Abstract

Public Health Relevance

The proposed experiments will allow a greater appreciation of the potential for recombinant herpesviruses in particular, and persistent vectors in general, for their capacity to provide protection against AIDS virus exposure. If shown to be significantly better than other vaccine approaches, it will shape the emphasis for ongoing preclinical vaccine discovery research.
