     European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - June 20, 1992, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Saturday june 20, 1992 the stars and stripes a Page 5aids vaccine Good for year in chimps Washington apr an experimental vaccine has proven in Laboratory tests on chimpanzees that it can immunize against aids infected blood cells a common pathway for spread of the disease among intravenous drug users. Chimps inoculated with the vaccine remained free of aids infection for up to a year after they were injected with contaminated blood said Patricia Fultz of the University of Alabama at Birmingham. A this proves we re on the right track a she said. Although the new test has the Promise of an aids vaccine Fultz said that much More work needs to be done before it can be tested in humans. She noted that one Chimp that was free of the human immunodeficiency virus which causes aids for a year frequent Booster immunizations May to be Given a said Fultz. A this would not be Good particularly in third world countries where it can be difficult to give  the researcher said the vaccine also needs to be tested to see if it prevents sexual transmission of aids. A we need to determine if this Type of vaccine will generate an immune response sufficient to protect against vaginal Challenge a Fultz said. A this is probably the major Mode of transmission throughout the world a heterosexual  the study which was scheduled to be published Friday in the journal science tested How effective an aids vaccine would be against a virus that is contained within blood cells. The vaccine in an earlier study was tested against free floating virus virus particles in the plasma of the blood. His is known to cause infection in both forms. A Many people Felt this was a stronger Challenge for the vaccine because infected cells have the potential of producing much More virus a said Fultz who was the Lead author of the study. The research involved three chimpanzees inoculated with a vaccine and then injected with his infect cd blood cells. Fultz said the vaccine mimics the molecules found on the outside of his and on the outside of cells that arc infected with the virus. After inoculation All three chimps were injected with doses of blood cells from a Chimp infected with aids. Researchers then tested the three chimps periodically to see if they developed an his infection. One Chimp died of heart failure not associated with aids after seven months. Tissue samples taken from this Chimp were cultured for six weeks and there was no evidence of viral infection she said. The other two chimps were found to be immune to his for 12 months. A this tells us that the vaccine candidates with which we Are working have the potential to protect against both forms of virus and that we Don t need to revise our vaccine at this Point or try additional types a Fultz said. She said that using infected blood cells is a Good test for what happens when dig users share dirty Needles. Patients with aids typically leave a residue of infected blood in a Needle. A person sharing such an in Sicri lived Needle then could put these infected blood cells into his own bloodstream possibly leading to an his infection. A primary target of the aids virus is the White blood cell or Lymphocyte that normally circulates in the blood Stream. The virus links with a molecule on the Lymphocyte surface and then moves inside the cell. The virus can also do this with macrophages another Type of blood cell. Science which planned to publish the report is the journal of the american association for the advancement of science.
