This project is designed to prepare a GMP quality investigational alternative serotypes (chimpanzee Adeno type 3) HIV vaccine and complete the preclinical and laboratory studies needed to begin a clinical trial. The first clinical trial is a Phase I study to examine tolerability, dose, and immune response of the HIV vaccine. The hypothesis is that this vaccine will be safe for human administration and elicit immune responses to HIV. Clinical materials have been manufactured in compliance with current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) and released for use in Phase I clinical trials
