Program Description

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has a continuing requirement for Nonhuman Primate (NHP) Immunology and Virology Laboratories for AIDS Vaccines Research and Development.

BACKGROUND

The mission of the Division of AIDS (DAIDS), National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) is to ensure an end to the human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) epidemic by supporting research that can lead to the development of therapies, vaccines, and prevention strategies. Since the mid-1980 animal models have played an important role in the Institute’s efforts to achieve its mission.

Nonhuman primate (NHP) models present the opportunity to test a variety of candidate AIDS vaccines, optimizing their ability to elicit immune responses and testing their ability to prevent infection or to control virus replication after a virus challenge. NHP models can be used to optimize vaccines, to evaluate vaccine combinations, to determine vaccine delivery routes that provide immune responses at mucosal portals of entry, to find ways to generate broadly cross-reactive neutralizing antibodies, and, to determine the effectiveness of vaccines. NIAID supports NHP and small animal studies through both contract and grant mechanisms.

NIAID supports Core Laboratories that conduct immunology, virology, and transcriptomic assays in support of preclinical animal studies to ensure standardization and comparability of the assays conducted and to provide a common basis for assessment of the immunogenicity and efficacy of candidate HIV and SIV vaccines.

The current Humoral Immunology Core Laboratory provides assays to evaluate a wide range of antibody properties and functions to be able to identify immune correlates of vaccine-generated protection from virus infection and to identify vaccines and adjuvants that can generate protective antibody responses. The contract supports preclinical NHP studies conducted through the (Simian Vaccine Evaluation Unit contracts). It is also available to conduct assays in support of NHP AIDS vaccine studies conducted by non-SVEU investigators but is not intended to conduct assays for human clinical trials. It may support other NHP or other small animal studies. The contract conducts assays to assess the specificity, affinity, and breadth of antibody binding to HIV and SIV antigens and peptides. It conducts HIV, SIV, and SHIV virus neutralization assays for assessment and comparison of the breadth of virus neutralization by antibodies generated by candidate vaccines. It conducts assays to assess the maturation of antibodies in broadly neutralizing antibody lineages after priming and boosting immunizations and conducts assays to identify the target epitopes of binding or neutralizing antibodies. The contract also assesses other, Fc receptor-mediated activities of antibodies, such as antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) and antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis (ADCP).

REQUIREMENTS

The purpose of this contract is to conduct, develop, acquire, improve, and implement assays to evaluate and characterize the humoral immune responses of nonhuman primates (NHP) that have been immunized with candidate HIV or SIV vaccines or infected with SIV, SHIV, or HIV, with a focus on studies conducted by the NIAID Simian Vaccine Evaluation Units (SVEUs) and by investigators supported by or collaborating with NIH. This contract may also conduct assays to assess HIV and SIV antibodies in small laboratory animals immunized in studies preliminary to or supportive of vaccine studies conducted in NHPs. The contract may develop, optimize, and conduct humoral immunology assays for other (non-AIDS-related) infectious agents, especially emerging infectious agents that may present risks to public health

Conducting assays requested under the proposed contract in accordance with GLP standards under the direction of an institutional Quality Assurance office

Developing, reviewing, and maintaining detailed laboratory SOPs for all assays to be conducted under the proposed contract. Providing SOPs to the COR following modifications or addition of new SOPs.
