    Abstract Currently, no vaccine is available against hepatitis C virus (HCV), and although DNA vaccines have considerable potential, this has not been realised. Previously, the efficacy of DNA vaccines for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and HCV was shown to be enhanced by including the gene for a cytolytic protein, viz. perforin. In this study, we examined the mechanism of cell death by this bicistronic DNA vaccine, which encoded the HCV non-structural protein 3 (NS3) under the control of the CMV promoter and perforin is controlled by the SV40 promoter. Compared with a canonical DNA vaccine and a bicistronic DNA vaccine encoding NS3 and the proapoptotic gene NSP4, the perforin-containing vaccine elicited enhanced cell-mediated immune responses against the NS3 protein in vaccinated mice and pigs, as determined by ELISpot and intracellular cytokine staining, whereas a mouse challenge model suggested that the immunity was CD8(+) T-cell-dependent. The results of the study showed that the inclusion of perforin in the DNA vaccine altered the fate of NS3-positive cells from apoptosis to necrosis, and this resulted in more robust immune responses in mice and pigs, the latter of which represents an accepted large animal model in which to test vaccine efficacy.

    Abstract Cytotoxic lymphocytes (CLs) are the killer cells that destroy intracellular pathogen-infected and transformed cells, predominantly through the cytotoxic granule-mediated death pathway. Soluble cytotoxic granule components, including pore-forming perforin and pro-apoptotic serine proteases, granzymes, synergize to induce unscheduled apoptosis of the target cell. A complete loss of CL function results in an aggressive immunoregulatory disorder, familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, whereas a partial loss of function seems to be a factor strongly predisposing to hematological malignancies. This review discusses the pathological manifestations of CL deficiencies due to impaired perforin function and describes novel aspects of perforin biology.
