The biologically active form of the human immunodeficiency virus
type 1 (HIV-1) envelope (Env) glycoprotein is oligomeric. We previously
described a soluble HIV-1 IIIB Env protein, gp140, with a stable
oligomeric structure composed of uncleaved gp120 linked to the
ectodomain of gp41 (P. L. Earl, C. C. Broder, D. Long,
S. A. Lee, J. Peterson, S. Chakrabarti, R. W. Doms, and B. Moss, J. Virol. 68:3015-3026, 1994). Here we compared the
antibody responses of rabbits to gp120 and gp140 that had been produced and purified in an identical manner. The gp140 antisera exhibited enhanced cross-reactivity with heterologous Env proteins as well as
greater neutralization of HIV-1 compared to the gp120 antisera. To
examine both immunogenicity and protective efficacy, we immunized rhesus macaques with oligomeric gp140. Strong neutralizing antibodies against a homologous virus and modest neutralization of heterologous laboratory-adapted isolates were elicited. No neutralization of primary
isolates was observed. However, a substantial fraction of the
neutralizing activity could not be blocked by a V3 loop peptide. After
intravenous challenge with simian-HIV virus SHIV-HXB2, three of the
four vaccinated macaques exhibited no evidence of virus replication.
