Heterologous Prime Boost Vaccination Induces Protective Melanoma-Specific CD8+ T Cell Responses.

ABSTRACT: Cancer vaccination aims at inducing an adaptive immune response against tumor-derived antigens. In this study, we utilize recombinant human adenovirus serotype 5 (rAd5) and recombinant lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (rLCMV)-based vectors expressing the melanocyte differentiation antigen gp100. In contrast to single or homologous vaccination, a heterologous prime boost vaccination starting with a rAd5-gp100 prime immunization followed by a rLCMV-gp100 boost injection induces a high magnitude of polyfunctional gp100-specific CD8+ T cells. Our data indicate that an optimal T cell induction is dependent on the order and interval of the vaccinations. A prophylactic prime boost vaccination with rAd5- and rLCMV-gp100 protects mice from a B16.F10 melanoma challenge. In the therapeutic setting, combination of the vaccination with low-dose cyclophosphamide showed a synergistic effect and significantly delayed tumor growth. Our findings suggest that heterologous viral vector prime boost immunizations can mediate tumor control in a mouse melanoma model.

Project description:BackgroundLeishmania (Viannia) parasites present particular challenges, as human and murine immune responses to infection are distinct from other Leishmania species, indicating a unique interaction with the host. Further, vaccination studies utilizing small animal models indicate that modalities and antigens that prevent infection by other Leishmania species are generally not protective.MethodologyUsing a newly developed mouse model of chronic L. (Viannia) panamensis infection and the heterologous DNA prime - modified vaccinia virus Ankara (MVA) boost vaccination modality, we examined whether the conserved vaccine candidate antigen tryparedoxin peroxidase (TRYP) could provide protection against infection/disease.ResultsHeterologous prime - boost (DNA/MVA) vaccination utilizing TRYP antigen can provide protection against disease caused by L. (V.) panamensis. However, protection is dependent on modulating the innate immune response using the TLR1/2 agonist Pam3CSK4 during DNA priming. Prime-boost vaccination using DNA alone fails to protect. Prior to infection protectively vaccinated mice exhibit augmented CD4 and CD8 IFNγ and memory responses as well as decreased IL-10 and IL-13 responses. IL-13 and IL-10 have been shown to be independently critical for disease in this model. CD8 T cells have an essential role in mediating host defense, as CD8 depletion reversed protection in the vaccinated mice; vaccinated mice depleted of CD4 T cells remained protected. Hence, vaccine-induced protection is dependent upon TLR1/2 activation instructing the generation of antigen specific CD8 cells and restricting IL-13 and IL-10 responses.ConclusionsGiven the general effectiveness of prime-boost vaccination, the recalcitrance of Leishmania (Viannia) to vaccine approaches effective against other species of Leishmania is again evident. However, prime-boost vaccination modality can with modulation induce protective responses, indicating that the delivery system is critical. Moreover, these results suggest that CD8 T cells should be targeted for the development of a vaccine against infection caused by Leishmania (Viannia) parasites. Further, TLR1/2 modulation may be useful in vaccines where CD8 T cell responses are critical.
