 AB    The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) type 1 envelope protein
       (recombinant [r] gp160)-induced T cell lymphokine release pattern of
       chimpanzees immunized with HIVIIIB rpg160 tested and compared with
       rpg160-induced lymphokine releases of T cells from unimmunized,
       HIV-1-infected chimpanzees. The results showed that infection of
       chimpanzees with HIV-1 did not induce rgp160-specific memory T cells (as
       evidenced by the lack of Th1 and 2 type lymphokine releases after rgp160
       stimulation). In contrast, T cells of rgp160-immunized chimpanzees
       released Th1 type lymphokines upon stimulation with rgp160 of HIVIIIB,
       HIVMN, and HIVRF. release was comparable whether chimpanzees were
       immunized with rgp160 only or also challenged with HIV-1 and protected
       or not protected. Thus, rgp160 immunization leads to generation of Th1
       type memory cells. Whether Th1 type responses contribute to protection
       against HIV-1 infection has yet to be clarified.
