Project description:The primary objective of this study was to evaluate response to a SIV DNA-based vaccine that was adminstered via vivo electroporation (EP) in rhesus macaques to further understand the molecular correlates of protection against SIV. In this study, rhesus macaques were immunized with a DNA vaccine including individual plasmids encoding SIV gag, env, and pol alone, or in combination with a molecular adjuvant, plasmid DNA expressing the chemokine ligand 5 (RANTES), followed by EP. At eight month post-vaccination, animals were challenged with SIV. Standard immunological assays, flow-based activation analysis without ex vivo restimulation and high-throughput gene expression analysis were performed to determine the host response to each vaccine regimen. The overall study was designed to evaluate the response to a SIV-DNA vaccination administered to animals via intramuscular electroporation. Chinese rhesus macaques were divided into three treatment groups (n=6 animals per group): Control (no vaccination), DNA vaccine alone (pCSIVgag, pCSIVpol, pCSIVenv), DNA vaccine with RANTES adjuvant (pCSIVgag, pCSIVpol, pCSIVenv, pmacRANTES). Eight months following the last vaccination, animals were infected with 25 MID of SIVmac251 and response to infection was monitored. RNA for microarray analysis was isolated from fresh PBMCs that were isolated from individual animals and treated overnight with a pool of overlapping SIV pol peptides or mock treated. Samples for microarray analysis were taken longitudinally at 8 months post-vaccination (pre-SIV challenge; biological n=5-6 per group for each treatment; technical n=2 for each sample) and at day 10 post-SIV challenge (n=5-6 per group for each treatment; technical n=2 for each sample).

Project description:SIVmac239Δnef (SIVΔnef) live attenuated vaccine (LAV) induces the best protection among all the vaccine modalities tested in rhesus macaque model of HIV-1 infection. Time-dependent protection is a unique feature of this vaccine: macaques are not protected at 3-5 weeks post vaccination (WPV), whereas immune protection emerges between 15 and 20 WPV. To elucidate the protection mechanisms induced by SIVΔnef vaccine, we longitudinally compared the global gene expression profiles of SIV Gag-CM9+ CD8+ (Gag-specific CD8+) T cells from peripheral blood of Mamu-A*01 rhesus macaques at 3 and 20 WPV using rhesus microarray. We found that gene expression profiles of Gag-specific CD8+ T cells at 20 WPV are qualitatively different from those at 3 WPV. At 20 WPV, the most significant transcriptional changes of Gag-specific CD8+ T cells were genes involved in cell activation, differentiation and maturation toward central memory cells. Our study indicates that a higher quality of SIV-specific CD8+ T cells elicited by SIVΔnef over time may contribute to the maturation of time dependent protection.

Project description:Systemic vaccination with the attenuated virus SIVmac239-∆Nef provides sterilizing or partial protection to rhesus monkeys challenged with WT SIV strains, providing important opportunities to study key immunological components of a protective host response. Here we show that intravenous vaccination with SIVmac239-∆Nef provides two potentially crucial immunological barriers localized at mucosal surfaces that correlate with the vaccine’s protective effects against WT SIVmac251 vaginal challenge: 1) a conditioned and coordinated response from the mucosal epithelium that blunts the early inflammatory and chemotactic signalling cascade that aids virus propagation and expansion; 2) early on-site generation/diversification of SIV-specific Abs from ectopic germinal center-like lymphoid aggregates. This unique host response to WT SIVmac251 in the female reproductive tract of SIVmac239-∆Nef-vaccinated animals points to a multi-layered strategy for a protective host response during immunodeficiency virus exposure—rapid induction of humroal immunity at mucosal surfaces without the deleterious inflammatory side effects tied to innate recognition of virus. This vaccine-induced host response highlights potential key protective mechanisms needed for an effective HIV vaccine

Project description:The Canarypox/gp120/Alum vaccines decreased the risk of HIV acquisition in humans. We demonstrate here the efficacy of this vaccine regimen also in the SIVmac251 macaque model when we used the alum but not the MF59 adjuvant. Analysis of innate and adaptive cell responses, envelope antibodies Fc profiles and glycoforms demonstrated a lower inflammatory response with alum than MF59. Alum elicited mucosal V2 peptide-specific IgG associated with vaccine efficacy whereas the MF59 induced mucosal V2 peptide-specific IgG associated with increased risk of infection. Alum modulated the expression of 12 genes, 7 of which are part of the RAS pathway, that correlates with vaccine efficacy and were linked to innate responses that preserve mucosal integrity and adaptive mucosal antibody response to V2. Thus, activation of the RAS pathway, preservation of mucosal integrity and mucosal antibody to V2 in concert, reduce the risk of SIVmac251 acquisition. Fifty-four (54) rhesus macaques were randomized into two vaccination groups. One group (n=27) was primed twice with ALVAC-SIV (at week 0 and week 4) and boosted twice with ALVAC-SIV/gp120 in MF59 adjuvant (at week 12 and week 24). The second group (n=27) was primed twice with ALVAC-SIV (at week 0 and week 4) and boosted twice with ALVAC-SIV/gp120 in Alum adjuvant (at week 12 and week 24). Blood samples were taken pre-vaccination, 24 hours after the first prime (post-1st imunization at week 0) and 24 hours after the first boost (post-3rd immunization at week 12). All the samples were taken before SIV challenge. Blood samples were conserved in PAXgene tubes. RNA was extracted and hybridized to Illumina beadchips. technical replicate: P162_P382_post1st, P162_P382_post1st_rep1

Project description:Using whole-blood transcriptional profiling, we investigated differences in the host response to vaccination and challenge in a rhesus macaque AIDS vaccine trial. Samples were collected from animals prior to and after vaccination with live irradiated vaccine cells secreting the modified endoplasmic reticulum chaperone gp96-Ig loaded with SIV peptides, either alone or in combination with a SIV-gp120 protein boost. Additional samples were collected following multiple low-dose rectal challenge with SIVmac251. Animals in the boosted group had a 73% reduced risk of infection. Surprisingly, few changes in gene expression were observed during the vaccination phase. Focusing on post-challenge comparisons, in particular for protected animals, we identified a host response signature of protection comprised of strong interferon signaling after the first challenge, which then largely abated after further challenges. We also identified a host response signature, comprised of early macrophage-mediated inflammatory responses, in animals with undetectable viral load five days after the first challenge, but which had unusually high viral titers after subsequent challenges. Statistical analysis showed that prime-boost vaccination significantly lowered the probability of infection in a time-consistent manner throughout several challenges. Given that humoral responses in the prime-boost group were highly significant pre-challenge correlates of protection, the strong innate signaling after the first challenge suggests that interferon signaling enhances vaccine-induced antibody responses and is an important contributor to protection from infection during repeated low-dose exposure to SIV.

Project description:CD4 T cells promote innate and adaptive immune responses, but how vaccine-elicited CD4 T cells contribute to immune protection remains unclear. Here we evaluated whether induction of virus-specific CD4 T cells by vaccination would protect mice against infection with chronic lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV). Immunization with vaccines that selectively induced CD4 T cell responses resulted in catastrophic inflammation and mortality following challenge with a persistent form of LCMV. Immunopathology required antigen-specific CD4 T cells and was associated with a cytokine storm, generalized inflammation, and multi-organ system failure. Virus-specific CD8 T cells or antibodies abrogated the pathology. These data demonstrate that vaccine-elicited CD4 T cells in the absence of effective antiviral immune responses can trigger lethal immunopathology. Splenic GP66-specific CD4 T cells from mice immunized with either a LMwt vaccine (sham) or LMgp61 vaccine (CD4 vaccine) were purified by FACS on day 8 post-infection with LCMV clone 13

Given that humoral responses in the prime-boost group were highly significant pre-challenge correlates of protection, the strong innate signaling after the first challenge suggests that interferon signaling enhances vaccine-induced antibody responses and is an important contributor to protection from infection during repeated low-dose exposure to SIV. 36 Indian-origin outbred, young adult, male and female rhesus macaques divided into thre vaccination groups of 12 animals each. Groups were balanced for Mamu-A*01 (three in each group), Mamu-B*08 (one in each group), and for susceptible and resistant TRIM5α alleles. There were no Mamu-B*17+ animals. The prime group (PG) received Gp96 SIV Ig vaccine 292 cells that were transfected with plasmids encoding gp96-Ig, SIVmac251 rev-tat-nef, Gag and gp160 (35). They were injected intraperitoneally with 107 irradiated gp96SIVIg vaccine cells in HBSS, which secrete 10 μg of gp96SIVIg per 24 h. For the prime-boost group (PBG), 100 g of rSIVgp120 protein was added to the vaccine cells. The control group received 292-gp96 Ig cells not transfected with SIV antigens. After a 32-week vaccination phase, which consisted of priming in weeks 0, 6, and 25 and (for the PBG only) additional boosts in weeks 6 and 25, all animals were subject to up to seven weekly low-dose intrarectal challenges starting at 33-week with SIVmac251 at a dosage of 120 TCID50. Whenever an animal had detectable viral load (>50 copies/ml of plasma) at 5 days post challenge, it was considered viremic, further challenges were suspended, and only viral load screening continued on a weekly basis. Whole blood samples (preserved in PAXgene tubes) were collected 2 weeks prior to the first prime, 1 week after the first prime, 2 weeks before and 1 week after the third prime, 1 week before the first challenge, for newly infected animals five days into the corresponding study week and from viremic animals four days into the study week (also denoted as challenge 2 and challenge 3). Total RNA was isolated from Paxgene tubes using Paxgene Blood RNeasy Mini Kits (Qiagen) following the manufacturer’s protocol. RNA quality was assessed on an Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer using the nanochip format, and only intact RNA was used for microarray analyses.

Project description:Compared to intramuscular vaccines, nasally administered vaccines have the advantage of inducing local mucosal immune responses that may block infection and interrupt transmission of respiratory pathogens1. Live attenuated influenza vaccine (LAIV) is commonly used in children2, but its effectiveness declines with age3. This may be attributed to the gradual accumulation of homo- or hetero-subtypic immunity that blocks vaccine replication necessary to induce protective responses3, 4. Despite its demonstrable efficacy against influenza in children, correlates of protection for LAIV remain elusive5. Studying young adult volunteers we found that LAIV induced distinct, compartmentalized, antibody responses in the mucosa and blood. LAIV also induced mucosal IL-33 release in the first 8 hours post-inoculation and distinct CD8+ and cTfh T cell activation profiles. Mucosal antibodies are induced separately from blood antibodies and may provide a simple and novel correlate of protection for mucosal vaccination.

Project description:Tuberculosis (TB) is the leading cause of death due to a single infectious agent. The development of a TB vaccine that induces durable and effective immunity to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection is urgently needed. Complete and early Mtb control can be induced in M. bovis Bacillus Calmette–Guérin (BCG) vaccinated hosts when the innate immune response is targeted to generate effective vaccine-induced immunity. In the present study, we show that the superior and early Mtb control that is mediated by innate activation of DCs is associated with mucosal localization of clonal activated vaccine-induced CD4+ T cells in the lung. Our studies also show that the lung epithelial cell signaling through the activation of nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NFKB pathway is critical for the mucosal localization of activated vaccine-induced CD4+ T cells for rapid Mtb control. Thus, our study provides novel insights into the immune mechanisms that can overcome TB vaccine bottlenecks and provide early rapid Mtb control.
