A detailed explanation is given showing the control strategy; this allows: (i) balanced output-voltages and currents, despite the unbalanced input-voltages; (ii) output-voltages' amplitudes and frequency control. Simulation results are exhibited showing the appropriateness of the proposition.

In the present study, we have investigated the effects of IL-12 in mice when it is expressed in a DNA prime/VV boost vaccine regimen. The delivery of IL-12 and Env product during priming with a DNA vector, followed by a booster with VV expressing the Env gene (rVVenv), was found to trigger the optimal CMI response compared with other immunization schedules studied. Significantly, if IL-12 is also delivered as a booster from the viral vector, an impairment of the effects of IL-12 was observed involving nitric oxide (NO), since it was overcome by specific inhibitors of inducible NO synthase. NO caused transient immunosuppression rather than impairment of viral replication. Moreover, at certain viral doses, coadministration of the NO inhibitor during the booster resulted in IL-12-mediated enhancement of the specific CD8(+) T-cell response. In addition, the dose of the IL-12-encoding plasmid (pIL-12) and the route of administration of both vectors were relevant factors for optimal CMI responses. Maximal numbers of Env-specific CD8(+) gamma interferon-secreting cells were obtained when 50 microg of pIL-12 was administered intramuscularly at priming, followed by an intravenous rVVenv boost. Our results demonstrate, in a murine model, critical parameters affecting the success of vaccination schedules based on a combination of DNA and VV vectors in conjunction with immunomodulators.
