Smallpox Vaccine Does Not Protect Macaques with AIDS from a Lethal Monkeypox Virus Challenge

It is unknown whether smallpox vaccination would protect human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1)-infected individuals, because helper CD4+ cells, the targets of HIV-1 infection, are necessary for the induction of both adaptive CD8+ cell and B cell responses. We have addressed this question in ma...

Zusammenfassung:It is unknown whether smallpox vaccination would protect human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1)-infected individuals, because helper CD4+ cells, the targets of HIV-1 infection, are necessary for the induction of both adaptive CD8+ cell and B cell responses. We have addressed this question in macaques and have demonstrated that, although smallpox vaccination is safe in immunodeficient macaques when it is preceded by immunization with highly attenuated vaccinia strains, the macaques were not protected against lethal monkeypox virus challenge if their CD4+ cell count was
