ABSTRACT
Although the last decade has seen tremendous progress in drugs that treat cystic fibrosis (CF) due to mutations that lead to protein misfolding, there are approximately 8%-10% of subjects with mutations that result in no significant CFTR protein expression demonstrating the need for gene editing or gene replacement with inhaled mRNA or vector-based approaches. A limitation for vector-based approaches is the formation of neutralizing humoral responses. Given that αCD20 has been used to manage post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease in CF subjects with lung transplants, we studied the ability of αCD20 to module both T and B cell responses in the lung to one of the most immunogenic vectors, E1-deleted adenovirus serotype 5. We found that αCD20 significantly blocked luminal antibody responses and efficiently permitted re-dosing. αCD20 had more limited impact on the T cell compartment, but reduced tissue resident memory T cell responses in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. Taken together, these pre-clinical studies suggest that αCD20 could be re-purposed for lung gene therapy protocols to permit re-dosing.
