Several years ago, neonatal and adult rhesus monkeys were inoculated intravenously or orally with a live attenuated mutant of SIV, termed SIV(3. Long-term follow-up has revealed that this mutant has retained its ability to cause AIDS in infant and adult hosts. Of a total of 8 infant macaques vaccinated as neonates, 6 have died of AIDS, and the remaining 2 survivors exhibit signs of disease progression. Of 16 adult vaccine recipients, 6 had recurrence of chronic viremia associated also with persistent inversion of the CD4/CD8 ratios. Of these animals, 2 have died, one of uterine carcinoma and progressive SIV disease, the second one of end-stage AIDS. When we compared the median survival time of infants inoculated at birth with wild-type, nef+ SIVmac251 with that of SIV(3 vaccine recipients, a 3.8-fold prolongation of a median survival was noted in the vaccinees as compared to infants infected with wild-type virus. The residual pathogenicity of the multiply dele ted SIV(3 raises serious safety issues regarding the use of similarly attenuated HIV strains as human AIDS vaccine candidates.
