    Collapse Overview
    We are developing a new generation of RNA-based vaccines and adjuvants for mucosal delivery against viral infections that spread by the fecal-oral and respiratory routes. We hypothesize that enteroviral therapeutic interfering particles (eTIPs) are a powerful immunological adjuvant. eTIPs are generated from poliovirus positive-sense mRNA and carry a large deletion within the coding region for the capsid proteins. They cannot spread into the extracellular space, but they encode the RNA replication machinery that supports their intracellular amplification. This self-replicating RNA property and, particularly, the formation of cytosolic dsRNA intermediates greatly promote their recognition by PRRs, leading to production of interferon-stimulated genes within local target tissues.  
    eTIP-based mRNA formulations can potentially encode and drive the synthesis of other viral peptide immunogens, including Ebola, dengue, influenza and HIV-1. Of note, HIV-1 replicates preferentially in mucosal tissues, such as the intestinal mucosa, that are rich in memory CD4 T cells, and considered a major site of HIV reservoir. The few HIV vaccines that have been administered mucosally in human trials to date have not induced HIV-specific secretory IgA, but they were not specifically designed for mRNA-based mucosal application. Crossing the intestinal mucosal barrier could therefore open the door for development of a new therapeutic approach for controlling HIV-1 infections and purge its latent reservoir.

    Altmetrics Details PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
