Definitions

  • the invention relates to monoclonal antibodies, peptides that comprise the epitopes of said monoclonal antibodies and assays utilizing said monoclonal antibodies and said peptides for the detection of T- lymphotropic retroviruses, particularly HIV-1, HIV-2 and SIV.
  • the T-lymphotropic retrovirus family includes among other lentiviruses the simian retrovirus SIV and the human retroviruses HIV-1 (the likely etiologic agent of AIDS) and HIV-2. Although HIV-1 and HIV-2 are related evolutionally, nucleic acid sequence analysis reveals that HIV-2 is more closely related to SIV than it is to HIV-1. Guyader et al. (1987) noted only 42% overall genomi ⁇ sequence identity between the HIV-1 and HIV-2 isolates they compared.
  • HIV-1 and HIV-2 genomes have a typical retroviral configuration comprising LTR's, ⁇ a ⁇ and env regions that encode viral structural proteins, sequences encoding one or more enzyme, including a reverse transcriptase and other ORF's and regulatory elements.
  • the a ⁇ region of HIV-1 encodes a precursor peptide known as p55.
  • p55 is processed to produce among other proteins the major core or capsid protein known as p24.
  • the analogous crag precursor is larger, known as p57, and the major core protein is known as p26.
  • Guyader et al. (1987) found only 58% identity of amino acids between HIV-1 and HIV-2 crag proteins.
  • -_ Even among distant isolates of HIV-1 there is a greater than 90% identity of gag proteins. That and other data support the hypothesis that although HIV-1 and HIV-2 are somewhat related, they are nevertheless distinct retroviral species.
  • HIV-1 and possibly HIV-2 have such an impact on the human immune system, it is desirable, in fact imperative that sensitive, rapid diagnostic assays for detecting presence of HIV be available for population screening, quality control in blood banks, diagnosis, furtherance of our understanding of those viruses to assure the goal of obtaining a vaccine and cure, and the like. Because of ease and convenience, it is preferable that the assays be immunology-based, such as ELISA's, and for reproducibility, specificity and consistency that the reagents be monoclonal antibodies and defined antigenic peptides.
  • p24 antigenemia has been shown to be an early sign of HIV infection (Kessler et al., 1987; Wall et al., 1987) and the observation that clinical progression of AIDS sequelae is associated with reduction in anti-p24 while patients with AIDS can die with high levels of anti-env titers (Coates et al., 1987), it would be advantageous for the assay to be directed to detecting gag products such as p24/p26.
  • Minassian et al. described a monoclonal antibody identified as R1C7 that was raised against HIV-2.
  • R1C7 an anti-capsid antibody (p26) , reacted not only with the three HIV-2 isolates tested, but with the five HIV-l ' isolates and seven SIV isolates that were tested.
  • p26 an anti-capsid antibody
  • R1C7 bound to 55KD and 26KD HIV-2 proteins, to 24KD and 55KD HIV-l proteins and to a 28KD SIV protein.
  • Niedrig et al. developed a panel of 29 monoclonal antibodies to HIV-l.
  • One antibody was directed to pl7 and its precursor p32 whereas the remainder reacted with p24 and some of those also reacted with p55.
  • the pl7 antibody was found to be HIV-l specific.
  • 20 reacted in immunoblots with the corresponding capsid protein (p 6) of HIV-2 and five of those also recognized the corresponding SIV protein, p28.
  • Niedrig et al. make no mention of antibody titer, the efficacy of the antibodies in a antigen capture assay or which of the antibodies bind to p26, p55 or both.
  • several of antibodies reacted with a 22KD protein of unknown function in HIV-2 preparations.
  • the assays use a variety of techniques such as Western blot, enzyme- linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) or indirect immuno- fluorescent assay and employ either antibodies to whole virus or purified viral antigens, see for example, Gallo et al., U.S. Patent No. 4,520,113; Sarngadharan, et al., (1984); and Robert-Guroff et al.

  • Monoclonal antibodies were produced according to established procedures (Kohler & Milstein, 1975) .
  • mice Female BALB/c mice were immunized intraperitoneally repeatedly with lysates of HIV-l infected MOLT 3 cells emulsified in complete Freund's adjuvant (50%) . Sensitized spleen cells were fused with P3X63-Ag8.653 myeloma cells using PEG 1500. Heterokaryons were selected in HAT medium, cloned and screened for reactivity to HIV antigens in a capture ELISA. The IgG fraction of polyclonal human anti-HIV was coated onto wells of icrotiter dishes. HIV-l (produced in MOLT 3 cells) and culture supernatants were added simultaneously to the wells. Bound murine antibodies were detected with an enzyme-labelled anti- mouse Ig antibody. Data representative of the screening is depicted in Figure 1. Designation of the sample numbers is set forth in Table 1.
  • Candidate anti-HIV clones were tested further in Western blots (Towbin et al., 1979). Lysates of HIV- infected MOLT 3 cells were separated through a 12% acrylamide gel under denaturing conditions. The proteins were transferred to nitrocellulose and individual strips were blocked and reacted with the culture supernatants. Bound antibody was detected using an enzyme-labelled goat anti-mouse Ig antibody. Antibodies reacting specifically with p24 were selected ( Figure 2) . Designation of the strips is set forth in Table 2. Table 2

  • the gag region and portions of gag were subcloned in an expression vector. Briefly, viral DNA of a bacteriophage (cDNA library HIV-l ⁇ ., clone HAT 3 (Starcich et al., (1986)) was digested with EcoRI and by ligation into the pBR322- derived plasmid pMLB1113 to produce a plasmid identified as clone 29 which contained the EcoRI/SstI gag/pol ORF. Clone 29 was digested with SstI to remove extraneous vector sequences and religated to produce plasmid gag/pol 1.2.
  • This latter plasmid was sonicated, blunt- ended and ligated with EcoRI linkers. The mixture was then digested with EcoRI. ligated into AORF8 (Meissner et al. 1987) and packaged.
  • a AORF8 expression library was generated in E. coli and screened with a human anti- HIV polyclonal antibody and a mouse anti-p24 (HIV-l) monoclonal antibody. The positives were selected, expanded and the expressed peptides were characterized by Western blotting, immunoassay and nucleotide sequencing. The recombinant p24 peptides gag 8, gag 126, gag 107 and gag 141 were expressed in E. coli.
  • clone 29 was used as a template and oligonucleotides corresponding to the 5" and 3' ends of the published sequence were used in a polymerase chain reaction to generate a complete sequence of the gag protein p24.
