  1. HPV vaccines: who and when to vaccinate Margaret Stanley Department of Pathology Cambridge

  2. OUTLINE OF PRESENTATION • Immune response in the natural history • of HPV infections • Prophylactic vaccines rationale and immune mechanisms • Who and when to vaccinate • before exposure • ? post exposure

  3. Immunity is a partnership • Innate no memory, not antigen specific • activated by cell death • Innate immunity kick starts adaptive immunity • by activating antigen presenting cells (APC) • Adaptive memory antigen specific • lymphocytes key players • humoral immunity • antibody mediated • neutralises extracellular pathogens • prevents re-infection • cell mediated immunity • cytotoxic effectorcells • kill infected cells

  4. Type 1/Th1 Cell mediated CD4+ T cells help killers Killer T cells Activated macrophages* Cytokines* Natural killer cells* Type 2/Th2 Humoral CD4+ T cells help B cells make antibody Non cytotoxic Antibody IgM, IgG, IgA, IgE Adaptive immune responses *innate effectors enhanced and activated by adaptive responses

  6. Antibody responses in natural infections are slow and weak only 50-60% of women sero-convert Why are antibody responses so poor? No viraemia HPV does not lyse keratinocytes no inflammation no pro-inflammatory cytokines poor activation of Langerhans cells and stromal dendritic cells Free virus particles are shed from mucosal surfaces with poor exposure to APC

  7. OUTLINE OF PRESENTATION • Immune response in the natural history • of HPV infections • Prophylactic vaccines rationale and immune mechanisms • Who and when to vaccinate • before exposure • ? post exposure

  8. Why might vaccines generating neutralising antibody be effective prophylactically ? • Systemic immunisation with infectious Cotton • tail rabbit papillomavirus (CRPV) • did not induce visible papillomas • generated serum neutralising antibody • immunised rabbits were protected against • viral challenge Shope RE 1937 Immunisation of rabbits to infectious papillomatosis J Exp Med 65 607-24

  9. HPV vaccines are sub-unit vaccines made of virus like particles: VLPs Making VLPs: molecular “cut and paste” “cut” the L1 gene from the virus DNA “paste” into the DNA of another microbe such as yeast or baculovirus grow the recombinant microbe in large amounts – as it grows it makes the L1 protein The chemistry of this protein is such that it self assembles into a virus like particle - an empty protein shell without DNA The VLP is morphologically and immunologically identical to the HPV virus particle HPV 16 L1 VLPs

  10. VLP vaccines: mechanisms • 3 key players in the induction • of the antibody response • Dendritic cells (antigen presenting cells) in the • muscle • T lymphocytes in the lymph node • B lymphocytes in the lymph node

  12. Th2 cell help for B lymphocytes is crucial • to • Class switching – determines the type (IgG,etc) • and amount of antibody secreted • dictated by the Th2 cytokines – these in turn • are regulated by • antigen type • antigen dose • The generation of memory and the efficiency • of the response to recall antigen • under the control of memory Th2 cells

  13. B cell memory and long term antibody persistence Amanna et al Imm Revs 2006 211:320

  14. VLP vaccines generate high levels of antibody to HPV L1 Why are they so immunogenic? • Delivered intramuscularly • rapid access of VLPs to blood vessels • and local lymph nodes • potent activators of APC • induce good T helper responses for B cells

  26. Is there cross-protection? Evidence for cross-protection against incident infection with HPV 45 and 31 after vaccination with Cervarix Harper etal Lancet April 6th 2006 Cross neutralising antibodies to HPV 45 and 31 generated after immunisation with Gardasil Titres of these cross-neutralising antibodies are 1-2 logs lower than the dominant type specific neutralising antibody Smith JF et al IPV Prague Sept 3 2006 Abstract PL 1-6

  27. Prophylactic HPV L1 VLP vaccines Efficacy >90% for persistent infection 100% for disease (5 years post vaccination) in subjects naïve for vaccine HPV types Immunogenic high antibody concentrations up to 1000x > than in natural HPV infection Duration of vaccine induced antibody levels protection maintained over 5 years Safe no vaccine related serious adverse events identified in the trials to date (70,000 women)
