Description

The vaccine of the Lyme disease in treatment Canis familiaris L. and method
Technical field
The invention belongs to veterinary medicine field.More particularly, the invention belongs to the field of the vaccine of the Lyme disease (Lyme disease) in treatment or prevention Canis familiaris L..
Background technology
Lyme disease is by the microbial bacteriological infection of pathogenicity spiral of Borrelia (genus Borrelia).Infection can occur in the mankind, Canis familiaris L., deer, mice and other animal, and is propagated by arthropod carrier (it should be noted that hard Ticks belongs to the Ticks worm of (genus Ixodes) most).Borrelia burgdoyferi, the modal Lyme disease cause of disease in North America, cultivated in first time nineteen eighty-two.Burgdorferi is introduced into host at the position that Ticks insect bite is hindered and this position is also the position of initial characteristics dermatoses stove (erythema chronicum migrans (erythema chronicum migrans)).In Canis familiaris L., Lyme disease shows as limping that arthritis causes, apositia, heating, drowsiness, lymph node pathological change and lethal glomerule nephritis in some cases.Nearest research shows, in endemic area, the percentage ratio of the Canis familiaris L. of active infection can up to 11%.
Antibiotic (as penicillin, erythromycin, tetracycline and ceftriaxone (ceftriaxone)) can be used at any time to treat infect.But once occur infecting, medicine just may not remove the host of spirillum, and only can play the effect of the chronic form controlling disease.As the complication such as arthritis and fatigue can continue the several years after Diagnosis and Treat.
Exploitation canine lyme disease vaccine with by mainly induce OspA spirillum acid antibody protection is provided.Borrelia burgdoyferi (B.burgdorferi) OspC is another for the potential target of the antibody-mediated immunity of spirillum acid.This protein seems to have the epitope of responsible inducing cycloidic body acid antibody, and is not conservative in pathogenic Borrelia.Although the concrete function of OspC protein is not yet known, mammalian infections is proposed but not Ticks insect infection needs OspC to express.Burgdorferi just expresses OspC soon after Ticks worm starts feed, and must infect to be formed in mammal by continuous expression OspC.Therefore, compared with OspA spirillum acid antibody, " the effect window " of OspC spirillum acid antibody significantly increases.
People's (United States Patent (USP)s the 6th such as Callister (Callister); 210; No. 676 and the 6th; 464; No. 985, being incorporated herein by reference) suggestion uses the immunogenic polypeptide fragment (separately or with OspA polypeptides in combination) of OspC to prepare vaccine and exempts to suffer from Lyme disease protect the mankind and other mammal.People's (United States Patent (USP) the 6th, 872, is incorporated herein by reference by No. 550) such as Lai Fuli (Livey) also propose by the combination of recombinant type OspA, OspB and OspC protein for the preparation of vaccine Lyme disease being realized to immunity.
But, before the successful vaccine of generation, need to overcome at least two obstacles.First, exist more than 20 kinds of OspC system type, and it be unclear that in vaccine to comprise which system type.Secondly, the suitable antigen of the development determining the anti-OspC antibody of spirillum acid is needed to determine base.
Therefore, still need the vaccine through improveing for protecting mammal in the art for a long time, and get on very well especially, dog, exempts to suffer from Lyme disease.

In extensive, the invention provides the immunogenic composition of the antibody of OspA and the OspC protein can induced for Borrelia burgdoyferi.Therefore, compositions will comprise two kinds of protein: the first protein comprising OspA or its fragment, and the second protein comprising OspC protein or its fragment.In certain embodiments, the second protein is the chimeric protein of multiple fragments of the OspC protein comprising different system type.
In certain embodiments, first protein comprises the fragment (SEQ IDNO:2) (MGKQNVSSLDEKNSVSVDLPGEMNVLVSKEKNKDGKYDLIATVDKLELKGTSDKNN GSGVLEGVKADKSKVKLTISDDLGQTTLEVFKEDGKTLVSKKVTSKDKSSTEEKFN EKGEVSEKIITRADGTRLEYTEIKSDGSGKAKEVLKSYVLEGTLTAETTLVVKEGT VTLSKNISKSGEVSVELNDTDSSAATKKTAAWNSGTSTLTITVNSKKTKDLVFTKE NTITVQQYDSNGTKLEGSAVEITKLDEIKNALK) of OspA protein, it is virus protein (the such as fragment of influenza virus NS 1 protein matter immediately, it is SEQ IDNO:3 (MDPNTVSSFQVDSFLWHVRKRVADQELGDAPFLDRLRRDQKSLRGRGSTLGLDIET ATRAGKQIVERILKEESDEALKMT)) downstream.That it can produce anti-OspA antibody in vaccinated animal to an important requirement of the first protein.Therefore, without the need to the full length sequence of OspA fragment, and also without the need to consistent with SEQ IDNO:2100%.
As in subject application pointed by other place, 95% sequence identity may be enough to provide suitable antibody production.Different aminoacids can be that conservative replaces, and/or the immunodominant antigen being positioned at OspA fragment determines the outside of base.
In other embodiments, shorter OspA fragment can be used.By knowing, how those of ordinary skill in the art determines which OspA fragment contains the immunodominant antigen that can produce spirillum acid antibody and determines base.
The present inventor surprisingly finds, comprise the fragment of (holding C to hold from N) influenza virus NS-1 protein, the first protein then removing the OspA protein of signal sequence is particularly useful for immunogenic composition of the present invention.
Popular in the aggressive Lyme disease of which kind of system type in Canis familiaris L. that prior art studies undeclared OspC.Major part research is carried out to human sample.It is K and A that the people such as Jones (Jones) are reported in the most popular system type found in the joint fluid of the scorching patient of human joint, and typically, and find system type A, B, C, D, H, K, N.Arthritis and Rheumatism (ArthritisRheum) 200960 (7) 2174.The people such as her grace Hart (Earnhart) find system type A, B, I, K, C, D, N in blood and/or CSF sample.Immunology of infection (Infect Immun.) 200573 (12): 7869.System type A, B, I and K are typically associated with the aggressive form of Lyme disease in the mankind by other research.
But unexpected discovery is in Canis familiaris L., and most popular system type is OspC F, and it is all not relevant to the aggressive form of Lyme disease in the mankind or Canis familiaris L. before this.System type N, it is relevant to the aggressive Lyme disease in the mankind, also relevant to the aggressive Lyme disease in Canis familiaris L..In addition, the present inventor finds system type T and U, not relevant to the aggressive Lyme disease in the mankind before this, may cause the aggressive Lyme disease in Canis familiaris L..
According to some embodiments, the second protein contains the immunoreactive immunodominant antigen that can produce for different OspC protein system type and determines base.More particularly, the second protein of immunogenic composition required in the present invention is chimeric protein, and its immunodominant antigen comprising OspC system type F and N determines base.Immunodominant antigen determines that base can in ring as discussed below and/or helical peptides form, or it can be present in the comparatively large fragment of target OspC protein.The suitable limiting examples of this kind of fragment is SEQ IDNO:32 (NNSGKDGNTSANSADESVKGPNLTEISKKITESNAVVLAVKEIETLLSSIDELATK AIGQKIDANGLGVQANQNGSLLAGAYAISTLITQKLSALNSEDLKEKVAKVKKCSE DFTNKLKNGNAQLGLAAATDDNAKAAILKTNGTNDKGAKELKDLSDSVESLVKAAQ VMLTNSVKELTSPVVAESPKKP), and it is the fragment of OspC system type F protein matter.
Previous research shows, the conserved domains (namely in different system type conservative) comprising OspC protein is for mice and the mankind but not to produce in Canis familiaris L. for anti-burgdorferi antibody be important.See people such as Loverich (Lovrich), clinical and vaccine immunity (Clin.and VaccineImmunol.) in May, 2007,635-637 page.But the more long segment that the present inventor surprisingly finds to add a kind of OspC system type (such as system type F) is favourable and therefore can make more effectively to produce the second protein to expression.
The people such as Bu Kesi (Buckles) prove the surface of the ring 5 of OspC protein expose to the open air and can be produce spirillum acid antibody suitable targets.Clinical vaccine immunology (Clin VaccineImmunol.) in October, 2006; 13 (10): 1162-5.Also see WO09135118.But, consider at least 21 kinds of system type (people such as Sai Nuosite (Seinost), immunology of infection (Infect Immun.) in the July, 1999 that describe OspC; 67 (7): 3518-241999), still need to determine which kind of combination provides the appropriate protection for Lyme disease.
Therefore, in certain embodiments, the Linear antigenic that the second protein comprises from ring 5 district (cyclic peptide) of the OspC protein of different system type and spiral 5 district (spiral 5 peptide) determines base.The system type of current consideration is T, U, E, A, B, K, I, H, N, C, M, D and F.Therefore the second protein can comprise ring from 2-13 the system type (such as 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13 system type) of OspC and helical peptides.The order of peptide is unimportant.In certain embodiments, cyclic peptide is by helical peptides interval, and vice versa.In other words, ring and helical peptides are continuous arrangements: in this kind of embodiment, should there is not the situation that there is not helical peptides between two cyclic peptide in the second protein, and should not there is cyclic peptide between two helical peptides.
How those of ordinary skill in the art determines to determine base from the ring region of different OspC system type and the immunodominant antigen of coil region by knowing.For example, serum from the person under inspection of the B. barrgdorferi infection by different system type can react with from the ring region of corresponding system type and the specific peptide of coil region, and can carry out quantitatively (such as by ELISA, immunoblotting etc.) the combination of the antibody existed in serum and cyclic peptide and/or helical peptides, the clue which peptide to contain the immundominance Linear antigenic decision base from set OspC system type about is provided thus.
Similarly, the spirillum acid activity of antibody can be measured by method well known in the art, such as usual by will the Borrelia burgdoyferi of cultivation be passed through and carry out the serum incubation that personal immundominance Linear antigenic as described above determines the person under inspection that base is attacked, and to quantitatively carrying out with dead burgdorferi of living.

Result
The analysis of Borrelia burgdoyferi sickness rate from the Ticks worm that Rhode Island is collected. use direct fluorescence microscopy, the ixodes scapularis from southern Rhode Island on-site collection measuring about 50% infects Borrelia burgdoyferi.This is consistent with the Ticks insect infection rate previously reported in this region.
B. barrgdorferi infection in the Canis familiaris L. occurred by Ticks insect infection. when this research starts, using SNAP 4DX analytic process (IDEXX), by immunoblotting assay with by using Borrelia burgdoyferi, confirming that all Canis familiaris L.s are seronegativity.In order to infect Canis familiaris L. with Borrelia burgdoyferi by natural propagation approach, Canis familiaris L. health is supported the Ticks worm of on-site collection.Because the infection rate in Ticks worm is about 50%, the Ticks worm (0,25,50 or 75) increasing number is placed on Canis familiaris L. health.Within the 49th day after Ticks insect infection, collect blood serum sample and assess immune state.In the Canis familiaris L. being subject to Ticks insect infection, 10 in 11 Canis familiaris L.s is seropositivity to Borrelia burgdoyferi.All negative control Canis familiaris L.s (not by Ticks insect infection) are seronegativity.The skin biopsy body collected from every Canis familiaris L. is extracted STb gene and with ospC and flaB primer collection, is tested by PCR for Borrelia burgdoyferi.All seropositivity Canis familiaris L.s produce ospC and the flaB amplicon estimating size.All seronegativity Canis familiaris L.s are all negative in PCR to two kinds of genes.
The multifarious analysis of OspC in the bacterial strain found in infected Canis familiaris L. tissue. in order to measure the ospC genotype being deposited in the bacterial strain be exposed in the dog skin skin of Ticks worm, by the DNA extracted from skin biopsy body, pcr amplification is carried out to ospC.Plasmid will be bred in gained amplicons cloned to pET46Ek/LIC in escherichia coli.Then from being no less than 5 independently escherichia coli colony separation quality grains and measure ospC sequence.Sequence is aimed at and dendrogram construction (Fig. 1) shows that in 10 Canis familiaris L.s 6 merely hit, and produces the persistency (table 1) of the bacterial strain of some different ospC types.Because use multiple Ticks insect infections every Canis familiaris L., so this observed result is not unexpected.Differentiate OspC type A, B, F, I and N, wherein type F and N is most popular (being respectively 7 in 10 Canis familiaris L.s 5 and 10 Canis familiaris L.s).
In order to define the genotypic scope of the ospC existed in infected Canis familiaris L. further, be coated with culture from skin biopsy body to produce clonal population.By this method, the bacterial strain of the expression ospC type do not detected by the PCR of biopsy body sample can be differentiated.Then indivedual Borrelia burgdoyferi colony (Fig. 2) is tested by PCR for ospC.In 6 Canis familiaris L.s 3 merely hit differentiates other ospC type.Previously do not differentiated two kinds of OspC types differentiated, it all derives from same Canis familiaris L..These system type are expressed as DRI85a and DRI85e.Other ospC type differentiated by this method comprises type E, F, H, I, N, U and T (table 1).In general, in these are analyzed, 11 kinds of different OspC types are altogether detected.
From the OspC type of sequencing biopsy body and clone and separate thing in each group, table 1. and every only indivedual Canis familiaris L..
In this research, the present inventor is determined in Canis familiaris L. successfully to cause and infects and the ospC genotype of the Lyme disease spirillum bacterial strain retained.The health of laboratory Canis familiaris L. is supported the ixodes scapularis from Rhode Island on-site collection and the ospC genotype of the bacterial strain existed mensuration skin after 49 days.The OspC type that discriminating 11 kinds is different altogether.OspC type F (previously not detecting in the mankind) is the OspC type (50% infected Canis familiaris L.) the most frequently detected.Few type B, N and U occurred in the mankind also detected.Two kinds of ospC types (DRI85a and DRI85e) previously do not defined also are reclaimed.The multiformity observed in this research is consistent with research comparatively early, and described research shows to keep some ospC system type in endemicity Borrelia burgdoyferi colony.Because the Ticks worm for this research is collected from single geographic area, so the bacterial strain of probably expressing other OspC type well do not presented in Rhode Island also can infect Canis familiaris L..Do not consider this supplemental instruction, first this research prove that previous not relevant to human infection OspC type can infect Canis familiaris L. effectively, therefore contributes to the appropriate design of canine lyme disease vaccine of new generation.
In example 2. Canis familiaris L., recombinant type is fitted together to effect of Borrelia burgdoyferi OspC/OspA vaccine.
Select 30 Canis familiaris L.s being all in good general health situation for research.Blood sample was collected before initial vaccination.Canis familiaris L. accepts the one in following vaccine, described by middle table 2: T01:PBS (reference product); T02:20 mcg/ml OspA+30 mcg/ml A12CF (SEQ ID NO:31); T03:20 mcg/ml OspA+30 mcg/ml A10CF (SEQ ID NO:30).(A12CF is made up of the epitope from multiple OspC system type, and it is joined together to form single polypeptide.A10CF is also made up of the epitope from multiple OspC system type; The design class of its design and A12CF seemingly.) Canis familiaris L. vaccination twice when 8 week age and 11 week age, and then accepted attack when 14 week age.After vaccination, observe the reaction in Canis familiaris L. or extremely last 20 minutes.Observed swelling, pain, heating, the abscess of injection site at the 1st, 2,3 and 22,23,24 day, suppurate.Be that every Canis familiaris L. is equipped with Elizabethan [E] neck in storing Ticks worm the previous day, and the action of monitoring Canis familiaris L. when Elizabethan's neck is in correct position, feed and drinking-water ability.The rear dorsal line of 20 to the 40 adult ixodes scapularises collected from Northeastern United States (male, female) along every bar Canis familiaris L. is put, and lasts 7 to 10 days and carry out feeding until full.Collect blood serum sample and skin biopsy body in the interval of regulation, and carry out analyzing to monitor infection.Collect full or that do not adhere to, non-viable Ticks worm and store at 4 DEG C.At the end of attack, remove and store remaining Ticks worm, and according to labelling with surperficial acaricide process Canis familiaris L., then carrying out second time after 30 days and use.Observe overall physical appearance and the state of Canis familiaris L. every day.Carry out clinical observation (walking lamely and ataxia); If observe any one, so measure/record the body temperature (tympanic temperature) of Canis familiaris L. every day until clinical symptom disappears.Receive by Ticks worm and based on Subsequent infection, carry out blood collecting and skin biopsy (except the difference of schedule/sequential) according to agreement.Back cervical vertebra district gathers perforated skin biopsy body near general Ticks worm attachment area, and timing is with consistent with blood collecting.Final biopsy body is gathered immediately after euthanasia and before postmortem.
Table 2. research design
Result
After vaccination, in any Canis familiaris L., do not observe reaction or abnormal, and there is not any exception (swelling, pain, heating, abscess, suppurate) in injection site place yet.The body temperature of tympanum probe measurement is used not show remarkable or lasting rising.In two Canis familiaris L.s carrying out vaccination with A12CF+OspA (T02), occur that discontinuity is walked lamely, and a Canis familiaris L. in non-vaccination group (T01) walked lamely at 192-193 days.During studying, in any Canis familiaris L., do not observe ataxia.During studying, in some Canis familiaris L.s, observe abnormal health event, comprise pyoderma, bite, abrade, loose stool, external otitis etc., but all not owing to vaccine or vaccination.
At the 146th day, observe serological reaction in a Canis familiaris L. in 8 in 10 contrasts Canis familiaris L. (T01) and T02, represent active B. barrgdorferi infection.9 contrasts Canis familiaris L. (T01) were positive serology at the 177th day, and all Canis familiaris L.s in T01 are positive at the end of research.By contrast, terminate from the 177th day to research, in each vaccination group, only a Canis familiaris L. is positive.
For the Ticks worm studied through Borrelia burgdoyferi and limit worm double infection.The result of serological analysis shows that limit worm is successfully propagated to Canis familiaris L. by Ticks worm.This supports that vaccine constructs (T02, T03) is only for the specificity of Borrelia burgdoyferi.
In all skies, except except the OspC that the 146th day compares T01 and T02, when comparing T01 and T02 and comparing T01 and T03, ELISA value (being expressed as the geometric mean titer for each in OspA and OspC) significantly different (table 3).
The ELISA geometric average OspA in each group, table 3. and each stage, OspC
Borrelia burgdoyferi organism of living is had in specific ELISA to the blood serum sample analyzed and collect from the Canis familiaris L. (A12CF+OspA) contrasted Canis familiaris L. (T01) and T02 during attack after-stage.The geometric mean titer that T01 contrasts T02 is: the 146th day, 90 to 6; 177th day, 116 to 7; With the 198th day, 87 to 7.Therefore, these results support that vaccine is for the protective effect of Borrelia burgdoyferi.
For living, spirillum cultivates skin punctures biopsy samples.In T01 group, within the 146th day, there are 4 Canis familiaris L.s and within the 177th day, have 5 Canis familiaris L.s to be that culture is positive.A Canis familiaris L. is had to have spirillum positive skin culture at the 177th day in each in T02 and T03.At the end of research, do not obtain positive culture from any group.At the 146th day, also use flaB and ospC Auele Specific Primer for whether there is Borrelia burgdoyferi to assess skin punctures biopsy body.There are 5 Canis familiaris L.s in T01 to flaB for positive, and have 3 Canis familiaris L.s to ospC for positive.Canis familiaris L. is all there is not to arbitrary PCR reaction for positive in T02 or T03.
Joint and skin biopsy microscopy show that the vaccination of T02 or T03 vaccine can be protected from infection (data do not show).The joint of vaccinated Canis familiaris L. and the change of skin less, joint and change of skin can be used as the feature of Lyme disease.If there is this kind of change, so when with compared with the not vaccinated tissue contrasting Canis familiaris L. time, its seriousness in vaccinated Canis familiaris L. is lower.Based on the number (in T02 6 of Canis familiaris L. that there is focus in joint; In T03 7), two kinds of vaccine (T02; T03) exist slightly different between.But, the decisive conclusion that better protection about which kind of construct is provided cannot be drawn.
In a word, A12CF+OspA (T02) and A10CF+OspA (T03) all can available protecting Canis familiaris L. from the B. barrgdorferi infection propagated by ixodes scapularis.
