BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) vaccines are urgently needed to achieve WHO's goal for the elimination of viral hepatitis by 2030. The lack of suitable animal models for evaluating vaccine efficacy has greatly hindered the development of HCV vaccines. By using the rat model chronically infected with rodent hepacivirus from Rattus norvegicus (RHV-rn1), a hepacivirus homologously close to HCV as a surrogate model of HCV infection, we assessed the protective effectiveness of the RHV-rn1 vaccine Sad23L-RHVns.
METHODS: Sad23L-RHVns vaccine was constructed with the nonstructural proteins (NS) 3-5B genes of RHV-rn1. SD rats were immunised with Sad23L-RHVns by prime or prime-boost regimen via intramuscular injection, then challenged 4 weeks post vaccination by RHV-rn1. A part of the rats were rechallenged with a variant 15 weeks post the first challenge of RHV-rn1.
RESULTS: The specific T-cell responses to NS3-5B antigens were induced by prime immunisation, which were significantly enhanced by boost vaccination. The inoculated rats and controls were challenged by wild-type RHV-rn1, of all the primed and control rats having persistently high levels of viremia, whereas 7 of 9 (77.8%) boosted rats cleared RHV-rn1 infection. Interestingly, the resolver acquired immune protection against re-challenging with variant and showed significantly higher T-cell responses than the nonresolver in 25 weeks post rechallenge.
CONCLUSIONS: Sad23L-RHVns with prime-boost regimen protected 77.8% of rats against wild-type RHV-rn1 infection, and resolvers showed high levels and maintenance of T cell immunity against the variant. Our findings that maintenance of effective T cell immunity is required for RHV-rn1 resolution may provide insight to develop the HCV vaccine in humans.
