| Abstract |
Human papillomavirus (HPV) has been identified as the primary etiologic factor of cervical cancer, the fourth leading cause of cancer death in females worldwide. We have previously shown that coadministration of DNA encoding L1 capsid protein of Bovine papillomavirus (BPV) can enhance the antigen-specific immune response elicited by a therapeutic HPV16-E7 DNA vaccination. In this study, we sought to generate and evaluate the immunogenicity of a therapeutic HPV16-E7 DNA vaccine that encodes the fusion construct of HPV16-E7 and BPV-L1. We generated a therapeutic HPV16-E7 DNA vaccine construct, pcDNA3-BPVL1-E7(49-57), encoding the fusion sequence of full-length BPVL1 protein and a murine E7 antigenic epitope, aa49-57. Transfecting 293-D(b) cells with pcDNA3-BPVL1-E7(49-57) demonstrated that this DNA construct can effectively lead to the presentation of E7 epitope for the activation of E7-specific CD8+ T cells in vitro. Intramuscular vaccination of pcDNA3-BPVL1-E7(49-57) with electroporation generated a stronger E7-specific CD8+ T cell-mediated immune response than coadministration of pcDNA3-BPVL1 and pcDNA3-E7(49-57) in C57BL/6 mice. Furthermore, we observed that the strong E7-specific CD8+ T cell response elicited by pcDNA3-BPVL1-E7(49-57) vaccination translated into potent protective and therapeutic antitumor effects in C57BL/6 mice against HPV16-E7 expressing TC-1 tumor cells. Finally, using antibody depletion experiment, we showed that the antitumor immune response generated by pcDNA3-BPVL1-E7(49-57) is CD8+ T cell dependent, and CD4+ T cell and NK cell independent. Treatment with fusion construct of BPV-L1 and HPV16-E7 epitope can elicit effective E7-specific antitumor immune response in mice. Due to the potential ability of the fusion DNA construct to also trigger immune responses specific to the L1 protein, the current study serves to support future design of HPV DNA vaccines encoding fusion HPVL1-E6/E7 constructs for the generation of both T cell and B cell mediated immune responses against HPV infections and associated diseases. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 03 September 2017.
All research outputs
#17,913,495
of 22,999,744 outputs
Outputs from Cell & Bioscience
#483
of 944 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#227,652
of 317,355 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Cell & Bioscience
#9
of 10 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,999,744 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 19th percentile – i.e., 19% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 944 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.7. This one is in the 38th percentile – i.e., 38% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 317,355 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 23rd percentile – i.e., 23% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 10 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one.
