Abstract

Drug for the treatment or prevention by passive immunization of the HIV-infection and processes for preparation thereof. According to the invention, the drug consists of, or comprises, a preparation of anti-HIV gammaglobulins Ig6 and/or IgM of human origin without antibodies directed against glycoproteins of the HIV virus envelope and/or anti-CD4 antibodies.

Description

MEDICATION POR THE TREATMENT OR PREVENTION OF HIV VIRUS INFECTION THROUGH PASSIVE IMMUNIZATION AND PROCESSES FOR ITS PREPARATION.
The present invention relates to medication for the treatment or prevention of HIV virus infection, through passive immunization.
The use of specific anti-HIV gammaglobulins of human 10 origin obtained from seropositive donors for the treatment of seroprophylaxis and HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) virus infection has been contemplated previously. See Immunoglobulin preparation for HIV-infected patients P.L. YAP and P.E. WILLIAMS - Vos Sanguinis 55i 65-74 (1988).
In this manner, PCT patent application wo 89/01339 describee Immunoglobulins obtained from healthy seropositive donors and presenting an important p24 antibody titer.
However, these gammaglobulins contain a wide variety of different anti-HIV antibodies, amongst v»hich are antibodies to proteins of the viral wall (in the case of HIVi ι glycoproteins gpl20 and gp Furthermore, seropositive donors could also hold antibodies to the marker protein o£ the T4 lyraphocytcc (CD4 protein) as a result of an auto-iramunization triggered by the interaction of viral protein gpi20 with protein CD4 which constitutes the natural receptor of protein gpl20 in the T4 lymphocytes.
Thus, antibodies to the proteins of the viral envelope are suspected to facilitate instead of protect against viral infection, apparently because they would form an immune complex with the virus and provoke its phagocytosis by macrophages, thus leading to an infection of the macrophages which would consitute a reservoir for the HIV virus.
Furthermore, antibodies to the CD4 protein are also suspected to have a harmful effect during the HXV infection by triggering cytolysis of T4 lymphocytes, thereby contributing to the development of the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), clinical manifestation of the HIV virus infection.
Also, it has been observed that the outbreak of clinical signs or aius on a previously asymptomatic . 25 Beropositive patient is accompanied by a collapse in antip24 and anti-RT antibodies whereas the titer of neutralizing antibodies in vitro is not modified. Seet Prospects for the control of AIDS by immunizing seropositive individual: J. SALK, Nature 327« 473-76, June 11, 1987).
Other details on the HIV virus infection processes are described in« Replication of the human immunodeficiency virus - Strategies for inhibition. B.M. PETERLIN and P.A. LUCIW, Biotechnology 6i 794-799, July 1988).
The present invention intends to provide medication for the treatment or the prevention of the HIV virus infection through the use of hyperimmune anti-HIV human iramunoglobilins.
The present invention therefore relates to medication constituted by or comprising a preparation of hyperimmune anti-HIV IgG and/or IgM gammaglobulins of human origin.
The preparation is devoid of antibodies to glycoproteins of the HIV virus envelope and/or anti CD4 antibodies.
The medication of the present invention is advantageously conditioned to be administered parenterally, particularly through intramuscular cr Intravenous injection, in the same fashion as the usual immunoglobulin preparations.
IS The present invention also relates to processes for the preparation o£ the above-mentioned medication.
According to one embodiment of the processes of the present invention, plasma from blood or placentas of HIV virus seropositive donors or mothers is collected. From this material, there is obtained, through known isolation or separation processes, a total IgG and/or IgH immunoglobulin preparation, and this preparation is treated to eliminate anti-HIV envelope and/or anti CD4 antibodies.
In another embodiment of the processes of the present invention, one or more antibodies to the HIV virus but not to the envelope glycoproteins and/or CD4 are selectively extracted from plasma blood or placentas, Partlculsrly, on»* or more anti-core, snti-pJi, antip55, anti-plS, anti reverse transcriptase or anti nef antibodies may be extracted.
The extraction may, for example, be carried out by immobilizing on a support (agarose gel, for example) one or more natural HIV antigens, or antigens bearing the desired epitope, obtained through chemical synthesis or expression in a suitable recombinant system.
One of the advantages conferred by the selective extraction of the desired antibody from the collected Immunoglobulins is that higher concentration and standardization of both the titer and the extracted the collected immunoglobulin composition from 10 immunoglobulins are obtained. One may eventually mix the selectively extracted immunoglobulins and obtain standardized antibody titers.
When the anti-envelope and/or anti-CD4 antibodies are 15 selectively removed from the collected immunoglobulins, it ie preferable to repeat the removal steps several times through extraction, in order to obtain an anti-envelope and/or anti-CD4 antibody titer that is practically nonexistent .
If viral HIV particles are present in the material, the process of the present Invention also comprises a further step through which the virus is removed or inactivated .
The seropositive donors or mothers may either- b* Infected by the HIV virus or may have been veccined with inactivated total HIV virus or HIV virus from a nonlnfectlous strain.
For example, plasma, blood or placenta of HIV1 seropositive donors or mothers may be chosen but the process of the present invention may also be carried out using HIVI or a mixture of materials related co hivi and HIV2.
Total IgG and/or IgM may be obtained through different known processes. For example, they may be obtained through COHN's alcohol separation process for plasma or through TAYLOR's alcohol separation process for placenta, or through chromatography. These separation methods are well known to those skilled in the art.
When the material has been obtained from a seropositive donor infected by the wild type virus, the specific anti-HIV viral inactivation treatment may, for example, be obtained through a beta-proplolactone treatment, through exposure to heat or through an organic solvent in the presence of a detergent. These inactivation procesees, which are well known to those skilled in the art, are thoroughly described in processes for the preparation of immunoglobulins originating from plasma or placenta ( See ; Inactivation of the human immunodeficiency viruses (HIV-i and JiIV-2, 'during the manufacturing of placenta) albumin and garamaglobuline. M. GRANDGEORGE and F. PELLOCUIN, Tranefusion 29« 629-634, 1989 ) .
The removal of the anti-Hiv env._ope or anti CD4 antibodies may advantageously be carried out through bath or column immunoadsorption by contacting the immunoglobulin preparation with an Insoluble support on which envelope proteins gp!20 and/or gp4i and/or their precursor gpl60 (so far as Hivi is concerned) and/or protein CD4 have been previously immobilized through any method known to those skilled in the art. The proteins may, for example, be immobilized on an agarose support activated with cyanogen bromide. These proteins may be obtained either from natural sources (HIV and lymphocytes, or by genetic recombination.
According to another embodiment, plasma, blood or placenta of HIV seropositive donors or mothers resulting from vaccination with isolated HlV-virue proteins or obtained by genetic recombination, with the exception Oi the envelope proteins of the virus, may be utilized. In - 8 this process, the steps through which anti-envelope and/or anti CD4 antibodies are eliminated are omitted.
The preparation obtained through one of the processes referred to above is conditioned to be administered intramuscularly or intravenously through classical stabilization, additional purification, sterile filtration and eventually lyophilization steps. io The medication of the present invention may be used in the following applications: - preventing HIV infection for persons susceptible ot contracting the disease through seroprophylaxis, - adjuvant or complementary treatment o£ an anti-HIV vaccination, - treatment of the HIV infection and prevention of its clinical manifestation, AIDS, - treatment of AIDS.
Example 1.
Preparation of anti-HIV gammaglobulins concentrated in anti-.core antibodies and .devoid of_anti-enyo.lope antibodies.
The starting material is a preparation of human placenta gammaglobulins, rich in HIV antibodies, obtained from a pool of HIV seropositive women placenta, purified through an alcohol technique oompleted by a viral inactivation heating step. This gammaglobulin is adjusted at a protein concentration of 50g/litre, in a phosphate. NaCl pH 7.4 buffer. The solution is titrated in ELISA (Envacor Abbott HIV test). The solution contains a titer of« 1/700 in anti-core antibodies 1/30 in anti-envelope antibodies.
The titer is attributed by the last positive dilution in the ELISA test. - 80 ml of this solution are filtrated on a column containing 3 mg of p25 antigen immobilized on 1 ml of agarose gel.
- The resulting filtrate contains essentially all the desired gammaglobulins? adjusted at 50 g/1 in protein, the filtrate titersi 1/30 in anti-core antibodies 1/30 in anti-envelope antibodies The column is then eluted with a glycocoll acid buffer.
This elutant contains 13 mg of protein, its titer being brough back to a So g/1 protein concentration of: 1/120.000 in anti-core antibodies negative in anti-envelope antibodien This «yampjf* Illustrates the possibility of preparin an anti-HIV globulin rich in anti-core antibody an lacking anti-envelope antibodies.
Example 2 Preparation of an anti-HIV gammaglobulin lacking anti envelope antibodies.
The starting material used m identical to that used in example 1. adjusted at a protein concentration phosphate. NaCl pH 7.4 buffer. this example 1 The globulin is of 50 g/1 in a The solution is titrated in ELISA (Envacor Abott HIV test).
The solution has a titer of 1/700 in anti-core antibodies of 1/30 in anti-envelope antibodies. ml of this solution are filtrated on a column containing 4 mg of gpi60 antigen immobilized on l ml of agarose gel.
The filtrate collected contains essentially oil the proteins. Its titer, adjusted to 50 g/1 in protein, is the following! 1/500 in anti-core antibodies 1/8 in anti-envelope antibodies· A second run of the filtrate on the previously regenerated column support allows the obtention of a second filtrate which, when adjusted to 50 g/1, has the following tlteri 1/500 in anti-core antibodies 1/3 in anti-envelope antibodies.
After having carried out a third filtration on the same support, using conditions similar to those set forth above, the third filtrate obtained and adjusted at a protein concentration of 50 g/1 still contains most of the proteins and shows the following titer» 1/500 in anti-core anbibodies negative in anti-envelope antibodies.
This preparation illustrates the possibility of preparing an anti-HIV gammaglobulin containing particularly anti-core antibodies but lacking antienvelope antibodies.
