Adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector-mediated gene transfer is effective in treating monogenetic disorders, but immune responses to AAV or the therapeutic protein encoded by it often occur in recipients. In this study, the researchers explored the use of immunosuppressants rapamycin and ibrutinib, alone or in combination, to inhibit antibody responses specific to AAV vector or transgene product.
Adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector-mediated gene transfer is lessening the impact of monogenetic disorders. Human AAV gene therapy recipients commonly mount immune responses to AAV or the encoded therapeutic protein, which requires transient immunosuppression. Most efforts to date have focused on blunting AAV capsid-specific T cell responses, which have been implicated in elimination of AAV-transduced cells. Here, we explore the use of immunosuppressants, rapamycin given alone or in combination with ibrutinib to inhibit AAV vector- or transgene product-specific antibody responses. Our results show that rapamycin or ibrutinib given alone reduces primary antibody responses against AAV capsid, but the combination of rapamycin and ibrutinib is more effective, blunts recall responses, and reduces numbers of circulating antibody-secreting plasma cells. The drugs fail to lower B cell memory formation or to reduce the inhibitory effects of pre-existing AAV capsid-specific antibodies on transduction efficiency.
