Immunization and challenge scheme for rhesus monkeys in the three different groups: Control-group, FA-group and DC-group where monkeys were either mock-vaccinated or immunized with the HIV-1 envelope peptide-cocktail delivered to rhesus macaques using either the Freund’s adjuvant or autologous DC, respectively. Adult female rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta) of Indian-origin between the ages of 8-17 years from the specific pathogen-free breeding colony were uniformly distributed in the three study groups.
