Research and DevelopmentResearch and DevelopmentLeads to Vaccine ProductionLeads to Vaccine Production
• It currently costs between 200 and 500 million US dollars to bring a new vaccine from the concept stage to market
• But incentives are present:
The vaccine market has increased fivefold from 1990 to 2000
Annual sales of 8 billion dollars
Less than 2% of the total pharma market but projected to increase
• Major producers (85% of the market)
• GlaxoSmithKline (GSK), Merck, Aventis Pasteur, Wyeth, Novartis
• Main products (>50% of the market)
• Hepatitis B, flu, MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) and DTP (diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis)
• 40% are produced in the United States and the rest is evenly split between Europe and the rest of the world

Basic Principles of Vaccine Immunology
Innate immunityInnate immunity (e.g., macrophages, (e.g., macrophages, neutrophils, certain molecules) is the first line neutrophils, certain molecules) is the first line of defense. It is fast (usually good-to-go) and of defense. It is fast (usually good-to-go) and usually effective.usually effective.

Often, a secondary (memory) response is so fast and effective in removing antigens (pathogens), there are few or no symptoms detected by the infected individual (protective immunity).
Secondary responses are the reason we do not get certain infectious diseases more than once.
Secondary responses also explain why vaccinations work. For vaccinations, instead of immunizing with something that makes you sick, a vaccine contains antigens prime the immune response.

Live VaccinesLive Vaccines
•Characteristics
•Able to replicate in the host
•Attenuated (weakened) so they do not cause disease
•Advantages
•Induce a broad immune response (cellular and humoral)
•Low doses of vaccine are normally sufficient
•Long-lasting protection are often induced
•Disadvantages
•May cause adverse reactions
•May be transmitted from person to person
![Page 25: De Groot Nova Se Immunology Of Vaccines2009](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081602/554b4580b4c905ff268b4f74/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Subunit VaccinesSubunit Vaccines
•Relatively easy to produce (not live)
•Induce little anti-viral T cell response (CTL)
•Viral and bacterial proteins are not produced within cells
•Classically produced by inactivating a whole virus or bacterium
•Heat
•Chemicals
•The vaccine may be purified
•Selecting one or a few proteins which confer protection
• Example: HPV Vaccine created from two HPV proteins
• A self-assembling “particle” made of purified protein that is free from whole microorganism cells
![Page 26: De Groot Nova Se Immunology Of Vaccines2009](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081602/554b4580b4c905ff268b4f74/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Subunit Vaccines: PolysaccharidesSubunit Vaccines: Polysaccharides
•Polysaccharides •Many bacteria have polysaccharides in their outer membrane
•Polysaccharide based vaccines
•Neisseria meningitidis
•Streptococcus pneumoniae
•Generate a T cell-independent response
•Inefficient in children younger than 2 years old
•Overcome by conjugating the polysaccharides to peptides
•This approach used in vaccines against Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae.

Subunit Vaccines: Recombinant Subunit Vaccines: Recombinant •The hepatitis B virus (HBV) vaccine
•Originally based on the surface antigen purified from the blood of chronically infected individuals.
•Due to safety concerns, the HBV vaccine became the first to be produced using recombinant DNA technology (1986)
•Produced in bakers’ yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae)
•Virus-like particles (VLPs)
•Viral proteins that self-assemble to particles with the same size as the native virus.
•VLP is the basis of a promising new vaccine against human papilloma virus (HPV)
•Merck
•In phase III

Genetic VaccinesGenetic Vaccines•Introduce DNA or RNA into the host
•Injected (Naked)
•Coated on gold particles
•Carried by viruses
•vaccinia, adenovirus, or alphaviruses
•bacteria such as
•Salmonella typhi, Mycobacterium tuberculosis
•Advantages
•Easy to produce
•Induce cellular response
•Disadvantages
•Low response in 1st generation

Epitope based vaccinesEpitope based vaccines•Advantages (Ishioka et al. [1999]):
•Can be more potent
•Can be controlled better
•Can induce response to a broad range of proteins and subdominant eptiopes (e.g. against tumor antigens where there is tolerance against dominant epitopes)
•Can target multiple conserved epitopes in rapidly mutating pathogens like HIV and Hepatitis C virus (HCV)
•Can be designed to break tolerance
•Can overcome safety concerns associated with entire organisms or proteins
•Epitope-based vaccines have been shown to confer protection in animal models ([Snyder et al., 2004], Rodriguez et al. [1998] and Sette and Sidney [1999]) and De Groot (in Press).

Therapeutic vaccinesTherapeutic vaccines• Vaccines to treat the patients that already have a disease
• Targets
• Tumors
• AIDS
• Allergies
• Autoimmune diseases
• Hepatitis B
• Tuberculosis
• Malaria
• Helicobacter pylori
• Concept
• suppress/boost existing immunity or induce immune responses.

Cancer vaccinesCancer vaccines• Break the tolerance of the immune system against tumors
• 3 types
1. Whole tumor cells, peptides derived from tumor cells in vitro, or heat shock proteins prepared from autologous tumor cells
2. Tumor-specific antigen–defined vaccines
3. Vaccines aiming to increase the amount of dendritic cells (DCs) that can initiate a long-lasting T cell response against tumors.
• Therapeutic cancer vaccines can induce antitumor immune responses in humans with cancer
• Antigenic variation is a major problem that therapeutic vaccines against cancer face
• Tools from genomics and bioinformatics may circumvent these problems

HIV Vaccine DevelopmentHIV Vaccine Development
The GAIA HIV Vaccine
• In Development since 1998 - More than 300 epitopes mapped• Highly Variable Pathogen – Conserved epitopes• HLA Diversity -- 6 HLA supertypes• T cell help -- Immunogenic consensus sequence epitopes• Validation in HLA transgenic mice -- Good progress.
