DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The four dengue virus serotypes (DENV1-4) cause the most important mosquito-borne viral disease of humans, with ~400 million infections annually. The mechanisms by which the host immune response to DENV provides either protection or enhancement in a subsequent infection with a different DENV serotype are poorly understood, and this has been a major hindrance in vaccine development. The suboptimal results from the first proof-of-concept dengue vaccine efficacy trial highlight the critical need t better understand the immune response to natural DENV infections and vaccine candidates and to identify robust correlates of protection. This P01 Program applies state-of-the-art immunological methods in the context of long-term ongoing clinical and epidemiological studies of natural DENV infections in Nicaragua as well as Phase 2 and 3 vaccine trials of the Takeda tetravalent live-attenuated dengue vaccine (TV-LAV). We propose to study qualitative and quantitative features of B and T cell immune responses in humans under a coordinated P01 Program including three projects: 1) B cell and antibody responses to natural dengue virus infections; 2) B cell and antibody responses following live attenuated dengue virus vaccination; 3) T cell responses following DENV natural infections and live-attenuated dengue virus vaccination. The overall hypothesis is that DENV-naïve and DENV-exposed individuals develop fundamentally different protective B and T cell responses upon exposure to a new DENV infection or live vaccine. Moreover, we posit that it is the quality as well as the quantity of neutralizing antibodies that determines protective efficacy. The P01 is highly synergistic in that samples from the same individuals and/or sample sets, as well as specific assays and methodologies, are being shared among the Projects, which are supported by an Administrative Core, Immunology Core, and Clinical & Data Management Core. The P01 also leverages a number of existing grants and contracts supporting dengue studies, vaccine trials, and epitope mapping programs. We have formed a Consortium of world-renowned investigators with extensive experience and on-going programs in dengue clinical, immunological, and virological research and vaccine development - thus ensuring a high-quality successful research program, especially since the investigators have a long history of productive collaboration (>190 joint publications). The P01 should result in: 1) Improved understanding of what constitutes protective adaptive immunity in 1° and 2° DENV infections and in naïve and previously DENV-exposed recipients of a dengue TVLAV, which can inform future vaccine formulations; 2) Identification of natural and vaccine-induced B cell/antibody and CD4+/CD8+ T cell correlates of protection that can be used to assess existing and future vaccines; 3) Identification of potential therapeutic monoclonal antibodies and T cell peptide vaccines; and 4) Mapping of novel epitopes and generation of recombinant viruses that can serve as new epitope-specific diagnostic tools.

描述(申请人提供)：四种登革热病毒血清型(DENV1-4)导致人类最重要的蚊媒病毒疾病，每年约有4亿人感染。宿主对DENV的免疫反应在后续感染不同的DENV血清型时提供保护或增强的机制尚不清楚，这一直是疫苗开发的主要障碍。第一次概念验证登革热疫苗效力试验的次优结果突出表明，迫切需要更好地了解对自然DENV感染和候选疫苗的免疫反应，并确定保护的强大相关性。该P01计划将最先进的免疫学方法应用于尼加拉瓜自然DENV感染的长期临床和流行病学研究以及武田四价减毒登革热疫苗(TV-LAV)的第二阶段和第三阶段疫苗试验。我们建议在一个协调的P01计划下研究人类B细胞和T细胞免疫反应的定性和定量特征，包括三个项目：1)对自然登革热病毒感染的B细胞和抗体反应；2)减毒活疫苗接种后的B细胞和抗体反应；3)DENV自然感染和减毒活疫苗接种后的T细胞反应。总体假设是，在接触新的DENV感染或活疫苗时，接触DENV的人和接触DENV的人会产生根本不同的保护性B细胞和T细胞反应。此外，我们假设中和抗体的质量和数量决定了保护效果。P01具有高度的协同性，来自相同个人和/或样本集的样本以及特定的分析和方法在项目之间共享，这些项目由行政核心、免疫学核心以及临床和数据管理核心提供支持。P01还利用了一些现有的赠款和合同，支持登革热研究、疫苗试验和表位测绘计划。我们已经组成了一个由世界知名的研究人员组成的联盟，他们在登革热临床、免疫学和病毒学研究以及疫苗开发方面拥有丰富的经验和持续的项目-从而确保了高质量的成功研究项目，特别是因为研究人员有着长期富有成效的合作历史(&gt；190联合出版物)。P01将导致：1)提高对1°和2°DENV感染以及天真和以前接触过登革热病毒的登革热TVLAV接受者的保护性适应性免疫构成的理解，这将为未来的疫苗配方提供信息；2)鉴定天然和疫苗诱导的B细胞/抗体和CD4+/CD8+T细胞与保护性免疫的相关性，可用于评估现有和未来的疫苗；3)鉴定潜在的治疗性单抗和T细胞肽疫苗；以及4)绘制新的表位图，并生成可作为新的表位特异性诊断工具的重组病毒。
