A major obstacle to development of an effective AIDS vaccine is that along with the intended beneficial responses, the immunization regimen may activate CD4 T cells that can facilitate acquisition of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) by serving as target cells for the virus. Lu et al. (W. Lu et al., Cell Rep 1736-1746, 2012, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.celrep.2012.11.016) reported that intragastric administration of chemically inactivated simian immunodeficiency virus SIV and (iSIV-) protected 15/16 Chinese-origin rhesus macaques (RMs) from high-dose intrarectal SIV challenge at 3 months postimmunization. They attributed the observed protection to induction of immune tolerance, mediated by "MHC-Ib/E-restricted CD8 regulatory T cells that suppressed SIV-harboring CD4 T cell activation and SIV replication in 15/16 animals without inducing SIV-specific antibodies or cytotoxic T." J.-M. Andrieu et al. (Front Immunol 5:297, 2014, https://doi.org/10.3389/fimmu.2014.00297) subsequently reported protection from infection in 23/24 RMs immunized intragastrically or intravaginally with iSIV and BCG, , or , which they ascribed to the same tolerogenic mechanism. Using vaccine materials obtained from our coauthors, we conducted an immunization and challenge experiment with 54 Indian RMs and included control groups receiving iSIV only or only as well as unvaccinated animals. Intrarectal challenge with SIV resulted in rapid infection in all groups of vaccinated RMs as well as unvaccinated controls. iSIV-vaccinated animals that became SIV infected showed viral loads similar to those observed in animals receiving iSIV only or only or in unvaccinated controls. The protection from SIV transmission conferred by intragastric iSIV- administration reported previously for Chinese-origin RMs was not observed when the same experiment was conducted in a larger cohort of Indian-origin animals. Despite an increased understanding of immune responses against HIV, a safe and effective AIDS vaccine is not yet available. One obstacle is that immunization may activate CD4 T cells that may act as target cells for acquisition of HIV. An alternative strategy may involve induction of a tolerance-inducing response that limits the availability of activated CD4 T cells, thus limiting the ability of virus to establish infection. In this regard, exciting results were obtained for Chinese-origin rhesus macaques by using a "tolerogenic" vaccine, consisting of intragastric administration of and 2,2'-dithiodipyridine-inactivated SIV, which showed highly significant protection from virus transmission. In the present study, we administered iSIV- to Indian-origin rhesus macaques and failed to observe any protective effect on virus acquisition in this experimental setting. This work is important because it contributes to the overall assessment of the clinical potential of a new candidate AIDS vaccine platform based on iSIV-.

Structural alterations in cortical and thalamocortical white matter tracts after recovery from prefrontal cortex lesions in macaques.

Unilateral damage to the frontoparietal network typically impairs saccade target selection within the contralesional visual hemifield. Severity of deficits and the degree of recovery have been associated with widespread network dysfunction, yet it is not clear how these behavioural and functional changes relate with the underlying structural white matter tracts. Here, we investigated whether recovery after unilateral prefrontal cortex (PFC) lesions was associated with changes in white matter microstructure across large-scale frontoparietal cortical and thalamocortical networks.

SARS-CoV-2 is the underlying cause for the COVID-19 pandemic. Like most enveloped RNA viruses, SARS-CoV-2 uses a homotrimeric surface antigen to gain entry into host cells. Here we describe S-Trimer, a native-like trimeric subunit vaccine candidate for COVID-19 based on Trimer-Tag technology. Read More

Background: Age-associated lung tissue degeneration is a risk factor for lung injury and exacerbated lung disease. It is also the main risk factor for chronic lung diseases (such as COPD, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, cancer, among others). So, it is particularly important to find new anti-aging treatments.

Chronic psychosocial stress and experimental pubertal delay affect socioemotional behavior and amygdala functional connectivity in adolescent female rhesus macaques.

In females, pubertal onset appears to signal the opening of a window of increased vulnerability to the effects of stress on neurobehavioral development. What is the impact of pubertal timing on this process? We assessed the effects of pubertal timing and stress on behavior and amygdala functional connectivity (FC) in adolescent female macaques, whose social hierarchy provides an ethologically valid model of chronic psychosocial stress. Monkeys experienced puberty spontaneously (n = 34) or pubertal delay via Lupron treatment from age 16-33 months (n = 36). Read More

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is characterized by lipid accumulation in the liver and associates with obesity, hyperlipidemia, and insulin resistance. NAFLD could lead to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), hepatic fibrosis, cirrhosis, and even cancers. The development of therapy for NAFLD has been proven difficult. Read More
