Abstract

In July 1997 the Division of AIDS of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases sponsored a workshop entitled "Use of the FTV/Cat Model for Development of Anti-HIV Vaccines and Therapeutics." The purpose of this workshop was to provide a forum for presenting new data arising from FIV research, assess the utility of the FTV/cat model, identify areas applicable to HTV/AIDS research, and solicit input from investigators on scientific gaps that can benefit from additional support.* The meeting brought to the fore numerous areas where the FTV/cat model can serve as a valuable tool for developing new therapeutic strategies and vaccine designs applicable to the treatment and prevention of HIV-1 infection.
