Project description:While immune checkpoint blockade results in durable responses for some patients, many others have not experienced such benefits. These treatments rely upon reinvigorating specific T cell-antigen interactions. However, it is often not known what antigens are being recognized by T cells, or how to potently induce antigen-specific responses in a broadly applicable manner. Here, we characterized the CD8+ T cell response to a murine model of melanoma following combination immunotherapy to determine the basis of tumor recognition. Sequencing of tumor-infiltrating T cells revealed a repertoire of highly homologous TCR sequences that were particularly expanded in treated mice and which recognized an antigen from murine leukemia virus, an endogenous retrovirus. While vaccination against this peptide failed to raise a protective T cell response in vivo, engineered antigen mimotopes induced a significant expansion of CD8+ T cells cross-reactive to the original antigen. Vaccination with mimotopes resulted in killing of antigen-loaded cells in vivo yet failed to delay tumor growth in a prophylactic vaccine paradigm. Together, this work demonstrates the identification of a dominant tumor-associated antigen and mimotopes that are highly cross-reactive to the endogenous antigen across multiple individuals.

Project description:Transcriptional profiling of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from 30 subjects collected at day 0, day 1 and day 3 post yellow fever (YF) vaccination. Each patient sample is performed in duplicate to reduce the chance of error. Briefly, the project investigates how cross-reactive JE antibodies that are generated from prior vaccination can influence YF live-attenuated vaccine (LAV). The groups are hence segregated based on the YF antibody titers after 1 month vaccination. Group 4 refers to the control group where individuals received only the YF LAV. Enhancing group refers to the treatment group (given JE followed by YF vaccine), where individuals had YF antibody titers higher than 99% confidence interval of the YF antibody titers of the control group. Non-enhancing group, on the other hand, refers to the treatment group where individuals had YF antibody titers within or lower 99% confidence interval of the control group. Our present study provides evidence that enhancing levels of cross-reactive antibodies from prior Japanese encephalitis (JE) vaccination can improve subsequent YF immunogenicity. These microarray results indicate the genes and gene signatures that are associated with the differences in YF immunogenicity.

Project description:Epitope mapping studies aim to identify the binding sites of antibody-antigen interactions to enhance the development of vaccines, diagnostics and immunotherapeutic compounds. However, mapping is a laborious process employing time- and resource-consuming ‘wet bench’ techniques or epitope prediction software that are still in their infancy. For polymorphic antigens, another challenge is characterizing cross-reactivity between epitopes, teasing out distinctions between broadly cross-reactive responses, limited cross-reactions among variants and the truly type-specific responses. A refined understanding of cross-reactive antibody binding could guide the selection of the most informative subsets of variants for diagnostics and multivalent subunit vaccines. We explored the antibody binding reactivity of sera from human patients and Peromyscus leucopus rodents infected with Borrelia burgdorferi to the polymorphic outer surface protein C (OspC), an attractive candidate antigen for vaccine and improved diagnostics for Lyme disease. We constructed a protein microarray displaying 23 natural variants of OspC and quantified the degree of cross-reactive antibody binding between all pairs of variants, using Pearson correlation calculated on the reactivity values using three independent transforms of the raw data: (1) logarithmic, (2) rank, and (3) binary indicators. We observed that the global amino acid sequence identity between OspC pairs was a poor predictor of cross-reactive antibody binding. Then we asked if specific regions of the protein would better explain the observed cross-reactive binding and performed in silico screening of the linear sequence and 3-dimensional structure of OspC. This analysis pointed to the C-terminal helix of the structure as a major determinant of type-specific cross-reactive antibody binding. We developed bioinformatics methods to systematically analyze the relationship between local sequence/structure variation and cross-reactive antibody binding patterns among variants of a polymorphic antigen, and this method can be applied to other polymorphic antigens for which immune response data is available for multiple variants.

Project description:Currently available COVID-19 vaccines include inactivated virus, live attenuated virus, mRNA-based, viral vectored and adjuvanted protein-subunit-based vaccines. All of them contain the spike glycoprotein as the main immunogen and result in reduced disease severity upon SARS-CoV-2 infection. While we and others have shown that mRNA-based vaccination reactivates pre-existing, cross-reactive immunity, the effect of vector vaccines in this regard is unknown. Here, we studied cellular and humoral responses in heterologous adenovirus-vector-based ChAdOx1 nCOV-19 (AZ; Vaxzeria, AstraZeneca) and mRNA-based BNT162b2 (BNT; Comirnaty, BioNTech/Pfizer) vaccination and compared it to a homologous BNT vaccination regimen. AZ primary vaccination did not lead to measurable reactivation of cross-reactive cellular and humoral immunity compared to BNT primary vaccination. Moreover, humoral immunity induced by primary vaccination with AZ displayed differences in linear spike peptide epitope coverage and a lack of anti-S2 IgG antibodies. Contrary to primary AZ vaccination, secondary vaccination with BNT reactivated pre-existing, cross-reactive immunity, comparable to homologous primary and secondary mRNA vaccination. While induced anti-S1 IgG antibody titers were higher after heterologous vaccination, induced CD4+ T cell responses were highest in homologous vaccinated. However, the overall TCR repertoire breadth was comparable between heterologous AZ-BNT-vaccinated and homologous BNT-BNT-vaccinated individuals, matching TCR repertoire breadths after SARS-CoV-2 infection, too. The reasons why AZ and BNT primary vaccination elicits different immune response patterns to essentially the same antigen, and the associated benefits and risks, need further investigation to inform vaccine and vaccination schedule development.

Antibody profiling was performed on sera from Borrelia burgdorferi infected and non-infected humans and Peromyscus leucopus rodents against 23 variants of the surface protein OspC . For infected human serum samples, the OspC type of the infecting B. burgdorferi strain is unknown; for experimentally-infected P. leucopus serum samples, it is known. Of human serum samples, 55 were from infected individuals and 25 from naive controls. Of P. leucopus serum samples, 23 were from infected individuals and 7 were from naive controls.

Project description:Aberrant CD4+ T cell reactivity against intestinal microbes is considered to drive mucosal inflammation in inflammatory bowel diseases. The disease-relevant microbial species and the corresponding microbe-specific pathogenic T cell phenotypes remain unknown. Here, we identify common gut commensal and food-derived yeasts, as direct activators of aberrant CD4+ T cell reactions in patients with Crohn´s disease (CD). Yeast-responsive CD4+ T cells in CD display a cytotoxic Th1 phenotype and selective clonal expansion of cells highly cross-reactive to several commensal, as well as food-derived, fungal species. This indicates cross-reactive T cell selection by repeated encounter with conserved fungal antigens in the context of chronic intestinal disease. Our results highlight a role of fungi in driving immunopathology in patients with CD and suggest that both, gut-resident fungal commensals, and daily dietary intake of yeasts, may contribute to chronic activation of pathogenic CD4+ T cell responses involved in disease pathophysiology.
