TL;DR
Immunization with subunit antigens prevents rectal transmission of SIV in monkeys and reduces the chance of infection with SIV by up to 70% in mice and humans.
Abstract
Immunization with subunit antigens prevents rectal transmission of SIV in monkeys (pages 767–775).

Immunology and MicrobiologyMedicine
Nature MedicineProtective mucosal immunity elicited by targeted iliac lymph node immunization with a subunit SIV envelope and core vaccine in macaques
295 Citations1996Thomas Lehner, Yufei Wang +12 more
Protection in macaques immunized with a recombinant SIV envelope gp120 and core p27 vaccine was associated with significant increase in the iliac lymph nodes of lgA antibody–secreting cells to p27 and the chemokines RANTES and MIP–1β.
Journal of VirologyInter- and intraclade neutralization of human immunodeficiency virus type 1: genetic clades do not correspond to neutralization serotypes but partially correspond to gp120 antigenic serotypes
228 Citations1996John P. Moore, Yaming Cao +4 more
It is observed that inter- and intraclade neutralization of primary isolates by HIV-1-positive sera is generally weak and sporadic; some sera show a reasonable degree of neutralization breadth and potency whereas others are relatively sensitive to neutralization, but no consistent pattern was found.
The Journal of ImmunologyCD8+ T cells inhibit HIV replication in naturally infected CD4+ T cells. Evidence for a soluble inhibitor.
195 Citations1990Jan E. Brinchmann, G Gaudernack +1 more
Results suggest that activated CD8+ T cells secrete a soluble inhibitor of HIV replication, and this effect was not dependent on direct cell-cell contact.
AIDST-cell proliferation to subinfectious SIV correlates with lack of infection after challenge of macaques
121 Citations1994Mario Clerici, Edward A. Clark +7 more
The inability to productively infect macaques previously exposed to subinfectious doses of SIV suggests that a T-cell-mediated response may confer long-term protection against infection, and that AIDS vaccines should be designed to optimize the cellular arm of the immune response.
The Journal of ImmunologyAntiviral cytotoxic T lymphocytes in vaginal mucosa of simian immunodeficiency virus-infected rhesus macaques
117 Citations1995Barbara L. Lohman, C. J. Miller +1 more
The results provide the first demonstration that antiviral CTL are present in the vaginal epithelium, and suggest that a vaccine may be able to generate anti-HIV CTL in the genital mucosa.
Journal of Medical PrimatologyMechanism of genital transmission of SIV: A hypothesis based on transmission studies and the location of SIV in the genital tract of chronically infected female rhesus macaques
115 Citations1992Christopher J. Miller, Nancy J. Alexander +3 more
Inoculation of cell-free SIV into the blind vaginal pouch of hysterectomized macaques resulted in systemic infection and a hypothesis is proposed to explain the early events in the genital transmission of SIV.
The LancetIntrarectal challenge of macaques vaccinated with formalin-inactivated simian immunodeficiency virus
82 Citations1992Martin Cranage, A. Baskerville +8 more
Preliminary data indicate that vaccinated animals make a local antibody response to SIV, and proviral DNA could not be detected in peripheral blood mononuclear cells from the vaccinated animals.
PubMedSecretory immune responses in mouse vaginal fluid after pelvic, parenteral or vaginal immunization.
81 Citations1990Manjula Thapar, Earl L. Parr +1 more
The results suggest that non-mucosal, pelvic immunization is particularly effective in stimulating IgA responses in the female reproductive tract, consistent with the possibility that the iliac lymph nodes may play a role in the development of IgA responds in the reproductive tract.
AIDS Research and Human RetrovirusesSuppression of Activation of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus Long Terminal Repeat by CD8 <sup>+</sup> T Cells Is Not Lentivirus Specific
74 Citations1995Karen F.T. Copeland, Paula J. McKay +1 more
The inhibitory nature of CD8+ T lymphocytes appears not to be specific to lentiviral promoters and may mediate an inhibitory effect via the NF kappa B element.
VirologyFetal or Neonatal Infection with Attenuated Simian Immunodeficiency Virus Results in Protective Immunity against Oral Challenge with Pathogenic SIVmac251
43 Citations1996M Otsyula, Christopher J. Miller +6 more
It is demonstrated that SIV can be transmitted orally in 6- to 17-month-old rhesus monkeys and that this immunity is sufficient to provide some protection from pathogenic virus challenge.
