|
CD40 ligand (CD40L), a member of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) superfamily (TNFSF), is one candidate adjuvant, but it has been difficult to use because it is normally expressed as a trimeric membrane molecule.

Fusion with the body of Acrp30 was used to produce the 2-trimer form, and fusion with the body of surfactant protein D was used to produce the 4-trimer form.

|
These CD40L-augmented DNA vaccines elicited strong CD8(+) T-cell responses but did not elicit significant CD4(+) T-cell or antibody responses.
|
11 |
16439533
|
To test the applicability of the multimeric fusion protein approach to other TNFSFs, a 4-trimer construct for the ligand of glucocorticoid-induced TNF family-related receptor (GITR) was also prepared.

However, in the absence of danger, such as during the clearance of apoptotic cells, defense collagens such as C1q, MBL, ficolins, SP-A, SP-D and even adiponectin have all been shown to facilitate enhanced phagocytosis and modulate induction of cytokines towards an anti-inflammatory profile.

Recently, we determined that the minor pulmonary surfactant phospholipid, palmitoyl-oleoyl-phosphatidylglycerol (POPG), could markedly attenuate inflammatory responses induced by lipopolysaccharide through direct interactions with the Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) interacting proteins CD14 and MD-2.

CD14 and TLR4 have been implicated in the host response to RSV.

|
Administration of POPG to mice, concomitant with viral infection, almost completely eliminated the recovery of virus from the lungs at 3 and 5 days after infection, and abrogated IFN-gamma (IFN-gamma) production and the enhanced expression of surfactant protein D (SP-D).

Vaccination with a fusion protein that introduces HIV-1 gag antigen into a multitrimer CD40L construct results in enhanced CD8+ T cell responses and protection from viral challenge by vaccinia-gag.
|

|
CD40 ligand (CD40L, CD154) is a membrane protein that is important for the activation of dendritic cells (DCs) and DC-induced CD8(+) T cell responses.
|
20 |
24227853
|
To be active, CD40L must cluster CD40 receptors on responding cells.
|
21 |
24227853
|
To produce a soluble form of CD40L that clusters CD40 receptors necessitates the use of a multitrimer construct.

|
With this in mind, a tripartite fusion protein was made from surfactant protein D (SPD), HIV-1 Gag as a test antigen, and CD40L, where SPD serves as a scaffold for the multitrimer protein complex.
|
23 |
24227853
|
This SPD-Gag-CD40L protein activated CD40-bearing cells and bone marrow-derived DCs in vitro.

|
Compared to a plasmid for Gag antigen alone (pGag), DNA vaccination of mice with pSPD-Gag-CD40L induced an increased number of Gag-specific CD8(+) T cells with increased avidity for major histocompatibility complex class I-restricted Gag peptide and improved vaccine-induced protection from challenge by vaccinia-Gag virus.
|
25 |
24227853
|
This plasmid, pTrimer-Gag-CD40L, was only weakly active on CD40-bearing cells and did not elicit strong CD8(+) T cell responses or improve protection from vaccinia-Gag challenge.
|
26 |
24227853
|
Overall, these results show the potential of a new vaccine design in which antigen is introduced into a construct that expresses a multitrimer soluble form of CD40L, leading to strongly protective CD8(+) T cell responses.

These data support a model where DNA vaccination with SPD-gp100-CD40L targets gp100 to DC in situ, induces activation of these DC, and generates a protective anti-tumor response when given in combination with IL-12p70 and GM-CSF plasmids.
