Project description:Zika virus (ZIKV) is a mosquito-transmitted positive-sense RNA virus in the family Flaviviridae. Candidate live-attenuated vaccine (LAV) viruses with engineered deletions in the 3’UTR provide immunity and protection in animal models of ZIKV infection, and phenotypic studies show that LAVs retain protective abilities following in vitro passage. The present study investigates the genetic diversity of wild-type (WT) parent ZIKV and its candidate LAVs using next generation sequencing analysis of five sequential in vitro passages. ZIKV RNA from was transfected into Vero cells, incubated for nine days, harvested, and clarified by centrifugation to generate passage 0 (P0) ZIKV infectious clones. Subsequently, P0 ZIKVs were blind-passaged into fresh cultures to generate P1, then serially through P5. P1-P5 stocks were harvested from cell media at 4-5 days post-infection. ZIKV RNA from 3’UTR deletion mutants were transfected into Vero cells, incubated for nine days, harvested, and clarified by centrifugation to generate passage 0 (P0) ZIKV infectious clones. Subsequently, P0 ZIKVs were blind-passaged into fresh cultures to generate P1, then serially through P5. P1-P5 stocks were harvested from cell media at 4-5 days post-infection. Genetic diversity of the viruses were assessed by evaluating both the variability (or uncertainty) at each nucleotide position was determined using Shannon entropy calculations and identified single nucleotide variants (SNVs). The results showed both the parental WT and LAV derivatives increase in genetic diversity with evidence of adaptation following passage.

Project description:Enteric fever is a major public health problem and causes numerous deaths annually. Ty21a is the only efficacious oral, live attenuated typhoid vaccine currently licensed for use, however, its mechanism of protection is poorly understood. To address this knowledge gap, we interrogated transcriptional profiles following vaccination with Ty21a and an immunogenic experimental oral live attenuated vaccine, M01ZH09, and related these findings to immunogenicity, and incubation period and disease severity following challenge with Salmonella Typhi four weeks after vaccination. Despite originating from the same parent strain (Ty2), we detected marked differences in the gene expression between both vaccines. Analysis of the transcriptome 7 days after M01ZH09 vaccination implicated transcriptional patterns associated with the cell cycle correlated significantly with humoral immunogenicity 28 days after vaccination. In contrast, significantly induced T and NK cell responses were associated with Ty21a vaccination, and integrative analysis indicated signatures reflecting amino acid metabolism with delayed onset of disease. Stimulation of PBMCs collected from participants prior to and following vaccination with the two vaccine strains in vitro confirmed the superior capacity of Ty21a to induce NK cells, validating gene expression results. These data provide insight into the effects of oral live attenuated typhoid vaccines on the human molecular immune response and underline the involvement of T cell response signatures with protection following challenge.

Project description:Zika virus (ZIKV) is a mosquito-transmitted positive-sense RNA virus in the family Flaviviridae. Live attenuated vaccines have been successfully used to combat infection by flaviviruses, such as yellow fever and Japanese encephalitis viruses. A Zika virus harboring combined mutations in the envelope protein glycosylation site and in the nonstructural 4B protein amino acid 36 (ZE4B-36) was generated and assessed for stability, attenuation, and protection against infection. To determine the genetic stability of its RNA genome, ZE4B-36 was serially passaged in vitro in Vero cells. Virus harvested from passages (P)1 to P6 was subjected to next generation sequencing and downstream analysis to determine its nucleotide sequence variability. Specifically, single nucleotide variant analysis showed that the ZE4B-36 genome decreased its genetic diversity and resulted in a more stable nucleotide sequence. Thus, in addition to showing attenuation and protection, ZE4B-36 is a stable live attenuated virus that possesses characteristics important for a vaccine to combat Zika disease.

Project description:Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) is a deadly coronavirus for neonatal piglets and no effective vaccines are available. Transcriptional regulatory sequences (TRSs) are critical in regulating coronavirus discontinuous transcription. Also, TRSs contribute to a high recombination rate of coronaviruses, leading to difficulty in developing safe live vaccines. We hypothesize that recoding the TRS core sequences (TRS-CS) of PEDV can make the recombination impossible between the engineered vaccine virus and field strains or wildtype viruses. We used an infectious clone-derived reporter PEDV, dORF3-EGFP, as the backbone to generate a remodeled TRS (RMT) mutant that carries the recoded leader and body TRS-CSs. The RMT and dORF3-EGFP showed comparable replication efficiency in Vero cells. However, the incompatibility between the rewired and wildtype TRS-CSs led to few EGFP in RMT-infected cells. Furthermore, RMT and dORF3-EGFP had a similar attenuated phenotype, replication efficiency, and protective immunogenicity in neonatal pigs. RNA sequencing analysis indicated that EGFP transcription directed by the heterogenous TRS-CSs was significantly reduced to an extremely low level. Meanwhile, recombinant viruses were not detected in Vero cells and in pigs that were co-infected with RMT and a PEDV S-INDEL strain, Iowa106. In vitro and in vivo passaging of the RMT did not result in reversion mutations in the rewired TRS-CSs, introduced gaps, and disrupted wildtype TRSs. In summary, the RMT mutant was resistant to recombination and genetically stable and can be further optimized (e.g., deletion of the EGFP) to serve as a platform to develop safe PEDV live attenuated vaccines.

Project description:Influenza B virus (IBV) is considered a major respiratory pathogen responsible for seasonal respiratory disease in humans, particularly severe in children and the elderly. Seasonal influenza vaccination is considered the most efficient strategy to prevent and control IBV infections. Live attenuated influenza virus vaccines (LAIVs) are thought to induce both humoral and cellular immune responses by mimicking a natural infection, but their effectiveness have recently come into question. Thus, the opportunity exists to find alternative approaches to improve overall influenza vaccine effectiveness. Two alternative IBV backbones were developed with re-arranged genomes, re-arranged M (FluB-RAM) and a re-arranged NS (FluB-RANS). Both re-arranged viruses showed temperature sensitivity in vitro compared to the WT type B/Bris strain, were genetically stable over multiple passages in embryonated chicken eggs and were attenuated in vivo in mice. In a prime-boost regime in naïve mice, both re-arranged viruses induced antibodies against HA with hemagglutination inhibition titers considered of protective value. In addition, antibodies against NA and NP were readily detected with potential protective value. Upon lethal IBV challenge, mice previously vaccinated with either FluB-RAM or FluB-RANS were completely protected against clinical disease and mortality. In conclusion, genome re-arrangement renders efficacious LAIV candidates to protect mice against IBV.

Project description:Influenza B virus (FLUBV) is a major respiratory pathogen of humans. Seasonal influenza vaccines include either one or both FLUBV lineage strains, Victoria, and Yamagata. Vaccine mismatch occurs frequently, particularly in countries where vaccines contain only one of the lineages. We have previously described the safety and efficacy of modified live attenuated FLUBV vaccines based on either virus with rearranged genomes (FluB-RAM and FluB-RANS) or carrying a PB1 segment with a combination of temperature sensitive mutations and a C-terminal HA tag (FluB-att). We compared side by side the immunological responses in female and male DBA/2J mice vaccinated with either one of these vaccines and those with isogenic backgrounds encoding a chimeric HA segment carrying an N-terminal peptide encoding the IgA inducing peptide (IGIP). Recombinant viruses with or without the IGIP modification were genetically stable over multiple passages in eggs. In mice, introduction of IGIP improved attenuation of the vaccine candidates, particularly for the FluB-RAM/IGIP compared with the non-IGIP FluB-RAM counterpart. In a prime-boost regime, mice were completely protected against lethal challenge with a homologous FLUBV strain. Recombinant viruses induced antibodies against HA considered of protective value. Antibodies against NA and NP were readily detected. Compared to male mice and regardless of the vaccine used, female mice showed a clear trend towards enhanced humoral and cross-reactive IgG and IgA anti-HA responses as well as against NA and NP. The presence of IGIP in the vaccine resulted in an overall trend towards reduced anti-HA responses but enhanced anti-NA and anti-NP responses, particularly of the IgA isotype. Mucosal and serological responses two weeks after challenge showed similar trends with clear differences observed based on sex, vaccine backbone, and whether the vaccine carried the IGIP modification. These findings are significant for the development of universal influenza vaccines.

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:Zika virus (ZIKV) is a mosquito-transmitted positive-sense RNA virus in the family Flaviviridae. Candidate live-attenuated vaccine (LAV) viruses with engineered deletions in the 3' untranslated region (UTR) provide immunity and protection in animal models of ZIKV infection, and phenotypic studies show that LAVs retain protective abilities following in vitro passage. The present study investigated the genetic diversity of wild-type (WT) parent ZIKV and its candidate LAVs using next generation sequencing analysis of five sequential in vitro passages. The results show that genomic entropy of WT ZIKV steadily increases during in vitro passage, whereas that of LAVs also increased by passage number five but was variable throughout passaging. Additionally, clusters of single nucleotide variants (SNVs) were found to be present in the pre-membrane/membrane (prM), envelope (E), nonstructural protein NS1 (NS1), and other nonstructural protein genes, depending on the specific deletion, whereas in the parent WT ZIKV, they are more abundant in prM and NS1. Ultimately, both the parental WT and LAV derivatives increase in genetic diversity, with evidence of adaptation following passage.
