Abstract Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) primarily enters the host and initiates infection through mucosal tissues. Therefore, a vaccination strategy that can elicit cellular and humoral immune responses in mucosal tissues is urgently needed. However, there is currently no approved adjuvant that can achieve robust levels of both T-cell and antibody responses in mucosal tissues. Therefore, there is a critical need for an alternative, effective, and safe strategy for mucosal vaccination. Our long-range goal is to develop vaccine delivery systems that can elicit protective immunity against HIV-1. Our objective here is to engineer nanoparticles for mucosal delivery of HIV-1 antigens and investigate their impact on elicitation of systemic and mucosal immune responses. To that end, we have developed a new lipid-based nanoparticle (NP) system that can elicit strong cytotoxic CD8+ T lymphocyte (CTL) responses with subunit protein antigens. We show that these new vaccine NPs promote antigen delivery to antigen-presenting cells in vivo, generate CTLs that disseminate to mucosal tissues, including cervicovaginal and gastrointestinal tracts, and protect animals against viral infection. We also show that NPs induce significantly higher antibody titers, lasting > 400 days in mice with greater avidity, durability, and breath, compared with conventional adjuvants on the market (e.g. alum or Montanide). Based on these preliminary data, we propose to develop a new nanoformulation-based strategy for mucosal immunization against HIV-1. We will test our central hypothesis that NPs incorporated with T and B-cell HIV-1 immunogens will elicit concerted cellular and humoral immune responses in mucosal tissues. At the completion of the proposed studies, we will have identified a new vaccination technology that can induce mucosal T and B cell responses against HIV-1. These studies will accelerate HIV vaccine development and advance our fundamental understanding of the relationship between vaccine delivery systems and mucosal immunity.

抽象的 人免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）主要进入宿主并通过粘膜组织引发感染。 因此，一种可以引起粘膜组织中细胞和体液免疫反应的疫苗接种策略是 迫切需要。但是，目前尚无批准的佐剂可以达到两个T细胞的稳健水平 和粘膜组织中的抗体反应。因此，迫切需要替代，有效和 粘膜疫苗接种的安全策略。我们的远程目标是开发可以 引起对HIV-1的保护性免疫。我们的目的是设计纳米颗粒以进行粘膜递送 HIV-1抗原并研究其对系统性和粘膜免疫反应的启发的影响。到 这结束了，我们开发了一种新的基于脂质的纳米颗粒（NP）系统，该系统可以引起强大的细胞毒性CD8+ 用亚基蛋白抗原的T淋巴细胞（CTL）反应。我们表明这些新的疫苗NP促进 抗原递送至抗原呈递细胞的体内，产生的CTL会传播到粘膜组织， 包括宫颈阴道和胃肠道，并保护动物免受病毒感染。我们也显示 NP诱导明显更高的抗体滴度，持续> 400天，耐用性，耐用性， 与市场上的常规佐剂相比（例如明矾或千叶）。基于这些 初步数据，我们建议制定一种新的基于纳米制剂的粘膜免疫策略 反对HIV-1。我们将测试中心假设，即NP与T和B细胞HIV-1免疫原合并 将在粘膜组织中引起一致的细胞和体液免疫反应。完成时 拟议的研究，我们将确定一种可以诱导粘膜T和B细胞的新疫苗接种技术 对HIV-1的反应。这些研究将加速艾滋病毒疫苗的发展并提高我们的 对疫苗输送系统与粘膜免疫之间关系的基本了解。
