Description

Vaccine composition against severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus
Technical Field
The invention relates to a vaccine composition for severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus.
Background
Febrile with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) is an infectious disease caused by infection with the virus of febrile with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTSV). Since the first report in china in 2009, there have been relevant case reports in asian countries such as china, korea, japan, and vietnam. STFSV comprises as a genome three segmented ribonucleic acids (RNAs) encoding an RNA polymerase (RdRp), two envelope glycoproteins (Gn, Gc), a Nucleocapsid (NP), and a nonstructural protein (NS). When the virus is infected, fever, gastrointestinal complications, leukopenia and thrombocytopenia are accompanied, and the fatality rate reaches 5-20 percent (Lancet infection Dis 2018,18,1127, 1137, doi:10.1016/S1473-3099(18) 30293-7). There is no therapeutic agent so far and vaccine development is underway.
STFS vaccine development is currently in the early research stage, and recently reports have been made on the fact that Vaccines or deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) Vaccines using recombinant viral vectors can provide protective immunity in animal models of infection (NPJ Vaccines 2019,4,5, doi:10.1038/s 41541-018-0096-y; Nat Commun 2019,10,3836, doi:10.1038/s 41467-019-11815-4). It has been confirmed that vaccines using NS can induce the formation of antibodies, but do not provide protective immunity in a mouse infection model (Viral Immunol 2015,28,113-122, doi: 10.1089/vim.2014.0100). It has been reported that when micromanipulation is used to immunize against DNA encoding NP as well as NS genes, specific T cell responses of the antigen can be induced, but there is currently no way to determine whether protective immunity can be provided in animal infection models (Colloids Surf B Biointerfaces 2017,159,54-61, doi:10.1016/j. colsurffb.2017.07.059). Recently, there is a report that formation of neutralizing antibodies can be induced when a recombinant virus (rVSV) expressing Gn and Gc proteins is immunized once, and perfect protective immunity can be induced in a knock-out (KO) mouse infected with STFSV of a lethal dose (NPJ Vaccines 2019,4,5, doi:10.1038/s 41541-018-. Furthermore, it has been reported that when DNAs expressing five genes of SFTSV, respectively, are simultaneously immunized, when two DNAs encoding Gn and Gc are simultaneously immunized, and when three DNAs encoding NP, NS, and RdRp are simultaneously immunized, it is possible to provide immunoprotection against lethal infection of aged weasel (over four years old) susceptible to SFTSV (Nat Commun 2019,10,3836, doi:10.1038/s 41467-019-11815-4). However, no report has been made so far on what degree of protective immunity can be provided when each of the structural proteins (Gn, Gc, NP) is immunized, and no research results have been published on the efficacy of subunit protein vaccines using the proteins.
The invention discloses vaccine efficacy of Gn protein, Gc protein and NP protein.
Detailed Description
Technical problem
The purpose of the present invention is to provide a vaccine composition against SFTS virus, which uses Gn protein, Gc protein and NP protein.
Other and specific objects of the present invention will be described in the following.
Means for solving the problems
As shown in the following examples, the present inventors comparatively verified whether recombinant units (Gn-Fc and Gc-Fc) fusing extracellular domains (extracellular domains) of Gn or Gc proteins to the Fc portion of human antibodies and NP proteins (full-length sequence proteins) could immunize first-type interferon receptor KO mice alone and provide immunoprotection. As a result, all mice immunized with Gc-Fc protein died, but the survival time was statistically increased compared to the control group (group immunized with Fc alone), and it was confirmed that 50% of the mice immunized with Gn-Fc protein survived and 60% of the mice immunized with NP protein survived, respectively, thereby providing significant protective immunity effects. In addition, when the first type interferon receptor KO mouse was immunized after the Gn-Fc and Gc-Fc were mixed with NP and whether the protective immunity was elevated or not was confirmed, the survival rate was improved in the case of the mixed immunity of Gc-Fc and NP by 80%, in the case of the mixed immunity of Gn-Fc and NP by 70%, and in the case of the mixed immunity of Gn-Fc and Gc-Fc and NP by 60%, thereby confirming that the survival rate was improved in the case of the mixed immunity as a whole as compared with the case of the single immunity.
The present invention is based on the above-described experimental results, and the vaccine composition of the present invention relates to a vaccine composition against SFTS virus, which contains, as an active ingredient, the extracellular domain of Gc protein, the extracellular domain of Gn protein, the full-length NP protein, or a mixture of two or more thereof.
In the present invention, particularly, the extracellular domain of the Gc protein or the extracellular domain of the Gn protein may be fused to the Fc region of a human antibody in order to enhance the in vivo half-life, and in the case of fusion with Fc, a hinge (hinge) sequence having 2 to 15 amino acids may be arranged in order to prevent the fusion proteins from interfering with the formation of a three-dimensional structure therebetween. In addition, in order to produce the protein as described above by using a host cell by means of gene recombination, isolation and purification can be more easily achieved by disposing a signal peptide (signal peptide) sequence at the N-terminal as described in the following examples. Since the sequence as described above is removed when the corresponding protein is secreted to the outside of the cell, it is not present in the isolated and purified protein.
In the present specification, "vaccine" refers to prevention of infection or re-infection of a corresponding pathogen, reduction or elimination of symptoms caused by the corresponding pathogen, or substantial or complete elimination of the corresponding pathogen or a disease caused by the corresponding pathogen by inducing an immune response to the corresponding pathogen in a host, i.e., a human. Thus, the vaccine composition of the present invention may be administered to a human for prophylactic purposes prior to infection with the corresponding pathogen, or for therapeutic purposes after infection with the corresponding pathogen. Wherein the "immune response" refers to a humoral immune response, a cellular immune response, or both.
In addition, in the present specification, the "active ingredient" refers to an ingredient that can induce an immune response alone or together with a carrier that cannot induce an immune response by itself. Thus, the active ingredient itself need not be immunogenic (capable of inducing an immune response). In the present invention, the active ingredient is preferably, but not necessarily, purified. The term "purified" as used herein means a state in which cell components, culture medium components thereof, and the like (which are contaminants) in the original organism (i.e., the microorganism transformed with the microorganism of the present invention) in which the corresponding target substance is present are substantially reduced or removed. The state where the contaminants are substantially reduced or removed means that the purity is 50% or more, preferably 90% or more, and more preferably 99% or more. The purity can be evaluated by a method known in the related art such as chromatography column, gel electrophoresis, and immunological analysis, and the purification method can be a method known in the related art to be described later.
The vaccine composition of the present invention can be manufactured in any suitable and pharmaceutically acceptable formulation. For example, the composition may be prepared in the form of a solution or suspension for extemporaneous administration, a concentrated stock solution suitable for dilution prior to administration, or a reconstitutable form such as a lyophilized, freeze-dried or frozen preparation.
The vaccine compositions of the present invention may include a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier when formulated. As for the pharmaceutically acceptable carrier that can be used in formulating the vaccine composition, there are listed and stipulated in the pharmacopoeias of korean nationality or other countries, particularly in the pharmacopoeias of the united states, japan and europe, and specific information can be referred to these pharmacopoeias.
The carrier, as mentioned above, may generally include, for example, diluents, excipients, stabilizers, preservatives and the like. Suitable diluents include, for example, non-aqueous solvents such as propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, and vegetable oils (e.g., olive oil and peanut oil), or aqueous solvents such as saline (preferably 0.8% saline) and water containing a buffer medium (preferably 0.05M phosphate buffer), as suitable excipients, such as starch, glucose, lactose, sucrose, gelatin, malt, rice, flour, chalk, silica gel, sodium stearate, glycerol monostearate, talc, sodium chloride, anhydrous skim milk, glycerol, propylene, glycol, water and ethanol, suitable stabilizers include, for example, carbohydrates such as sorbitol, mannitol, starch, chitosan, glutamic acid, and glucose, and proteins such as animal, vegetable, and microbial proteins (e.g., milk powder, serum albumin, and casein). Examples of suitable preservatives include thimerosal, gentamicin, neomycin, nystatin, amphotericin B, tetracycline, penicillin, streptomycin, and polymyxin B.
The vaccine composition of the present invention may further comprise an antigen adjuvant (adjuvant). An antigen adjuvant may be composed of more than one substance that can enhance an immune response to an antigen. Adjuvants can function as tissue stocks for slow release of antigen and/or as activators of the lymphatic system for non-specifically potentiating immune responses (Hood et al, Immunology, Second ed.,1984, benjamin/Cummings: Menlo Park, California, p.384). The antigen adjuvant may be, for example, freund's complete adjuvant, freund's incomplete adjuvant, saponin, gel-like aluminum adjuvant, surface active substance (such as lysolecithin, polyether glycol, polyanion, peptide, oil and hydrocarbon emulsion, etc.), vegetable oil (such as cotton seed oil, peanut oil or corn oil, etc.), vitamin E acetate, etc.
Aluminum adjuvants are most widely used as antigen adjuvants applicable to human bodies, and the Aluminum adjuvants described above are used in gel form of Aluminum salts such as Aluminum phosphate (Aluminum phosphate), Potassium Aluminum sulfate (Potassium sulfate), and Aluminum hydroxide (Aluminum hydroxide). It has been known that an aluminum adjuvant as described above can potentiate an immune response by eliciting a Th2-type immune response (Sokolovska A et al, vaccine.2007Jun 625(23): 4575-85; O' Hagan DT AND Rappuoli R., Pharm Res.2004-type immune response)Sep; 21(9):1519-30.). The Alhydrogel from Invivogen used in the examples of the present invention is a gel-like suspension (colloidal) of aluminum hydroxide (aluminum hydroxide). The aluminum adjuvant as described above can be produced AND used as it is or purchased as a product distributed on the market according to a production method known in the related art (R.Bomford. immunological additives AND vaccines. NATO ASI Series 1989; 179: 35-41; Vogel FR AND Powell MF. pharm Biotechnol.1995; 6: 141-. As products distributed on the market, examples of the products include Aluminum hydroxide Gel product from Sigma and Aluminum hydroxide Gel product from BRENNTAG, including 2% Aluminum hydroxide Gel product from Invivogen used in the examples described belowTMProducts, etc. are examples.
The vaccine composition of the present invention can be produced in any unit volume. The unit volume refers to the amount of the active ingredient and the pharmaceutically acceptable carrier contained in a single product packaged for the purpose of administering to a human being more than once, and appropriate amounts of the active ingredient and the carrier as described above are amounts that can function as a vaccine upon more than one vaccination with the vaccine composition of the present invention, and the amounts as described above can be determined by non-clinical or clinical means within the ordinary abilities of the relevant practitioner.
The vaccine composition of the present invention can be preferably administered by parenteral means such as rectal, transdermal, intravenous injection, intra-arterial injection, intramuscular injection, intradermal injection, subcutaneous injection, intraperitoneal injection, and intraventricular injection.
The vaccine composition of the present invention may be administered by a modified release system. For example, as the modified release system as described above, there may be exemplified such a liposome, an implantable osmotic pump, a transdermal patch, and the like. Preferably, the active ingredient is delivered by liposome means. For the delivery of active ingredients by means of Liposomes, reference may be made, for example, to the literature [ Langer, Science 249: 1527-. For the mode of delivery of other active ingredients, reference may be made to the literature [ Langer, supra; sefton, CRC Crit.Ref.biomed.Eng.14:201(1987), document [ Buchwald et al, Surgery 88:507(1980) ], document [ Saudek et al, N.Engl.J.Med.321:574(1989) ], document [ Medical Applications of Controlled Release, Langer and Wise (eds.), CRC Pres, Boca Raton, Florida (1974) ], document [ Controlled Drug bioavailability.drug Product Design and Performance, Smolen and Ball, Wiley, New York (1984) ], document [ Ranger and Peppas, J.Macromol.Sci.Rev.Chem.351.19823: Hough et al [ 19825: 9 J.J.Macromol.19825 ], Neugn.J.1989 et al, and New York (1989). The documents mentioned above are considered to be part of the present description.
The dosage of the vaccine composition of the present invention can be determined by the characteristics of the medical staff, for example, age, body weight, sex, symptoms, complications, and patients with other diseases.
In addition, the time interval and the number of administrations may be determined depending on the dosage form used or the half-life of the active ingredient in blood, etc.
As described above, the dose amount and the time interval and the number of times of administration should be decided by the judgment of medical staff and by the individual, but generally as an appropriate dose amount, it should be decided within a range of about 0.1 to 10mg per 1kg of the body weight of the individual on a one-day basis, the dose interval should be decided within a range of 3 to 10 days, and the number of times of administration should be decided within a range of 1 to 5 times.
Each protein used as an active ingredient in the vaccine composition of the present invention can be produced by a DNA recombination technique known in the related art using a gene encoding the protein. The method as described above, comprising: (i) producing an expression vector comprising a gene encoding each of the proteins; (ii) transforming said expression vector in a host cell; (iii) culturing the host cell after the transformation; and, (iv) isolating and extracting said individual proteins from said cultureAnd (4) a pure step.

Detailed Description
Next, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to examples. However, the scope of the present invention is not limited by the examples.
< example 1> production of viral protein for use as vaccine antigen
< examples 1-1> amino acid sequences of viral proteins used as vaccine antigens
Using the amino acid information on GenBank, Gn protein, Gc protein and NP protein used as vaccine antigens were produced. Amino acid information on GenBank is GenBank ID: ATW63054.1(Gn protein), GenBank ID: AOO85591.1(Gc protein) and GenBank ID: AJO16084.1(NP protein).
The Gn and Gc proteins use only the extracellular domain (extracellular domain) except for the signal peptide (signal peptide), transmembrane domain (transmembrane domain) and cytoplasmic domain (cytoplasmic domain) (seq id nos. 1 and 2, respectively), while the NP protein uses the full-length sequence (seq id No. 3).
< example 1-2> cloning and expression of viral protein Gene
After synthesizing genes encoding Gn and Gc proteins (extracellular domains) (seq id nos. 4 and 5, respectively), a signal peptide (signal peptide) gene (seq id No. 6) of Ig kappa light chain (light chain) was fused to the N-terminus (N-terminal) and a recombinant gene in which a human (human) IgG1 CH2-CH3 site Fc domain (domain) gene (seq id No. 7) was fused to the C-terminus (C-terminal) via a hinge sequence (sequence No. 8) was cloned into pCEP4 mammalian expression vector (mammalin expression vector) in the manner shown in fig. 1. The gene (SEQ ID NO: 9) encoding the NP protein with 6His (used for purification purposes) ligated to each of the N-and C-termini was cloned into pET28a vector (vector). Protein expression was induced by introducing the cloned genes into HEK93T cells (Gn, Gc) and e.coli BL21(NP), respectively, and purified using Protein a/G columns (Protein a/G columns) and nickel-nitrilotriacetic acid columns (Ni-NTA columns), respectively. The size and purity of the purified protein was confirmed by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) (FIG. 2).
< example 2> immunization of SFTS viral protein and antibody analysis
Two weeks after the third immunization, blood was collected and the antibody titers of Gn, Gc and NP were measured by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method using Gn-Fc (seq id No. 10, the amino acid sequence of DVAQAA at the N-terminus in seq id No. 10 is a sequence inserted for cloning), Gc-Fc (seq id No. 11, the amino acid sequence of DVAQAA at the N-terminus in seq id No. 10 is a sequence inserted for cloning), NP (seq id No. 12) and human Fc in first type interferon receptor KO mouse (N ═ 4) three times at two week intervals (20ug/mouse + Alum, Gn-Fc, Gc-Fc, Fc; 10ug/mouse + Alum, NP), respectively (a of fig. 3). It was confirmed that a higher level of antibody could be produced for each antigen (anti-Gn or anti-Gc IgG mean titer 1:4,096, anti-NP IgG mean titer 1:24,576; n: 4/group), and in particular, a higher antibody titer induced for NP antigen was observed. To confirm the virus neutralizing ability of the antibodies generated against the viral glycoproteins (Gn and Gc), focus reduction analysis (focus reduction assay) was performed after reacting STFS virus with immune serum and infecting it into Vero cells (b and c of fig. 3). It was confirmed that, although almost similar levels of antibodies were produced, the sera obtained by immunization with Gn-Fc formed relatively high neutralizing antibody titers compared to the sera obtained by immunization with Gc-Fc, and had significantly higher levels of virus neutralizing ability compared to the sera obtained by immunization with only Fc in both of the immune sera (neutralizing antibody titers: Gn-Fc: 929. + -. 1134, Gc-Fc: 209. + -. 140, Fc: 42. + -. 29; n ═ 4/group, mean titer. + -. S.D.).
< example 3> protective immune Effect against SFTS viral protein immunization
Three immunizations (20ug/mouse + Alum, Gn-Fc, Gc-Fc, Fc; 10ug/mouse + Alum, NP) were performed at two week intervals in first type interferon receptor KO mice (n ═ 4-6) using Gn-Fc, Gc-Fc, NP, and Fc, respectively, and 10ug/mouse + Alum, NP, two weeks after the third immunization using 103SFTS virus of focus-forming units (FFU) was infected subcutaneously. In addition, daily weight change and mortality were observed (fig. 4).
Mice immunized with phosphate Buffer (BPS) had gradually lost body weight and all died by day six of infection (control). Mice immunized with Fc (control group) lost weight gradually starting from the day of infection and all died until the fifth day of infection. Mice immunized with Gc-Fc lost weight gradually from the fourth day of infection and all died until the eighth day of infection. Mice immunized with Gn-Fc gradually lost weight from the third day of infection and died half by the eighth day of infection, but the remaining mice gradually recovered in weight and survived thereafter. Mice immunized with NP lost weight gradually starting on day three of infection and died 40% by day eight, but the remaining 60% of mice had weight gradually recovered and survived thereafter. It was confirmed by statistical analysis that (Log-rank (Mantel-Cox) Test), the survival prolongation effect (Gc-Fc group: p ═ 0.0046) or the mortality reduction effect (Gn-Fc group: p ═ 0.0054, NP group: p ═ 0.0023) based on the vaccine exhibited a statistically significant improvement effect compared to the control group.
< example 4> protective immune Effect against SFTS Virus protein Mixed immunization
Three immunizations (20 or 30ug/mouse + Alum) were performed in two weeks at intervals in first type interferon receptor KO mice (n ═ 7) using a mixture of Gn-Fc and NP (Gn + NP, mixing ratio: 10ug +10ug), a mixture of Gc-Fc and NP (Gc + NP, mixing ratio: 10ug +10ug), a mixture of Gn-Fc and Gc-Fc and NP (Gn + Gc + NP), and phosphate Buffer (BPS) (control), respectively, and two weeks after the third immunization, using 10ug/mouse + Alum3SFTS virus of focus-forming units (FFU) was infected subcutaneously. In addition, daily weight change and mortality were observed (fig. 5).
Mice immunized with phosphate Buffer (BPS) were gradually lost in body weight and all died until the sixth day of infection (control group). Mice immunized with Gn + NP lost weight gradually starting on day four of infection, died 14.3% on day five and 28.6% until day six of infection, but the remaining mice recovered weight gradually and survived thereafter. Mice immunized with Gc + NP gradually lost weight starting on the fifth day of infection and died 14.3% on the sixth day of infection, but the remaining mice gradually recovered in weight and survived thereafter. Mice immunized with Gn + Gc + NP gradually lost weight starting on day four of infection and died 42.9% on day seven of infection, but the remaining mice gradually recovered in weight and survived thereafter.
It was confirmed by statistical analysis that (Log-rank (Mantel-Cox) Test), the survival prolongation effect (Gc-Fc group: p ═ 0.0046) or the mortality reduction effect (Gn-Fc group: p ═ 0.0054, NP group: p ═ 0.0023) based on the vaccine exhibited a statistically significant improvement effect compared to the control group.
