Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) subtype C is the predominant HIV in southern Africa, and is the target of a number of recent vaccine candidates. It has been proposed that a heterologous prime/boost vaccination strategy may result in stronger, broader and more prolonged immune responses. Since HIV-1 Gag Pr55 polyprotein can assemble into virus-like particles (VLPs) which have been shown to induce a strong cellular immune response in animals, we showed that a typical southern African subtype C Pr55 protein expressed in insect cells via recombinant baculovirus could form VLPs. We then used the baculovirus-produced VLPs as a boost to a subtype C HIV-1 gag DNA prime vaccination in mice. This study shows that a low dose of HIV-1 subtype C Gag VLPs can significantly boost the immune response to a single subtype C gag DNA inoculation in mice. These results suggest a possible vaccination regimen for humans.

Rat minute virus type 1 (RMV-1) was identified in laboratory rats. In this study, an ELISA using a recombinant capsid protein (rVP2) of RMV-1 was developed to diagnose RMV infections. The developed RMV-1 rVP2 ELISA exhibited a sensitivity of 97.5% and a specificity of 100%, and was more sensitive and specific in detecting RMV-1 infection than the ELISA using a recombinant minute virus of mice non-structural protein as antigen.
