DNA vaccine was not toxic for laboratory animals in acute toxicity experiments and corresponded to the 5th class of practically non-toxic substances. Lethal doses LD50, LF16 and LD84 were impossible to estimate. The highest administered doses were 4 orders of magnitude higher than the proposed immunization dose. DNA vaccine had no allergenicity. DNA vaccine was not toxic after chronic administration in rats and dogs. DNA vaccine had no pyrogenic effect. Results Of Preclinical Trials Of The Candidate DNA Vaccine

Summary • The candidate DNA vaccine consisting of four plasmids containing modified fragments of four subtype A HIV-1 genes (env, gag, pol, and nef) of was constructed. • Chromatographically purified DNA vaccine preparation meets all FDA и EMEA criteria for purity. • Increase of HIV-1 proteins expression in eucaryotic cells 293T after gene modification was achieved. • The preclinical studies of the candidate DNA vaccine preparations performed on laboratory animals demonstrated no toxicity and allergenicity. • Efficient stimulation of vaccine specific CTL, CD8+ IFNγ+ lymphocytes and induction of Th1 response were observed after the i.m. immunization.
