The tegument protein pp65 of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is abundant in lytically infected human foreskin fibroblasts (HFF), as well as in virions and subviral dense bodies (DB). Despite this, we showed previously that pp65 is dispensable for growth in HFF. In the process of refining a DB-based vaccine candidate, different HCMV mutants were generated, expressing a dominant HLA-A2-presented pep...
The most abundantly produced virion protein in human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is the immunodominant phosphoprotein 65 (pp65), which is frequently included in CMV vaccines. Although it is nonessential for in vitro CMV growth, pp65 displays immunomodulatory functions that support a potential role in primary and/or persistent infection. To determine the contribution of pp65 to CMV infection and immu...
Development of vaccines against cytomegalovirus (CMV) is an important public health priority. We used a propagation-defective, single-cycle RNA replicon vector system derived from an attenuated strain of an alphavirus, Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus, to produce virus-like replicon particles (VRP) expressing various combinations of pp65, IE1, or gB proteins of human CMV. Protein expression...
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is a risk factor for acute and chronic rejection of transplanted organs. We evaluated, using immunohistochemistry, the presence of CMV pp65 matrix protein in cardiac allografts and its association with acute rejection. CMV pp65 was found in 83/88 (94%) endomyocardial biopsies obtained from 35 patients and the presence of CMV was confirmed in selected patients by ...
The efficacy of DNA vaccines may be improved by small interfering (si)RNA adjuvants targeting pro-apoptotic genes. The aim of the present study was to investigate the capacity of siRNAs targeting B-cell lymphoma 2 homologous antagonist killer (BAK) and B-cell lymphoma 2-associated X protein (BAX) to improve the efficacy of a cytomegalovirus (CMV) vaccine. BALB/c mice were divided into four grou...
The phosphoprotein pp65 (ppUL83) of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is abundantly synthesized during lytic infection in cultured fibroblasts. As a major constituent of extracellular particles, it gains entry to infected cells immediately after adsorption and subsequently translocates to the cell nucleus. This efficient transport is mediated by unique nuclear localization signals. To study the func...
Due to their potent immunostimulatory capacity, dendritic cells (DC) have become the centerpiece of many vaccine regimens. Immature DC (DCimm) capture, process, and present Ags to CD4(+) lymphocytes, which reciprocally activate DCimm through CD40, and the resulting mature DC (DCmat) loose phagocytic capacity, but acquire the ability to efficiently stimulate CD8(+) lymphocytes. Recombinant vacci...
Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) infection is well controlled mainly by cytotoxic CD8(+) T lymphocytes (CTL) directed against the matrix protein pp65 despite the numerous immune escape mechanisms developed by the virus. Dendritic cells (DCs) are key antigen-presenting cells for the generation of an immune response which have the capacity to acquire antigens via endocytosis of apoptotic cells and th...
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) reactivation can cause severe complications for transplant patients. Such patients can be protected against CMV-associated diseases through reconstitution of donor-derived CMV-reactive cytolytic and helper T cells. We have developed a strategic protocol for efficient simultaneous generation of CMV-reactive CD8+ and CD4+ T cells ex vivo. The protocol uses peripheral blood l...
Lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs) are human B cells latently infected and immortalized by Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). Presenting viral antigens, they efficiently induce EBV-specific T-cell responses in vitro. Analogous ways to generate T-cell cultures specific for other antigens of interest are highly desirable. Previously, we constructed a mini-EBV plasmid that consists of less than half the EBV ...
