Many viruses have evolved mechanisms to evade detection by the host immune system. The herpes simplex gene ICP47 encodes a protein that binds to the host antigen-processing transporter, inhibiting the formation of major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC-I) antigens in infected cells. MHC-I antigen expression is also important in acute allograft rejection. This study was designed to quantitate the effect of adenoviral-mediated gene transfer of ICP47 on MHC-I cell surface expression of human vascular cells. We hypothesized that the transduction of vascular cells with a replication-incompetent adenoviral vector that was expressing ICP47 (AdICP47) would inhibit constitutive and inducible MHC-I expression and thereby reduce the rate of cytolysis of ICP47-transduced vascular cells by sensitized cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL).
