The recombinant Mycobacterium bovis BCG (rBCG) vector-based vaccine secreting the V3 principal neutralizing epitope of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) Japanese strain was reported to induce both humoral and cellular immune responses effectively [Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA. 92 (1995) 10693]. The antigen-secreting rBCG system was applied to the V3 epitope of clade E HIV-1 in this study. The V3 sequence of 19 amino acids (aa) and 15aa fused with mycobacterial alpha-antigen was not secreted while 12aa and 11aa sequences were successfully secreted from BCG cells. Serum IgG from guinea pig which was immunized with 12aa epitope-secreting recombinant BCG neutralized the WHO reference strain as well as primary field isolates of clade E virus. The serum IgG could also neutralize Thai B (clade B') strains which possessed a conserved GPGQ motif in their V3 sequences. These data suggest that the rBCG construct secreting the 12aa epitope is implicated in the development of a prophylactic vaccine in Thailand in which both clade E and B' viruses are prevalent.
