Anti-?4?7 monoclonal antibody-conjugated nanoparticles block integrin ?4?7 on intravaginal T cells in rhesus macaques.


ABSTRACT: Intravenous administration of anti-?4?7 monoclonal antibody in macaques decreases simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) vaginal infection and reduces gut SIV loads. Because of potential side effects of systemic administration, a prophylactic strategy based on mucosal administration of anti-?4?7 antibody may be safer and more effective. With this in mind, we developed a novel intravaginal formulation consisting of anti-?4?7 monoclonal antibody-conjugated nanoparticles (NPs) loaded in a 1% hydroxyethylcellulose (HEC) gel (NP-?4?7 gel). When intravaginally administered as a single dose in a rhesus macaque model, the formulation preferentially bound to CD4+ or CD3+ T cells expressing high levels of ?4?7, and occupied ~40% of ?4?7 expressed by these subsets and ~25% of all cells expressing ?4?7 Blocking of the ?4?7 was restricted to the vaginal tract without any changes detected systemically.
