Popis: A human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) vaccine faces the challenge of eliciting immune responses that can prevent the acquisition of virus and the establishment of latency. Vaccine-induced antibodies (Abs) can block infection by directly neutralizing virus [1] and by binding to virus and virus-infected cells to tag them for destruction by the innate immune response [2, 3]. Elicited cytotoxic (ie, CD8+) T cells can modulate the severity of infection and slow disease progression by recognizing and killing infected cells. The one vaccine to achieve at least partial prevention of infection (efficacy, 31.2%) was tested in Thailand in the RV144 trial [4]. This vaccine regimen consisted of 2 recombinant canarypox primes (ALVAC-HIV vCP1521), followed by 2 canarypox plus bivalent gp120 protein in alum boosts (AIDSVAX B/E) [5]. The elicited Abs had limited ability to neutralize tier 1 HIV isolates, which are easy to neutralize, and no detectable neutralizing activity for tier 2 viruses, which are more difficult to neutralize and characteristic of most currently circulating viruses [6]. In the correlates of risk analysis, the primary immune response that reduced the risk of infection was the binding of Abs to variable loops 1 and 2 of HIV envelope glycoprotein (Env) [7–9]. Provocatively, certain circulating Env-specific immunoglobulin A (IgA) appeared to decrease vaccine efficacy by competing with immunoglobulin G (IgG) binding and Fcγ-initiated mechanisms of protection, such as Ab-dependent cellular cytotoxicity [7, 10, 11]. Nonneutralizing Ab, induced by the RV144 vaccine regimen, captured infectious virions [12]. The binding and neutralizing Ab responses elicited in RV144 rapidly waned, falling by ≥10-fold in the first 6 months [6, 13]. Efficacy also fell with time, from an estimated 60% at peak vaccine response to
