- MVA-B poxviral vectors that may increase the magnitude, amplitude, polyfunctionality and durability of immune responses against HIV-1 antigens are necessary and desirable. This is particularly relevant when a single immunogen is desirable for mass vaccination purposes to simplify immunization protocols and reduce manufacturing costs.
- Poxviral vectors express numerous genes encoding immunomodulatory proteins that interfere with the host's anti-viral response (Alcam ⁇ , 2003. Nat. Rev. Immunol. 3: 36-50). Therefore, deletion in the MVA-B poxviral vector of vaccinia genes that are known or suggest that they may have an immunomodulatory function is a general strategy that can increase the immunogenicity of the vector against HIV-1 antigens.

- the C6L gene See SEQ ID No: 1.474 nucleotides, positions 19068-19541 in the MVA genome
- the deletion of the C6L gene in MVA-B includes positions 19068 to 19541 of the MVA genome.
- the MVA-B AC6L recombinant virus obtained was grown in DF-1 cells to obtain a viral preparation called P2, which was grown in chicken embryonic cells (CEF), and purified by centrifugation through two sucrose mattresses at 36% (w / v) in 10 mM Tris-HCI pH 9, as previously described (Ram ⁇ rez et al., 2000. J Virol, 74 (2): 923-933.
- MVA-B AC6L was titled DF-1 cells by an immunostaining assay, using a rabbit polyclonal antibody against the WR vaccinia strain (National Center for Biotechnology; 1: 1000) followed by anti-rabbit-HRP (Sigma; 1: 1000), as It has been previously described (Antoine et al., 1998. Virology 244: 365-396).
- the preparation of MVA-B AC6L is free of mycoplasmas or bacteria.
- plasmid pGem-RG- C6L wm (or a similar one containing the left and right flanks of the C6L gene) can be used by a technology similar to that proposed here to delegate the C6L gene on any recombinant MVA virus that expresses other heterologous antigens other than the one presented here (HIV subtype B), such as antigens of malaria, leishmania, hepatitis C virus, prostate cancer, etc; in order to be able to be used as vaccines against these diseases.
- HAV subtype B heterologous antigens of malaria
- leishmania hepatitis C virus
- prostate cancer etc.
- MVA-B AC6L deletion mutant demonstrates that C6 protein is not essential for MVA replication.
- C6L deletion alters virus replication the growth of MVA-B AC6L and MVA-B in DF-1 cells was compared. Viral kinetics studies revealed that the deletion of C6L in the MVA-B genome does not affect viral replication. Therefore, C6L is not essential for viral propagation in cell cultures ( Figure 1 D).
- MVA-B AC6L is an attenuated virus that does not replicate in mammalian cells ( Figure 1 E).
- the open reading frame (ORF) of C6 (MVA gene 019L, 157 aa, 18.2 kDa. See SEQ ID No: 1) was amplified by PCR using the C6L-Nhel-F oligonucleotides (SEQ ID No: 13) (comprising the Nhel) and C6L-BamHI-R restriction site (SEQ ID No: 14) (comprising the BamHI restriction site), and the MVA DNA as a template.
- the amplified product (Nucleotides 19068-19541 in the MVA genome. 488 bp) was digested with Nhel and BamHI and cloned into plasmid pET-27b (+) (Novagen).
- the ligation product was used to transform E.coli strain BL21, and the plasmid of a positive kanamycin resistant colony was sequenced to confirm that it contains the C6L gene sequence.
- the plasmid generated was called pET-27b-C6L (5837 bp).
- Plasmid pET-27b (+) provides a tail of 6 histidines at the carboxy terminal end of the C6 protein, generating a recombinant C6 protein of about 24 kDa.
- Kanamycin-resistant colonies were grown in Luria broth medium to an optical density of 0.5 to 595 nm. IPTG was added (0.5 mM) and the culture was grown for 4 more hours.
- the cells were centrifuged and for cell lysis the cells were resuspended in 50 mM Tris-HCI, pH 7.5, 0.3 M NaCI, 8 M Urea, and incubated with lysozyme (1 mg / ml) for 30 minutes in the presence of phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride (1 mM).
- the suspension was frozen-thawed twice, the cell debris was removed by centrifugation and the supernatant was incubated with Probound resin (Invitrogen). Elution was carried out with different concentrations of imidazole (100 to 500 mM) in 50 mM Tris-HCI, pH 7.5, 0.3 M NaCI.
- the eluted fractions were grouped, loaded into desalted columns following the manufacturer's instructions (GE-Healthcare, Freiburg, Germany), and were collected.
- the protein was quantified using the Bradford assay, fractionated by 12% SDS-PAGE and analyzed by Western blot using an anti-His tag antibody (1: 5000) to detect the presence of vaccinia C6 protein.
- Fractions containing C6 protein (with an estimated purity of 90%) were stored in aliquots at -20 ° C.
- the C6 protein (1 150 g) was injected into "New Zealand White” rabbits to produce anti-C6 serum and anti-C6 rabbit polyclonal antibodies (Biomedal Laboratories, Seville).
- Example 5 C6 is expressed early in a viral infection.
- C6 The intracellular location of the C6 protein was examined by immunofluorescence in DF-1 cells infected with different strains of vaccinia (Figure 2C).
- C6 was detected in the cytoplasm, presumably in viral factories, of DF-1 cells infected with WR, MVA and MVA-B, but not with MVA-B AC6L.
- the reduced fluorescence intensity of C6 indicates the expression of low protein levels compared to the late A27 protein.
- Example 6.- MVA-B AC6L increases IFN- ⁇ expression in human macrophages and dendritic cells.
- MVA-B AC6L was a more potent inducer than MVA and MVA-B at low infective doses (0.002 PFU / ml, Figure 3B).
- MVA-B AC6L stimulates the release to the medium by moDCs of higher levels of IFN- ⁇ ( Figure 3C) and IFN type I than MVA and MVA-B ( Figure 3D).
- Example 7 MVA-B AC6L induces phosphorylation of IRF3 in THP-1 cells.
- Example 8.- MVA-B AC6L increases the magnitude and polyfunctionality of the response of specific memory T cells against HIV-1.
- IFN- ⁇ ELISPOT revealed that, compared to MVA-B, MVA-B AC6L increased the response of specific IFN- ⁇ secreting memory T cells against the Gag-B peptide of HIV-1 by 2.1 times (p ⁇ 0.005) (an HIV-1 peptide representative of the Gag antigen) ( Figure 7A). MVA, used as a control, did not induce any specific HIV-1 memory response.
- the phenotype of HIV-1-specific memory T cells induced after immunization with DNA-B / MVA-B and DNA-B / MVA-B AC6L was characterized by polychromatic flow cytometry using ICS.
- Splenic CD4 + and CD8 + T cells were co-stained for surface markers CD44 and CD62L in order to define the different memory sub-populations: naive (CD447CD62L + ), "central memory” (CM: CD44 + / CD62L + ), "effector memory” (EM: CD44 + / CD62L " ) and” effector terminal memory differentiated "(TEMRA: CD447CD62L " ).
- IFN- ⁇ and IL-2 were also evaluated after in vitro stimulation with different "poles" of HIV-1 peptides (Env-pool, Gag-pool and GPN-pool) that cover the entire HIV sequences -1 present in the poxviral vector (Figure 7B).
- DNA-B / MVA-B AC6L increased the polyfunctionality of specific CD4 + and CD8 + T memory cells against HIV-1, consisting of cells that produce both IFN- ⁇ and IL-2 [CD4 + T cells: 34 % in DNA-B / MVA-B AC6L vs. 16% in DNA-B / MVA-B, (p ⁇ 0.005); CD8 + T cells: 29% in DNA-B / MVA-B AC6L vs. 16% in DNA-B / MVA-B, (p ⁇ 0.005)] ( Figure 8).
- DNA-B / MVA-B AC6L significantly increases the magnitude and polyfunctionality of the response of specific CD4 + and CD8 + T memory cells against HIV-1, with the majority of the response mediated by EM and TEMRA T cells.
- DNA-B / MVA-B and DNA-B / MVA-B AC6L After vaccination with DNA-B / MVA-B and DNA-B / MVA-B AC6L, the responses of specific CD4 + T memory cells against HIV-1 were preferentially specific against Env.
- DNA-B / MVA-B AC6L induced immunodominance against specific CD8 + T memory cells against GPN, while DNA-B / MVA-B preferentially induced specific CD8 + T memory cells against Env and Gag.
