IL-2 and IL-15 augment HBV therapeutic vaccination and PD1 blockade for functional cure in the AAV-HBV mouse model by Gavin Lewis, Kirsten Malo, Thomas Rowland, Jenaya Hooks, Hao Yuan Liu, Sonam Popli, George Kukolj, Craig S. Pace

“…IntroductionPrevalence of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection remains a major global health issue. Research into a cure has focused on finite combinatorial interventions that aim to reduce HBV surface antigen (HBsAg), suppress virus specific immune tolerance, and induce an adaptive response that functionally controls the virus.MethodsIn C57BL/6 mice transduced with adeno-associated virus encoding the HBV genome, which replicate HBV and persistently express HBsAg at 104 IU/mL or higher, a combination of small interfering RNA (siRNA) knockdown of HBsAg expression followed by immunization with a self amplifying RNA therapeutic HBV vaccine failed to establish HBV control. …”
