Abstract

The complexity of microbe infections requires novel approaches to vaccine design. It is particularly challenging to develop a safe and effective vaccine against human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1. The versatility of DNA vaccination provides new perspectives. Recombinant subunit vaccines derived from adenoviruses and adeno-associated viruses are under extensive development as HIV-1 vaccines. For all of those vaccine vector platforms, muscle appears to be a practical, effective, and safe target. A vaccine strategy based on initial priming with DNA vaccine and/or viral vector vaccine and then boosting with a second viral vector vaccine has shown promise in HIV-1 vaccine development. The recent progress in DNA vaccines and viral vector subunit vaccines, particularly those derived from novel serotypes of adenovirus and adeno-associated virus, is reviewed here.
