Cellular immunogenicity of human papillomavirus vaccines Cervarix and Gardasil in adults with HIV infection.

ABSTRACT: Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is a frequent cause of malignant and non-malignant disease, in particular among persons with HIV. HPV serotype-specific anti L1 antibodies protect against HPV infection but little is known about prophylactic HPV vaccine-induced cell-mediated immunity against HPV in high-risk individuals. We recently showed that both HPV vaccines (Gardasil® and Cervarix®) induce solid, serological immune responses in HIV-infected persons. This study aimed to characterize HPV-specific CD4 T cells in HIV-infected HPV-vaccine recipients, T cell responses being critical for B cell activation and antibody-isotype switching. Thirty HIV-infected patients on long-term antiretroviral treatment (ART) received 3 doses of either Cervarix (n = 15) or Gardasil (n = 15) vaccine at month 0, 1.5 and 6. Cryopreserved peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from baseline, 7 and 12 months were subjected to 24-hour stimulation with specific pools of HPV L1-peptides (HPV6, 11, 16, 18, 31 and 45) and HPV E6/E7-peptide pools (HPV6/11 and HPV16/18). Fluorescence-activated cell sorting with intracellular staining (IC-FACS) against CD4, CD154, IL-2, and IFN? was performed. Frequencies (%) of HPV-antigen specific CD4+ T cells (CD154+/IL-2+ or CD154+/ IFN?+) were determined. Both HPV-vaccines significantly and comparably enhanced cell-mediated vaccine L1 antigen-specific immunity in HIV-positive adults receiving ART therapy at month 7 and 12 after first vaccine dose. This suggests that the vaccines induce CD4 T cellular memory despite HIV-induced immune compromisation.

Project description:BackgroundThe current generation of Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines, Cervarix® and Gardasil®, exhibit a high degree of efficacy in clinical trials against the two high-risk (HR) genotypes represented in the vaccines (HPV16 and HPV18). High levels of neutralizing antibodies are elicited against the vaccine types, consistent with preclinical data showing that neutralizing antibodies can mediate type-specific protection in the absence of other immune effectors. The vaccines also confer protection against some closely related non-vaccine HR HPV types, although the vaccines appear to differ in their degree of cross-protection. The mechanism of vaccine-induced cross-protection is unknown. This study sought to compare the breadth and magnitudes of neutralizing antibodies against non-vaccine types elicited by both vaccines and establish whether such antibodies could be detected in the genital secretions of vaccinated individuals.Methods and findingsSerum and genital samples were collected from 12-15 year old girls following vaccination with either Cervarix® (n = 96) or Gardasil® (n = 102) HPV vaccine. Serum-neutralizing antibody responses against non-vaccine HPV types were broader and of higher magnitude in the Cervarix®, compared to the Gardasil®, vaccinated individuals. Levels of neutralizing and binding antibodies in genital secretions were closely associated with those found in the serum (r = 0.869), with Cervarix® having a median 2.5 (inter-quartile range, 1.7-3.5) fold higher geometric mean HPV-specific IgG ratio in serum and genital samples than Gardasil® (p = 0.0047). There was a strong positive association between cross-neutralizing antibody seropositivity and available HPV vaccine trial efficacy data against non-vaccine types.ConclusionsThese data demonstrate for the first time that cross-neutralizing antibodies can be detected at the genital site of infection and support the possibility that cross-neutralizing antibodies play a role in the cross-protection against HPV infection and disease that has been reported for the current HPV vaccines.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov NCT00956553.
