Salk’s approach is one of several newly reported developments that experts say raises hopes that an AIDS vaccine is possible, if still far away. If the vaccine works as Salk hopes, it will stimulate the body to hunt down its own blood cells that carry HIV, the AIDS virus. Such cells are virus-making factories inside the body, and wiping them out could hold the virus in check, preventing it from spreading and causing AIDS. Whether the vaccine will actually work this way is still unclear. Al though it has been tested in people, the best evidence of its potential power comes from experiments on chimpanzees, the only animal be sides people that can be infected with the AIDS virus. Experts caution that much more work will be necessary in both ani mals and people before anyone knows whether the vaccine will save lives. However, Dr. Dani P. Bolognesi of Duke University, a top U.S. AIDS vaccine researcher, said the new work is promising, in part because it suggests that an effective vaccine can be made for treatment after AIDS infection — something many experts had doubted. “This suggests it is possible to deal with the virus in already-infected in dividuals,” he said. While cautioning that this and ii It is becoming clear that a diagnosis of HIV positivity need not be regarded as a death sentence.” — Jonas Salk, AIDS researcher for the first time after vaccination. While this animal got infected, the level of virus in its body has been steadily dropping instead of rising, as usually happens. Gibbs described these results as “very startling” and said, “We don’t want to raise false hopes. But these studies are increasing our under standing about what is necessary for a vaccine for HIV-infected human beings.” Salk said that creating an AIDS vaccine is much more difficult than a polio vaccine, which he developed in the 1950s. And while he would not predict when an AIDS vaccine might be available, he commented, “Thert is light at the other end of the tun nel. We hope to move in that dim tion as quickly as possible.” In human studies conducted mi! Dr. Sandra Levine of the Univenm of Southern California, the vacant was given in November 1987 to 1: people with pre-AIDS disease. She said they have not progressed to AIDS, and skin tests suggest lit vaccine has stimulated their bodie to produce microbe-fighting blood cells against the virus. However, there is no clear evidence that tlie level of virus in their bodies has fallen. other animal studies need to be con firmed, he added, “They are the be ginnings, I believe, of piercing the armor that has existed that it would be impossible to protect against this class of virus.” The latest vaccine studies were de scribed at the week-long 5th Inter national Conference on AIDS. Salk’s animal studies, conducted with Dr. Clarence Gibbs of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, were performed on three chimps. Two of them had already been in fected with HIV when they received the vaccine. After three injections, all measurable signs of the virus dis appeared. And when scientists gave them more virus, they did not be come reinfected.
