Does not yet alter HIV prevention practice; leaves open optimal polyvalent envelope combinations for broad-efficacy trials.
A polyvalent cocktail approach to HIV vaccines may be necessary to overcome viral diversity and elicit broad B- and T-cell immune responses.
Slobod et al. (2005) conducted a review in HIV. Cocktail of envelope glycoprotein antigens (polyvalent vaccines) vs. Single-envelope glycoprotein vaccines was evaluated. Overcoming HIV diversity is likely to require the administration of a cocktail of envelope glycoprotein antigens to elicit a broad immune response capable of recognizing diverse HIV-1 isolates.
