    An Attenuated HSV-1-Derived Malaria Vaccine Expressing Liver-Stage Exported Proteins Induces Sterilizing Protection against Infectious Sporozoite Challenge
    (2022-02-01T00:00:00Z) Rider, Paul J. F.; KAMIL, MOHD; Yilmaz, Ilknur; Atmaca, Habibe N.; Kalkan-Yazici, Merve; Ziya Doymaz, Mehmet; Kousoulas, Konstantin G.; ALY, Ahmed Sayed Ibrahım; KAMIL, MOHD; YAZICI, MERVE; ALY, AHMED SAYED IBRAHıM
    Here, we present the construction of an attenuated herpes simplex virus type-1 (HSV-1)-vectored vaccine, expressing three liver-stage (LS) malaria parasite exported proteins (EXP1, UIS3 and TMP21) as fusion proteins with the VP26 viral capsid protein. Intramuscular and subcutaneous immunizations of mice with a pooled vaccine, composed of the three attenuated virus strains expressing each LS antigen, induced sterile protection against the intravenous challenge of Plasmodium yoelii 17X-NL salivary gland sporozoites. Our data suggest that this malaria vaccine may be effective in preventing malaria parasite infection using practical routes of immunization in humans.
