Single-dose, virus-vectored vaccine protection against Yersinia pestis challenge: CD4+ cells are required at the time of challenge for optimal protection

Abstract: We have developed an experimental recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) vectored plague vaccine expressing a secreted form of Yersinia pestis LcrV protein from the first position of the VSV genome. This vector, given intramuscularly in a single dose, induced high-level antibody titers to LcrV and gave 90-100% protection against pneumonic plague challenge in mice. This single-dose protection was significantly better than that generated by VSV expressing the non-secreted LcrV protein. Increased protection… Show more

“…It encodes five structural proteins: nucleocapsid (N), phosphoprotein (P), matrix (M), glycoprotein (G), and RNAdependent RNA polymerase (L). VSV-based vectors expressing appropriate foreign antigens have been shown to be highly effective vaccines against numerous viral and bacterial pathogens (2,10,15,16,18,(27)(28)(29)32). We constructed live attenuated or single-cycle recombinant VSVs (lacking VSV G) expressing either NiV G or F. All vectors induced neutralizing antibodies to NiV pseudotypes.…”

“…STAT4-deficient mice lack the capacity to mount robust type 1 immune responses, and our recent studies indicate that the protection mediated by F1-and LcrV-specific antibody benefits from gamma interferon (IFN-ā„) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-ā£), cytokine products of type 1 immunity (21). Chattopadhyay et al recently demonstrated that protection conferred by immunizing mice with an LcrVexpressing viral vector benefits from the presence of CD4 T cells at the time of challenge (6). Together, these observations raise the possibility that high-titer antibody may not suffice to protect humans from pneumonic plague and suggest that vaccines harnessing both humoral and cellular defense mechanisms should provide superior defense (38,39).…”

“…Thus, T cells appear to enhance the protective impact of prophylactic CpG ODN treatment. Prior studies have shown that T cells can contribute to protection against Y. pestis infection (9,38,(54)(55)(56)(57)(58).…”
