Virus-associated malignancies are potential targets for immunotherapeutic vaccines aiming to stimulate T-cell responses against viral antigens expressed in tumor cells. Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-associated nasopharyngeal carcinoma, a high-incidence tumor in southern China, expresses a limited set of EBV proteins, including the nuclear antigen EBNA1, an abundant source of HLA class II-restricted CD4⁺ T-cell epitopes, and the latent membrane protein LMP2, a source of subdominant CD8⁺ T-cell epitopes presented by HLA class I alleles common in the Chinese population. We used appropriately modified gene sequences from a Chinese EBV strain to generate a modified vaccinia virus Ankara recombinant, MVA-EL, expressing the CD4 epitope-rich C-terminal domain of EBNA1 fused to full-length LMP2. The endogenously expressed fusion protein EL is efficiently processed via the HLA class I pathway, and MVA-EL-infected dendritic cells selectively reactivate LMP2-specific CD8⁺ memory T-cell responses from immune donors in vitro. Surprisingly, endogenously expressed EL also directly accesses the HLA class II presentation pathway and, unlike endogenously expressed EBNA1 itself, efficiently reactivates CD4⁺ memory T-cell responses in vitro. This unscheduled access to the HLA class II pathway is coincident with EL-mediated redirection of the EBNA1 domain from its native nuclear location to dense cytoplasmic patches. Given its immunogenicity to both CD4⁺ and CD8⁺ T cells, MVA-EL has potential as a therapeutic vaccine in the context of nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
