Definitions
- the present invention relates to immunogenic peptides and their use, particularly in the context of the diagnosis of pathologies.
- tuberculosis With one third of the world's population infected and one death every 20 seconds, tuberculosis (TB) remains one of the world's most deadly diseases. No rapid diagnostic test, accurate and validated according to the expectations of health authorities, including the World Health Organization (WHO) is marketed to date, the reference test requiring several weeks before giving a result .
- WHO World Health Organization
- the WHO thus opens the door to an opportunity for a new generation of tests meeting strict criteria of quality and clinical validation.
- One of the aims of the invention is therefore to provide a diagnostic method for active tuberculosis that can be easily implemented in any situation, and in particular in the absence of highly equipped hospital infrastructure.
- Another object of the invention is to determine the best peptide candidates for implementing this new method of efficient and rapid diagnosis.
- the invention also relates to a method for in vitro screening of at least one immunogenic peptide of interest capable of recognizing at least one antibody derived from the serum of individuals with active tuberculosis, said at least one immunogenic peptide being a hydrophilic peptide derived from a hydrophobic protein, said hydrophobic protein being a wall protein, or secreted, bacteria of the genus Mycobacterium, said hydrophobic protein having lipolytic activity, said method comprising the following steps:
- At least one control sample from an individual who does not have tuberculosis from an individual who does not have tuberculosis
- the ratio R being the normalized measurement value of the immune complex formation, relative to the respective backgrounds of the sera and components used to detect the immune complexes, on or divided by the standardized measurement value obtained from the sample from a healthy individual relative to the respective backgrounds of sera and components used to detect immune complexes.
- the invention is based on the surprising finding made by the inventors that certain peptides derived from specific proteins are very good candidates for implementing a diagnostic method of active tuberculosis, while proposing a sensitivity and efficacy of detection of pathology at a high level.
- the diagnosis proposed by the invention can be carried out in humans but also in animals.
- tuberculosis tuberculosis
- TB tuberculosis
- hydrophobic protein having lipolytic activity are used to designate an enzyme with lipolytic activity and include, phospholipases A, B, C or D, and lipases, especially triglycerides lipases, lipases. or diglycerides, monoglyceride lipases.
- Mycobacterium tuberculosis During infection, Mycobacterium tuberculosis accumulates intracellular inclusion bodies loaded with lipids whose lipids are probably derived from the degradation of the cell membrane of the host. There is now strong evidence supporting the fact that fatty acids are a source of carbon during dormancy. Mycobacterium tuberculosis stores fatty acids as triacylglycerol (TAG) upon entry into the persistent non-replicating stage (latent state). In addition, granulomas containing foamy macrophages which are cells containing in their cytoplasm a large amount of neutral lipids surrounded by phospholipids have been found.
- TAG triacylglycerol
- lipid bodies are induced by the internalisation of the bacterium and therefore provide a source of carbon for the survival and reactivation of the pathogen. More generally, these findings support the fact that the enzymes involved in lipid degradation can assume important physiological functions and can participate in the extraordinary ability to survive and inactivate Mycobacterium tuberculosis from infected cells. The degradation of host lipids by Mycobacterium tuberculosis is probably carried out by lipolytic enzymes, such as lipases and phospholipases, including the family of cutinase enzymes.
- Lipases are water soluble proteins having lipolytic activity belonging to the esterase group and catalyzing the hydrolysis of water insoluble substrates such as triacylglycerol ester bonds and phospholipids.
- the catalytic reaction of lipolysis involves different process at the interface and depends closely on the structure of the lipid substrates present in oil-in-water emulsions, membrane bilayers, monolayers, micelles and vesicles.
- the catalytic process can be described as a reversible lipase adsorption / desorption step at the oil / water interface, followed by formation of an enzyme / substrate complex at the interface and release of the lipolysis products.
- 24 were classified in the family of enzymes called "Lip family". However, this classification is only based on the presence of the consensus sequence GXSXG which is characteristic of esterases and members of the family of hydrolases possessing ⁇ / ⁇ sheets.
- the method for detecting immunogenic peptides is therefore based on taking advantage of the properties of proteins with lipolytic activity (which make it possible to detect active tuberculosis) while avoiding the difficulty of working with whole proteins, which can be difficult to handle and / or expensive and complex to produce.
- hydrophobic protein in the invention a protein which is considered, as a whole, to have little affinity for aqueous solutions and which is unlikely to dissolve in an aqueous liquid.
- Proteins are composed of amino acids that can be polar (hydrophilic) or hydrophobic. When the protein is synthesized, it adopts a specific three-dimensional conformation related to its activity or function so that amino acids distant from each other in the sequence can be found nearby in space. If during the folding of a protein, all the polar amino acids are found inside a pocket which is surrounded by hydrophobic amino acids, the entire protein will then be considered hydrophobic, even if the proportion of hydrophilic amino acids is greater than that of hydrophobic amino acids.
- a protein will be considered as hydrophilic, if its three-dimensional conformation is such that the majority of the amino acids present on the surface of the protein are hydrophilic.
- hydrophilic peptide derived from a hydrophobic protein a fragment of said hydrophobic protein, as defined above, whose properties are to be easily soluble and stable in an aqueous liquid, c i.e., in water or polar solvents.
- Solubility can also be predicted by counting the number of charged residues and adding the free terminal ends of the peptide. Theoretically, at least one charge every 5 residues is required to obtain minimal solubility. We must also avoid a sequence of more than 3 to 4 hydrophobic residues.
- the hydrophobicity at pH 6.8 makes it possible to check the solubility of the peptide in an aqueous buffer. This value makes it possible to check the compatibility with the coupling buffers during the step of conjugation with the carrier protein.
- the peptides to be screened are, for example, i) flexible, that is to say not spatially constrained, that is to say with free epitopes of access for possible antibodies in relation to the overall structure of the peptide, ii) if they are found in conserved protein motifs or secondary structures (helices, ⁇ -sheets) which would reduce their specificity, iii) if they are found in regions exposed to the entire protein from which they derive.
- the skilled person may also find other appropriate characteristics that could complement its choice of potentially immunogenic peptides.
- hydrophilic peptides have been identified, their immunogenicity is then tested according to the following method:
- each peptide is brought into contact with at least two pools of sera, the sera being from patients with clinically confirmed active TB, and 2- in parallel with a control sample from a healthy individual, which is not has tuberculosis, especially active TB, that is, an individual who has never been in contact with TB or a patient who is latent in TB (and therefore has not developed active TB) .
- the objective is to determine whether the peptides tested are capable of forming immune complexes with at least one antibody contained in said pools of sera of individuals with active TB, which means that the peptides are potentially immunogenic.
- the potential immune complexes are detected according to conventional methods which consist in labeling and identifying the presence of an immune complex by detecting the constant part of the antibodies which have potentially interacted with the peptides to be screened by means of specific immunoglobulin of the parts constants of antibodies coupled to markers for quantification.
- a standard laboratory method for detecting these immune complexes is an ELISA (Enzyme-linked ImmunoSorbentAssay) test. This detection method can also be adapted to different solid supports to facilitate the identification of immune complexes outside laboratories.
- a ratio R is calculated, the ratio R being the normalized measurement value of the immune complex formation, relative to the respective backgrounds of the sera and components used to detect the immune complexes, over, or divided by, the normalized measurement value obtained from the sample from a healthy individual relative to the respective backgrounds of the sera and components used to detect the immune complexes.
- Vp + e corresponds to the value measured during the detection of an immune complex when the peptide (p) is brought into contact with the serum of a patient suffering from active TB
- Vs + e corresponds to the value measured during the detection of an immune complex when the solvent of the peptide (s) is brought into contact with the serum of a patient with active TB
- - Vp + n corresponds to the value measured during the detection of an immune complex when the peptide (p) is brought into contact with the serum of a healthy individual (n)
- - Vs corresponds to the value measured during the detecting an immune complex the solvent of the peptide (s) is brought into contact with the serum of a healthy individual (n)
- VBIanc is the value measured when an immune complex is detected in the absence of any serum, peptide or solvent.
- the ratio as calculated above is greater than or equal to 1.5, the peptide will be considered as particularly interesting and capable of effectively detecting Antibodies markers of active TB. On the other hand, if the ratio R is less than 1, 5 it will not be retained.
- each peptide is contacted with at least two pools of sera.
- a pool or mixture of several sera from distinct patients each with a clinically established active TB is used. These pools make it possible to have a mixture of sera and thus to increase the diversity of antibodies that can be detected.
- Independent pools are used, i.e. mixtures of sera that do not have the same origins. For example, if a first pool comprises 4 sera from 4 different individuals, a second independent pool will include several sera none of which will be in common with at least one of the sera of the first pool.
- the immune complexes between the peptide and the antibodies contained in the pools are quantified by immunodetection using immunoglobulins coupled to a detection agent.
- the preferred peptides are those which have a ratio R greater than
- peptides with a ratio R greater than or equal to 1 will also be interesting. for a pool of at least two serum pools. On the other hand, peptides are not selected for which the ratios R, irrespective of the pool of the at least two serum pools, are less than 1, 5.

- These peptides can also be modified on one or more amino acid residues, for example by protecting certain residues such as cysteine residues. It is possible to add on these peptides other N-terminal or C-terminal chemical groups. -terminal facilitating their handling and their use in a rapid test (grafting to the support, epitopic presentation, conformation, etc.). These groups may be, for example, Biotin, a BSA-type soluble carrier protein, thiol or NH 2 provided that it is absent from the peptide sequence of interest.
