Project description:The infrequently altered SARS-CoV-2 protein RNA dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) is a promising target for T cell-targeting mRNA vaccines. We used single cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to define the transcriptional profile and TCR repertoire of CD8+ cells in mice immunized with a mRNA vaccine encoding SARS-CoV-2.

Project description:Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) colonize the stomach epithelium of half the world's population and are responsible for a variety of digestive diseases and even stomach cancer. The protection against H. pylori infection depends primarily on the antigen-mediated mucosal and T cell responses. We hypothesized that lipopeptide vaccines obtained by covalently conjugation of Pam2Cys with strong mucosal adjuvant activity to the immunodominant epitope from protective antigens could induce protective responses against H. pylori infection. In this study, the synthetic lipopeptide vaccines, Hp4 (Pam2Cys modified UreB T cell epitope) and Hp10 (Pam2Cys modified CagA T/B cell combined epitope), induced the BMDCs maturation in vitro by activating a variety of pattern recognition receptors such as TLR, NLR and RLR. In addition, lipopeptide vaccines stimulated BMDCs to secret cytokines that have the potential to modulate T cell activation and differentiation. Although intranasal immunization with Hp4 or Hp10 elicited robust epitope-specific T cell responses in mice, only Hp10 conferred protection against H. pylori infection, possibly due to the fact that Hp10 also induced substantial specific sIgA response at mucosal sites. Interestingly, when two lipopeptide vaccines were administrated in combination, Hp4 elevated the protective response against H. pylori infection of Hp10, which was characterized by better protective effect and enhanced specific T cell and mucosal antibody responses. Our results suggest that synthetic lipopeptide vaccines based on the epitopes derived from the protective antigens are promising candidates for protection against H. pylori infection.

Project description:The immune response against tuberculosis relies, at least in part, on CD4+ T cells. Protective vaccines require the induction of antigen-specific CD4+ T cells via mycobacterial peptides presented by MHC class-II in infected macrophages. We have purified MHC class-I and MHC-II peptides and analysed them by mass spectrometry. We have successfully identified 97 mycobacterial peptides presented by MHC-II and 54 presented by MHC-I, from 76 and 41 antigens, respectively. The sequences of selected peptides were confirmed by spectral match validation and immunogenicity evaluated by IFN-gamma ELISpot against peripheral blood mononuclear cells from volunteers vaccinated with BCG, M.tb latently infected subjects or patients with tuberculosis disease. Three antigens were expressed in viral vectors, and evaluated as vaccine candidates alone or in combination in a murine aerosol M.tb challenge model. When delivered in combination, the three candidate vaccines conferred significant protection in the lungs and spleen compared with BCG alone, demonstrating proof-of-concept for this unbiased approach to identifying novel candidate antigens.

Project description:Viral vectors are renowned for their inherent adjuvant effects. We here developed cancer vaccines based on the Vesicular Stomatitis Virus (VSV) vector using two different construction strategies.The first vaccine involved the traditional method of inserting tumor antigen genes into the VSV genome (SP vaccine). The second strategy, built upon the first, additionally displayed tumor antigens on the surface of the VSV, creating particulate antigen vaccine (CAD vaccine). To compare the early immune responses induced by these two vaccine strategies, we collected blood samples for RNA sequencing analysis at 24 hours post-immunization with both vaccines and a viral vector control group. The results indicated comparable early biological processes, including antiviral and innate immune responses, among the three groups. This confirms that the vector predominantly drives the early innate immune response.

Project description:Dengue and Zika are two mosquito-borne diseases of great concern, affecting mainly the tropical and subtropical regions worldwide. The arrival of Zika virus (ZIKV) in dengue virus (DENV) endemic areas imposed challenges for differential diagnosis and the development of candidate vaccines. The use of peptides has shown great potential to achieve these goals. We aimed to identify the linear epitope profile recognized by the serum samples of dengue and Zika patients in the E and NS1 proteins of DENV and ZIKV to select peptides with the potential for the development of diagnostic tests and vaccines. Analysis of a peptide microarray platform with serum samples of dengue and Zika patients demonstrated that the epitopes were evenly distributed across the entire viral proteins, showing no preference for particular regions. However, several epitopes were within epitope hot spots constituted by clusters of peptides recognized in more than 30% of the sub-arrays analyzed with individual or pools of serum samples. The serum samples of dengue and Zika patients showed a high level of cross-reaction for epitopes in the DENV and ZIKV proteins. Analysis of an additional peptide microarray platform containing selected peptides based on the results of the first screening showed that three peptides (DENV: TQGEPSLNEEQDKRF and TQTVGPWHLGKLEID; ZIKV: LELDPPFGDSYIVIG), highly specific for their cognate viruses (p<0.05), were within the epitope hot spots; however, these peptides showed low detection rates (32.5, 35.0, and 28.6%, respectively). We also found two peptides (DENV: WEVEDYGFGVFTTNI and LELDFDLCEGTTVVV) in the epitope hot spots detected by both dengue and Zika patients with similarly high rates (arbitrary detection rate cut-off threshold of ≥40%). The epitope hot spots harbor several immunodominant epitopes recognized by a higher number of individuals when compared to the 15 aa sequence peptides. Therefore, the entire epitope hot spots, spanning up to ~30 aa, would have more potential than peptides of only 15 aa to serve as antigens in diagnostic tests and vaccine developments.

Project description:The structural integrity of vaccine antigens is critical to the generation of protective antibody responses, but the impact of protease activity on vaccination in vivo is poorly understood. We characterized protease activity in lymph nodes and found that antigens were rapidly degraded in the subcapsular sinus, paracortex, and interfollicular regions, whereas low protease activity and antigen degradation rates were detected in the vicinity of follicular dendritic cells (FDCs). Correlated with these findings, immunization regimens designed to target antigen to FDCs led to germinal centers dominantly targeting intact antigen, whereas traditional immunizations led to much weaker responses that equally targeted the intact immunogen and antigen breakdown products. Thus, spatially compartmentalized antigen proteolysis affects humoral immunity and can be exploited.

Project description:This data set reports RNA sequencing results obtained from whole cerebral cortices of NEFH-tTa/tetO-hTDP43∆NLS transgenic (“rNLS8”) mice that were actively immunized with C-terminal fragments of the human TDP-43 protein. The widely used rNLS8 mouse model overexpresses cytoplasmically mislocalized human TDP-43 in a doxycycline-inducible manner, mimicking ALS/FTD-like CNS pathology and motor dysfunction (Walker et al., 2015). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety profile and therapeutic potential of various human TDP-43 epitopes (up to approximately 40 amino acids in length) which were used as antigens for active immunization in a rapidly progressing mouse model of TDP-43 proteinopathy. To this end, we pre-screened 15 peptide antigens, collectively spanning the entire TDP-43 protein sequence, for immunogenicity and safety. Next, we repeatedly immunized “rNLS8” mice with the most promising antigens prior to transgene induction, and performed bulk RNA sequencing of the neocortex, since this region is considerably affected by TDP-43 pathology in both humans and the mouse model. We asked whether active immunization with two different peptide combinations leading to high antibody titers would affect – i.e. prevent – transcriptional alterations upon transgene induction. In summary, we provide a bulk neocortical gene expression profile of actively immunized (and mock-treated) ALS/FTD-resembling “rNLS8” mice.
