Introduction

Over decades, billions of dollars have been dedi-cated to the development of an AIDS vaccine, onlyto result in disappointment and failure (1, 2). Theexact number of vaccines tested pre-clinically andclinically is difficult to determine, but recentreviews have suggested over 30–40 vaccines in over85 clinical trials involving almost 20,000 volunteers(3–7). The US National Institute of Allergy andInfectious Diseases (NIAID) report over 50 preven-tive vaccines in over 100 clinical trials (8), and 30-plus therapeutic trials. This analysis indicates thatthe figures are even greater, with no vaccine affect-ing disease progression (9, 10) or approved for use.

Initial optimism, such as that shown in 1984when the US Health and Human Services secretarydeclared that a vaccine would be available withintwo years, has given way to a realisation that thevirus will not be beaten easily. In some quarters, itis acknowledged that animal models of questionablerelevance are culpable (for comprehensive citedexamples and examples of expert opinion, see [11]and other cited references throughout this review).These animal models include the use of macaquesinfected with Simian Immunodeficiency Virus (SIV)or hybrids of SIV and Human ImmunodeficiencyVirus (HIV).

Summary — Prior to Simian Immunodeficiency Virus (SIV)-infected macaques becoming the ‘model ofchoice’ in the 1990s, chimpanzees were widely used in AIDS vaccine research and testing. Faced with thecontinued failure to develop an effective human vaccine, some scientists are calling for a return to theirwidespread use. To assess the past and potential future contribution of chimpanzees to AIDS vaccine devel-opment, databases and published literature were systematically searched to compare the results of AIDSvaccine trials in chimpanzees with those of human clinical trials, and to determine whether the chimpanzeetrials were predictive of the human response. Protective and/or therapeutic responses have been elicited inchimpanzees, via: passive antibody transfer; CD4 analogues; attenuated virus; many types and combina-tions of recombinant HIV proteins; DNA vaccines; recombinant adenovirus and canarypox vaccines; andmany multi-component vaccines using more than one of these approaches. Immunogenicity has also beenshown in chimpanzees for vaccinia-based and peptide vaccines. Protection and/or significant therapeuticeffects have not been demonstrated by any vaccine to date in humans. Vaccine responses in chimpanzeesand humans are highly discordant. Claims of the importance of chimpanzees in AIDS vaccine developmentare without foundation, and a return to the use of chimpanzees in AIDS research/vaccine development isscientifically unjustifiable.

Key words: AIDS, chimpanzee, HIV, Pan troglodytes, vaccine.

for the reinstatement of chimpanzees in AIDSresearch.

Summary of Vaccines and ClinicalTrials

A prerequisite for comparing human and chim-panzee responses to AIDS vaccines is a comprehen-sive assessment of which vaccines have beeninvolved in clinical trials to date. This was achievedby consulting the National Library of Medicine’sClinicalTrials.gov database (http://www.clinicaltri-als.gov/), for which registration of clinical trials hasbeen required for several years by the InternationalCommittee of Medical Journal Editors. The searchwas performed by using the operators ‘AIDS ORHIV’ (Disease or Condition field), and ‘Vaccine’(Experi mental Treatment field). It included all trialsthat were no longer recruiting patients. Thoughthis database may not constitute an exhaustiverepository of information regarding all trials of HIVvaccines to date, it currently describes around47,000 trials sponsored by the National Institutesof Health (NIH), other US federal agencies and pri-vate industry, conducted in 151 countries. For thepurposes of this investigation, it can be regarded asthe most complete source of HIV clinical trial datawhich is readily available. The International AIDSVaccine Initiative (IAVI) database (http://www.iavireport. org/trialsdb/default.asp) was also used toobtain vaccine details.

All the clinical trials located are summarised inTable 1. The 197 clinical trials of AIDS vaccines

registered involved 85 different vaccine products(strain specificity of recombinant proteins, forexample, was taken into account, meaning thatstrain MN recombinant gp120 was considered to bea separate vaccine from strain SF-2 recombinantgp120).

Figure 1 indicates the types and prevalence ofvaccines tested clinically in the 197 trials: 49 trials(25%) were of recombinant protein vaccines; 41 tri-als (21%) were of recombinant microbial vaccines(RMVs); and 50 trials (25%) used a combination oftwo or more approaches. These trials and the othersconstituting the remaining 29%, are discussedbelow.

Figure 2 provides a breakdown of the types ofvaccines in the RMV class. Of 41 trials, 13 (32%)involved canarypox vectors, closely followed by ade-novirus vectors (12 trials [29%]). Eight trials (20%)were based on vaccinia virus vaccines, and theremaining 19% involved a variety of viruses andbacteria, as detailed in the text.

Of the trials, 143 (72%) were Phase I trials(Figure 3), which involve a relatively small numberof volunteers (typically 20–100) over a two-yearperiod, in which humans encounter the vaccine forthe first time. Twenty-four (12%) were Phase II tri-als, in which vaccine candidates that appearedpromising in Phase I investigations are tested in upto 300 people, including those at high risk of HIVinfection or who are HIV-positive (HIV+). Sixteen(8%) Phase I/II trials were also registered (i.e.Phase I and Phase II trials performed in parallel).

Just seven of the 197 clinical trials progressed toPhase III (the final stage of testing prior to licens-

ing), in which the vaccine is tested typically in up to3000 people, involving individuals at higher risk. Afurther seven trials did not specify the phase.

Figure 4 summarises the status of the registeredtrials as of summer 2007. A total of 106 trials (54%)had reached an end, of which 95 trials (48% of thetotal) had been completed, with a further ten ter-minated and one suspended. Fifty-eight trials (29%)were ‘no longer recruiting’; 33 were either actively,or about to begin, recruiting (24 trials and nine tri-als, respectively).

Detailed Analysis and Human VersusChimpanzee Comparison

Vaccines and clinical trials were analysed in detailto assess whether those that failed in humans pro-vided protection from HIV infection and/or thera-peutic benefits in chimpanzees. A comprehensiveanalysis was performed of the recent history andcurrent situation surrounding vaccine developmentin chimpanzees (see Table 2 for trial information)and humans (Table 1), and to compare results andinformation from each species. Full use was made of the Nonhuman Primate HIV/SIV Vaccine Trials(NHPVT) Database (http://www.hiv.lanl.gov/content/vaccine/home.html). In these Tables, the interven-tions are shown in plain text, underlined, or boldtext, to indicate which specific vaccines were testedin both species (see Table legends).

Passive approaches

Many of the early experiments in HIV vaccineresearch centred on passively transferring HIV andSIV-specific antibodies from infected to non-infected animals, to see if this protected the recipi-ents from infection following a subsequent viralchallenge (for reviews, see 15–19). Five such trialsin chimpanzees are registered in the NHPVT data-base, and are summarised in Table 2.

The search of the ClinicalTrials.gov database didnot locate any human trials of passive antibodies toprotect against or to treat HIV infection, but manyreports of pre-clinical and clinical investigations ofpassive therapies for HIV/AIDS do exist. TheNHPVT database contains five entries for trials ofthis type, and all but the earliest (NHP .361; regis-tered in 1988) either prevented or controlled HIVinfection in chimpanzees (Table 2). Murthy et al.(17) referred to passive immunisation studies inchimpanzees involving a total of five different anti-bodies. Four of them were protective; the one thatwas not protective did, however, delay the onset ofinfection (20). HIV human hyperimmune immuno -globulin (HIVIG) had been shown to protect chim-panzees from HIV challenge when administeredboth pre- and post-exposure (21), an observationthat prompted the authors to conclude that induc-tion of humoral immunity was a pre-requisite forany HIV vaccine, but that cell-mediated immunitymay not be needed — a conclusion that is

unfounded in humans. Stiehm et al. (22), in con-trast, assessed the effects of HIVIG in 30 HIV+ chil-dren, where CD4 cell levels, plasma RNA copynumber, cellular virus load, immunoglobulin levels,and neutralising antibody titres were only mini-mally affected and clinical status was not changed.

A soluble CD4 analogue called ‘CD4-IgG’ (alsoknown as CD4 immunoadhesin, in which CD4 iscombined with an immunoglobulin for stability)was also protective in chimpanzee experiments(23). Trials in humans, however, suggested no evi-dence of clinical benefit: for example, a Phase I trialrevealed that CD4-IgG did not augment the effectsof the HIV inhibitor drug, azidothymidine (AZT;24), and a Phase I/II investigation revealed a slightimprovement of T-helper cell function, but no clini-cal benefit (25). Arguably, these difficulties may beexpected, because HIV+ individuals have high lev-els of soluble CD4 in their blood, even in quiteadvanced AIDS, suggesting it has little or no effecton progression of the disease.

More recently, Armbruster et al. (26, 27)described Phase I clinical trials of three humanmonoclonal antibodies (hMAbs), in which they weresafe and well tolerated. One of these antibodies hadbeen shown to delay seroconversion in chimpanzeessome time previously (16), and a paper reported aproof-of-principle human study (though the evi-dence is considered to be ‘circumstantial’; 28),showing that a cocktail of the same hMAbs could

delay viral rebound in HIV-infected patients whoseantiretroviral therapy has been interrupted. Therewere major caveats, however: the trial was neitherrandomised nor blinded; only two of eight chroni-cally infected patients showed rebound delay; theantibodies used had to be highly potent and used ata high dose; and, there was evidence of rapid escape.

Nevertheless, in spite of these caveats, it is claimedthat the findings from these experiments, in whichthe transferred antibodies protected chimpanzeesagainst HIV-1 infection when administered immedi-ately prior to or after viral challenge, directed the ini-tial push toward an HIV vaccine involvingrecombinant HIV envelope proteins to induce the pro-duction of HIV neutralising antibodies (29, 30). Thestatus of this approach to vaccine development is con-sidered in detail below (see ‘Recombinant Proteins’).

Attenuated/inactivated virus vaccines

Live attenuated virus vaccines have historicallybeen used with great success against many diseases(including measles, mumps and rubella), due totheir induction of strong and broadly reactivehumoral and cell-mediated immune responses (31).Despite this, putative AIDS vaccines of this classhave been limited to NHP studies and have notentered clinical trials (32, 33). This is due to con-cerns over reversion to virulence, recombinationwith other virions to form new, potentially highly-

pathogenic strains, and the dangerous conse-quences of integration of the attenuated virusgenetic material into the host genome (summarisedby Van der Ryst; 29). Although these concerns arelargely based on the results of macaque experi-ments, there are convincing human data: immuno-suppression has occurred in humans exposed toattenuated HIV via blood transfusions; and residualinfectivity caused over 200,000 people to be infectedby live polio virus during vaccination in the infa-mous Cutter incident (30).

Inactivated AIDS vaccines, however, have beentested clinically. Ten trials are registered, includingtwo in 2005 for the Remune vaccine (formerlyknown as HIV-1 Immunogen), which compriseswhole HIV particles that have been chemically andradioactively inactivated, with their envelopesremoved to preclude the infection of T-cells. Therationale is to use this vaccine as a therapeuticintervention, probably in tandem with anti-retrovi-ral drugs, in people already infected with HIV, inorder to control the activity of the virus by stimu-lating cell-mediated immunity and thus reduce therate of progression of AIDS.

However, Remune has failed to produce promisingresults in human subjects. Two of the ten trials (themost recent of which was registered in 2005) wereterminated, and a large Phase III study failed to findany additional benefit from Remune, when used toaugment anti-HIV drugs (10). Even more recently inJuly 2007, Remune’s manufacturer (ImmuneResponse Corporation) announced the discontinua-tion of its HIV Vaccine Development Program alto-gether, following a disappointing clinical trial ofRemune and its second-generation successor vaccine,IR103 (consisting of Remune and an adjuvant knownas Amplivax) (34). The results of human trials havetherefore prompted negative opinions concerning thisapproach in a number of reviews, for example,“…inactivated viruses have not been capable ofinducing adequate immunoresponse” (35).

There is evidence of enhanced immune responsein chimpanzees following vaccination with a gp120-depleted inactivated HIV-1 (36), and the NHPVTdatabase contained one record of a chimpanzee trialof this type of vaccine (Table 2). In 1993, inacti-vated whole HIV-1 was tested along with three dif-ferent adjuvants (37), in three groups of threechimpanzees — but even the group with the ‘best’immune responses became infected when chal-lenged shortly after their sixth immunisation. It istherefore assumed that vaccines of this type mayhave proceeded to clinical trials based on more-pos-itive results from experiments with other species.

Recombinant proteins

Immunogenic proteins have constituted a signifi-cant area of AIDS vaccine research, accounting for

49 (25%) of the 197 registered trials, though justseven of them have been registered since 2004.These 49 trials have tested just nine different vac-cines (or 15 vaccines, if similar proteins from differ-ent strains of HIV are included). Vaccines testedhave comprised the following: gp160 (expressed inVero cells [epithelial cells from African green mon-keys], in Sf9 cells by using recombinant bac-ulovirus, and from strains IIIB and LAI-2); gp120(strains SF2, MN, IIIB, A244 and W61D, and alsoEnv 2-3 [a yeast-derived gp120 combined with anadjuvant emulsion]); NefTat fusion protein; Tatprotein; EnvPro (an engineered and stabilised formof gp160 with adjuvant); and p24 protein (from thegag gene). Other proteins, such as the viral poly-merase and regulatory proteins Rev and Vpr, havealso been subject to evaluation. Perhaps the best-known candidate vaccines from this class are theAIDSVAX vaccines (AIDSVAX B/B and AIDSVAXB/E), each comprising two gp120 proteins from dif-ferent HIV clades.

The relatively high number of trials for the num-ber of recombinant protein vaccines is due to com-bination of the immunogenic proteins with avariety of adjuvants, as well as the testing of dif-ferent routes of administration. Notably, just nineof the total of 49 trials have not been completed. Ofthe 40 completed trials, just four had progressedbeyond Phase I. Of the nine trials that had notbeen completed, three were prematurely termi-nated. Almost all of the trials (45/49) involvedrecombinant envelope protein, since this protein isthe primary target for neutralising antibodies ininfected persons (38). Although invariablyimmunogenic, the antibodies induced have tendedto be very clade-specific and have failed to neu-tralise primary isolates of HIV derived from theblood of patients. Another major problem with theuse of stand-alone vaccines of this type was quicklyrevealed — they rarely induced the cell-mediatedarm of the immune system, which has beenregarded as an essential requirement for an HIVvaccine for some years (39).

Seven chimpanzee trials of recombinant pro-teins were listed in the NHPVT database, inwhich eight vaccines were tested (Table 2). Alleight tests showed the vaccines to be immuno-genic (though one test gave mixed results). Threeof the eight tests did not result in protection(involving two gp120 and one gp160 vaccine),whereas three tests did result in protection (all ofwhich involved gp120 vaccines). One of the tests(with a gp120 vaccine) gave mixed results (whereone animal was protected, but another was notprotected completely), and another test did notassess protection from infection.

Notable vaccines reported in the scientific litera-ture include recombinant gp120 vaccines that pro-tected chimpanzees from subsequent challenge(40–42), but that failed to show protection in

human trials (43). The ability of recombinant gp160protein to confer protection was also shown inchimpanzees (44, 45), as it was in other studieswhere a variety of vaccines were also protective tochimpanzees, such as whole inactivated virus,recombinant vaccinia-gp160, the recombinant pro-teins p18 gag, p27 nef and p23 vif, and peptideimmunogens (46, 47). This protection in chim-panzees extended to challenge with HIV-infectedlymphocytes, as well as with free virus (48).Recombinant gp160 protein was also protective inchimpanzees when boosted with V3 peptides (49,50).

Also, one of the two aforementioned AIDSVAXvaccines, produced by VaxGen, was the first candi-date HIV vaccine to complete a Phase III trial (43),closely followed by the other. AIDSVAX B/B (com-prising gp120 envelope proteins from two clade Bstrains of HIV, MN and GNE8) failed to protectmore than 5000 trial participants (mainly gay men)at high risk of HIV infection (51), and AIDSVAX B/E(comprising gp120 from strains MN and A244 [cladeE]) failed to provide protection against HIV infectionfor over 2500 users of injected drugs in Thailand(52), despite repeated booster immunisationsthroughout the study. These failures occurreddespite the fact that AIDSVAX achieved the greatestimmune response of any vaccine of this type (35).

The dearth of active clinical trials of this kind ofvaccine, coupled with high-profile failures, hasprompted some to consider that the concept of theinduction of neutralising antibodies as an HIV vac-cine strategy has ‘run aground’ (53). Evidence sug-gests this was recognised by many scientists sometime ago, there having been a distinct re-focusing ofefforts to develop an effective vaccine toward otherapproaches, as well as an admission that recombi-nant proteins could be used only as part of a‘prime–boost’ vaccine regimen.

Peptide/lipopeptide vaccines

Peptide/lipopeptide vaccines constitute 14 (7%) ofthe 197 registered clinical trials, and involve ninedifferent vaccines. They contain small fragments ofHIV proteins, rather than the complete molecules,which makes them simpler and cheaper. Thesefragments often contain the most immunogenicparts of the HIV proteins, targeting an immuneresponse to dominant T-cell epitopes and neutralis-ing determinants (54), and several peptides fromdifferent strains of HIV can be contained in one vac-cine. More recently, they have been combined withlipid molecules to form ‘lipopeptides’, in order toincrease their immunogenicity (55).

In common with recombinant protein vaccines,most trials of peptides/lipopeptides were registered,and therefore took place, in and around 1999. Justfour trials have been registered since 2004. All but

one (13/14) of the trials are Phase I trials; theexception is a Phase II trial of the LIPO-5 vaccine,which is listed as no longer recruiting participants.As may be expected due to the lack of trial progres-sion, and in common with trials of recombinant pro-tein vaccines, success has not been reported (2, 35,56, 57), despite, for example, reports of potent andlong-lasting B-cell and T-cell responses to lipopep-tide immunisation in chimpanzees (58).

No chimpanzee trials of this type of vaccine werelisted in the NHPVT database.

Virus-like particles

Virus-like particles (VLPs, also known as ‘pseudoviri-ons’) can be generated by the in vitro or in vivo (suchas in transfected cells) production of HIV-1 viral pro-teins, which can spontaneously assemble into parti-cles. Only two registered trials were found inClinicalTrials.gov, which were both Phase I trialsregistered in 1999. One of these (‘HIV-1 Pseudo -virion’ vaccine) was terminated prior to completion.

Young et al. (31), however, report that the othervaccine (HIV p17/p24:Ty-VLP) has also been testedin a Phase II trial (59). In contrast to resultsobtained in mice, vaccinated individuals had lowlevels of both humoral and cell-mediated immunity.This vaccine also showed no significant effect ondisease progression in HIV-infected volunteers in along-term follow-up study (60). Young et al. (31)also cite another Phase I trial with VLPp24 vaccine,which failed to augment immunity to HIV ininfected patients (61).

No chimpanzee trials of this type of vaccine werelisted in the NHPVT database.

DNA vaccines

Twenty-five (13%) of the 197 registered trialsinvolved 14 different DNA vaccines, whereby plas-mids containing HIV genes are used to induceimmunity to the virus when injected intramuscu-larly. Cells exposed to such plasmids ‘ingest’ theDNA, which is then transcribed and translated bythe host cells to produce the cognate viral proteins.When ‘proof of concept’ was initially demonstratedby injecting DNA into the muscles of mice (62), itwas subsequently shown that proteins produced inthis manner could induce significant humoral andcellular immune responses (63–65).

The NHPVT database contained three records ofDNA vaccine trials in chimpanzees (NHP .226,NHP .202 and NHP .71), all of which demonstratedimmunogenicity. One trial provided protectionfrom HIV infection to an uninfected chimpanzee,and one vaccine induced an indefinite decrease inviral load, when used as a therapeutic vaccine forinfected chimpanzees. The other trial was also ther-

apeutic in nature, and also decreased viral load,though this effect was transient.

Twenty-five (13%) of the 197 registered trialsexamined 14 DNA vaccines. All but three of these25 trials were Phase I trials, with the remainingthree being Phase I/II trials. Just eight of the 25 tri-als had been completed at the time of writing, andone trial of a gag DNA vaccine registered in 2005has already been terminated.

Many researchers thought that DNA vaccinationwould revolutionise vaccine development for manydiseases, not just for HIV. The first human trialinvolved HIV-1 strain MN env gp160 and rev genes(66), and although marginal increases in anti-gp160cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) activity were observedin a small number of volunteers, there was nochange in CD4+ T-cell count or plasma viral load.Subsequent trials have continued to fall short: forexample, plasmids encoding nef, tat or env geneshave been only slightly immunogenic (67, 68), andjust three of the trials are anything other than PhaseI trials (i.e. Phase I/II). This disappointment isreflected in the opinions of authors of several recentreviews on the topic: “Although immunisation withDNA plasmids that contain HIV inserts has elicitedsubstantial cellular responses in mice and nonhu-man primates, these products have been poorlyimmunogenic in humans.” (5); “Plasmid DNA con-structs have proved to be effective immunogens inmice for eliciting cellular immune responses and forpriming antibody responses. It is now clear, however,that DNA vaccines are less immunogenic in non-human primates than they are in mice, and even lessimmunogenic in humans than in non-human pri-mates.” (69); and “Although DNA vaccines areimmunogenic in mice and monkeys (includingneonates), current vaccines are poorly immunogenicwhen administered alone to people.” (70).

There is ample supporting evidence for such opin-ions. DNA vaccination has been shown in numerousstudies to produce strong virus-specific immuneresponses, and to be protective against HIV infec-tion in chimpanzees (71–74).

The initial failures with ‘native’ DNA vaccineshave led to efforts to augment vaccine DNA expres-sion by using co-expressed cytokines (notably inter-leukin [IL]-12 and IL-15; 5) and adjuvants (55, 75,76; see Table 1), by improving DNA delivery tech-niques (77, 78), by using the DNA vaccines in acombination ‘prime–boost’ approach, and by usinga variety of genetic techniques, such as promotermodification and codon optimisation (79, 80).

Recombinant microbial vaccines (RMVs)

RMV trials constitute 21% (or 41/197) of all regis-tered clinical trials, and involve the use of microor-ganisms that have been genetically engineered toinclude HIV genes. Almost all of the vectors are

viral, though the bacterium, Salmonella typhi, hasalso been used. The principle involves using themicroorganism to carry the HIV genes into the cellsof the vaccinated individual, where those genes areexpressed and rendered subject to host immuneresponses via presentation on the host cell-surfacein association with Major HistocompatibilityComplex (MHC) Class I molecules.

Thirty-seven of the 41 trials have been of indi-vidual vaccines, and four involved more than onetype of vaccine in this class. Collectively, 24 differ-ent vaccines have been tested in these trials, with27 Phase I, 11 Phase II, two Phase I/II and onePhase III trials initiated. RMVs are a relatively newapproach to the development of an HIV vaccine,reflected in the fact that just ten clinical trials havereached a conclusion, and that, excluding thecanarypox class of vaccines, all but one of the trialswere registered in or after 2003. It seems, however,that the primary emphasis of HIV trials has movedtoward this approach (5), given the recent high pro-file failures of recombinant-protein vaccines inPhase III trials, for example (81–83).

Of the concluded trials, seven of the ten werecompleted, two were terminated, and one was sus-pended.

Adenovirus

Twelve trials involving five adenovirus vaccines(based on the ‘common cold’ virus) are registered,constituting 29% of all the trials involving RMVs.This approach has received much attention, for anumber of reasons: adenoviruses induce mucosalimmunity, which should help prevent HIV infectionat genital/rectal sites; they infect dendritic cells, lead-ing to the efficient presentation of viral antigens; andthey elicit long-term humoral and cell-mediatedimmunity (84). They have also given successfulresults, including protection from HIV infection, instudies in several non-human species, including non-human primates, for example macaques (85) andchimpanzees (86–88). A combination approach,involving recombinant adenovirus-gp160 and gp120proteins, was also successful in chimpanzees, protect-ing them from even high-dose challenges of HIV afteronly a few immunisations (89–91).

Clinical work in this area is fairly advanced, withhalf of these trials being in Phase II, though two ofthem have been terminated. These terminated tri-als involved Merck’s V520 vaccine, which comprisesa recombinant Ad5 adenovirus containing the HIVgag, pol and nef genes. Despite being widely consid-ered by experts as “one of the most promising to betested on people so far” (92), trials of the vaccinewere terminated in September 2007, when aninterim analysis prior to the planned completion in2008 concluded that the vaccine simply wasn’tworking. It had failed to protect thousands of

volunteers from HIV infection, and also to reduceHIV levels in people already infected. Disturbingly,more HIV infections were present in those who hadbeen given the vaccine, as compared to those giventhe placebo (24 versus 21, respectively), with thosewho had been in the trial longer and who hadreceived more injections faring even worse, with 19cases of HIV infection after vaccination versus just11 after placebo treatment (93, 94).

As this was the first viral-recombinant vaccine toreach this stage of clinical trials, and the first toexamine cell-mediated immunity alone in humans(53), some believe that it raises questions aboutwhether the use of RMVs can be successful at all,particularly as vaccines based on adenovirus haveappeared to be the most immunogenic in terms ofthe percentage of human responders and the leveland duration of T-cell responses (95).

Adeno-associated virus

Just one trial was identified involving recombinantadeno-associated virus (AAV), which was registeredin 2007, although it commenced in 2003. ThisPhase I trial has been completed, and evaluated anAAV containing clade C gag, pro, and rt HIVsequences.

Vaccinia

Of 40 single-intervention recombinant microbialvaccine trials, eight, involving seven vaccinia-virusbased interventions, were identified, though justone trial has been completed. All but two are PhaseI trials, with one trial at Phase I/II and another atPhase II.

Three trials involving recombinant vaccinia vac-cines in chimpanzees were identified in the NHPVTdatabase. Although all the vaccines were immuno-genic, the two trials that took place in the 1980s didnot show protection from HIV infection. The othertrial took place more recently in 2000, but onlyassessed immunogenicity.

Modified Vaccinia Ankara virus (MVA) forms thebasis of many recombinant vaccinia approaches to anHIV vaccine, because of its high degree of attenuationand consequent good safety profile. Initial results inhuman trials, however, have been disappointing, withcell-mediated immunity being elicited in only a smallminority of individuals (96), despite promising resultsin macaques (5). Human trials that include MVA vac-cines as part of a prime–boost strategy have also beendisappointing (6).

Canarypox

Vectors based on the canarypox virus constitute thebiggest proportion of trials involving RMVs — alto-

gether around a third of the total (13/41, or 32%), fiveof which have progressed to Phase II; the remainderare Phase I trials. These trials involved four differentvaccines, all based upon the ALVAC vector developedby Sanofi-Pasteur (based on an attenuated strain ofcanarypox). In principle, these vectors are highly fit-for-purpose: they replicate only in the cytoplasm ofinfected cells (minimising the risk of integration withthe host genome and any ensuing problems); replica-tion is restricted; and they are sufficiently safe andwell tolerated in humans (97, 98). Further, they canaccommodate large gene insertions (99), and they canstimulate both humoral and cell-mediated immuneresponses of long duration in humans (100–102).

An early Phase I/II trial ended in disappointment,however, when a gp160 vaccine (ALVAC-HIV)failed to enhance both humoral and cell-mediatedimmune responses (103). Looking at the register ofclinical trials (Table 1), further failures with otherALVAC trials appear to have followed. Focus seemsto have shifted to other approaches, signalled by thelow number of trials registered in recent years(compared to 1999–2001, for example). This is true,not just for trials solely involving canarypox, butalso for the many trials of AIDS vaccines involvingrecombinant canarypox in combination with otherapproaches such as the use of DNA and recombi-nant proteins. In addition, it has been reported thatfive different canarypox vaccines have been testedin around 11,500 volunteers (5). Though well toler-ated, these vaccines did not induce durable immuneresponses, and were immunogenic in fewer than20% of the subjects (104).

Canarypox vaccines have also been tested in chil-dren, with similarly disappointing results. Forexample, the vCP205 and vCP1452 vaccines weregiven to very young infants of HIV+ mothers; again,they were well tolerated, but produced humoral andcell-mediated immune responses either not at all, orof a very low magnitude (105). Comparison withchimpanzee vaccinations is difficult, as just onesuch trial is listed in the NHPVT database, involv-ing three animals. In this instance, the vCP250 vac-cine was immunogenic, and protected one of thetwo experimental animals from cell-associated viralchallenge. It did not, however, protect this chim-panzee against subsequent infection with cell-freeHIV (Table 2).

As mentioned previously, many trials have usedcanarypox in combination with other vaccine candi-dates — though this has not resulted in an improve-ment in efficacy. For example, vCP1452 has beenadministered with an AIDSVAX B/B boost toinfants, but enthusiasm for further trials was lim-ited due to ‘modest immunogenicity’ (70).

Others

Two clinical trials involved the use of VenezuelanEquine Enceph alitis alphavirus (VEE) as a vector.

416 J. Bailey

Both Phase I trials, they assessed the vaccineAVX101, which contains the HIV gag gene as animmunogen. Another trial, registered in 2003 butnot yet recruiting participants, proposes to evaluatea vaccine based on recombinant Salmonella typhicontaining the HIV gp120 gene.

Three clinical trials, all registered relativelyrecently (2004–2006), involved more than one typeof RMV. Two of the three trials investigated combi-nations of vaccinia-based (MVA) and fowlpox-basedvaccine pairs, each containing the env/gag andtat/rev/nef HIV genes. The status of the earlier ofthe two trials is ‘no longer recruiting,’ though thedetails state that all vaccinations were discontinuedin Novem ber 2006, and the other trial has been sus-pended. The third trial will assess a ‘prime–boost’intervention involving an initial DNA plasmid vac-cine ‘prime’, followed by a Modified VacciniaAnkara (MVA) ‘boost’ (this approach is described inmore detail later in this review).

Autologous cells

Dendritic cells are one of the first ports-of-call forthe virus upon infection. They are locally infectedat the entry site of the virus, before proceeding tothe lymph nodes where they infect CD4+ T-cells —the principal target of the virus, the attrition ofwhich leads to AIDS. Consequently, dendritic cellsare central to the induction of the immune responseto HIV infection, though their response is known todecline with time (106–109).

With this in mind, six trials have been registeredthat involve two types of autologous-cell approachto therapeutic HIV vaccination: five with dendriticcells, and the other with T-cells. The former strat-egy involves harvesting a patient’s own dendriticcells and loading them in vitro with HIV peptideantigens or inactivated autologous virus. The latterT-cell based vaccine is prepared from autologous T-cells, which have proliferated following exposure torecombinant CD4. The cells are then introducedback into the patient, in the hope that they can bet-ter activate immune responses that can control theinfection. Early results in humans are consideredpromising, at least against the same viral strainused to produce the cell-based vaccine (110), thoughthis must be interpreted with caution, as any effi-cacious vaccine must elicit immune responsesagainst diverse strains of HIV.

No chimpanzee trials of this vaccine type werelisted in the NHPVT database, though the immuno-genicity in chimpanzees of dendritic cells pulsedwith test antigens has been reported in the scien-tific literature, with somewhat equivocal results(111, 112), and a T-cell vaccine for hepatitis C hasbeen tested in chimpanzees, which elicited immu-nity against heterologous hepatitis C virus (HCV;113).

Multi-component vaccines and prime–booststrategies

Due to negative results in many trials involving sin-gle vaccines of all types, much focus has shiftedtoward the development of multi-component vac-cines, in so-called ‘prime–boost’ strategies. Thistype of intervention aims to enhance the immuneresponse to a particular antigen, and to induce boththe humoral and cell-mediated arms of the immuneresponse by administering it in successive, butslightly different, ways — especially when usingjust one route/vaccine type has not proved suffi-ciently immunogenic. The rationale is to ‘prime’ theimmune system with the first antigen (for example,a DNA vaccine or recombinant adenovirus orpoxvirus), and then to ‘boost’ the immune responseto it by using, for example, another RMV or protein.

Fifty clinical trials were identified in this category(Figure 5), with the most prevalent combinationsbeing canarypox–protein (15 trials), adenovirus–DNA(11 trials) and vaccinia–protein (7 trials). Given therelatively recent nature of this type of approach, themajority of the trials are Phase I trials (31/50), withjust seven Phase II and two Phase III trials. One ofthe Phase II trials, involving a canarypox–lipopeptidevaccine (ALVAC HIV-1433 and LIPO-6T), was termi-nated, and a recent publication revealed that HIV-specific CD4+ T-cell responses did not change inimmunised patients relative to controls, that the vac-cination had only a transient effect on interferon-gamma-producing CD8 responses, and that the viralrebound after treatment interruption was similar inimmunised patients and controls (114). The Phase IIItrial, involving a canarypox–inactivated virus vaccine(vCP1452 and Remune), was registered in 2000 andhas been completed (without success), and the othertrial, involving a canarypox–protein vaccine combina-tion (vCP1521 and AIDSVAX gp120 B/E), com-menced in 2003 and is no longer recruiting.

Despite this Phase II termination and the lack ofreported success surrounding the Phase II trials,much hope is held in some quarters for this strat-egy, largely based on pre-clinical studies in mon-keys, where prime–boost vaccines are often morepotent than either vaccine alone (55). The NHPVTdatabase lists four chimpanzee trials of multi-com-ponent vaccines, one of which tested two differentvaccine combinations. All five combinations wereimmunogenic. One of the trials (NHP .465), involv-ing an adenovirus prime and an oligomeric gp140boost, did not assess protection from infection, butall the other vaccines demonstrated protection,except one, which comprised a vCP125/gp160 com-bination (trial NHP .167). In addition to those stud-ies registered with the NHP database, Girard et al.(47) reported the protection of chimpanzees fromHIV infection following immunisation with “a vari-ety of HIV-1 immunogens — followed by rgp160and V3 peptides”, including combinations of enve-

lope antigens. This all contrasts with findings inhumans, however, where “observations in earlyphase clinical trials in humans have not been prom-ising”, due to adverse reactions and lack of diversityin the immune response (115).

Naturally, not all the vaccines tested in chim-panzees have provided protection against HIV chal-lenge. One of the vaccine combinations tested byGirard et al. (47), for example, described a combi-nation strategy involving recombinant gp160–canarypox and recombinant gp160 protein, thatfailed, although the low dose of the vaccine was pos-tulated as a factor.

Summary and Discussion

To date, 85 candidate AIDS vaccines have beentested in 197 clinical trials, comprising several maintypes — from inactivated virus vaccines throughDNA plasmids to recombinant proteins and viruses.Just 12% of these trials have reached Phase II, onlyseven (3.5%) have reached Phase III, and alto-gether, 18 trials were prematurely terminated.None has been successful.

Early optimism has transformed into a realisa-tion that we are decades away from even a partiallyeffective vaccine in humans. The monumentalfinancial and human resources allocated to vaccinedevelopment have resulted in dozens of safe andeffective vaccines only for chimpanzees and mon-keys with laboratory-induced infections. Hope thatthe use of NHPs will lead to the successful develop-ment of a vaccine for humans is tempered by therecent, high-profile failures of the AIDSVAX andV520 (Merck) candidates in extensive and late-stageclinical trials. Notably, the latter increased the riskof HIV infection compared to the placebo — and itis not alone in this respect: previously, gp120-basedvaccines increased the risk that vaccinated peoplewould develop an infection or progress to AIDSpost-infection (116).

Furthermore, the limited critical appraisal to dateof the favoured SIV/chimeric SIV–Human Immuno -deficiency Virus (SIV/SHIV)-macaque model, hasbeen unfavourable (35, 53, 56, 117–121), stimulatinga desire for models of greater relevance. While somescientists associated with chimpanzee research advo-cate a resumption of their use, such use must beobjectively and independently evaluated.

Poor performance of the chimpanzee modelin the development of AIDS vaccines

This analysis expands on previous data that under-lined the poor performance of chimpanzees as mod-els in HIV/AIDS research, evidenced by a largenumber of negative opinions and comments towardit and by the significant withdrawal of NIH funding

for it. The evidence provided, based on a compari-son of human and chimpanzee responses to AIDSvaccines, gives further argument against a returnto chimpanzee-use in this field.

Contrary to claims that chimpanzees play a “crit-ical role in the testing of potential [HIV] vaccines”and that they “are still important for testing vac-cines aimed at preventing HIV-1 infection or reduc-ing the virus load in infected individuals”(14), thisreview shows that neither claim has any scientificfoundation. Many vaccines of many types have beentested in chimpanzees prior to clinical trials, andtheir correlation to, and predictive nature for, thehuman response is demonstrably poor. Chimp -anzees have been protected from HIV infection pas-sively via the transfer of antibodies (both pre- andpost-exposure), which prompted the (now highlyunlikely) suggestion that cell-mediated immunity isnot necessary. Passive protection has also beeninduced by a soluble CD4 analogue. Neitherapproach has been successful in humans. Atten -uated vaccines have provided protection in chim-panzees, but have not been tested clinically due tosafety concerns. Inactivated-virus vaccines havedisappointed clinically, and while results were sim-ilarly negative in chimpanzees, these results were oflittle relevance and did not prevent inactivated-virus vaccines from progressing to clinical trials.Negative results with recombinant protein vaccinesin chimpanzees (Table 2) also did not stop thesevaccines progressing to further testing and clinicaltrials (122).

While RMVs have been disappointing in humans,including the Phase III AIDSVAX trials, many(excluding a couple of early efforts) provided protec-tion from HIV infection in chimpanzees. Clinical trialsuccess with peptide and lipopeptide vaccines has notbeen reported, despite prior evidence of potent andpersistent cell-mediated immune responses in chim-panzees. Both preventive and therapeutic DNA vacci-nation have been successful in chimpanzees.Optimism for success in humans was high, but poorimmunogenicity has led to recent disparaging com-ments. Recombinant adenovirus vaccines haveelicited protection from HIV infection in chim-panzees, both alone and in combination with recom-binant HIV proteins. However, the situation inhumans may be grave, with possibly “the most prom-ising [vaccine] tested on people so far”, in the form ofMerck’s V520 vaccine, not only ending in the termi-nation of its Phase IIb trial, but increasing the risk ofHIV infection for its recipients.

Due to the diminished use of chimpanzees inpre-clinical testing for reasons discussed above,some types of vaccines have not been widely testedin chimpanzees. Immunogenicity has been demon-strated in chimpanzees with vaccinia-based vac-cines, however — which is true in only a smallminority of humans in clinical trials so far.Similarly, canarypox vaccines have induced pro-

tection from cell-associated (but not cell-free)virus challenge in chimpanzees, but several vec-tors have been immunogenic in a small proportionof clinical-trial volunteers, including children,even as part of prime–boost regimens — and thenonly poorly so. Some prime–boost vaccines, involv-ing a variety of immunogens, have proven positivein chimpanzees, again in contrast to humans, inwhich the results have been disappointing, repletewith adverse reactions and lack of diversity in theimmune response.

Problems with the chimpanzee model:Reasons for its lack of relevance

Researchers continue to rely on results largely frommacaques infected with SIV or SHIV (an SIV/HIVhybrid), despite important differences between SIV-infected macaques and HIV-infected humans (53,117). Significant disparities exist in virulence,pathology, genetics, protein function, infection andhost response (118). Two recent reviews statedthat, “efficacy of HIV-1 based vaccines cannot bedirectly evaluated in the SIV model” (119) and that,“this has not proven a practical animal model forstudying vaccines” (35), the latter citing significantsupporting evidence (56, 121, 122). A 2007 reviewstated, “When it comes to testing HIV vaccines,only humans will do” (53); another cited, “the per-sistent view held by many that there is no predic-tive animal model for HIV infection in humans”(123), and another that, “No animal models faith-fully reproduce... HIV-1 infection and disease inhumans, and the studies of experimental vaccinesin animal models... have yielded disparate results”(124).

Yet the rhesus macaque became the model ofchoice following the discovery in 1987 that SIVcaused an AIDS-like disease in these animals (125).It replaced the chimpanzee, widely used in AIDSresearch for several years previously but which had“had problems from the get-go” (125) — vis-à-vispracticality (the significant costs of using and main-taining chimpanzees, including user’s fees of$50,000+ per animal), statistical significance (fewanimals could be used in each experiment, givingunreliable results), and species differences (HIVinfection rarely progresses to AIDS-like illness inchimpanzees) “undermining the model’s reliabil-ity” (125). The latter problem of scientific unrelia-bility is, from a human perspective, most worrying.If years of chimpanzee use in HIV/AIDS researchhave not led to tangible progress and improvementsclinically, then they represent a waste of limitedresources and have done little to alleviate humansuffering, as there is still no AIDS vaccine and noneis imminent. A brief summary of the known differ-ences between human and chimpanzee HIV infec-tion and ensuing pathology may explain why.

Chimpanzees have higher baseline levels of CD8+

T-cells and a higher ratio of CD8+/CD4+ T-cells,and their percentage of beta-chemokine-positiveCD8+ T-cells and natural killer (NK) cells is signif-icantly higher than in uninfected humans.Chimpanzees do not typically produce increasednumbers of these cells following HIV infection,unlike humans (126). As these are the cells thatattempt to control infection, and the latter are thecells infected by HIV-1 and subsequently destroyedby the virus, this is critical. Unlike in humans, it isdifficult to routinely isolate HIV from the plasmaand sera of infected chimpanzees (127), and chim-panzee CD4+ cell numbers do not drop dramaticallyover the course of HIV infection, with remarkablyfew exceptions. Instead, detectable plasma HIVdecreases and eventually becomes undetectable(117). With perhaps only one exception, HIV infec-tion of chimpanzees does not result in a significantdecline in CD4+ T-cell levels, immunodeficiencyand AIDS-like illness, as in humans. The exceptionwas Jerom (‘Chimpanzee C499’), who was infectedwith three different isolates of HIV-1 over ten yearsand suffered a progressive decline in CD4+ T-cellsand developed AIDS-like symptoms, caused by aquasispecies of HIV that had mutated to becomemore pathogenic (128). Notably, Jerom’s blood,though it caused a similar decline in CD4+ T-cellsin other chimpanzees transfused with it, did notcause them to develop a similar disease (129).

These differences, difficulties, and the lack of avaccine led many scientists to conclude that chim-panzees should have no place in the quest for anAIDS vaccine. In 1994, the Handbook of LaboratoryAnimal Science called primate models of AIDS“unsuccessful” (130). The NIH AIDS ResearchProgram Evaluation Task Force cited the “limitedutility of the chimpanzee model” and recommended“redirecting monies currently expended in the lessrelevant chimpanzee model” (131). The latter wasput into practice: AIDS-related chimpanzee studiesfell from almost 30 studies in 1998 to four in 2005.Thomas Insel M.D., former director of the YerkesRegional Primate Center, noted that 15 years ofwork in chimpanzees has produced little data rele-vant to humans, stating “I can’t tell you what it isthat those [chimpanzee] studies have given us thathas really made a difference in the way we approachpeople with this disease [HIV/AIDS]” (132); and areview article in 2000 opined “Defending the use-fulness of the chimpanzee as a model for HIVresearch has not only become a difficult task, butalso a controversial one” (133).

These realisations came too late. At least 198chimpanzees were deliberately infected with HIVprior to 1997 (134), and around 1,300 chimpanzeesare currently in US laboratories, due in large partto over-breeding for AIDS research in anticipationof their use in this area, and despite a breedingmoratorium being in place for the past decade.

Ethical issues associated with chimpanzee use

Ethics must be considered alongside scientific rele-vance, because of the cost of chimpanzee use, andbecause chimpanzees are a ‘special case’, testified toby public and scientific opinion, and policies andlaws in the US and throughout the world. The pas-sage of the CHIMP (Chimpanzee Health Improve -ment, Maintenance and Protection) Act in the USAin 2000, as well as the fact that many countries banor restrict the use of great apes, acknowledges a dif-ferent moral status for chimpanzees. Both scien-tists and the public acknowledge that chimpanzeeshave advanced cognitive abilities, and social andemotional needs. They are capable of reasonedthought, abstraction, generalisation and symbolicrepresentation; have a concept of self; exhibit abroad range of emotions; experience mental as wellas physical pain; and can be taught to communicatein human languages such as American Sign Lang -uage, and demonstrate complex nonverbal commu-nication patterns among themselves (135–142). Incaptivity, they show a range of behavioural abnor-malities and measurable signs of distress (psy-chopathology; 143, 144). The widely-respectedresearcher and advocate for chimpanzee welfare,Jane Goodall, stated in a letter to Science that, “Itis their humanlike behaviours that most fascinatepeople: their tool-using and making abilities, theclose supportive bonds among family members…and their complex social interactions — the cooper-ation, the altruism, and the expression of emotionslike joy and sadness” (145).

Conclusions

The evidence presented in this study includes:

— substantial differences between chimpanzee andhuman responses to HIV infection and thecourse of the disease;

— expert opinion;

— past failures as a vaccine model;

— progression of vaccines to clinical trials despitenegative results in chimpanzees;

— increasing knowledge of chimpanzees’ cognitiveand emotional capacities; and

— increased ethical issues surrounding chim-panzee research.

From this evidence, it is concluded that chim-panzees have no justifiable role in AIDS vaccineresearch and testing. Advocating the resumption oftheir use defies the burden of scientific evidence ofrepeated failures involving their use. If chim-panzees were not reliable, predictive and fit for pur-pose from 1990 to 2008, what justification is therefor a resumption of their use? A 2006 review ofAIDS vaccine testing, when referring to chim-

panzee trials of inactivated-virus and DNA vac-cines, concluded “it proved difficult to examine theeffect of these vaccines, due to the general lack ofclinical progression to immunodeficiency in thisanimal model and the prohibitive cost of theseexperiments” (7).

Some twenty years after chimpanzees were themainstay of AIDS vaccine testing, an efficaciousvaccine for human use remains unavailable and notimminent. The use of chimpanzees has largely beenabandoned for scientific and cost–benefit reasons.As millions of humans continue to become infectedor die each year, the continued use of chimpanzeesin AIDS research is scientifically unwise and ethi-cally unjustifiable.
