Definitions
- the technical problem underlying the present invention is to provide an antigen presentation system on the basis of retroviral group specific antigens ⁇ gag) that can be used for the preventive and therapeutic immunization of mammals against infectious diseases or neoplasias.
- This invention particularly relates to a newly designed antigen delivery system produced in appropriate expression systems e.g. recombinant baculoviruses, semiiki forest viruses or stably transfected insect or mammalian cells, respectively.
- the invention is based on retroviral group specific antigens such as the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) Pr559 a 9 precursor protein constituing immature forms of retroviral particles when expressed in eucaryotic cells.
- HIV-1 human immunodeficiency virus type 1
- VLPs immature virus-like particles
- the immunogenicity of the immature virus-like particles can be extended by anchoring complete proteins on the surface of the VLPs. These proteins can either constitute autologous membrane proteins derived from the same retrovirus as the particulate gag carrier component or from any other virus, infectious agent or neopiastic cell. Stable anchoring of the autologous or "foreign" proteins on the surface of the VLPs requires the co-expression of the retroviral gag-precursor together with the antigen to be presented.
- the antigen to be presented must include an aminoterminal signal sequence as well as a transmembrane domain in order to allow transport of the antigen via endoplasmic reticulum to the cytoplasmic membrane and stable anchoring on the surface of the budding VLP.
- the mode of processing and presentation by antigen presenting cells determines which T-cell effector functions are specifically activated in an immune response to a protein antigen.
- APC antigen presenting cells
- proteins in the extracellular fluid or in the cell membrane enter the APC through the endocytic pathway to be denatured and proteolyticatly degraded to peptides 12-15 residues long in an acid milieu at a late endosomal stage.
- Peptides generated in this pathway bind to MHC class II molecules, transit to the APC surface, and selectively stimulate CD4+ T cells. Immunization with soluble protein antigens thus stimulate preferentially CD4+ T cells (Germain, 1991; Germain and Hendrix, 1991).
- CD8 + cytotoxic T lymphocytes are selectively stimulated in the alternative endogenous processing pathway.
- Intraceliuiar proteins are degraded to peptides of an optimal 8-15 residue size in the cytosol. These peptides are transported into the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) where they bind to nascent MHC class I heavy chain B2m microgiobulin dimers. This generates transport competent trimeric complexes that move rapidly by the default secretory route to the surface membrane of the APC.
- Peptides presented in the context of class I molecules stimulate selectively CD8+ T cells (Yewdell and Bennink, 1992; Townsend and Bodmer, 1989).
- Particulate carrier systems which were also demonstrated to induce CD8+, MHC class l-restricted cytotoxic T cells in vivo are mainly based on viral antigens or on the yeast TY-particles (Layton et al. 1993; Martin et al. 1993). These antigen presentation systems appear to evoke strong immune responses without need of additional adjuvants, but suffer from the presentation of a limited number of relevant "foreign" epitopes.
- VLPs noninfectious, morphologically immature HIV-1 retrovirus-like particles
- This concept follows the construction of Pr55-? a .? expression cassetts allowing the insertion of carefully selected epitopes from HIV reading frames other than gag. Resulting chimeric proteins should assemble into premature VLP when expressed in eucaryotic cells and allow the presentation of additional imunologically relevant epitopes. This concept also allowes to exclude epitopes suggested to be associated with adverse side effects such as induction of graft versus host-like diseases, antibodies enhancing the infection of CD4+ cells by HIV or gp120 mediated apoptosis.
- V3 specific CTL were not only found in splenocytes, but in lymphnodes when tested. Immunization of BALB/c mice with naked Pr55-?
- a /V3 VLP efficiently primed the CTL response in absence of adjuvant or replicating vector (69% specific lysis): In contrast VLP adsorbed to alum or emulsified in IFA only weakly stimulated CTL response (24%, 37% specific lysis).
- Pr559 a 9N3 recombinant vaccinia viruses the position of the V3-domain within different variants of chimeric VLP ⁇ Pr559 a 9/V3-3, Pr559 a 9/V3-4, Pr559 a 9N3-5) did not influence the induction of a V3-specific CTL response.
- the technical problem underlying the invention is to provide DNA sequences encoding authentic or modified polypeptides derived from HIV, or from any other virus, infectious agent or neoplastic cell which allow the presentation of the polypeptides on the surface of noninfectious retroviral virus-like particles (VLPs).
- VLPs noninfectious retroviral virus-like particles
- the present invention relates to the presentation of immunologicaily important epitopes, authentic or chimeric polypeptides via noninfectious retrovirus- like particles to the immune system.
- the retrovirus-like particulate carrier is encoded by the group specific antigen (gag) of a retrovirus being pathogenic to humans, subhuman primates or other mammals.
- the DNA sequence encoding the retrovirus- like particles is derived from any of the retroviruses HTLV-1 , HTLV-2, HIV-1 , HIV-2, SIV or FIV.
- gag polypeptid is pr555 a 5 of HIV-1.
- gag polypeptides spontaneously form said retrovirus-like particles.
- retrovirus-like particles which are composed by retroviral gag polypeptides are spiked by additional immunologicaily relevant peptides or proteins which are presented to the immune system.
- immunologicaily relevant peptides or proteins can be derived from any infectious agent or neoplastic cell.
- the proteins to be presented by the retrovirus-like particles represent authentic (occurring in nature) or chimeric (not occurring in nature) membrane proteins.
- these membrane antigens are derived from different viruses such as retroviruses or herpesviruses.
- the envelope proteins being anchored on the surface of a retrovirus-like particle are derived from any of the retroviruses HTLV-1 , HTLV-2, HIV-1. HIV-2, SIV or FIV or the Epstein-Barr (EBV) virus or the equine herpesvirus EHV. More specifically the antigen anchored on the surface of said retrovirus-like particles is the complete envelope protein gp160 of HIV-1 or the major membrane antigen of EBV gp220/350 or the herpes simplex virus gB homologue of EHV.
- the transmembrane and cytoplasmic domain of a given membrane protein may be replaced by a heterologous membrane anchor sequence.
- This heterologous transmembrane domain may be encoded by any viral envelope protein or cellular membrane protein.
- transmembrane domain including a short cytoplasmic tail is derived from the Epstein-Barr virus major membrane antigen gp220/350.
- the DNA sequence encoding the EBV gp220/350 transmembrane domain including a short cytoplasmic tail is fused by a short linker sequence encoding a flexible glycin/serin stretch to the DNA sequence encoding different derivatives of the HIV-1 external glycoprotein gp120.
- a 5 ' DNA sequence derived from the lnterieukin-3 (IL-3) gene and encoding the IL-3 signal peptide is connected via a short multiple cloning site with the DNA sequence encoding the glycin/serin linker and the EBV gp220/350 transmembrane anchor sequence.
- IL-3 lnterieukin-3
- the multiple cloning site allows the insertion of any other DNA sequence encoding an immunologicaily relevant protein.
- the NH 2 terminal fused IL-3 signal sequence induces the transport of the chimeric proteins via endoplasmic reticulum to the cytoplasmic membran upon expression of the construct in eucaryotic cells.
- Anchoring of said chimeric polypeptides in the cell membrane is achieved by the EBV gp220/350 transmembrane anchor sequence fused to the COOH-terminus of the chimeric polypeptides.
- retroviral gag polypeptides with authentic (occurring in nature) or chimeric (not occurring in nature) membrane proteins spontaneously leads to the formation retrovirus-like particles, which are spiked with the authentic or chimeric membrane proteins.
- said spiked retrovirus- like particies are secreted into the cell culture supematantallowing the recovery of the expression product from the medium.
- spiked retrovirus- like particles in a baculovirus dependent expression system in insect cells, (ii) in stably transfected Drosophila Schneider cells, (iii) in a Semliki-Forest virus driven expression system or (iv) in any other mammalian cell line such as CHO cells.
- Polyvalent antigens which contain at least one antigenic domain are suitable for diagnosis of a variety of infectious agents and neoplasias based on antibodies binding to the antigens presentet on the surface of retrovirus-like particles.
- Said recombinant VLPs represent a pharmaceutical composition delivering at least one antigenic domain suitable for prevention and therapy of a variety of infectious agents and neoplasias to the immune system by means of inducing a humoral and cell mediated immune response.
- VLPs represents a general method of preventing or treating HlV-infection. EBV-infection or EBV-related diseases and EHV-infection after administration to humans or horses in amounts sufficient to modulate or induce an immune response.

Immunoprecipitates were diluted in sample buffer (Sambrook et al., 1989), separated by electrophoresis on 10-12,5% SDS-polyacrylamide gels and transferred to nitrocellulose (Schleicher and Schuell) by electroblotting.
- the Pr559 a 9 precorsor has been co-immunoprecipitated only from peak fractions of the sucrose sedimentation analysis which were derived from supernatants of co-infected cells. This clearly indicates the gp160 or derivatives thereoff are exposed on the surface of the infected cells.
- co-expression of P ⁇ 559 a 9 with the wild type gp160 construct significantly reduces the exposition of the envelope protein if compared to the chimeric derivatives of gp120 (fig. 4 C, D).

Sera diluted 1 :10 to 1 :1000 in PBS with 3% FCS and 2% Tween-20 were added to the coated wells. After incubation for 2 hours at 37°C the plates were washed 5 times.
- Bound antibody was detected with horseradish peroxidase-conjugated anti-rabbit antibody (Dakopatts, Copenhagen, Denmark) at a dilution of 1 :1000, followed by incubation with o-phenylendiamine-0.01% hydrogen peroxide in phosphate buffered saline (pH 6.0). The reaction was stopped by adding 1 M H2SO4 and read at 492 nm. Values above the mean optical density +3 SD of negative controls were considered positive. All rabbits immunized with recombinant VLPs developed high titers of antibodies ranging from 1/64000 to the Pr55-? a -3 carrier component to 1/64000-1/32000 towards purified gp120. Only low titers (1/256) to a 36 amino acid peptide representing the homologous V3-peptide hav been detected.
- HIV-1 neutralisation assays Serial twofold dilutions of heat inactivated serum were incubated for 1.5 h at 37°C with 50 TCID50 of H ⁇ v " 1 HX10-strain produced on MT4 cells. The virus-serum mixture was incubated for 1 h at 37°C with 5x10 4 MT4 suspension cells. After virus adsorbtion, the unbound virus was removed and 100 ⁇ l of medium (RPMI-1640 supplemented with 10% FCS) was added to each well. 7 days p.i., 100 ⁇ l of supernatant medium was removed in order to quantify the amount of virions released from the cells using a commercial p24 sandwich assay (Abbott Laboratories, Chicago III.).
- Neutralisation titres were calculated by comparison with control wells of virus only and are expressed as the reciprocal of the highest serum dilution that inhibited p24 production and release by more than 90 %.
- Sera from rabbits obtained after 3 immunisations were used for the neutralisation assay. As shown in table 2 ail of the sera showed neutralization titers in a range of 1 :128 to 1 :256, depending to the Pr559 a 9/er,v preperation used for immunisation.
- Example 9 Induction of a cell mediated immune response by recombinant VLPs
- BALB/cJ mice H-2 d were immunized with 10 ⁇ g of the different gag/env hybrid VLP in complete absence of adjuvants or replicating vector.
- BALB/c mice were injected with 50 ⁇ g of a 16mer V3-peptide (RIQRGPGRAFVTIGKI) or 10 ⁇ g of Pr559 9 VLP only.
- Lymphoid cells were prepared from immuniced mice 6 days post immunisation and cocultivated with syngenic V3-16mer peptide labelled syngenic P815 cells, irradiated with 20000rad.
- a control group included unprimed BALB/c cells stimulated in vitro with V3 peptide labelled P815 cells. Cytotoxic effector cell populations were harvested after 5 days of in vitro culture. The cytotoxic response was determined against the syngenic target cell line A20 pulsed for 1 h with 10" 8 M V3-16mer peptide. Negative controls were not pulsed target A20 cells in a standard 51 Cr release test. Neither the synthetic V3- peptide nor Pr559 a 9 VLP were sufficient to prime an adequate V3-specific CTL response. A comparably weak CTL response could be demonstrated after administration of purified gp160 (fig.5).

- rAc17-11-gp14 rgp14 exressed in and purified from insect cells after infection with a gp14 recombinant baculovirus; (Osterrieder er al. 1994)) of VLP-gp14 (recombinant HIV-1 Pr559 a 9 VLPs presenting gp14 on their surface)
- pDES-gp14 DNA vaccine; pcDNA/Amp (Invitrogen) derived expression plasmid containing the EHV-1 gp14 without its transmembrane and cytoplasmic domain under the control of the CMV immediate early promotor; Osterrieder et al., in press
- the ELISA and NT antibody titres obtained for the specific gp14-formulations in immunized mice are summarized in table 3.
- the highest ELISA and NT antibody titres were observed after im. and inas. immunization with gp14-spiked VLPs.
- the ELISA antibody titres were even higher than those obtained after i.m. and i.nas. application of live EHV-1 virus (RacL11 ; RacH).
- Example 12 DTH response to recombinant gp14 induced by chimeric VLPs in comparison to other antigen formulations
- the DTH response after immunization with the various recombinants was assayed by determining the increase in ear thickness of two individual mice at different time points post inoculation (p. inoc.) of inactivated antigen into the ear pinna.
- p. inoc. time points post inoculation
- a readily detectable increase in ear thickness was observed in mice immunized with VLPs and the E.Coli derived gp14 (pCEP-8-gp14) via the i.m. and i.nas route. This reaction was decreasing at 48 h p.inoc.
- Example 13 Clinical observations in mice immunized with gp14 chimeric VLPs in comparison to other antigen formulations after challenge with wt- EHV-1
- mice were challenged inas with 106.5 PFU of EHV-1 wt strain RacL11. All mice immunized with BSA developed signs of illness such as ruffled fur, respiratory symptoms, and hunched posture associated with a dramatic loss of body weight of up to 23% by day 2 after challenge infection. Similar observations have been reported for EHV-1 strain Ab4 (Awan et al. 1990).
- mice immunized im with pDES1 DNA vaccine In contrast to others (Awan et al. 1990; Inazu et al. 1993), no deaths in BSA- immunized mice were observed after challenge infection and animals recovered from the weight losses by day 4/5 p.chall. but did not reach the preinfection weight until day 8 p.chall. In contrast, no or only a mild (up to 6%) decrease in the mean body weights was observed after challenge infection of mice immunized im with all recombinant gp 14 formulations and subsequent challenge infection. In mice immunized im with pDES1 DNA vaccine, however, one individual mouse exhibited ruffled fur, dyspnoea, and a body weight loss of 15% on Day 4 p.chall..
- pCEP-8- gp14- and pDES-1 immunized mice one and two individual animals, respectively, showed signs of illness and body weight losses of up to 20% after challenge infection was seen in mice previously infected inas with the live virus strains RacL11 or RacH (fig. 9).
- Example 14 Virus reisolation from mice immunized with gp14 chimeric VLPs in comparison to other antigen formulations after challenge with wt- EHV-1
- virus was recovered from lungs of two individual mice killed on days 1 , 3, 5 and 8 p. chall., respectively.
- virus titers recovered from lungs were higher compared to those after immunization with RacL, RacH or the VLPs, but we were not able to demonstrate any virus on day 5 p.chall..
- pCEP-8-gp14 E.Coli derived gp14
- protection against challenge infection appeared to be efficient after both im. and inas. immunization.
- the virus titres in lungs were in general comparable to those seen in insect cell derived gp14 (rAc17-11gp14) immunized mice and were also reduced significantly after i.m. and i.nas. immunization from day 3 p.chall. (p ⁇ 0.05).
- mice immunized with gp14-spiked VLPs both i.m. and i.nas. were found to be best protected against subsequent EHV-1 challenge.
- ° Serum antibody leveis were tested by ELISA three weeks after the second booster immunization and expressed u . reciprocal o the dilution that gave rise to one half the maximal density at 492 nm (midpoint tire). The antibody levels were determined against various antigens such as HIV-1 lysate. rp24, rgpl20 and a synthetic V3 peptide (36-mer). Titers below 1/16 were considered to be unspecific and reactions counted as negative. c Reciprocal of the highest serum dilution that inhibited p24 production by more than 90% 7 days p.i. were classified as neutralizine.
- Endpoint ELISA titers were determined with purified EHV-1 virions ( 1 ⁇ g/ml) by twofold log 2 dilutions of sera starting with a
- SN titers were determined on Rk-u cells with 50 TCID50 RacH and triplicate log 2 dilutions of sera inactivated at 56° for 30 min. No complement was added. Titers reflect the serum dilution with complete protection in all wells.
