To develop vaccines for certain key global pathogens such as HIV, it is crucial to elicit both neutralizing and non-neutralizing Fc-mediated effector antibody functions. Clinical evidence indicates that non-neutralizing antibody functions including antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) and antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis (ADCP) contribute to protection against several pathogens. In this study, we demonstrated that conjugation of HIV Envelope (Env) antigen gp120 to a self-assembling nanofiber material named Q11 induced antibodies with higher breadth and functionality when compared to soluble gp120. Immunization with Q11-conjugated gp120 vaccine (gp120-Q11) demonstrated higher tier 1 neutralization, ADCP, and ADCC as compared to soluble gp120. Moreover, Q11 conjugation altered the Fc N-glycosylation profile of antigen-specific antibodies, leading to a phenotype associated with increased ADCC in animals immunized with gp120-Q11. Thus, this nanomaterial vaccine strategy can enhance non-neutralizing antibody functions possibly through modulation of immunoglobulin G Fc N-glycosylation.
为了开发针对 HIV 等某些关键全球病原体的疫苗,诱导体液中和及非中和 Fc 介导的效应抗体功能至关重要。临床证据表明,非中和抗体功能,包括抗体依赖的细胞毒性(ADCC)和抗体依赖的细胞吞噬作用(ADCP),有助于预防几种病原体。在这项研究中,我们证明了将 HIV 包膜(Env)抗原 gp120 与一种名为 Q11 的自组装纳米纤维材料偶联,可诱导产生比可溶性 gp120 具有更广泛和更有效的抗体。与可溶性 gp120 相比,用 Q11 偶联的 gp120 疫苗(gp120-Q11)免疫可诱导更高的 1 型中和、ADCP 和 ADCC。此外,Q11 偶联改变了抗原特异性抗体的 Fc N-糖基化谱,导致与用 gp120-Q11 免疫的动物中增强的 ADCC 相关的表型。因此,这种纳米材料疫苗策略可以通过调节免疫球蛋白 G Fc N-糖基化来增强非中和抗体功能。
