  • USE OF MUTANT HIV-1 PROTEASE OR SIV PROTEASE AS AN ADJUVANT
    Publication number: 20110059127
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a mutant HIV-1 (Human immunodeficiency virus-1) protease capable of effectively enhancing cell-mediated immune responses to DNA vaccination, and use of a nucleic acid encoding the same as a vaccine adjuvant. The mutant HIV-1 protease according to the present invention has inactivated or attenuated proteolytic activity, while retaining chaperone-like activity. When the mutant HIV-1 protease is used together with a DNA vaccine against the HIV-1 envelope protein or the HPV antigen (E6 or E7), cell-mediated immune responses can be effectively enhanced for the prevention or treatment of AIDS or cervical cancer.
