Investigation of proviral load in individuals infected with human T-lymphotropic virus type II.

abstract：:In an attempt to develop an immunization strategy to induce mucosal and circulatory antibodies against SIV antigens, we have investigated the potential of attenuated recombinant vaccinia virus to deliver SIV antigens (gp160 of SIVmac239) to mucosal surfaces of mice. After systemic or mucosal (intragastric, intranasal,...
