Zusammenfassung

Immunization with a codon-optimized HPV 16 E7 gene was shown to yield higher levels of E7-specific cytotoxic T cells [Liu WJ, Gao F, Zhao KN, Zhao W, Fernando GJ, Thomas R, et al. Codon modified human papillomavirus type 16 E7 DNA vaccine enhances cytotoxic T-lymphocyte induction and anti-tumour activity. Virology 2002;301:43]. Here, we sought to verify the hypothesis that there is a direct correlation between the level of protein expression and immunogenicity in mice. We generated HPV 16 E7 expression plasmids where the genes were inserted either as authentic sequence (wt) or after optimizing the codons for use in mammalian cells (opt). For enhancement of translation of the E7 gene a 5′ Kozak sequence (K) was added. Transfection experiments revealed the strength of expression in the order of E7opt + K, E7opt − K, E7wt + K and E7wt − K. After immunization of C57/B6 mice we observed an equally strong CD8 + T-cell response with the E7opt plasmids (+ or −K), followed by the E7wt + K and E7wt − K DNAs. The same difference in efficiency was obtained in tumor protection experiments. Regression of pre-existing tumors and CTL activity was observed only with the E7opt + K plasmid. From these data, we conclude that the level of protein expression correlates with the efficiency of CTL response and hence testing by transfection of cells in culture may allow a pre-selection of expression plasmids prior to DNA immunization.
