An effective vaccine strategy for HIV-1 will probably requires the induction and maintenance of both humoral and cellular immunity. We tested a new prime-boost approach of intranasal priming with 10 microg DNA plasmid in the PEI/DNA complexes and boosting with 10(7)PFU of replicative recombinant TianTan vaccinia virus (rTTV) expressing HIV-1 Gag in BALB/c mice. Intranasal priming with PEI/DNA complexes elicited strikingly stronger HIV-specific T-cell (p=0.

Background: The effort to develop an effective preventive vaccine against HIV-1 infection is challenged by the wide genetic diversity of HIV-1 among different isolates.

Objectives: To explore a new vaccination strategy by using heterologous HIV immunogens derived from different clades for sequential priming and boosting.

Methods: HIV Env and Gag immunogens derived from Thailand B (B'), C/B' recombinant and A/E recombinant were selected as these three clades account for 29%, 45% and 15% of HIV-1 prevalence in China, respectively.

A method was developed to analyze the distribution of sulfur compounds in model sulfur compounds by potentiometric titration, and applied to analyze hydrotreated transformer base oil. Model thioethers were oxidized to corresponding sulfoxides by tetrabutylammonium periodate and sodium metaperiodate, respectively, and the sulfoxides were titrated by perchloric acid titrant in acetic anhydride. The contents of aliphatic thioethers and total thioethers were then determined from that of sulfoxides in solution.
