Activation of antigen-specific T-lymphocyte responses may be needed to cure disorders caused by chronic infection with low-risk human papillomavirus (lrHPV). Safe and effective adjuvant therapies for such disorders are needed. The safety and efficacy of a novel gorilla adenovirus vaccine expressing a protein designed to elicit immune responses directed against HPV6 and HPV11, PRGN-2012, was studied using in vitro stimulation of T lymphocytes from patients with recurrent respiratory papillomatosis, in vivo vaccination studies, and therapeutic studies in mice bearing tumors expressing lrHPV antigen. PRGN-2012 treatment induces lrHPV antigen-specific responses in patient T lymphocytes. Vaccination of wild-type mice induces E6-specific T-lymphocyte responses without toxicity. In vivo therapeutic vaccination of mice bearing established HPV6 E6 expressing tumors results in HPV6 E6-specific CD8+ T-lymphocyte immunity of sufficient magnitude to induce tumor growth delay. The clinical study of PRGN-2012 in patients with disorders caused by chronic infection with lrHPV is warranted.
激活抗原特异性T淋巴细胞反应可能是治愈由低风险人乳头瘤病毒(lrHPV)慢性感染引起的疾病所必需的。对于此类疾病,需要安全有效的辅助治疗方法。我们使用来自复发性呼吸道乳头瘤病患者的T淋巴细胞进行体外刺激、体内疫苗接种研究以及对表达lrHPV抗原的肿瘤小鼠进行治疗研究,来研究一种新型大猩猩腺病毒疫苗PRGN - 2012的安全性和有效性,该疫苗表达一种旨在引发针对HPV6和HPV11免疫反应的蛋白质。PRGN - 2012治疗可在患者T淋巴细胞中诱导lrHPV抗原特异性反应。对野生型小鼠进行疫苗接种可诱导E6特异性T淋巴细胞反应且无毒性。对已建立表达HPV6 E6肿瘤的小鼠进行体内治疗性疫苗接种可产生足够强度的HPV6 E6特异性CD8 + T淋巴细胞免疫,从而诱导肿瘤生长延迟。有必要对PRGN - 2012在由lrHPV慢性感染引起疾病的患者中进行临床研究。
