A Phase 1 Safety and Immunogenicity Study of the Pharmexa-Epimmune HIV-1 CTL Epitope-Based DNA Vaccine (EP HIV-1090) Administered Using a Biojector 2000 Needle Free Immunization Device in HIV-1 Infected Individuals Receiving Potent Combination Antiretroviral Therapy (ART)

The use of a Bioject 2000 needle free injection device (NFID) and a compressed immunization schedule will be safely tolerated and will augment the immunogenicity of the HIV-1 CTL epitope DNA vaccine (EP1090) in HIV-1 infected individuals receiving potent combination antiretroviral therapy (ART) and who have undetectable levels of viral replication in plasma.

Abstract:

In virus models explored in detail in mice, CTL typically focus on a few immunodominant determinants. In this study we use a multipronged approach to understand the diversity of CTL responses to vaccinia virus, a prototypic poxvirus with a genome ∼20-fold larger than that of the model RNA viruses typically studied in mice. Based on predictive computational algorithms for peptide binding to HLA supertypes, we synthesized a panel of 2889 peptides to begin to create an immunomic map of human CTL responses to poxviruses. Using this panel in conjunction with CTLs from vaccinia virus-infected HLA transgenic mice, we identified 14 HLA-A*0201-, 4 HLA-A*1101-, and 3 HLA-B*0702-restricted CD8+ T cell determinants distributed over 20 distinct proteins. These peptides were capable of binding one or multiple A2, A3, and B7 supertype molecules with affinities typical of viral determinants. Surprisingly, many of the viral proteins recognized are predicted to be late gene products, in addition to the early intermediate gene products expected. Nearly all of the determinants identified have identical counterparts encoded by modified vaccinia virus Ankara as well as variola virus, the agent of smallpox. These findings have implications for the design of new smallpox vaccines and the understanding of immune responses to large DNA viruses in general.

Classification of A1- and A24-supertype molecules by analysis of their MHC-peptide binding repertoires

4区 · 医学

Article

作者: John Sidney ; Scott Southwood ; Alessandro Sette

At the functional level, the majority of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I MHC variants can be classified into about ten different major groups, or supertypes, characterized by overlapping peptide binding motifs and repertoires. Previous studies have detailed the peptide binding specificity of the HLA A2, A3, B7, and B44 supertypes, and predicted, on the basis of MHC pocket structures, known motifs, or the sequence of T cell epitopes, the existence of the HLA A1 and A24 supertypes. Direct experimental validation of the A1 and A24 supertypes, however, has been lacking. In the current study, the peptide-binding repertoires and main anchor specificities of several common HLA A molecules (A*0101, A*2301, A*2402, A*2601, A*2902, and A*3002) predicted to be members of the A1 or A24 supertypes were analyzed and defined using single amino acid substituted peptides and a large peptide library. Based on the present findings, the A1 supertype includes A*0101, A*2601, A*2902, and A*3002, whereas the A24 supertype includes A*2301 and A*2402. Interestingly, A*2902 is associated with a motif and peptide binding repertoire that overlaps significantly with those of all of the A1- and A24-supertype molecules studied, representing-to our knowledge-the first report of significant cross-reactivity among molecules belonging to different supertypes.

Review

作者: LiCalsi, C. ; Sidney, J. ; Tangri, S. ; Sette, A.

One challenge associated with the clinical use of protein therapeutics destined for chronic administration is the potential for the development of unwanted anti-drug immune reactions. The molecular basis for this reactivity is the binding of peptide fragments (epitopes) derived from the breakdown of the protein drug to the HLA receptors expressed by the patient's immune cells. If these epitopes are recognized as "foreign" by the immune system, specific helper T lymphocytes (HTL), are activated, which initiate and direct the formation of antibodies against the protein drug. These antibodies can bind and neutralize the protein drug, resulting in either decreased efficacy or total ineffectiveness of the drug. Moreover, various safety concerns, such as allergic reactions and other adverse events, are also frequently associated with the formation of anti-drug antibodies. Herein, we describe the development of "ImmunoStealth", an integrated bioinformatics, biochemical and cellular immunology approach that specifically addresses the issue of unwanted immune responses against protein therapeutics. Unwanted HTL epitopes are identified using in silico sequence analysis methods and high throughput in vitro biochemical evaluations and thereafter confirmed using cellular immunogenicity assays. The "offending" epitopes within the drug are then rationally modified to alter their HLA binding capacity, and thus render them non-recognizable by the immune system. This technology will ultimately facilitate the design of safer, more potent and more economical drugs.
