P18-13 LB. Immunogenicity of an autologous dendritic cell anti-HIV therapy in HIV-1 infected individuals

Background The immunogenicity of an autologous dendritic cell (DC) anti-HIV therapy, AGS-004, was evaluated in a multicenter Phase 2 trial. The treatment regiment consisted of four intradermal doses, administered monthly in combination with anti-retroviral therapy (ART) followed by a well-controlled structured treatment interruption (STI). The immunotherapy consisted of monocyte-derived DC co-electroporated with CD40L in vitro transcribed (IVT) RNA along with amplified IVT RNA encoding for 4 HIV-1 antigens (GAG, NEF, REV and VPR).
