Patent

CA 2454750

The invention provides HSV antigen that are useful for the prevention and treatment of HSV infection. Disclosed herein are epitopes confirmed to be recognized by T-cells derived from herpetic lesions. T-cells having specificity for antigens of the invention have demonstrated cytotoxic activity against cells loaded with virally-encoded peptide epitopes, and in many cases, against cells infected with HSV. The identification of immunogenic antigens responsible for T-cell specificity provides improved anti-viral therapeutic and prophylactic strategies. Compositions containing antigens or polynucleotides encoding antigens of the invention provide effectively targeted vaccines for prevention and treatments of HSV infection.

L'invention se rapporte à des antigènes HSV utiles dans la prévention et dans le traitement de l'infection HSV. L'invention concerne aussi des épitopes dont on a confirmé qu'ils sont reconnus par les lymphocytes T dérivés des lésions de l'herpès. Les lymphocytes T présentant une spécificité pour les antigènes de cette invention ont démontré une activité cytotoxique contre les cellules chargées d'épitopes de peptides à codage viral et, dans de nombreux cas, contre les cellules infectées par le HSV. L'identification des antigènes immunogènes responsables de la spécificité des lymphocytes T fournit de meilleures stratégies thérapeutiques et prophylactiques antivirales. Des compositions contenant des antigènes ou des polynucléotides codant des antigènes selon l'invention permettent d'obtenir des vaccins efficacement ciblés pour la prévention et le traitement des infections HSV.
