    Abstract:
    We report the safety and immunogenicity results of a double-blind adjuvant controlled trial of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) immunogen. Healthy, asymptomatic HIV-1-seropositive individuals received either three 100 microgram doses of the inactivated HIV-1 antigen in incomplete Freund's adjuvant (IFA) or three doses of IFA alone. The results of this study show that this HIV-1 immunogen is safe, with mild and transient adverse events. No difference in the number or type of adverse events was noted between the treatment groups. Rises in HIV-1-specific humoral and cell-mediated immune (CMI) responses were also noted, favoring the HIV-1 immunogen-treated group. The results of this study confirm and extend the safety and immunogenicity profile of this HIV-1 immunotherapeutic agent. The observation that this treatment can augment HIV-1-specific CMI is encouraging because this immunological marker may represent a key surrogate end point in HIV-1 infection and disease.
