CD40/CD40 ligand interactions have a central role in the induction
of both humoral and cellular immunity. In this study, we examined
whether a plasmid expressing CD40 ligand/trimer (CD40LT) could enhance
immune responses in vivo. BALB/c mice were injected with plasmid
expressing ß-galactosidase DNA with or without CD40LT DNA or IL-12
DNA, and immune responses were assessed. Mice vaccinated with ß-gal
DNA plus CD40LT DNA or IL-12 DNA had a striking increase in Ag-specific
production of IFN-
, cytolytic T cell activity, and IgG2a Ab. The
mechanism by which CD40LT DNA enhanced these responses was further
assessed by treating vaccinated mice with anti-IL-12 mAb or CTLA-4
Ig (CTLA4Ig). Production of IFN-
and CTL activity was abrogated by
these treatments, suggesting that CD40LT DNA was mediating its effects
on IFN-
and CTL activity through induction of IL-12 and enhancement
of B7 expression, respectively. Physiologic relevance for the ability
of CD40LT DNA to enhance immune responses by the aforementioned
pathways was shown in two in vivo models. First, with regard to CTL
activity, mice vaccinated with CD40LT DNA did not develop metastatic
tumor following challenge with lethal dose of tumor. Moreover, in a
mouse model requiring IL-12-dependent production of IFN-
, mice
vaccinated with soluble Leishmania Ag and CD40LT DNA
were able to control infection with Leishmania major.
These data suggest that CD40LT DNA could be a useful vaccine adjuvant
for diseases requiring cellular and/or humoral
immunity.
