description [Background] Vaccines represent one of the most affordable and efficient tools for controlling infectious diseases; however, the development of efficacious vaccines against complex pathogens remains a major challenge. Adjuvants play a relevant role in enhancing vaccine-induced immune responses. One such molecule is interferon-stimulated gene 15 (ISG15), a key modulator of antiviral immunity that acts both through ISGylation-dependent mechanisms and as a cytokine-like molecule.

Adjuvants play a relevant role in enhancing vaccine-induced immune responses. One such molecule is interferon-stimulated gene 15 (ISG15), a key modulator of antiviral immunity that acts both through ISGylation-dependent mechanisms and as a cytokine-like molecule.[Methods] In this study, we assessed the immunostimulatory potential of ISG15 as an adjuvant in Modified Vaccinia virus Ankara (MVA)-based vaccine candidates targeting Zika virus (ZIKV) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Early innate responses and immune cell infiltration were analyzed in immunized mice by flow cytometry and cytokine profiling. To elucidate the underlying mechanism of action of ISG15, in vitro co-infection studies were performed in macrophages. Finally, we evaluated the magnitude and functional quality of the elicited antigen-specific cellular immune responses in vivo.[Results] Analysis of early innate responses revealed both platform- and variant-specific effects. ISG15AA preferentially promoted natural killer (NK) cell recruitment at the injection site, whereas ISG15GG enhanced myeloid cell infiltration in draining lymph nodes (DLNs), particularly when delivered via MVA. Moreover, in vitro co-infection of macrophages with MVA-based vaccine vectors and the ISG15AA mutant led to a marked increase in proinflammatory cytokine production, highlighting a dominant role for the extracellular, ISGylation-independent functions of ISG15 in shaping vaccine-induced immunity. Notably, co-infection of ISG15 with MVA-ZIKV and MVA-SARS-CoV-2 vaccine candidates enhanced the magnitude of antigen-specific immune responses in both vaccine models.[Conclusions] ISG15, particularly in its ISGylation-deficient form, acts as a promising immunomodulatory adjuvant for viral vaccines, enhancing both innate and adaptive immune responses. Consistent with previous findings in the context of Human Immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) vaccines, this study further supports the potential of ISG15 as an effective adjuvant for vaccines targeting viral infections such as ZIKV and SARS-CoV-2.This research was supported by the Spanish State Research Agency SAF-2017-88089-R, PDC2021-121307-I00, and PID2020-117425RB-C21 to S.G; PID2020-117425RB-C22 to C.E.G; CSIC grant 202120E079 and grant CNS2022-135511, funded by the Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities (MCIU)/Spanish Research Agency (AEI)/10.130/501100011033 and by the European Union NextGenerationEU/PRTR to promote the consolidation of research to J.G.-A; CSIC grant 2020E84 to M.E.; Spanish MCIU/AEI/10.13039/501100011033 grant PID2020-114481RB-I00 to J.G.-A. and M.E., and funds from the Centro de Investigación Biomédica en Red de Enfermedades Infecciosas (CIBERINFEC), co-financed with FEDER funds to C.E.G and J.G.-A.
