The LTK63 adjuvant improves protection conferred by Ag85B DNA-protein prime-boosting vaccination against Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection by dampening IFN-γ response
چکیده انگلیسی

T helper type-1 response is essential to control Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) infection but excessive antigen-mediated inflammation concurs to pathology. In mice challenged with MTB, the protection elicited by an Ag85B-encoding DNA vaccine, was lost when mice were boosted with Ag85B-protein in the absence of adjuvant. This effect was due to the expansion of a set of IFN-γ secreting-CD4+ T cells highly responsive to Ag85B-protein but which lost the ability to interact with MTB-infected macrophages and control MTB growth. Ag85B-protein co-administration with the adjuvant LTK63 reduced the expansion of Ag85B-protein-responding CD4+ T cells and allowed the survival of those protective Ag85B-specific CD4+ T cells induced by the Ag85B-encoding DNA vaccine. Consequently, the protection against MTB-infection was restored. LTK63 caused also a marked augmentation of Ag85B-specific antibodies, in particular those belonging to the IgG2b isotype. The recovery of protection through a down-modulation of antigen-specific IFN-γ response by an adjuvant is a novel finding which could be of relevance in tuberculosis vaccination.
