The lymphocyte proliferative responses were studied of 12 volunteers enrolled in a phase I trial of a baculovirus-expressed recombinant human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) envelope glycoprotein (rgp160) vaccine. Six subjects received rgp160 and three subjects each received recombinant hepatitis B vaccine or placebo at 0, 1, and 6 months. rgp160 and a control preparation, baculovirus-expressed recombinant HIV-1 p24, were used as in vitro antigens. At day 56, all rgp160 recipients had stimulation indexes (rgp160/rp24) greater than 3.0, and five of six had differences in counts per minute (cpm) greater than 1000. Stimulation indexes were less than 2.0 and cpm differences were less than 150 in all six who did not receive rgp160. Lymphocyte proliferative responses were first noted 2 weeks to 5 months before initial Western blot reactivity and persisted for greater than or equal to 540 days, even among subjects who lost detectable antibody. Thus, the HIV-1 rgp160 vaccine induces persistent cellular immune recognition as demonstrated by lymphocyte proliferation.
