  • Publication number: 20080267993
    Abstract: The invention provides vaccination protocols for administering immunogens to a primate host in order to promote the formation of neutralizing antibodies (NAbs) against primate immunodeficiency viruses. In some embodiments, the vaccination protocols comprise the step of administering to a primate host a first immunogen comprising at least one primate immunodeficiency virus Envelope (env) sequence having a first set of consensus glycosylation sequences, followed by a second immunogen comprising at least one primate immunodeficiency virus env sequence having a second set of consensus glycosylation sequences, wherein the differences between the first set of consensus glycosylation sequences and the second set of consensus glycosylation sequences comprise differences in consensus glycosylation sequences observed in HIV isolates obtained at different time points of a natural infection.
