAART, viral load rebounded in all patients, but after a
median time of 36 (4-76) weeks in 9/14 patients, viraemia
remained below the pre-HAART viral load and CD4 counts
stayed above the pre-HAART levels. While six patients have
remained off therapy for a median time of 64 (57-76) weeks,
HAART was resumed in 8/14 patients after a median treatment
interruption time of 15 (4-38) weeks. This study has
demonstrated that MVA-nef is safe and immunogenic in
HIV-1-infected subjects and has provided encouraging data on
the potential of therapeutic vaccinations.},
