    PBMCs (~10 × 106) derived from 20 HLA-A*0201(+) individuals vs. 8 HLA-A*0201(−) HSV-seropositive individuals were stimulated in vitro for 72 hrs with each of 22 groups of equimolar peptides. IFN-γ and CD107a/b were then measured by intracellular staining, as outlined in Materials and Methods. (A) Representative contour plots of percentage of <t>IFN-γ+CD8+</t> T cells specific to groups of HSV-1 peptides 6, 11 and 16 detected in HLA-A*0201(+) (left panels) and HLA-A*0201(−) (right panels) individuals. (B) Average frequencies of IFN-γ+CD8+ T cells specific to 22 groups of HSV-1 peptides detected in PBMCs from HLA-A*0201(+) (closed circle) and HLA-A*0201(−) (open circle) individuals. (C) Representative contour plots of expression of CD107a/b by CD8+ T cells specific to groups of HSV-1 peptides 6, 11 and 16 detected in HLA-A*0201(+) (left panel) and HLA-A*0201(−) (right panel) individuals. (D) Average frequencies of CD107a/b(+)CD8+ T cells detected in HLA-A*0201(+) (closed circle) and HLA-A*0201(−) (open circle) individuals in response to 22 groups of HSV-1 peptides. (E) Representative dot plots of percentage of dividing CFSE(+)CD8+ T cells from HLA-A*0201(+) (top three rows) and HLA-A*0201(−) individuals (lower three rows) following a 6-days in vitro stimulation with each of the 22 groups of HSV-1 peptides. The results are representative of 2 independent experiments. The nominal P values indicated on panels (B) and (D) show statistical significance between HLA-A*0201(+) and HLA-A*0201(−) individuals. P values are calculated using either the parametric two-sample Student’s t-test or non-parametric Wilcoxon rank sum test, as appropriate. For paired comparisons involving the 22 groups of peptides, we have adjusted for multiple comparisons using the Bonferroni procedure.

(B) Representative FACS plot of frequency of GFP positive neuronal cells (GFP(+)NeuN(+) cells) in TG of mice (n = 10/group) that received topical ocular application of: (1) a rAAV-8-CMV-GFP-CMV-CXCL10 vector (CMV); (1) a rAAV-8-CamKIIα-GFP-CamKIIα-CXCL10 vector (CamKIIα); during HSV-1 latency (i.e. 41 dpi). Bar diagram show average frequency of GFP(+)NeuN(+) cells in TG. (C) HLA-A*0201 Tg mice were ocularly infected with 2 × 105 pfu HSV-1 (strain McKrae). During latency (day 35 post infection), eyes of all mice were exposed to UV-B light. Forty-one dpi, mice (n = 10/group) received topical ocular application of: (1) AAV8-CamKIIα-mCCL5-CamKIIα-eGFP vector (CCL5); (2) AAV8-CamKIIα-mCXCL9-CamKIIα-eGFP (CXCL9); or of (3) CXCL10 (AAV8-CamKIIα-mCXCL10-CamKIIα-eGFP (CXCL10). Eye swabs were collected for 5 days following chemokine administration. On day 46-post infection, mice from all 4 groups were sacrificed and the frequencies of HSV-specific tissue resident memory CD103+CD8+ TRM cells were evaluated in trigeminal ganglia.

    (A) Schedule of prime/pull therapeutic vaccination in HSV-1 infected HLA-A*0201 Tg mice. HLA-A*0201 Tg mice (6 – 8 weeks old, n = 30) were ocularly infected using 2 × 105 pfu HSV-1 (strain McKrae). 21-days post-infection, once the latency is well established, mice were divided in three groups (n = 10 each). Group 1 and group 2 were vaccinated with genome-wide derived ASYMP CD8+ T cell epitopes (UL9196–204, UL25572–580 and UL44400–408) along with PADRE CD4+ T helper epitope both mixed with CpG1826 adjuvant. Group 3 mice received adjuvant alone (Mock). Two weeks after the first peptide vaccination (i.e. day 35 post infection), eyes of all three groups of mice were exposed UV-B light to induce reactivation. The eyes of all groups were swabbed daily up to 5-days post UV-B exposure with moist, type 1 calcium alginate swabs. Animals were examined for signs of ocular disease by slit lamp for 30 days. The recurrent herpetic disease was scored according to a standard 0 to 4 scale: 0, no disease; 1, 25%; 2, 50%; 3, 75%; and 4, 100% disease. On day 41 post infection, Group 1 of vaccinated mice (n = 10) was left untreated (Vaccinated) while Group 2 of vaccinated mice (n = 10) received topical ocular application of AAV8-CamKII-mCXCL10-CamKIIa-eGFP neurotropic vector (vaccinated + CXCL10). Eye swabs were collected for five additional days. (B) Top panel shows an eye picture of a mouse vaccinated with ASYMP epitopes + PADRE, without CXCL10 treatment (Vaccinated). Middle panel shows an eye picture of a mouse vaccinated with ASYMP epitopes + PADRE + treatment with CXCL10 chemokine (Vaccinated + CXCL10). Bottom panel shows the eye picture of a mock-vaccinated mouse control (Mock). (C) Average disease scores, on the scale of 0 to 4, detected in all three groups of mice. (D) Virus titer detected in tears of all three groups of mice following UV-B induced reactivation. Five days after CXCL10 treatment (i.e. on day 46 post infection), mice from all groups were scarified and their TG extracted. The frequency, function and phenotype of HSV-specific CD8+ T cells were evaluated in trigeminal ganglia of mice from all 3 groups. (E) Representative FACS plot of the frequency of “ASYMP” UL9196–204 epitope-specific IFN-γ(+)CD8+ T cells; CD107a/b(+)CD8+ T cells; PD-1(+)CD8+ T cells and VISTA(+)CD8+ T cells detected in the TG of Vaccinated; Vaccinated+CXCL10; and Mock-Vaccinated mice. Average percentages (F) and average numbers (G) of “ASYMP” epitopes-specific IFN-γ(+)CD8+ T cells; CD107a/b(+)CD8+ T cells; PD-1(+)CD8+ T cells and VISTA(+)CD8+ T cells detected in the TG of Vaccinated; Vaccinated+CXCL10; and Mock-Vaccinated mice. The nominal P values indicated on panels (C), (D), (F) and (G) show statistical significance between vaccinated and mock-immunized mice. We have used the General Linear Model procedure and compared the least squares means using the Dunnett procedure for multiple comparisons.
