The Bordetella adenylate cyclase toxoid (CyaA) targets cells expressing the alpha(M)beta(2) integrin receptor CD11b/CD18 (CR3 or Mac-1) and can penetrate into cytosol of professional antigen-presenting cells, such as dendritic cells. This allows us to use CyaA for delivery of passenger antigens into the cytosolic pathway of processing and MHC class I-restricted presentation, which can promote induction of antigen-specific CD8(+) cytotoxic T-lymphocyte immune responses. We show here that vaccination with a genetically detoxified CyaA336/E7 protein, carrying the full-length oncoprotein E7 of the human papilloma virus 16 inserted at position 336 of the cell-invasive AC domain of CyaA, induces an E7-specific CD8(+) T-cell immune response and confers on mice protective, as well as therapeutic immunity against challenge with TC-1 tumor cells expressing the E7 oncoprotein. The therapeutic efficacy of priming with the CyaA336/E7 vaccine could further be enhanced by a heterologous booster immunization with a highly attenuated modified vaccinia virus Ankara (MVA) expressing the E7 protein fused to the lysosome-associated membrane protein (LAMP1). These results establish the potential of CyaA as a new antigen delivery tool for prime/boost immunotherapy of tumors.
