This study assessed and compared the immunogenicity of various immunization strategies in mice using combinations of recombinant DNA(pCCMp24) and recombinant attenuated vaccinia virus Tian Tan(rddVTT-CCMp24).Intramuscular immunization was performed on days 0(prime) and 21(boost).The immunogenicity of the vaccine schedules was determined by measuring human immunodeficiency virus(HIV)-specific binding antibody levels and cytokine(interleukin-2 and interleukin-4) concentrations in peripheral blood,analyzing lymphocyte proliferation capacity against HIV epitopes and CD4 + /CD8 + cell ratio,and monitoring interferon-gamma levels at different times post-immunization.The results showed that pCCMp24,rddVTT-CCMp24 and their prime-boost immunization induced humoral and cellular immune responses.The pCCMp24/rddVTT-CCMp24 immunization strategy increased CD8 + T cells and induced more IFN-γ-secreting cells compared with single-shot rDNA.The prime-boost immunization strategy also induced the generation of cellular immunological memory to HIV epitope peptides.These results demonstrated that prime-boost immunization with rDNA and rddVTT-CCMp24 had a tendency to induce greater cellular immune response than single-shot vaccinations,especially IFN-γ response,providing a basis for further studies.

Intramuscular immunization was performed on days 0 (prime) and 21 (boost). The immunogenicity of the vaccine schedules was determined by measuring human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) -specific binding antibody levels and cytokine (interleukin-2 and interleukin-4) concentrations in peripheral blood, analyzing lymphocyte proliferation capacity against HIV epitopes and CD4 + / CD8 + cell ratio, and monitoring interferon-gamma levels at different times post-immunization. The results showed that pCCMp24, rddVTT-CCMp24 and their prime-boost immunization induced humoral and cellular immune responses. pCCMp24 / rddVTT-CCMp24 immunization strategies increased CD8 + T cells and induced more IFN-γ-secreting cells compared with single-shot rDNA. The prime-boost immunization strategy also induced the genera tion of cellular immunological memory to HIV epitope peptides. the results of which demonstrate that prime-boost immunization with rDNA and rddVTT-CCMp24 had a tendency to induce greater cellular immune response than single-shot vaccinations, especially IFN-γ response, providing a basis for further studies.
