Abstract

A recombinant vaccine containing Aventis Pasteur's canarypox vector (ALVAC)–HIV and gp120 alum decreased the risk of HIV acquisition in the RV144 vaccine trial. The substitution of alum with the more immunogenic MF59 adjuvant is under consideration for the next efficacy human trial. We found here that an ALVAC–simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) and gp120 alum (ALVAC–SIV + gp120) equivalent vaccine, but not an ALVAC–SIV + gp120 MF59 vaccine, was efficacious in delaying the onset of SIVmac251 in rhesus macaques, despite the higher immunogenicity of the latter adjuvant. Vaccine efficacy was associated with alum-induced, but not with MF59-induced, envelope (Env)-dependent mucosal innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) that produce interleukin (IL)-17, as well as with mucosal IgG to the gp120 variable region 2 (V2) and the expression of 12 genes, ten of which are part of the RAS pathway. The association between RAS activation and vaccine efficacy was also observed in an independent efficacious SIV-vaccine approach. Whether RAS activation, mucosal ILCs and antibodies to V2 are also important hallmarks of HIV-vaccine efficacy in humans will require further studies.

Contributions

G. Franchini, M.V. and S.N.G. designed and coordinated the study, analyzed the data, prepared the figures and wrote the manuscript. R.-P.S. and S.F. analyzed microarray data and correlates of protection, prepared figures and wrote the manuscript. L.S. performed PB analysis, and N.P.M.L. analyzed ILCs. M.C. performed microarray analysis and analyzed data; B.F.K. did the DNA sequencing and analyzed the transmitted founder variants; D.V. and D.M.S. provided statistical support for study design and data analysis. X.S., G.D.T., E.B., M. Rao, A.W.C., K.G.D., C.B.-K., E.P.B., M.E.A., G.A., D.C.M., T.B.P., G. Ferrari, D.N.F., D.A.V.-I. and M.R.-G. performed binding and functional antibody assays on sera and mucosal secretions. S.W. expressed, scaled up and purified the gp120 proteins. K.F., D.S.Q., M.D., M. Roederer, R.A.K., and A.M. performed T cell assays (ICS), Fluidigm. F.L. and K.L. performed neutrophil staining. Z.-M.M. and C.J.M. provided immunohistochemistry data in mucosa, and M.N.D, N.B, P.P., M. Bissa., F.C. and M. Blackburn helped with cell preparations from blood and tissues. V.K., M.G.F. and D.T. performed envelope-specific ELISA on sera and quantitative assays on viral RNA in plasma and viral DNA tissues. S.R.-K., J.H.K. and N.L.M. provided human samples. S.P., S.W.B. and J.T. provided MF59 and generated a new recombinant ALVAC–SIV.
