This document discusses the challenges of developing an effective HIV vaccine and different vaccine approaches that have been attempted. The first attempts used recombinant viral proteins to generate antibodies but had limited effectiveness. A combination vaccine trial in Thailand saw partial effectiveness by generating antibodies to a variable loop on the HIV gp120 protein. Subsequent trials used adenovirus vectors carrying HIV genes to also boost T cell responses, but early results from a major trial were a stunning failure, leading researchers to re-evaluate their vaccine strategies and focus more on understanding immune responses.
Introduction to Computational Vaccinology and iVAX by EpiVaxAnnie De Groot
This presentation was developed for Dr. Anna Durbin's vaccine class at Johns Hopkins. It was delivered simultaneously to my vaccine class at URI. Both classes had their first introductory lecture at the same time, so we joined them by webinar. The slides cover the EpiVax approach to computational vaccinology, which is relatively novel as compared to other groups working in the field. A number of case studies, including H7N9, are provided.
A introduction on Viral vaccine for medical students.Although most attenuated vaccines are viral, some are bacterial in nature. Examples include the viral diseases yellow fever, measles, rubella, and mumps, and the bacterial disease typhoid.

Technology is a never-ending process where newer and better things are being discovered. The area of technology that will be discussed here is biotechnology. Biotechnology is the harnessing by man of the ability of organisms to produce drugs, food or other useful products. Micro-organisms are the main ones involved in biotechnology, especially bacteria and fungi. More recently, genetic engineering or the altering of the genes, the building blocks which determine the make-up of an organism, has been increasingly used in biotechnology.

VACCINES
A vaccine is a medical preparation given to provide immunity from a disease.
Vaccines use a variety of different substances ranging from dead microorganisms to genetically engineered antigens to defend the body against potentially harmful microorganisms.
Effective vaccines change the immune system by promoting the development of antibodies that can quickly and effectively attack disease-causing microorganisms when it enters the body, preventing disease development.
A vaccine may contain live-attenuated or killed microorganisms or parts or products from them capable of stimulating a specific immune response comprised of protective antibodies and T cell immunity.
A vaccine should stimulate a sufficient number of memory T and B lymphocytes to yield effector T cells and antibody-producing B cells from memory cells.
The viral vaccines should also be able to stimulate high titers of neutralizing antibodies.
Injection of a vaccine into a nonimmune subject induces active immunity against the modified pathogens.
Vaccination is immunization against infectious disease through the administration of vaccines for the production of active (protective) immunity in humans or other animals
There are 4 main types of vaccines:
Live Attenuated vaccines (LAV)
Inactivated vaccines (Killed Antigen)
Subunit and Conjugate Vaccines (Purified Antigen)
Toxoid vaccines (Inactivated Toxins)
1. Live attenuated (LAV)
Tuberculosis (BCG), Oral polio vaccine (OPV), Measles, Rotavirus, Yellow fever
2. Inactivated (killed antigen)
Whole-cell pertussis (wP), Inactivated polio virus (IPV)
3. Subunit (purified antigen)
Acellular pertussis (aP),
Haemophilus inuenzae type b (Hib), Pneumococcal (PCV-7, PCV-10, PCV-13), Hepatitis B (HepB)
4. Toxoid (inactivated toxins)
Tetanus toxoid (TT), Diphtheria toxoid
Vaccines teach the immune system to fight off disease by helping it learn what a pathogen looks like. What kinds of vaccines are out there, and how do they differ from one another?
Vaccines and the Immune Response: How Vaccines Work
This animation provides an overview of vaccines and the immune response, and how influenza vaccines work. Influenza vaccines are able to trigger an immune response by mimicking viral infection. They are usually manufactured using inactivated or killed virus particles taken from various circulating influenza strains.

4. Even 2,500 Years Ago,
People Knew Immunity Worked.
• Greek physicians
noticed that people who
survived smallpox
never got it again.
• The insight: Becoming
infected by certain
diseases gives
immunity.
5. Fast forward 2300 years
Vaccination
• Edward Jenner 1796 :
Cowpox/Swinepox
• 1800’s Compulsory childhood
vaccination
6. Variolation was a huge advance
Smallpox
•1% v. 25% mortality
•Life-long immunity
• UK: 1700’s
• China 1950
• Pakistan/Afghanistan/Ethiopia
1970

7. Smallpox presented many advantages that made this possible
Smallpox•
No animal reservoir
• Lifelong immunity
• Subclinical cases rare
• Infectivity does
not precede overt symptoms
• One Variola serotype
•

10. How does vaccination
work?
Expose the patient to an Antigen
• A live or inactivated substance (e.g.,
protein, polysaccharide) derived from a
pathogen (e.g bacteria or virus) capable
of producing an immune response
11. How does vaccination
work?
Expose the patient to an Antigen
• A live or inactivated substance (e.g.,
protein, polysaccharide) derived from a
pathogen (e.g bacteria or virus)capable of
producing an immune response
If the patient is subsequently exposed
to infectious agent carrying this
Antigen they will mount a faster
immune response
12. It works like this
Patient exposed to pathogen
Carrying antigens A and B
Molecular Biology of the Cell Alberts et al
13. Vaccines can be divided
into two types
• Live attenuated
• Inactivated
14. Inactivated Vaccines
fall into different categories
Whole
• viruses
• bacteria
Fractional
• Individual proteins from pathogen
• Pathogen specific complex sugars
15. Live Attenuated Vaccines
have several advantages
• Attenuated (weakened) form of the
"wild" virus or bacterium
• Can replicate themselves so the
immune response is more similar to
natural infection
• Usually effective with one dose
16. Live Attenuated Vaccines
also have several
disadvantages
• Severe reactions possible
especially in
immune compromised
patients
• Worry about recreating
a wild-type pathogen
that can cause disease
• Fragile – must be
stored carefully
MMWR, CDC
17. A number of the vaccines you
received
were live Attenuated Vaccines
• Viral measles, mumps,
rubella, vaccinia,
varicella/zoster,
yellow fever, rotavirus,
intranasal influenza,
oral polio
• Bacterial BCG (TB), oral typhoid
18. Inactivated Vaccines are the
other option
Pluses
• No chance of recreating live pathogen
• Less interference from circulating antibody
than live vaccines
19. Inactivated Vaccines are the
other option
Minuses
• Cannot replicate and thus generally not as
effective as live vaccines
• Usually require 3-5 doses
• Immune response mostly antibody based
20. Inactivated Vaccines are also
a common approach today
Whole-cell vaccines
• Viral polio, hepatitis A,
rabies, influenza*
• Bacterial pertussis*, typhoid*
cholera*, plague*
*not used in the United States
21. Other Inactivated Vaccines
now contain purified proteins
rather than whole bacteria/viruses
• Proteins hepatitis B, influenza,
acellular pertussis,
human papillomavirus,
anthrax, Lyme
• Toxins diphtheria, tetanus
22. Sabin Polio Vaccine
Attenuated by passage in foreign host (monkey kidney cells)
Selection to grow in new host makes virus
less suited to original host
23. Sabin Polio Vaccine
Attenuated by passage in foreign host (monkey kidney cells)
Selection to grow in new host makes virus
less suited to original host
• Grows in epithelial cells
• Does not grow in nerves
• No paralysis
•Local gut immunity (IgA)
25. Polio Vaccine illustrates the pluses
and minuses of live vaccines
US: Sabin attenuated vaccine
~ 10 cases vaccine-associated polio per year =
1 in 4,000,000 vaccine infections
Scandinavia: Salk dead vaccine
• No gut immunity
• Cannot wipe out wt virus
pathmicro.med.sc.edu/ppt-vir/vaccine.ppt
27. Modern molecular biology
has offered new approaches
to make vaccines
1. Clone gene from virus or bacteria
and express this protein antigen
in yeast, bacteria or
mammalian cells in culture
28. Modern molecular biology
has offered new approaches
to make vaccines
2. Clone gene from virus or bacteria
Into genome of another virus (adenovirus, canary pox, vaccinia)
And use this live virus as vaccine
29. Cloned protein antigens
have pluses and minuses
Pluses
•Easily manufactured and often relatively stable
•Cannot “revert” to recreate pathogen
Minuses
• Poorly immunogenic
•Poor T cell response
30. Viral vectors
have pluses and minuses
Pluses
• Infects human cells but some do not replicate
• Better presentation of antigen
• Generate T cell response
Minuses
•Can cause bad reactions
•Can be problems with pre-exisiting immunity to virus
•Often can only accommodate one or two antigens
31. Given that introduction,
should we search for a
vaccine against HIV and
how would we do so?
30 million deaths caused by HIV
33 million living with HIV/AIDS
2.7 million new infections in 2008
33. This allows An T cells effective to vaccine recognize must get HIV around
infected cells,
for example, and even internal proteins
the strategies HIV uses to evade the immune system
like reverse transcriptase can serve as antigens
34. This allows T cells to recognize HIV infected cells,
The vaccine must be able to target conserved
and essential parts of the viruses machinery
for example, and even internal proteins
like reverse transcriptase can serve as antigens
Inaccessible epitopes
Antigenic escape
+ existence of many viral strains
35. This allows T cells to recognize HIV infected cells,
The vaccine must act early in the process
Before the virus becomes firmly established
for example, and even internal proteins
And destroys the immune system
like reverse transcriptase can serve as antigens
Integration and latency
Destruction of CD4+ T cells

42. Remember the long term non-progressors
Infected with a Nef mutant virus?
43. This would generate both
an antibody and a T cell response
Could this be used to generate a vaccine?
44. This prompted an experiment
that demonstrated
the feasibility of a vaccine
45. This prompted an experiment
that demonstrated
the feasibility of a vaccine
December 1992: Live attenuated SIV vaccine
Lacking the gene Nef
protected all monkeys for 2 years against
massive dose of virus
• All controls died
• cell mediated immunity was key
46. However, this approach is still
viewed as too risky to try on
human subjects

47. Another effort attempted to
use recombinant viral proteins as antigens
in an effort to generate neutralizing antibodies
48. VaxGen made two different forms
of gp120 from different HIV strains
and began human trials after chimp testing
50. The trial was viewed as a failure,
with only minor effects seen
that were interpreted
as statistically insignificant
NY Times
51. Or was it a failure?
A variant on the same vaccine was
tried in Thailand
combination of two vaccines:
Patients were primed with ALVAC® HIV vaccine
= live canarypox vector expressing gp120
and boosted with
the recombinant gp120 protein VacGen AIDSVAX® B/E
The vaccine combination was based on HIV strains
common in Thailand.
52. Or was it a failure?
A variant on the same vaccine was
tried in Thailand
combination of two vaccines:
Canarypox virus (CNPV) is an Canarypox is an
avipoxvirus and the etiologic agent of
canarypox, a disease of wild and captive birds
that can cause significant losses. Canarypox
can enter human cells, but it cannot survive
and multiply
No thanks!
Past approaches to vaccine strategies directed against HIV have included attenuated and inactivated virus, but the high risk and safety limitations afforded to these traditional approaches have led to the exploration of novel vaccine strategies, such as a viral vector-based approach. The success with vaccination against other viruses is a window of optimism, and the over 10 HIV vaccine trials currently ongoing include the use of alphavirus, vaccinia, and adenoviral vectors, in addition to DNA plasmid, protein subunit, and peptide vaccines.
