Enhanced immunogenicity of an HIV-1 DNA vaccine delivered with electroporation via combined intramuscular and intradermal routes
, Journal of Virology, Vol: 88, Pages: 6959-6969, ISSN: 1098-5514It is accepted that an effective prophylactic HIV-1 vaccine is likely to have the greatest impact on viral transmission rates. As previous reports have implicated DNA-priming, protein boost regimens to be efficient activators of humoral responses, we sought to optimize this regimen to further augment vaccine immunogenicity. Here we evaluated single versus concurrent intradermal (i.d.) and intramuscular (i.m.) vaccinations as a DNA-priming strategy for their abilities to elicit humoral and cellular responses against a model HIV-1 vaccine antigen, CN54-gp140. To further augment vaccine-elicited T and B cell responses, we enhanced cellular transfection with electroporation and then boosted the DNA-primed responses with homologous protein delivered subcutaneously (s.c.), intranasally (i.n.), i.m., or transcutaneously (t.c.). In mice, the concurrent priming regimen resulted in significantly elevated gamma interferon T cell responses and high-avidity antigen-specific IgG B cell responses, a hallmark of B cell maturation. Protein boosting of the concurrent DNA strategy further enhanced IgG concentrations but had little impact on T cell reactivity. Interestingly protein boosting by the subcutaneous route increased antibody avidity to a greater extent than protein boosting by either the i.m., i.n., or t.c. route, suggesting that this route may be preferential for driving B cell maturation. Using an alternative and larger animal model, the rabbit, we found the concurrent DNA-priming strategy followed by s.c. protein boosting to again be capable of eliciting high-avidity humoral responses and to also be able to neutralize HIV-1 pseudoviruses from diverse clades (clades A, B, and C). Taken together, we show that concurrent multiple-route DNA vaccinations induce strong cellular immunity, in addition to potent and high-avidity humoral immune responses.

Glucopyranosyl lipid A adjuvant significantly enhances HIV specific T and B cell responses elicited by a DNA-MVA-protein vaccine regimen
, PLOS One, Vol: 9, ISSN: 1932-6203Using a unique vaccine antigen matched and single HIV Clade C approach we have assessed the immunogenicity of a DNApoxvirus-proteinstrategy in mice and rabbits, administering MVA and protein immunizations either sequentially orsimultaneously and in the presence of a novel TLR4 adjuvant, GLA-AF. Mice were vaccinated with combinations of HIV env/gag-pol-nef plasmid DNA followed by MVA-C (HIV env/gag-pol-nef) with HIV CN54gp140 protein (+/2GLA-AF adjuvant) andeither co-administered in different muscles of the same animal with MVA-C or given sequentially at 3-week intervals. TheDNA prime established a population of B cells that were able to mount a statistically significant anamnestic response to theboost vaccines. The greatest antigen-specific antibody response was observed in animals that received all vaccinecomponents. Moreover, a high proportion of the total mucosal IgG (20 – 50%) present in the vaginal vault of thesevaccinated animals was vaccine antigen-specific. The potent elicitation of antigen-specific immune responses to this vaccinemodality was also confirmed in rabbits. Importantly, co-administration of MVA-C with the GLA-AF adjuvanted HIVCN54gp140 protein significantly augmented the antigen-specific T cell responses to the Gag antigen, a transgene productexpressed by the MVA-C vector in a separate quadriceps muscle. We have demonstrated that co-administration of MVA andGLA-AF adjuvanted HIV CN54gp140 protein was equally effective in the generation of humoral responses as a sequentialvaccination modality thus shortening and simplifying the immunization schedule. In addition, a significant further benefit ofthe condensed vaccination regime was that T cell responses to proteins expressed by the MVA-C were potently enhanced,an effect that was likely due to enhanced immunostimulation in the presence of systemic GLA-AF.
