The present study sought to determine the impact of the route of
administration of an adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector encoding human
factor IX (hFIX) on the induction of an immune response against the
vector and its xenogenic transgene product, hFIX. Increasing doses of
AAV-hFIX were administered by different routes to C57Bl/6 mice, which
typically demonstrate significant immune tolerance to hFIX. The route
of delivery had a profound impact on serum hFIX levels as well as the
induction of an anti-hFIX humoral immune response. At all dose levels
tested, delivery of AAV-hFIX by an intramuscular (IM) route induced an
antibody response against the human FIX protein and no hFIX was
detected in the serum of animals even at doses of
2 × 1011 DNA viral particles (vp) of AAV-hFIX. This was
in stark contrast to the mice that received AAV-hFIX by intraportal
vein (IPV) administration. No anti-hFIX inhibitors were observed in any
of these mice and therapeutic levels of hFIX were detected in the serum
of all mice that received doses of 2 × 1010 vp AAV-hFIX
and higher. When pre-existing neutralizing immunity to AAV was
established in mice, AAV-hFIX administration by either the IM or IPV
routes did not result in detectable serum hFIX. Although hFIX
expression was not observed in mice with pre-existing neutralizing
immunity to AAV, an anti-hFIX response was induced in all of the
animals that received AAV-hFIX by the IM route. This was not observed
in the preimmune mice that received AAV-hFIX by IPV administration.
These results suggest that the threshold of inducing an immune response
against a secreted transgene product, in this case the xenoprotein
hFIX, is lower when the vector is administered by the IM route even in
animals with pre-existing immunity to AAV.
