| Abstract | Sigmodon hispidus or cotton rat is an excellent animal model for studying human infections of respiratory viruses including respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), which is the leading cause of hospitalization in infants and causes high rates of infection in the elderly and immunocompromised patient populations. Despite several decades of research, no vaccine has been licensed whereas inactivated vaccines have been shown to induce severe adverse reaction in a clinical trial, with other forms of RSV vaccine also found to induce enhanced disease in preclinical animal studies. While arguably the cotton rat is the best small animal model for evaluation of RSV vaccines and antivirals, many important genes of the immune system remain to be isolated. Programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) plays an integral role in regulating many aspects of immunity by inducing suppressive signals. In this study, we report the isolation of mRNA encoding the cotton rat PD-1 (crPD-1) and characterization of the PD-1 protein. crPD-1 bound to its cognate ligand on dendritic cells and effectively suppressed cytokine secretion. Moreover, using the newly acquired gene sequence, we observed a decreased level of crPD-1 levels in cotton rats with enhanced respiratory disease induced by inactivated RSV vaccine, unraveling a new facet of vaccine-induced disease. |
