Synopsis Models of Protection Against HIV/SIV by : Gianfranco Pancino
A successful vaccine for the prevention and/or immunotherapy against HIV/AIDS is one of the prominent challenges of the 21st century. To date, all human vaccine trials against this virus/disease have resulted in failure, or at best have shown very low efficacy. The scientific community dealing with HIV/AIDS has unanimously proposed a focus on basic science, with the intention of identifying correlates of protection that can serve as guides in developing and evaluating vaccine preparation. However, Nature seems to have already found several ways of dealing with infections by HIV and related primate lentiviruses, either by resisting infection or, once infected, avoiding immune damage and immunodeficiency. Models of Protection Against HIV/SIV will allow for an in-depth reflection on the perspectives for vaccine and therapy research derived from important recent studies. It will be authored by some of the most well known specialists in the field of HIV resistance/protection: including F. Barré-Sinoussi (2008 Nobel Prize for Medicine winner), B. Walker, S. Rowland-Jones, A. Telenti, M. Lederman and F. Plummer. This book is structured in a unique way, looking at three models of resistance/protection separately and then comparing the models against one another to provide its readership with a detailed examination of the research that is most predominant in the search for a vaccine. This structure presents the information in an easy-to-understand format and gives the book a cross-discipline appeal -- an important reference for those in the scientific community, medical care, public health and academia alike. Provides extensive descriptions and comparisons on the different models of protection agains HIV/AIDS Comprehensive writing and illustrations Contributors are among the most eminent specialists in the field

Synopsis Cellular Responses to Aids-Virus Infection by : John Loffredo
In 2007, approximately 33 million people were living with HIV/AIDS worldwide, while an estimated 2.5 million new infections occurred and 2.1 million AIDS-related deaths. With >95% of new infections occurring in low and middle income countries with limited access to antiretroviral therapy, the development of a prophylactic HIV vaccine remains one of the world's top public health priorities. Many studies illustrate the important role of CD8+ T lymphocytes, also known as cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL), in controlling HIV and simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) replication. However, the correlates of immune protection remain unknown. The SIV-infected rhesus macaque is the most widely used animal model for studying HIV infection. We enhanced the utility of this model by evaluating the breadth of novel, SIV-specific CTL responses in infected macaques. We then examined the antiviral efficacy of these SIV-specific CTL using a novel viral suppression assay. This information may be important in determining the type of CTL epitopes to be targeted in future HIV vaccines. This research should be especially useful for those studying cellular immune responses against AIDS-virus infection.

Synopsis Experimental Animal Models of Human Diseases by : Bartholomew Ibeh
The world has recorded losses in terms of human life as well as extensive time spent in experimentation with development of new drugs, elucidation of disease mechanism(s), and therapeutic agent discovery. Ethical and legal issues cojoin in slowing down scientific discoveries in medicine and biology. The past two (2) decades, therefore, have seen tremendous attempts that largely are successful in developing animal models with the characteristics of mimicking, approximating, or expressing transplanted human organs/tissues. These models or rather approaches seem to be fast, cost-effective, and easy to maintain compared to primates. This book is a collection of expert essays on animal models of human diseases of global interest. A visible objective of the book is to provide real-time experimental approach to scientists, clinicians, ethicists, medicolegal/medical jurisprudence workers, immunologists, postgraduate students, and vaccinologists and informative and multidisciplinary approach for the identification of new therapeutic targets and biomarkers using animal models as well as investigating the pathogenesis and therapeutic strategies of human diseases. An increased understanding of the genetic, molecular, and cellular mechanisms responsible for the development of human diseases has laid out the foundation for the development of rational therapies mainly with animal models.

Synopsis HIV-1 Latency by : Guido Silvestri
This volume summarizes recent advances in understanding the mechanisms of HIV-1 latency, in characterizing residual viral reservoirs, and in developing targeted interventions to reduce HIV-1 persistence during antiretroviral therapy. Specific chapters address the molecular mechanisms that govern and regulate HIV-1 transcription and latency; assays and technical approaches to quantify viral reservoirs in humans and animal models; the complex interchange between viral reservoirs and the host immune system; computational strategies to model viral reservoir dynamics; and the development of therapeutic approaches that target viral reservoir cells. With contributions from an interdisciplinary group of investigators that cover a broad spectrum of subjects, from molecular virology to proof-of-principle clinical trials, this book is a valuable resource for basic scientists, translational investigators, infectious-disease physicians, individuals living with HIV/AIDS and the general public.

Synopsis Shots in the Dark by : Jon Cohen
In 1984 it was announced that an AIDS vaccine would be ready for testing in two years. More than 15 years later only one vaccine has made it to a field trial. This text explains the reasons for this slow progress.
