摘要: The immune response has been implicated as a critical factor in determining the success or failure of clinical gene therapy trials. Generally, such is elicited by desired transgene product or, some cases, delivery system. In current study, we report previously uncharacterized finding that therapeutic cassette currently being used for human investigation displays alternative reading frames (ARFs) generate unwanted protein products to induce cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) response. particular, tested hypothesis antigenic epitopes derived from an ARF coagulation IX (F9) cDNA can CTL reactivity, subsequently killing F9-expressing hepatocytes. One peptide (p18) 3 candidates F9 induced CD8+ cell reactivity mice expressing MHC class I molecule B0702. Subsequently, upon systemic administration adeno-associated virus (AAV) serotype 2 vectors packaged with (AAV2/F9), robust was against p18. Of particular importance epitope-specific CTLs eliminated AAV2/F9-transduced hepatocytes but not AAV2/F9 codon-optimized (AAV2/F9-opt)-transduced liver cells which p18 epitope deleted. These results demonstrate undiscovered mechanism responses be cryptic generated and have significant implications all modalities. Such unforeseen generation warrants careful analysis sequences ARFs reduce potential adverse events arising during protocols.
