Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to determine safety and immunogenicity (ability to induce an immune response) of a novel HIV vaccine based on adeno-associated virus (AAV)
Detailed Description:
The need for a vaccine to prevent AIDS and interrupt transmission of HIV is indisputable. To be effective, an HIV vaccine will have to induce cellular and humoral immune responses that are durable and potent. Intra-muscular delivery of HIV genes enclosed within recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) protein capsid has been shown to be a potent inducer of both antibodies and T-cell responses in animal studies. tgAAC09, consisting of single-stranded DNA from Clade C HIV-1 genes for the gag, protease and part of the reverse transcriptase proteins enclosed within a rAAV serotype 2 protein capsid, was developed as one component of a multi-component HIV vaccine. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of tgAAC09 in healthy, HIV-seronegative volunteers.
