Description

The proteic nucleic acid vaccine of G of coding respiratory syncytial virus
Invention field
The present invention relates to the field of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccine, relate in particular to the vaccine of the proteic nucleotide sequence of absorption (G) that comprises the RSV that encodes.
Background of invention
The respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) that belongs to the Paramyxoviridae of virus is a kind of minus-stranded rna virus, it is that (reference 1-each reference in this application marks in bracket, and these reference are done more fully explanation to the state of the art in field under the present invention for the main viral pathogens of decision infant's bronchitis and pneumonia.The complete reference documentation ﹠ info of relevant each part reference document this specification sheets at last, and then provide before claims.The content of these reference is used as reference and takes in this specification sheets).In the U.S., the annual acute respiratory infection that is caused by RSV can cause about 90,000 people's hospital cares, and 4,500 people's death (reference 2) are arranged.Only be used for the treatment of the required expense of rsv infection every year and just surpass 3.4 hundred million dollars (reference 3) in the U.S..Also do not have now licensed-in, at the vaccine of RSV.The main path of exploitation RSV vaccine comprises virus, attenuated live virus and the subunit vaccine of deactivation.
Protective immune response at RSV is considered to induce the neutralizing antibody (reference 4) that merges (F) and absorption (G) glycoprotein at the surface.In addition, cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) is replied and has been participated in virus sweep.F albumen is guarded between RSV A and B hypotype.
The G albumen (33kDa) of RSV is that height O-is glycosylated, and producing apparent molecular weight is the glycoprotein (reference 5) of 90kDa.Two big hypotype: the A and the B (reference 6) of RSV virus had been determined already.Major antigen gender gap between these two kinds of hypotypes is present in (reference 3,7) on the G glycoprotein.
Rsv protein may be had any problem as vaccine.Up to now, to be proved the immunogenicity of inducing neutralizing antibody in the seronegativity chimpanzee very weak for the vaccine candidate object taken of parenteral.Exist under the condition of passive acquired antibody, can further weaken, described passive acquired antibody such as most of infant had passes through the maternal antibody that placenta obtains by the serum antibody response of described antigen induction.The subunit vaccine material standed for of RSV comprises fusion (F) glycoprotein of the purifying of the cell culture that comes from rsv infection, and described glycoprotein is affine or ion exchange chromatography purifying (reference 8) by immunity.With said preparation seronegativity or seropositivity chimpanzee are carried out the parenteral immunity, in the seronegativity animal, tire, need the dosage of 3 50 μ g in order to induce about 1:50RSV serum neutralization.When inoculating described animal, do not detect effect or the clinical disease that immunity is got rid of virus subsequently at the upper respiratory tract with wild-type RSV.There is not the research effect that this vaccine immunity is got rid of virus in lower respiratory tract, although this position is the position that may have its maximum efficiency by the serum antibody of parenteral immune induction.Security and immunogenicity research in minority seropositivity individuality, had been carried out already.Described vaccine has confirmed its security in seropositivity children and 3 seronegativity children (all children's age all surpasses 2.4 years old).Owing to accept the children's of immunity comparatively small amt, still can not determine the influence of immunity to lower respiratory illness.An immunizing dose can induce the intravital virucidin of vaccination person of 40%-60% to tire in seropositivity children body increases by 4 times.Therefore, studying on a small scale more than to provide enough data that the effectiveness of the anti-RSV-inductive of described vaccine disease is estimated.Another problem that subunit's RSV vaccine is run into is might cause increasing the weight of of disease with immunogen preparation inoculation seronegativity acceptor.In the sixties in 20th century, with the immune baby of RSV preparation (FI-RSV) of formalin deactivation, can cause contacting once more subsequently the enhancing of pulmonary disorder when viral alive, also be known as immunostimulant (reference 9,10).Described vaccine inoculation person can form strong serum and reply, but can not preventing infection, and some inoculator can produce serious even fatal sometimes respiratory tract disease when natural infection.Although accurate mechanism it be unclear that, the immunologic facilitation that has shown this form already might reflect the antigenic structural changes of RSV (reference 11), remaining serum and/or cell contamination thing (reference 12), virus absorption (G) proteic special characteristic (reference 13,14) or unbalanced cell-mediated immune responses (reference 13,15).Confirmed already that the FI-RSV vaccine can be induced TH2-type immunne response in mouse, and can not cause immunostimulant, replied (reference 15) but bring out a kind of TH1 with the RSV immunity of living.
In some research, carry out the enhancing that immune immunne response can cause the disease of rodent with synthetic RSV G fusion rotein, be similar to vaccine-induced result by the RSV of formalin deactivation.With expressing the proteic recombinant vaccine virus immune mouse of RSV G, can cause in lung, occurring the G-specific T-cells and reply, described cell can only be collected from the inferior pedigree of CD4+T cell, and obviously is partial to Th2.The G-specific T-cells can be induced pulmonary apoplexy, lung neutrophil collection (shock lung), and a large amount of lung eosinophils, and in the mouse acceptor of the transfer of subculture, cause death (reference 14) sometimes.Non-ly duplicate antigenic some vaccine preparation and carry out the dependency that immunity increases the weight of with disease with comprising, show that it is used as vaccine should act cautiously in the seronegativity human body.
Attenuated vaccine at the work of the disease that is caused by RSV is hopeful because of two kinds of major causes.At first, the vaccine virus infection of being lived can be induced the equilibrated immunne response, comprises mucous membrane and serum antibody and cytotoxic t-lymphocyte.Secondly, infect the baby, can not cause the enhanced disease during natural infection once more subsequently with the wild-type virus of attenuated vaccine material standed for of living or natural acquisition.Producing following attenuated vaccine alive is a kind of challenge, and this vaccine has immunogenicity to the infant with parent virucidin, and has been attenuated and can be used for more than or equal to seronegativity baby in age in June.The live-virus vaccine of attenuation also has residual virulence and the instable danger of genetics.
In several studies, confirmed to inject the plasmid DNA of the sequence that comprises a kind of foreign protein of encoding already, can cause the expression of described foreign protein, and induce at described antigenic antibody and cytotoxic t-lymphocyte (CTL) and reply (for example, reference 16,17,18).Plasmid DNA inoculation is used to express the method that viral protein concludes above has some advantages.At first, can import virus inside itself, can't render a service owing to the comprehensive virus of described antibody makes its forfeiture at the DNA that the virus antigen of will encoding under the condition of antibody is arranged.Secondly, the antigen of Biao Daing should have natural conformation and suitable glycosylation in vivo.Therefore, described antigen should be induced the antibody response that is similar to by the antibody response of the antigen induction that is present in the wild-type virus infection.On the contrary, some method that is used for purifying protein can be induced the change of conformation, therefore causes protective epitope's immunogenic forfeiture, and might cause immunostimulant.The 3rd, in live body, can detect by the time of the protein expression that carries out of plasmid DNA of injection and obviously be longer than time in the cell of virus infection, and the theoretic advantage that it had is, has prolonged cytotoxic T-cell induction and enhanced antibody response.The 4th, antigenic expression in vivo might provide provide protection, and does not need external adjuvant.
Before the present invention, still do not understand by taking the proteic dna molecular of coding RSV G carries out immunity to the disease that is caused by RSV ability.Specifically, still do not understand the effectiveness of carrying out immunity with the proteic gene pairs RSV of the RSV G inductive disease of coding secreted form.The infection of RSV can cause serious disease.It is useful with favourable that the coding proteic isolating gene of RSV G and nonreplication vector are provided, described carrier comprises plasmid vector, uses it in the body and takes, and be used to comprise the immunological reagent of vaccine, so that the disease that prevention is caused by RSV, and be used to prepare diagnostic preparation and test kit.Specifically, need provide the immunogen and the protectant vaccine that can be used as mankind's (comprising the seronegativity baby), this vaccine can not cause the enhancing (immunostimulant) of disease.
