The present invention relates to laundry detergent compositions comprising a protease and a protease-directed antibody in order to provide excellent cleaning performance and fabric care performance.

Description

DETERGENT COMPOSITIONS THAT INCLUDE PROTEOLIC ACTIVITY CONTROLLED BY ANTIBODIES FIELD OF THE INVENTION * «_ The present invention relates to laundry detergent compositions comprising a protease and an antibody directed against protease to provide excellent cleaning performance and fabric care performance. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION An important part of the system that protects vertebrates against infections by bacteria or viruses is the humoral immune system. The specialized cells present in the bone marrow, lymphoid tissues and the blood produce immunoglobulins (antibodies) that appear in response to the introduction of a micro- or macromolecule foreign to said body and join the structure foreign to the body, initiating so its destruction. This molecule, which is foreign to the body, is called an antigen. The antibody is directed against the antigenic determinant or aptene of the antigen, that is, an amino acid frequency, parts of oligosaccharides, polysaccharides, lipopolysaccharides, glycoproteins, lipopropteins, acids lipoteicoinics. The specific antibodies generated in this way can be combined with the antigen that produces their formation to form an antigen-antibody complex. The antibody molecules have binding sites that are very specific and complementary to the structural characteristics of the "- * 5 antigen inducing its formation Several applications of such recognition of highly specific antigen-antibody and binding have been discovered, such as the recognition agent, the binding agent or carrier agent in various domains such as the analytical chemistry, therapeutic treatment and health and aesthetic care. EP 479 600, EP 453 097 and EP 450 800 relate to the use of antibodies or fragments thereof to deliver the active ingredients to a target site. He EP 481 701 discloses treatment compositions for * the topical application containing microcapsules comprising a beneficial agent in a target location, the microcapsules having an antibody or specific antibody fragment in the target location or a lectin. WO92 / 04380 describes a newly formed human antibody or reshaped human antibody fragments having a specific character for the human polymorphic epithelial mucosa to be used in the treatment or diagnosis of cancer. The use of polypeptides specific for the Epstein-Barr virus for the production of antibodies and the diagnosis and treatment of said disease are described in WO94 / 06470. Oral compositions comprising antibodies as anti-caries or periodontal diseases are described extensively in documents O95 / 01155, • * s. 5 O95 / 00110, O95 / 10612, EP 140 498, GB 140 498, GB 2 151 923, GB 2 176 400, GB 2 167 299, DE 4324859, US 5 401 723 and EP 280 576. EP 673 683 and EP 542 309 describe cosmetic compositions for hair containing a antibody to the hair, or hair extract, obtained from the yolk of the egg or poultry immunized with the hair or hair extract of a polymer emulsion to provide reduced damage to the hair, softness, moisture sensation and smoothness; said composition is absorbed only in one specific part of the hair. * The compositions containing antagonists (tyrphostins or antibodies) against epidermal growth and transformation factors, suitable for use in the treatment of acne are described in W095 / 24896.
The use of antibodies in the context of detergency has been suggested in general in Unilever Researchprijs "Molecule zoekt parther" 1992, where modified antibodies directed to specific spots are proposed to be used in the bleaching process. The production of antibodies by hyperimmunization of mammals, such as a cow, with a vaccine derived from the E. coli bacterium is described in EP 102 831. EP 400 569 describes a method for preparing the vaccine composition for dental caries in nasal drops that comprise an antigen • a 5 produced by the integration of a protein antigen, expressed in the chromosomal gel of a GS-5 strain of Streptococcus mutant. W094 / 25591 describes the production of antibodies or functionalized fragments thereof derived from an immunoglobulin heavy chain of camelidae. Currently, detergent compositions include a complex combination of active ingredients that meet certain specific needs: a surfactant system, detergent enzymes, bleaching agents, a detergency builder system, foam suppressors, dirt suspending agents, dirt release agents, optical brighteners, softening agents, dispersants, dye transfer compound, abrasives, bactericides, perfumes and their development general has been improved over the years. In particular, current laundry detergent formulations generally include detergent enzymes, and more specifically proteases. However, excessive substrate exposure to The proteolytic activity and / or transfer of the proteolytic activity to the main post-wash portion of the wash cycle, such as the rinse, spin and / or drying steps, can result in undesirable effects. It is well known that proteolytic detergent enzymes can reduce, under certain circumstances, the tensile strength of the wool constituents of the fabrics. However, it should be noted that the loss of tensile strength of the fabric is also an inevitable result of the mechanical action due to wear / wear, and may also be the result of damage caused by a bleaching component in the washing process , especially if the fabric is contaminated with metal compounds. It has now surprisingly been found that the application of antibodies raised against the proteolytic enzyme prevents the occurrence of inconvenient residual proteolytic activity. The proteolytic activity can be totally controlled during the cleaning process, so that the negative effects due to excessive substrate exposure to the proteolytic enzyme can now be avoided. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a laundry detergent composition containing protease that provides excellent cleaning benefits such as stain and / or dirt removal benefits, as well as cleaning and fabric care. The above need has been covered by specific laundry detergent compositions comprising a protease and an antibody directed against said proteolytic enzyme.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to laundry detergent compositions comprising a protease enzyme and an antibody produced against the proteolytic enzyme to provide excellent cleaning performance and fabric care performance.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Antibody An essential element of the detergent compositions of the present invention is an antibody. J Immunoglobulins are classified into 5 classes, respectively: IgA, IgD and IgE. Preferred types of immunoglobulin are IgG and IgA. The secretory slgA that has been discovered in the secreted fluids of the human body such as milk, saliva, respiratory and intestinal fluids, which are specially designed to survive in said secretions, have promoted binding characteristics and are resistant to proteolytic hydrolysis. The antibody that can be monoclonal or polyclonal or an antibody fragment can be generated by techniques conventional in the art, for example by using recombinant DNA techniques that allow the production of antibody variants with new properties: reduced immunogenicity, affinity driven, altered size, etc. You can also use the specific link. The monoclonal antibody is preferred for the purpose of the present inventionvery preferred is a fragment thereof. Such fragments can be generated similarly by conventional techniques such as enzymatic digestion by papain or pepsin, using recombinant DNA techniques. Antibody fragments can also be generated by conventional recombinant DNA techniques. The antibodies and antibody fragments can be humanized, as described in Meded.- Fac. Landbouwkd. Toegepast Biol. Wet. (Univ. Gent) (1995), 60 (4a, Forum for Applied Biotechnology, 1995, Part 1), 2057-63. Heavy and light chains are in fact made up of J constant and variable domains. The organisms that produce immunoglobulin in their natural state, the constant domains are very important for a number of fusions, but for several applications in industrial processes and products, their variable domains are sufficient. Consequently, many methods have been described to produce antibody fragments. The antibody fragments that are used can be a Fab, an Fv, a scFv or any other fragment that has similar link properties. The preferred fruits for antibody fragments are through recombinant DNA technology, so that the fragment is expressed by a genetically transformed organism. Antibodies and antibody fragments produced by recombinant DNA technology need not be identical to the antibody fragment produced in vertebrates, yet have the same binding properties evaluated by their Km, Ki and Kcat. For example they may include amino acid sequences and / or lycosylations that differ from those found in antibodies produced in other forms, especially sequences at the end of the fragments. Analogously, antibody fragments produced by recombinant DNA technology can include extra amino acid sequences at their terminal ends that have no counterpart in the antibodies produced in another way. A related possibility is that the binding agent for use in this invention is a natural or synthetic polymer that resembles the specific binding activity of a region complementary to the natural antibody. Said polymer is for example a polypeptide or a polymer fingerprint (Angew, Chem. Int. Ed. Engl, 1995, 34, 1812-1832). The usual method for the production of antibody can be adopted in the immunization of mammals or birds with the corresponding antigens. Since mammals will be immunized, mice, rabbits, goats, sheep, horses, cows, etc. can be used. The antibody (immunoglobulin fraction) can be separated from antiserum, milk or eggs in accordance with the ordinary antibody purification method including the purification method, Polson extraction, filtration chromatography, gel, ion exchange chromatography , affinity chromatography and the like, the purification method using ammonium sulfate to produce the precipitates, dialyzing the precipitates against the physiological saline solution to obtain the purified precipitates as the antibody. The plants are also capable of synthesizing and assembling all types of antibody molecules and allowing a large scale of antibody production as described in Tibtech. Dec 1995, Vol 13, pp 522-527; Plant Mol, Biol., 26, pp 1701-1710, 1994 and Biotechnol, proj, 1991, 7, pp. 455-461 and in the patent of E.U.A. 5,202,422. The antibodies can also be produced in microorganisms such as E. coli or 3. cerevisiae by the biofermentation process, as illustrated in the patent EP 667 394. The techniques for the production of antibody fragment are well known in the literature : Saiki et al. Science 230 1350-54 (1985); Orlani and other PNAS USA 86 3833-7 (1989); WO89 / 09825; EP 368 684; WO 91/08482 and W094 / 25591. The drawbacks due to the prolonged activity of the enzyme can be avoided by an effective control of the enzymatic activity through the introduction of the correspondingly corresponding body. Said antibodies can be polyclonal-directed to the whole structure of the enzyme- or monoclonal- directed to the specific hepitopes of the control regions of the enzyme activity of the structure of the enzyme. Antibodies raised against the specific enzyme can effectively inactivate the enzyme by binding the antibody-antigen in or very close to the active site. The formation of said complex leads to the deactivation of the enzyme and can be explained by the distortion of the 3-dimensional structure and / or steric hindrance in the slit of the substrate. The deactivation of the enzyme can also be achieved by precipitation of the antibody-antigen complex from the wash solution. Due to the very high specificity and efficiency of the antibody-antigen interaction, no other detergent active is affected in this way. Antibodies directed against protease are included - preferably in the detergent compositions of the present invention at a level of 10E-6% at 10E + 1% by weight of the total composition. In some cases, the antibodies produced against specific proteases have the ability to bind with other proteases of high structural similarity, providing cross-reactivity. Typically, a molecular ratio of antibody directed against protease: protease will be 100: 1 or less, preferably 50: 1 or less. For monoclonal antibodies or fragments thereof, the molecular ratio of antibody directed against protease: protease will generally be 50: 1 or less, preferably 20: 1 or less.
Antibodies raised against the protease are released into the wash solution after a period of delay that allows the protease to provide excellent performance benefits that will be achieved upon completion of the washing procedure. Therefore, antibodies are preferably incorporated in a release agent to control their time and rate of release in the wash solution. The physical form of the release agent containing antibodies is adapted to the physical form of the corresponding detergent or additive. For the granulated and powdered detergent and cleaning products, the antibodies and release agents can be contained in a granulate. Said antibody granulate may suitably contain various granulation aids, binders, fillers, plasticizers, lubricants, cores and the like. Examples thereof include cellulose (i.e. cellulosic fibers or in microcrystalline form), cellulose derivative (CMS, MC, HPC, HPMC), gelatin, starch, dextrins, sugars, polyvinylpyrrolidone, PVA, PEG, salts (i.e., sulfate of sodium, calcium sulfate), titanium dioxide, talc, clays (caolin or pentonite) and nonionic surfactants. Other materials of relevance for incorporation into the granulate are described in EP 304 331. The release agent can be, for example, a coating. Said coating protects said granules in the washing environment for a certain period. The coating is normally applied to said granulates in an amount in the range of 1% to 50% by weight (calculated on the weight basis of the uncoated, dry granules), preferably in the range of 5% to 40% by weight . The amount of coating to be applied to said granulates depends to a large extent on the nature of the composition of the desired coating, and on the kind of protection that said coating must offer to said granulates. For example, the thickness of said coating or a multilayer coating applied in any of the above granulates can determine the period in which the content of said granulates is released. A possible multiple layer coating can be a coating in which, for example, a quick release coating is applied in a slow release coating. Similarly, the cogranulates can be constructed by converting the detergent enzyme and a rapid release agent into the outer layer, and in the inner core, the antibody and a slow release agent. Suitable release coatings are the coatings that give rise to the release of the contents of the granules containing antibodies under the conditions prevailing during the use thereof. Thus, for example, when a preparation of the invention is to be introduced into a washing liquor containing a washing detergent (typically comprising, for example, one or more types of surfactants), the coating must be such that ensure the release of the contents of said granules from the release agent when it is introduced into the washing medium. The preferred release coating are coatings that are substantially insoluble in water. The release coatings which are suitable in the washing means may suitably comprise substances selected from the following: cellulose and cellulose derivatives, PVA, PVP, tallow; hydrogenated tallow; partially hydrolyzed tallow; fatty acids and fatty alcohols of natural and synthetic origin; long chain fatty acid mono- di- and glycerol triesters (ie, glycerol monostearate); ethoxylated fatty alcohols; latexes; hydrocarbon melting point in the 50-80 ° C scale; and waxes. Fusion coating agents are a preferred class of fast or slow release coating agents that can be used without dilution with water. Reference can be made to Controlled Relay Systems: Fabrication Technology, Vol. I, CRC Press, 1988, for more information on slow release coating. The coatings may further comprise - suitably substances such as clays (eg, kaolin), titanium dioxide, pigments, salts (such as calcium carbonate) and the like. The person skilled in the art is aware of other coating constituents of importance in the present invention. In liquid detergent compositions, the antibody can be incorporated as a particle dispersion containing, in addition to the antibody, a release agent. The antibody can be present in a liquid or solid form. Suitable particles consist of a porous hydrophobic material, ie, silica with an average pore diameter of 500 Angstroms or greater) containing the pores an antibody solution and a surfactant as described in EP 583 512 of Surutzidis A and others. The release agent can be a coating that protects said particles in the wash cycle for a certain period. The coating is preferably a hydrophobic coating material such as the liquid hydrophobic polymer. Said polymer can be an organo polysiloxane oil, alternatively a hydrocarbon of high molecular weight or water insoluble but with polymeric material permeable to water such as carboxymethyl cellulose, PVA, PVP. The polymer properties are selected to achieve a proper release profile of the antibody in the wash solution.
Enzyme protease The proteolytic enzymes are incorporated in the detergent compositions of the present invention at a level of from 0.0001% to 2%, preferably from 0.001% to 0.2%, more preferably from 0.005% to 0.1% by weight of pure enzyme of the composition. The proteolytic enzyme can be of various origins, for example, produced by mammals, plants or microorganisms. Its origin can also be mesophilic or extremophile (psychrophilic, psychrotrophic, thermophilic, barophilic, alkalophilic, acidophilic, halophilic, etc.). Microorganisms are preferred producers of proteolytic enzymes. More preferred are serine proteases of bacterial origin. Purified or non-purified forms of these enzymes can be used. Also included by definition, they are mutants of native enzymes. Mutants can be obtained, for example, by protein engineering and / or genetic engineering, as well as by chemical and / or physical modifications of native enzymes. A common practice is also the expression of the enzyme by the host organism in which the genetic material responsible for the production of the enzyme has been cloned. Suitable proteases are the subtilisins that are obtained from particular strains of B. subtilis and B. licheniformis (subtilisins BPN and BPN '). A suitable protease is obtained from a strain of Bacillus, which has a maximum activity through the pH scale of 8-12, developed and sold as ESPERASER by Novo Industries A / S of Denmark, hereinafter "Novo". The preparation of said enzyme and analogous enzymes is described in GB 1,243,784 of Novo. Other suitable proteases include ALCALASER, DURAZYMR and SAVINASER from Novo and MAXATASER, MAXACALR, PROPERASER and MAXAPEMR (protein produced by Maxacal) from Gist-Brocades. The proteolytic enzymes also comprise modified bacterial serine proteases, such as those described in European Patent Application Serial No. 87303761.8, issued April 28, 1987 (particularly pages 17, 24 and 98), and which in the present are called "Protease B", and in the European patent application 199,404, Venegas, published on October 29, 1986, which refers to the modified bacterial serine proteolytic enzyme which is called "Protease A" in the present .

Protease C is described in EP 90915958: 4, corresponding to WO 91/06637, published May 16, 1991. Genetically modified variants, particularly of protease C, are also included herein. The preferred protease, referred to as "Protease D", is a variant of a carbonyl hydrolase having an amino acid sequence but found in nature, which is derived from a carbonyl hydrolase precursor by substituting a different amino acid for a plurality of amino acids. amino acid residues at a position in said carbonyl and hydrolase equivalent at position +76, preferably also at * 5 combination with one or more amino acid residue positions equivalent to those selected from the group consisting of +99, +10, +103, +104, +107, +123, +27, +105, +109, +126 , +128, +135, +156, +166, +195, +197, +204, +206, +210, +216, +217, +218, +222, +260, +265, and / or + 274 according to the number of 0 subtilisin of Bacillus amiloliquefaciens, as described in WO95 / 10591 and in the patent application C.

See also a high pH protease from Bacillus sp. 0 NCIMB 40338 described in WO93 / 18140 A de Novo. Enzymatic detergents comprising protease, one or more enzymes, and a reversible protease inhibitor are described in WO 92/03529 A of Novo. When desired, a protease having reduced absorption and increased hydrolysis is available as described in WO 95/07791 to Procter & amp; amp; amp;; Gamble. A protease similar to the recombinant trypsin for detergent suitable herein is described in WO 94/25583 of Novo. Other suitable proteases are described in EP 516 200 by Unilever. * The composition of the present invention may also include protease enzymes which are variants of carbonyl hydrolase that do not occur naturally and which have proteolytic activity, stability, specific character of the substrate, pH profile and / or different performance characteristics, in comparison with the carbonyl hydrolase precursor of which the amino acid sequence of the variant is derived. As mentioned above, the protease enzymes are designed to have specific character similar to trypsin and also preferably be stable in bleach. The precursor carbonyl hydrolase can be a naturally occurring hydroxylase or hydroxylase hydroxylase. Specifically, said carbonyl hydrolase variants have an amino acid sequence not found in nature, which is derived by replacing a plurality of amino acid residues of a precursor carbonyl hydrolase with 0 different amino acids. The plurality of amino acid residues of the precursor enzyme correspond to the +210 position in combination with one or more of the following residues: +33, +62 +67, +76, +100, +101, +103, +104, +107, +128, +129, +130, +132, +135, +156, +158, +164, +166, +167, +170, +209, 5 +215, +217, +218 and + 222, wherein the numbered position corresponds to Bacillus amiloliquefaciens subtilisin occurring naturally or to equivalent amino acid residues in other carbonyl hydrolases or subtilisins, such as Bacillus lentus subtilisin. * The sarbonyl hydrolase variants that are enzymes J5 proteases useful in the compositions of the present invention comprise the replacement of amino acid residue +210 in combination with one or more additional modifications.

The precise nature of said additional components, and levels of incorporation thereof depend on the physical form of the composition, and the nature of the cleaning operation for which they are to be used. The detergent compositions according to the invention can be liquids, pastes, gels, sticks, tablets, powder and granular forms. The granulated compositions can also be found in the "compact" form, the liquid compositions can also be found in a "concentrated" form. The compositions of the invention can, for example, be formulated as hand and machine laundry detergent compositions including laundry additive compositions and compositions suitable for use in the rinsing and / or pretreatment of soiled fabrics and in fabric softening compositions added during the rinse. Such compositions can provide fabric cleaning, stain removal, maintenance of whiteness, softness, color appearance and dye transfer inhibition benefits. When formulated as compositions suitable for use in a machine laundry method for laundry, the compositions of the invention preferably contain a surfactant and a builder compound and additionally one or more detergent components preferably selected from the polymeric compounds. organic, bleaching agents, additional enzymes, foam suppressants, dispersants, soap dispersants, soil sludge and anti-rejection agents and corrosion inhibitors. The laundry compositions may also contain softening agents as additional detergent components. The compositions of the present invention can also be used as detergent additive products comprising an antibody directed against protease, and will be added to conventional detergent-containing detergent compositions. The detergent additives may also comprise the protease and the antibody directed against it. Said additive products are intended to supplement or increase the performance of conventional detergent compositions, and preferably comprise up to 50% by weight of antibodies of the total composition.
