2004 MAY 5 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- Neutralizing antibodies and CD8+ T lymphocytes both contribute to immunity to adenovirus serotype 5 vaccine vectors.

According to a study from the Netherlands and the United States, "The high prevalence of pre-existing immunity to adenovirus serotype 5 (Ad5) in human populations will likely limit the immunogenicity and clinical utility of recombinant Ad5 vector-based vaccines for human immunodeficiency virus type 1 and other pathogens.

"Ad5-specific neutralizing antibodies (NAbs) are thought to contribute substantially to anti-Ad5 immunity, but the potential importance of Ad5-specific T lymphocytes in this setting has not been fully characterized. Here we assess the relative contributions of Ad5-specific humoral and cellular immune responses in blunting the immunogenicity of a rAd5-Env vaccine in mice.

"Adoptive transfer of Ad5-specific NAbs resulted in a dramatic abrogation of Env-specific immune responses following immunization with rAd5-Env," reported Shawn M. Sumida and collaborators at Harvard University in the U.S. and Crucell Holland in the Netherlands. "Interestingly, adoptive transfer of Ad5-specific CD8+ T lymphocytes also resulted in a significant and durable suppression of rAd5-Env immunogenicity. These data ...
