Abstract:

This contract involves clinical research of vaccine studies on Chimpanzees. Twelve chimpanzees housed in the LEMSIP facility are assigned to this project involving research on HIV vaccine efficacy. These animals are part of a dynamic pool whereby chimpanzees are used and replaced as needed and they do not represent the specific animals that will eventually be selected for vaccine study. Since the inception of the contract on 20 Nov 91, the available animals have not been subjected to any studies by the Department of Defense as outline in the contract proposal hence there is no scientific progress to report regarding HIV vaccine evaluation.
