New vaccine stops AIDS in chimps
Jonas Salk says approach could wipe out virus after infection
MONTREAL (AP) — A vaccine
developed by polio pioneer Jonas
Salk may help wipe out the AIDS vi
rus in people already infected and
stop them from getting the deadly
disease, according to preliminary re
search presented Thursday.
“It is becoming clear that a diag
nosis of HIV positivity need not be
regarded as a death sentence,’’ Salk
said.
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.
The other chimp was given virus
