    Abstract The number of mutations in the omicron (B.1.1.529) BA.1 variant of concern led to an unprecedented evasion of vaccine induced immunity. However, despite rise in global infections, severe disease did not increase proportionally and is likely linked to persistent recognition of BA.1 by T cells and non-neutralizing opsonophagocytic antibodies. Yet, the emergence of new sublineage BA.2, which is more transmissible than BA.1 despite relatively preserved neutralizing antibody responses, has raised the possibility that BA.2 may evade other vaccine-induced responses. Here, we comprehensively profiled the BNT162b2 vaccine-induced response to several VOCs, including omicron BA.1 and BA.2. While vaccine-induced immune responses were compromised against both omicron sublineages, vaccine-induced antibody isotype titers, and non-neutralizing Fc effector functions were attenuated to the omicron BA.2 spike compared to BA.1. Conversely, FcγR2a and FcγR2b binding was elevated to BA.2, albeit lower than BA.1 responses, potentially contributing to persistent protection against severity of disease.

    Abstract An effective vaccine that can protect against HIV infection does not exist. A major reason why a vaccine is not available is the high mutability of the virus, which enables it to evolve mutations that can evade human immune responses. This challenge is exacerbated by the ability of the virus to evolve compensatory mutations that can partially restore the fitness cost of immune-evading mutations. Based on the fitness landscapes of HIV proteins that account for the effects of coupled mutations, we designed a single long peptide immunogen comprising parts of the HIV proteome wherein mutations are likely to be deleterious regardless of the sequence of the rest of the viral protein. This immunogen was then stably expressed in adenovirus vectors that are currently in clinical development. Macaques immunized with these vaccine constructs exhibited T-cell responses that were comparable in magnitude to animals immunized with adenovirus vectors with whole HIV protein inserts. Moreover, the T-cell responses in immunized macaques strongly targeted regions contained in our immunogen. These results suggest that further studies aimed toward using our vaccine construct for HIV prophylaxis and cure are warranted.

    Abstract A key challenge for the development of a cure to HIV-1 infection is the persistent viral reservoir established during early infection. Previous studies using Toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7) agonists and broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs) have shown delay or prevention of viral rebound following antiretroviral therapy (ART) discontinuation in simian-human immunodeficiency virus (SHIV)-infected rhesus macaques. In these prior studies, ART was initiated early during acute infection, which limited the size and diversity of the viral reservoir. Here we evaluated in SHIV-infected rhesus macaques that did not initiate ART until 1 year into chronic infection whether the TLR7 agonist vesatolimod in combination with the bNAb PGT121, formatted either as a human IgG1, an effector enhanced IgG1, or an anti-CD3 bispecific antibody, would delay or prevent viral rebound following ART discontinuation. We found that all 3 antibody formats in combination with vesatolimod were able to prevent viral rebound following ART discontinuation in a subset of animals. These data indicate that a TLR7 agonist combined with antibodies may be a promising strategy to achieve long-term ART-free HIV remission in humans.
