Recombinant Vaccinia DIs Expressing Simian Immunodeficiency Virus Gag and Pol in Mammalian Cells Induces Efficient Cellular Immunity as a Safe Immunodeficiency Virus Vaccine Candidate

Abstract: A highly attenuated vaccinia virus substrain of Dairen‐I (DIs) shows promise as a candidate vector for eliciting positive immunity against immune deficiency virus. DIs was randomly obtained by serial 1‐day egg passages of a chorioarantoic membrane‐adapted Dairen strain (DIE), resulting in substantial genomic deletion, including various genes regulating the virus‐host‐range. To investigate the impact of that deletion and of the subsequent insertion of a foreign gene into that region of DIs on the ability of the… Show more

“…Insertion of HIV-1 Gag gene in the deleted region of DIs induced high levels of cytotoxic T lymphocytes in immunized mice [263]. Furthermore, a recombinant VACV DIs expressing simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) Gag and Pol antigens induces SIV-specific cellular and humoral immuneresponsesin mice [264,265] or immunized non-human primates [266,267]. These results suggest that recombinant VACV DIs is a safe, efficient, transient replication-deficient viral vector, which can be used in a vaccine regimen for HIV-1 vaccine development.…”

“…Similar to NYVAC, Dairen-I has served as a useful vector in the development of vaccines against mycobacterium, HIV, SARS and other pathogens. [78][79][80] A variety of other attenuated vaccinia virus strains have been created through the selected deletion or alteration of host range genes, virulence factors and immunomodulatory genes. [81][82][83][84][85][86][87] These recombinant vaccinia strains have been shown to grow to lower titers in various organs, and/or exhibit less toxicity and morbidity in immunocompromised animal models.…”

“…The first step was to assess whether intradermal injection of rDIsSIV gag induces Gag‐specific IFN‐γ‐producing CD8 + T cells in mucosal and systemic tissues. Although the BCG vector itself non‐specifically enhances the levels of some cytokines [33], the DIs empty vector and rDIsLacZ scarcely stimulated IFN‐γ‐production, and the number of IFN‐γ SFC per 10 6 cells was less than 32 in intradermally injected mice [14] and intramuscularly injected non‐human primates [12] in our previous studies. Moreover, the calculated number of Gag‐specific IFN‐γ SFC from naive mice was < 15 per 10 6 CD8 + T cells.…”

“…The replication‐deficient vaccinia virus, DIs, is a candidate viral vector; and it is a safe and highly attenuated mutant of the vaccinia virus [6–9]. When recombinant DIs (rDIs) encoding foreign antigens (Ag) was intravenously [9, 10], intramuscularly [11, 12], subcutaneously [13], or intradermally [14] injected, Ag‐specific systemic immunity was induced in mice and non‐human primates.…”
