Sequences from the principal neutralization domain of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) strain LAI or RF have been expressed in antigenic site 1 of the capsid of the Sabin strain of poliovirus type 1. A number of the resulting chimeras were viable. Viable variants bearing mutations within the insertion site spontaneously arose from several nonviable chimeras. In general, these mutations result in a decrease in positive charge in the substituted antigenic site 1. Two of the chimeras were genetically stable and have been further characterized. Both chimeras were neutralized by various HIV-1 neutralizing antibodies. In rabbits, both chimeras produced high levels of antibodies which react with HIV-1 gp120/160 in immunoprecipitation and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. One of the chimeras (HIV-1LAI) produced a significant but weak HIV-1 neutralizing response.

D002678 Chimera An individual that contains cell populations derived from different zygotes. Hybrids,Chimeras,Hybrid
D005822 Genetic Vectors DNA molecules capable of autonomous replication within a host cell and into which other DNA sequences can be inserted and thus amplified. Many are derived from PLASMIDS; BACTERIOPHAGES; or VIRUSES. They are used for transporting foreign genes into recipient cells. Genetic vectors possess a functional replicator site and contain GENETIC MARKERS to facilitate their selective recognition.

D000163 Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome An acquired defect of cellular immunity associated with infection by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), a CD4-positive T-lymphocyte count under 200 cells/microliter or less than 14% of total lymphocytes, and increased susceptibility to opportunistic infections and malignant neoplasms. Clinical manifestations also include emaciation (wasting) and dementia. These elements reflect criteria for AIDS as defined by the CDC in 1993.

D015202 Protein Engineering Procedures by which protein structure and function are changed or created in vitro by altering existing or synthesizing new structural genes that direct the synthesis of proteins with sought-after properties. Such procedures may include the design of MOLECULAR MODELS of proteins using COMPUTER GRAPHICS or other molecular modeling techniques; site-specific mutagenesis (MUTAGENESIS, SITE-SPECIFIC) of existing genes; and DIRECTED MOLECULAR EVOLUTION techniques to create new genes.
