项目摘要

Summary Chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection affects an estimated 71 million people worldwide. Chronic HCV infection frequently leads to liver cirrhosis and predisposes infected individuals to liver cancer. Approximately, 400,000 die from HCV-related complications a year. While a cure for HCV has recently been developed, access to and affordability of this treatment is limited. Furthermore, less than 20% of chronically infected individuals are aware of their diagnosis. Therefore, to eliminate HCV, a vaccine is still urgently needed. Because of the genetic variability of the HCV, to date HCV vaccines that have been tested clinically have not been successful at preventing chronic infection. This study takes advantage of recent structural data of HCV antigen complexes, computational methods to optimize antigen structure presentation, multivalent presentation of those antigens on self-assembling nanoparticles, and preclinical testing in a nonhuman primate model that has demonstrated strong predictive value of human antibody responses. Core C: NHP, based at the Southwest National Primate Research Center, will evaluate the immunogenicity of rationally designed HCV vaccine antigens and nanoparticles using a non-human primate (NHP) model, rhesus macaques, and collect blood and tissue samples to enable in-depth analysis of the immune responses elicited by the vaccine antigens in this P01 research program.

概括慢性丙型肝炎病毒（HCV）感染影响了全球约有7100万人。慢性HCV 感染经常导致肝硬化，并使感染的个体容易受到肝癌的感染。大约每年与HCV相关并发症死亡40万。虽然最近可以治愈HCV 已开发，获得此治疗的可承受能力是有限的。此外，不到20％长期感染的人知道他们的诊断。因此，为了消除HCV，疫苗是仍然迫切需要。由于HCV的遗传变异性，迄今为止的HCV疫苗已经在临床上测试尚未成功预防慢性感染。这项研究利用了 HCV抗原复合物的最新结构数据，优化抗原结构的计算方法呈现，这些抗原在自组装纳米颗粒上的多价表示以及临床前在非人类灵长类动物模型中测试，该模型表现出强烈的人类抗体预测价值回答。 Core C：总部位于西南国家灵长类动物研究中心的NHP将评估使用非人类的理性设计的HCV疫苗抗原和纳米颗粒的免疫原性灵长类动物（NHP）模型，恒河猕猴和收集血液和组织样品以实现深入疫苗抗原在该P01研究计划中引起的免疫反应的分析。
