Definitions
- Dispersed aggregates of non-encapsulated lymphoid tissue are often localized to the submucosal areas of the gastrointestinal, respiratory and urogenital tracts. These tracts are a main means of entry into the body by foreign microorganisms.
- Secretory immunoglobulin A (IgA) is an antibody capable of crossing mucosal membranes and protecting them against invasion by pathogens. Mucosal lymphoid tissue thus plays an important role in the local immune response which occurs at mucosal surfaces.
- mucosal epithelial cells regardless of whether they express the cell surface CD4 receptor used by the HIV to enter T-cells, macrophages and Langerhans cells, can be latently infected by HIV (Fantini et al., (1992) J. Virol . , 66: 5805; Fantini et al . , (1991) Virology, 185: 904) .
- the receptor(s) for HIV entry into mucosal intestinal epithelial cells appear to be glycolipids (Yahi et al. , (1992) J. Virol . , 66: 4848) , there is no information regarding the HIV epitope(s) which mediates attachment to these cells. Such knowledge would be of paramount importance since this epitope(s) would be an ideal target against which the local mucosal immune system could act to prevent the mucosal entry of HIV.
- CT cholera toxin
- Vibrio chol era is among the strongest mucosal immunogens known.
- CT binds strongly to a glycosphingolipid called ganglioside GM1 on mucosal cell surfaces using its B subunit.
- Mucosal administration of minute amounts of antigens covalently linked to the B subunit (CTB) has been shown to elicit vigorous mucosal as well as extramucosal immune responses in experimental animals including nonhuman primates (Czerkinsky et al., (1989) Infect . Immun .
- One embodiment of the present invention is a method for inhibiting the infection of mucosal cells by HIV-1 by administering a vaccine to the mucosa, thereby delivering to the mucosa a peptide of HIV-1 gpl20 having from about 10 to about 50 amino acids, whereby antibodies against the peptide are generated in the mucosa, the peptide being selected such that the antibodies inhibit infection of HIV-1 in mucosal epithelial cells.
- the peptide includes an epitope effective to generate mucosal production of antibodies that inhibit infection of mucosal cells by HIV-1, the peptide consisting essentially of SEQ ID NOS: 9, 10, 11, 12, or 13.
- the vaccine further includes an agent for enhancing delivery of the peptide to the mucosa.
- the agent is a mucosal binding protein; most preferably, it is either the binding subunit of cholera toxin or that of E. coli heat labile enterotoxin.
- the invention also provides that the peptide and the mucosal binding protein are bound together to form a chimeric protein which may advantageously be the expression product of recombinant DNA.
- the agent is a lipid.
- the lipid is in the form of a lipid vesicle.
- the administering step comprises administering to the mucosa a polynucleotide operably encoding the peptide, whereby the peptide is produced by cells of the mucosa.
- a further embodiment of the invention provides a vaccine for inhibiting the infection of mucosal cells by HIV-1, comprising a 10 to 50 amino acid peptide of HIV-1 gpl20 having an epitope selected such that antibodies against this epitope inhibit the infection of mucosal epithelial cells by HIV-1, and a compound or structure associated with the peptide for facilitating delivery of the peptide to the mucosa.
- this peptide consists essentially of SEQ ID NO 9, 10, 11, 12 or 13 and the compound or structure is a lipid vesicle.
- the compound or structure is a mucosal binding protein.
- the binding protein is a cholera toxin protein which may advantageously be the binding subunit.
- the binding protein is the binding subunit of E. coli heat labile enterotoxin.
- the present invention discloses the identification of synthetic peptides derived from the sequence of the envelope glycoprotein gpl20 of HIV-1. These peptides were used to generate neutralizing antibodies which inhibited infection of transformed human vaginal and colorectal cell lines in vi tro . These peptides will induce the production of a localized mucosal immune response, generating antibodies able to neutralize infection of human colorectal and vaginal epithelial cells by HIV-1.
- the peptides are set forth herein as SEQ ID NOS: 9-13. In one aspect of the invention, one or more of the peptides of SEQ ID NO: 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13 is used to generate antibodies.
- These antibodies can be generated in any conventional manner, including by intramuscular, intraperitoneal, subcutaneous, or mucosal administration to an animal. Generation of both monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies are contemplated. These antibodies are then used to prevent infection of cells of the mucosal epithelium by providing the antibodies in association with the mucosal cells and then challenging the cells with HIV-1. The antibodies inhibit or prevent binding of the virus to the cells, and thereby inhibit or prevent infection of the cells by the virus.
- the antibodies can be exogenous or endogenous antibodies, and the cells can be in vi tro or in vivo .
- the antibodies are typically generated in laboratory or domestic animals or are monoclonal antibodies. More importantly, it provides a valuable tool for analyzing the mechanism and structure involved in that binding.
- the antibodies are preferably endogenous mucosal antibodies that have been generated by administering one or more of the peptides of SEQ ID NOs 9-13 to the animal in which the cells are located. Mucosal vaccination, as described below, is particularly preferred. However, exogenous antibodies may also be administered to the animal to inhibit HIV-1 infection of mucosal cells. In all of the treatments described herein, the mucosal cells are preferably of human origin.
- the peptides of the present invention can be utilized alone or in combination and can also be uncoupled or coupled to other epithelial cell binding proteins including CT, CTB and the binding subunit of E. coli heat labile enterotoxin.
- the peptides may be coupled by either chemical or recombinant means.
- DNA encoding the peptides can be joined to DNA encoding cholera toxin, or its B subunit, by well known methods, inserted into a eukaryotic expression vector and delivered to epithelial cells using lipid vesicles or lamellar structures.
- peptide-CT, CTB or enterotoxin conjugates in vivo will then elicit a localized mucosal immune response and will protect against subsequent infection by HIV.
- mucosal epithelial cell binding proteins such as cholera toxin
- mucosal epithelial cell binding proteins will advantageously increase the efficiency of entry of peptides into these cells. Since the B subunit of the cholera toxin A-B dimer is responsible for binding to cell surface receptors, a peptide- CTB conjugate will also bind efficiently to epithelial cells.
- the literature also reports methods for forming compositions of immunogenic peptides and other gut binding proteins (Wenneras et al. , (1990) FEMS Microbiol . Lett .
- peptides are also useful in the production of monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies. These antibodies have a distinct neutralizing effect on HIV-1. These peptides, either alone or after coupling to CT or other molecules, maybe administered orally, rectally, vaginally, or in a combination of these routes in an amount sufficient to generate a mucosal antibody response sufficient to inhibit HIV-1 entry into the mucosal epithelial cells.
- the amounts of peptides used will depend on their pharmaceutical formulation and the site and route of delivery; however, for an adult human, a suitable immunogenic amount of peptide is generally between about 50 ⁇ g and about 1 mg, administered one to four times over a period of two weeks to one year or longer.
- the peptides, peptide-binding protein conjugates, and other compositions of the present invention can be administered orally to generate a localized gastrointestinal mucosal immune response or intravaginally or intrarectally to produce a localized mucosal immune response in these areas prone to viral entry by sexual contact.
- These peptides can be administered in unit dosage in an amount necessary to produce localized mucosal immunity against HIV-1 infection.
- compositions envisioned for oral administration include tablets, capsules, liquids, and the like and those contemplated for intravaginal or intrarectal administration include injectable carriers, suppositories, ointments, gels, creams, foams, sprays, dispersions, suspensions, pastes and the like in an amount from about 10 ⁇ g to about 10 mg or more.
- injectable carriers suppositories, ointments, gels, creams, foams, sprays, dispersions, suspensions, pastes and the like in an amount from about 10 ⁇ g to about 10 mg or more.
- These preparations can be in any suitable form, and generally comprise the active ingredient in combination with any of the well known pharmaceutically acceptable carriers.
- the preparations may further advantageously include preservatives, antibacterials, antifungals, antioxidants, osmotic agents, and similar materials in composition and quantity as is conventional.
- Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences 15th Ed., Mack Publishing Co., Easton, PA (1975) .
- peptides or conjugates are able to be directly taken up by the epithelial cells lining these areas. These peptides and conjugates may advantageously be enclosed in liposomes to facilitate delivery of these agents to cells.
- Direct injection of the peptides or peptide-binding protein conjugates, either alone or in combination with lipid vesicles or other lamellar structures, into the mucosal endothelium in a similar dose range is also envisioned as a method of eliciting an anti-HIV response in these tissues.
- Example 1 Susceptibility of colorectal and vaginal epithelial cells to infection by HIV-1
- HIV-1 infectious virus stocks of HTLV-IIIB-infected H9 T cell lymphoma cells (ATCC HTB-176) (Popovic et al . , (1984) Science, 224: 497-500) were used in the following experiments.
- the cells were maintained in RPMI-1640 medium containing 20% fetal calf serum (FCS) , 100 units/ml penicillin and 100 ⁇ g/ml streptomycin.
- FCS fetal calf serum
- Virus stocks were prepared using well known procedures and frozen at -90°C.
- Endpoint titration of the HTLV-IIIB isolate of HIV-1 in two clones of transformed vaginal epithelial cells (Hs 760 T and Hs 769.Vg cells; ATCC CRL-7491 and 7499, respectively) and 12 subclones of colon adenocarcinoma HT-29 cells (ATCC HTB-38) were performed by inoculation of respective cell lines with serial 10-fold dilutions of virus with 100 ⁇ l/well (ranging from 1 TCID 50 /cell to 0.00001 TCID S0 /cell) in 24-well plates
- DMEM Modified Eagle's Medium
- FCS fetal calf serum
- HTLV-IIIB-infected H9 cells (10 6 cells) in H9 maintenance medium were added to each well and cocultured with epithelial cells for 24 hours.
- the H9 cultures were microscopically followed for 7 days for the presence of HIV-induced syncytium formation and p24 antigen production using an ELISA able to detect as little as 100 pg p24/ml) .
- the vaginal cell lines Hs 760.T and Hs 769.Vg were permissive.
- Viral infection of Hs 760.T was detected by coculture at a high multiplicity (1 TCID 50 /cell) and 6 of the HT-29 colon cell clones were permissive at multiplicities ranging from 0.1-0.01 TCID 50 /cell. Of these clones, cloOne L20 was chosen for further study.
- HTLV-IIIB Susceptibility of colorectal and vaginal epithelial cells to infection by HIV-1
- Epithelial cells were harvested seven days post-infection and DNA was extracted (Sambrook et al . , (1989) Mol ecular Cloning, second edition, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, 2: 9.16-9.19) .

The monkey sera were used at a final dilution of 1:10 or 1:20. The guinea pig hyperimmune serum served as a positive control. After incubation for 2 hours at 37°C, the serum virus mixture was incubated with the epithelial cells for 2 hours at 37°C. The cells were washed twice with medium and supplemented with 1.5 ml of respective maintenance medium/well. Seven days after infection the cells were washed five times and treated with 0.1% trypsin at 37°C for 5 minutes.
