Overview

The tetanus-CMV fusion peptide vaccine is a candidate therapeutic and prophylactic vaccine designed to elicit cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) responses against cytomegalovirus (CMV), particularly in immunocompromised individuals such as hematopoietic cell transplant recipients. It consists of the HLA A*0201-specific CMV pp65(495-503) cytotoxic CD8+ T-cell epitope fused to a universal T-helper epitope derived from the natural tetanus toxin sequence. This design aims to enhance both helper and cytotoxic T-cell responses for improved protection against CMV infection or reactivation[1][5][3]. Clinical trials have demonstrated its safety and ability to expand pp65(495-503)-specific T cells, especially when coadministered with the adjuvant PF03512676[1][5]. The primary indication is prevention or control of CMV complications in high-risk populations.
