Development of a broad based cellular and humoral immune response to hepatitis C virus (HCV) structural proteins may be important for irradication of infection. DNA-based immunization is a promising approach to generate HCV-specific immune responses. Previous studies of DNA-based immunizations in mice using an HCV core DNA expression plasmid (pHCV2-2) demonstrated an efficient CTL response against HCV core epitopes; however, the humoral and Th cell proliferative responses were found to be weak. To enhance the immunogenicity of this nonsecreted viral structural protein at the B and T cell level, we coimmunized mice with pHCV2-2 and DNA expression constructs encoding for mouse IL-2, IL-4, and granulocyte-macrophage CSF proteins. Under these experimental conditions, a seroconversion frequency to anti-HCV core increased from 40 to 80% in immunized mice. The CD4+ inflammatory T cell proliferative responses as well as CD8+ CTL activity to HCV core protein were enhanced substantially after coimmunization with the IL-2 and granulocyte-macrophage CSF DNA expression constructs. In contrast, coimmunization with an IL-4-producing construct induced differentiation of Th cells toward a Th0 subtype and suppressed HCV core-specific CTL activity. Taken together, these studies emphasize that generation of antiviral immune responses using DNA-based immunization may be modified by local cytokine production at the site of Ag presentation.
