Main findings

Franchini, G

1995

USA

in vivo

New Zealand White rabbits

attenuated poxvirus vaccine vectors (ALVAC and NYVAC) with the use of Gp63

\(10^7\) plaque-forming units [PFU]

IM

2 immunizations were performed with 1 month interval

IFA, PCR, syncytia inhibition assay

The results indicated that two inoculations of the ALVAC-based HTLV-1 env vaccine candidate protected animals against viral challenge 5 months following the last immunization

recombinant surface glycoprotein (gp46) attached to the Fc region of human IgG (sRgp46-Fc

soluble recombinant surface glycoprotein (gp46, SU) fused to the Fc region of human IgG (sRgp46-Fc)

ELISA, Western blot, Syncytium interference assay, Flow cytometry,

High titer Ab responses/ Many of these mAbs recognize envelope displayed on the surface of HTLV-1–infected cells / mAbs robustly antagonize envelope-mediated membrane fusion and neutralize pseudovirus infectivity/ Potent neutralizing mAbs recognize the N-terminal receptor-binding domain / Both neutralizing and poorly neutralizing Abs strongly stimulate neutrophil-mediated cytotoxic responses to HTLV-1–infected cells

Strains of SD rats

anti gp46 (191–196)antibody

25 mg/head of either LAT-27 or isotype control mAb two times

IP

two times on –7 d and –2 d of delivery

ELISA, qPCR, Flow Cytometry, SIA

When humanized immunodeficient mice were pre-infused intravenously with humanized LAT-27 (hu-LAT-27), all the mice completely resisted HTLV-I infection. These results indicate that hu-LAT-27 may have a potential for passive immunization against both horizontal and mother-to-child vertical infection with HTLV-I

Mitomycin C-treated HLA-A2-negative HTLV-1-infected T-cell lines or short-term cultured peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC))

ELISA, PCR, CTL assay

Short-term cultured autologous PBMC from ATL patients could potentially serve as a vaccine to evoke Tax-specific CTL responses
