چکیده

Hepatitis b virus (hbv) persistence is facilitated by exhaustion of cd8 t cells that express the inhibitory receptor programmed cell death-1 (pd-1). improvement of the hbv-specific t cell function has been obtained in vitro by inhibiting the pd-1/pd-ligand 1 (pd-l1) interaction. in this study,we examined whether in vivo blockade of the pd-1 pathway enhances virus-specific t cell immunity and leads to the resolution of chronic hepadnaviral infection in the woodchuck model. the woodchuck pd-1 was first cloned,characterized,and its expression patterns on t cells from woodchucks with acute or chronic woodchuck hepatitis virus (whv) infection were investigated. woodchucks chronically infected with whv received a combination therapy with nucleoside analogue entecavir (etv),therapeutic dna vaccination and woodchuck pd-l1 antibody treatment. the gain of t cell function and the suppression of whv replication by this therapy were evaluated. we could show that pd-1 expression on cd8 t cells was correlated with whv viral loads during whv infection. etv treatment significantly decreased pd-1 expression on cd8 t cells in chronic carriers. in vivo blockade of pd-1/pd-l1 pathway on cd8 t cells,in combination with etv treatment and dna vaccination,potently enhanced the function of virus-specific t cells. moreover,the combination therapy potently suppressed whv replication,leading to sustained immunological control of viral infection,anti-whs antibody development and complete viral clearance in some woodchucks. our results provide a new approach to improve t cell function in chronic hepatitis b infection,which may be used to design new immunotherapeutic strategies in patients. © 2014 liu et al.
