Altered response hierarchy and increased T-cell breadth upon HIV-1 conserved element DNA vaccination in macaques.

HIV sequence diversity and potential decoy epitopes are hurdles in the development of an effective AIDS vaccine. A DNA vaccine candidate comprising of highly conserved p24(gag) elements (CE) induced robust immunity in all 10 vaccinated macaques, whereas full-length gag DNA vaccination elicited respo...
