Abstract

We used, within the case study, virus-like particles (VLP) and attenuated strains of salmonella for the delivery of HIV-1 DNA vaccine encoding the multiepitope CTL-immunogene. The immunogenicity of the thus obtained vaccine constructions was comparatively analyzed. All constructions were shown to be able of inducing, in immunized animals, both the specific T-cell responses and the synthesis of virus-specific antibodies. The lowest level of immune response was registered in animals immunized by "naked" plasmid DNA. The delivery by plasmid DNA involving VLP or the attenuated strain of salmonella enhances the efficiency of the DNA-vaccine presentation to the immune system.
