Human rhinovirus (RV) infections are the principle cause of common colds and precipitate asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbations. Currently there is no vaccine for RV which is largely due to the existence of ∼160 serotypes/strains. We demonstrated previously that immunising mice with highly conserved VP4 and VP2 regions of the RV polyprotein (RV-A16 VP0) generated cross-reactive immunity to RV in vivo. The current study investigated and mapped the epitopes of RV-A16 VP0 that are targets for antibodies in serum samples from VP0 immunisation and RV challenge studies in mice. Recombinant capsid proteins, peptide pools and individual peptides spanning the immunogen sequence (RV-A16 VP0) were assessed for IgG binding sites to identify epitopes. We found that peptide pools covering the C-terminus of VP4, the N-terminus of VP2 and the neutralising NIm-II site within VP2 were bound by serum IgG from immunised mice. The NIm-II site peptide pool blocked IgG binding to the immunogen RV-A16 VP0 and individual peptides within the pool binding IgG were further mapped. Thus, we have identified immunodominant epitopes of RV vaccine candidate RV-A16 VP0, noting that strong IgG binding antibodies were observed that target a key neutralising epitope that is highly variable amongst RV serotypes.

Rhinovirus (RV) infections impose a major disease burden as they cause around three out offour common colds and are responsible for the majority of acute exacerbations of chronicobstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma [1, 2]. RVs therefore are associated withan enormous economic cost in missed work or school and medical attention. Prophylacticvaccination against infection is arguably the most effective medical intervention everdeveloped, and has proven enormously effective in protecting against a large number ofdiseases. However, at the present time no effective vaccine exists for RVs. This is largelydue to the existence of 100 serotyped antigenically distinct RV strains - such variabilitymeans that a vaccine designed to elicit immune responses against a particular RV is unlikelyto be able to provide protection against the full range of virus subtypes successfully [3]. Infact, this phenomenon was observed as early as 1965 when immunising with formalininactivated whole RV and is confirmed by the knowledge that the immunity induced followingRV infection does not significantly protect from future infection by different RV serotypes [4].More sophisticated attempts at immunisation with multiple inactivated RV serotypes alsofailed to induce significant cross-serotype protection [5]. Thus, an effective cross-serotyperesponsive RV vaccine has remained elusive. The relatively recent description of a newclade of RV types (RV-C) has increased the number of identified strains/serotypes to ~160[6]. Perhaps the quest for a RV vaccine has been dismissed as too difficult or evenimpossible, but new developments suggest that it may be feasible to generate a significantbreadth of immune protection.

Rhinoviruses (RV's) are common human pathogens of the respiratory tract being the most frequent cause of mild diseases of the upper respiratory tract (common cold) but more importantly they are a major initiator of acute exacerbations of chronic airway diseases. Infections can be life threatening in the latter context however RV -induced common colds have an associated economic cost from loss of productivity due to absence from work or school. There are no appropriate antiviral therapies available and vaccine strategies have failed because of the large number of viral serotypes and the lack of cross-serotype protection generated. Here, approaches past and present for development of a vaccine to these widespread human pathogens are highlighted.

Rhinoviruses are extremely common pathogens of the upper respiratory tract with adults experiencing on average 2-5 infections per year and children up to 12 infections. Although infections are not life threatening, except in cases of chronic lung disease where rhinoviruses are the major precipitant of acute exacerbations of disease, there is a high associated economic cost resulting from lost productivity due to absence from work or school. Treatment of infections focuses on symptom relief with anti-pyretics/analgesics as there are no antiviral therapies available and vaccine strategies face difficulties because of the large number of viral serotypes. Here, we assess the potential for prophylactic antibody intervention for these ubiquitous human pathogens.
