Trial Outcomes & Findings for Characterization of Skin Immunity to Aedes Aegypti Saliva in Dengue-endemic Participants in Cambodia (NCT NCT04350905)

NCT ID: NCT04350905

Last Updated: 2022-04-12

Results Overview

Measurement of changes in the early and late innate immune response and cellular recruitment in bitten skin versus unbitten skin by: a) immunohistochemistry of target proteins at Day 0 timepoints b) immunophenotyping of innate immune cell subsets in dissociated skin sample at Day 0 timepoints c) determination of cytokine profile in dissociated skin sample supernatant at Day 0 timepoints d) differential cDNA expression prepared from skin RNA and analyzed via RNASeq at Day 0 timepoints

Measure
Mosquito Feeding
Each participant will receive one mosquito feeding with 5 starved female Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. Mosquito Feeding: Mosquito feedings will be conducted with Aedes aegypti colonies raised at the CNM (National Malaria Center) Malaria and Vector Research Laboratory (MVRL), an established state of the art insectaries for mosquitoes was built in 2014 to ACL2 (arthropodcontainment level 2)-level specifications.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 2 (48 hr post feeding)

Measurement of changes in the adaptive immune response and cellular recruitment in bitten skin versus unbitten skin by: a) immunohistochemistry of target proteins at Day 2 timepoints b) phenotyping of adaptive immune cell subsets in dissociated skin sample at Day 2 timepoints c) determination of cytokine profile in dissociated skin sample supernatant at Day 2 timepoints d) differential cDNA expression prepared from skin RNA and analyzed via RNASeq at Day 2 timepoints

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 14

Describing and understanding cellular immunity to Aedes saliva in heavily exposed individuals will simulate endemic conditions and will inform vaccine design in these target populations.
