Here, we conduct dose-response studies in mice for the elicitation of CD8 T cells by a DNA vaccine that expresses HIV Gag. For DNA doses ranging from 1 to 100 microg, the studies revealed greater than 10-fold increases in anti-Gag CD8 T cells following a DNA prime or a DNA prime and a constant modified vaccinia Ankara (MVA) boost. These results are in contrast to dose-response studies for MVA vectors expressing Gag, where only 2-3-fold increases in anti-Gag CD8 T cells were elicited by 100-fold increases in dose
