Abstract:
|
In HIV vaccine/prevention research, finding vaccine-induced immune responses that predicts the risk of HIV infection provides valuable information for the development of vaccine regimens. Previous correlates analysis of the Thai vaccine trial discovered interesting immune correlates related to HIV infection risk. In this study, we are interested in identifying the combinations of immune responses associated with heterogeneous infection risk. We look for a "change-line" by combining subset of immune responses which separates vaccine recipients into two heterogenous subgroups in terms of the risk of infection. The resulting marker combinations will then serve as candidate correlates of protection for predicting vaccine's protective effect on HIV infection. Application of the proposed statistical approach to the Thai trial is presented, where we search for marker combinations among twenty Variable Regions 1 and 2 (V1V2) of HIV-1 gp70 scaffolded proteins.
