Functional profiling of HB-101 vaccination-induced T cells. (A and B) Based on Boolean gating analysis, 15 populations representing all possible combinations of interferon (IFN)-γ, interleukin (IL)-2, tumor necrosis factor (TNF), and CD40L (CD4) or CD107a (CD8) were analyzed at the indicated time points. All vaccine recipients in the 3 cohorts were analyzed as 1 group, regardless of dose. Mean frequencies of CD8 and CD4 T cells specific for cytomegalovirus glycoprotein B (gB) (A) and pp65 (B) are displayed. *, Significant differences between placebo and vaccine groups at Month 4; **, significant differences between placebo and vaccine groups at Month 4 and 12. (C) Distribution of polyfunctional cytomegalovirus gB- and pp65-specific CD8 and CD4 T cells was analyzed using SPICE software. Mean proportions of cells producing 1, 2, 3, or 4 cytokines are shown at Day 28, Day 84, Month 4, and Month 12. Subpopulations with 4 functions are shown in black, with 3 functions in dark gray, bifunctional cells are shown in light gray and monofunctional cells are shown in white. Individual markers contributing to (multi)functionality are indicated by color-coded arcs.
