Rejuvenating viral vectors
Adenovirus serotype 5 (Ad5) vaccine vectors elicit mixed responses—they induce protective CD8+ T cells, but these cells may be partially exhausted. Now, Larocca et al. demonstrate that this exhausted phenotype may result from Ad5 vector–induced antigen-specific CD4+ T cells that express interleukin-10 (IL-10) and programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) in both mice and macaques. These IL-10+CD4+ T cells suppress the vaccine-induced CD8+ T cell response, and their inhibitory function may depend in part on IL-27. These data suggest that targeting this inhibitory pathway may enhance protection of viral vector–based vaccines.
