Description

DETERGENT COMPOSITIONS COMPRISING OXIDE REDUCTASE ANTIBODY FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to detergent compositions comprising an antibody for controlling deactivation of the bleach in the washing process, due to the presence of donor: hydrogen peroxide oxide reductase enzyme.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION An important part of the system that protects vertebrates against infections by bacteria and viruses is the humoral immune system. Specialized cells present in bone marrow, lymphoid tissues and blood, produce immunoglobulins (antibodies) that appear in response to the introduction of micro- or macromolecules foreign to the body, and that attach to the surface of the structure foreign to it, initiating its destruction . This molecule foreign to the body is called antigen. The antibody is directed against the antigenic determinant or hapten of the antigen, for example, an amino acid sequence, parts of oligosaccharides, polysaccharides, lipopolysaccharides, glycoproteins, lipoproteins and lipoteichoic acids.
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 antigen that induces their formation. Several applications of such highly specific antigen-antibody recognition and binding have been discovered; such as the recognition agent, the binding agent or carrier agent in various domains such as 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. EP 481 701 describes treatment compositions for topical application containing microcapsules comprising a beneficial agent in a targeted location, the microcapsules having an antibody or specific antibody fragment in the target location or a lectin. The document O92 / 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 Epstein-Barr virus specific polypeptides for the production of antibodies and the diagnosis and treatment of said disease are described in WO94 / 06470. Oral compositions comprising antibodies for the treatment of anticaries or periodontal diseases are described extensively in WO95 / 01155, 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 hair compositions containing an antibody to the hair, or hair extract, obtained from the egg yolk or of poultry immunized with the hair or hair extract of a polymer emulsion to provide reduced damage to the hair, softness, moisture sensation and softness; said composition is absorbed only in a specific part of the hair. Compositions containing antagonists (tyrphostins or antibodies) against epidermal growth and transformation factors, suitable for use in the treatment of acne are described in document 095/24896. 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 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 a heavy chain of camelidae immunoglobulins. The use of antibodies in the general context of detergency has been suggested in Unilever Researchprijs "Molecule zoekt partner" 1992, where modified antibodies directed against specific strains are proposed to be used in the bleaching process. The detergent compositions today include a complex combination of active ingredients that meet certain specific needs: A surfactant system, enzymes that provide cleaning and fabric care benefits, bleaching agents, a builder system, foam suppressors , dirt suspending agents, soil release agents, optical brighteners, softening agents, dispersants, compounds for the inhibition of dye transfer, abrasives, bactericides and perfumes, and their overall performance has also been improved over time. However, there is still a need, by the consumer, for better removal of stains and / or dirt, maintenance of improved whiteness, softness and care of improved fabrics, and better disinfection with reduced detergent dosage.
Current detergent formulations generally include a bleaching system based on hydrogen peroxide or hydrogen peroxide together with a bleach activator, wherein the bleach activator is transformed into the active bleaching species (peroxy acid) by the action of the peroxide of hydrogen. One of the most common problems in the analysis of the bleaching performance of said detergents is the catalytic loss of bleaching activity due to the donor: hydrogen peroxide reductase enzyme, and especially catalase. The donor system: hydrogen peroxide reductase enzyme are enzymes produced by microorganisms developed on soils and stains present in fabrics, crockery and hard surfaces, and by the human body, and excreted in body fluids. The donor: hydrogen peroxide reductase enzyme are therefore found in body blemishes and / or dirt present in fabrics, crockery and hard surfaces. These enzymes catalyze the direct conversion of hydrogen peroxide into water, reducing the amount of hydrogen peroxide available in the wash solution for direct bleaching or for the perhydrolysis of the bleach activator in the active bleaching peracid. There is therefore a technical challenge to identify ways to block the catalytic activity of the donor: hydrogen peroxide reductase enzyme, and especially the catalase enzyme, to avoid premature loss of the active bleaching agent in the washing solution. The above need has been covered by specific detergent compositions intended for laundry, dishwashing and hard surface cleaning, containing an antibody directed against the donor: hydrogen peroxide reductase enzyme, and especially catalase enzyme, during the process of cleaning. It has also surprisingly been found that antibodies directed specifically against the donor: hydrogen peroxide reductase enzyme, and especially towards catalase enzymes, block the catalytic activity of the enzyme and thus improve the yield under washing conditions of high content of dirtiness This finding also reduces the level of bleaching agents in the detergent, while providing an equal cleaning performance. In addition, the environmental profile of said detergent compositions is therefore improved.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to detergent compositions comprising a source of hydrogen peroxide, optionally a bleach activator and an antibody to control the deactivation of the hydrogen peroxide bleach in the wash solution due to the presence of donor: hydrogen peroxide reductase enzyme, and especially catalase enzyme.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Antibody An essential element of the detergent compositions of the present invention is an antibody. 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 producing 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 invention, much 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 composed of 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 They differ from those found in antibodies produced in other forms, especially sequences at the end of 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 the antiserum, milk or eggs according to the ordinary antibody purification method which includes the purification method, Polson extraction, filtration chromatography, gel, ion exchange chromatography , affinity chromatography and the like, the purification method that uses 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 S. 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. Antibodies can be produced against any donor. -hydrogen peroxide reductase enzyme of class EC 1.11.1 which covers the oxidoreductase heme proteins, seleno cysteine oxidoreductases and flavoprotein oxidoreductases, and against cytochromes. The group of cytochromes includes all intracellular electron transfer hemoproteins, and includes cytochromes a, b, c, and d. In particular, antibodies against the haemoproteins belonging to the EC classification 1.11.1.6 which comprise catalases and pseudocatalases are produced, being a manganese protein containing Mn (III) in the resting state. The Catalase, although derived from different organisms, presents a high degree of structural similarities, and the antibodies produced against a specific catalase have the ability to bind to any catalase of EC.1.11.1.6, providing cross-reactivity. Said antibodies will preferably be included in the detergent compositions of the present invention at a level of 10E-6% at 10E + 1% by weight of the total composition. More preferably, for monoclonal antibodies, the level of donor: antibody directed against hydrogen peroxide reductase will be from 3 × 10E-5% to 10E-3%, more preferably from 6 × 10E-5% to 7 × 10E-4% by weight of the total composition. More preferably for antibody fragments, the level of donor: antibody directed against hydrogen peroxide reductase oxide, will be from 10E-5% to 9xlOE-3%, more preferably from 3xlOE-5% to 4xlOE-4% by weight of the total composition. It has surprisingly been found that the immunoinhibition of the donor: hydrogen peroxide reductase enzyme, is especially observed in the process. Without wishing it to be limited by theory, it is thought that the immunoinhibition of the donor: hydrogen peroxide oxide reductase enzyme, is improved by the presence of fabrics. It is further thought that the adsorption of the donor: hydrogen peroxide reductase enzyme on the fabric, makes the enzyme more accessible for inhibition by the antibody.
The bleaching agent The detergent compositions of the present invention may further include bleaching agents such as hydrogen peroxide, PBl, PB4 and percarbonate with a particle size of 400-800 microns. These bleaching agent components may include one or more oxygen bleaching agents and, depending on the bleaching agent chosen, one or more bleach activators. When present, oxygen bleach compounds will typically be present at levels of about 1% to about 25%. The bleaching agent component for use herein may be any of the bleaching agents useful for detergent compositions including oxygen bleaching as well as others known in the art. The bleaching agent suitable for the present invention can be an activated or non-activated bleaching agent. A category of oxygen bleaching agent that can be used encompasses percarboxylic acid bleaching agents and salts thereof. Suitable examples of this class of agents include in magnesium monoperoxyphthalate hexahydrate, the magnesium salt of meta-chloroperbenzoic acid, 4-nonylamino-4-oxoperoxybutyric acid and diperoxydecanedioic acid. Such bleaching examples are set forth in U.S. Patent 4,483,781, the patent application of E.U.A. 740,446, European patent application 0,133,354 and US patent 4,412,934. The agents ofHighly preferred bleaching include 6-nonylamino-6-oxoperoxycaproic acid as described in the US patent. 4,634,551. Another category of bleaching agents that can be used encompasses halogen bleaching agents. Examples of hypohalogenite bleaching agents, for example, include isocyanuric acid and dichloroisocyanurates and sodium and potassium N-chloro- and N-bromo-alkan-sulfonamides. Such materials are usually added to 0.5-10% by weight of the finished product, preferably, 1-5% by weight. The hydrogen peroxide releasing agents can be used in combination with the bleach activators such as tetraacetylethylenediamine (TAED), nonanoyloxybenzenesulfonate (NOBS, described in US 4,412,934), 3,5, -trimethylhexanoloxybenzenesulfonate (ISONOBS, described in EP 120,591) or pentaacetylglucose (PAG) or N-nonanoyl-6-aminocaproic acid phenoisulfonate-ether (NACA-OBS, described in WO94 / 28106), which are perhydrolyzed to form a peracid as the active bleaching species, producing an improved bleaching effect. Acylated citrate esters such as are disclosed in European Patent Application No. 91870207.7 are also suitable activators. Useful bleaching agents, including peroxyacids comprising bleach activators and peroxygen bleach compounds are described for use in detergent compositions according to the invention, in applications USSN 08 / 136,626, PCT / US95 / 07823, W095 / 27772, W095 / 27773, W095 / 27774 and W096 / 27775.

A bleaching composition comprising a peroxy compound, a manganese-containing bleach catalyst and a chelating agent is described in patent application No. 948702206.3. Bleaching agents other than oxygen bleaching agents and which can be used herein are also known in the art. One type of oxygen free bleaching agent of particular interest includes photoactivated bleaching agents such as zinc phthalocycins and / or sulfonated aluminum. These materials can be deposited on the substrate during the washing process. By irradiation with light, in the presence of oxygen, for example by hanging clothes outside to dry in daylight, activated zinc phthalocyanine is activated and, consequently, the substrate is bleached. The preferred zinc phthalocyanine and a photoactivated bleaching process are described in the U.S.A. 4,033,718.

The extraction of the antibodies from the egg yolk was done in accordance with the Polson extraction method, as described in Immunological Investigation 19, 1990, pp 253-258. A catalase solution was prepared (50U at lOOU / ml) and incubated with 0.04 g of Polson extract for 30 minutes. An aliquot of 100 microliters of this incubated solution was added to a solution of hydrogen peroxide. Inactivation of catalase was measured according to the enzymatic catalase test of Sigma, EC 1.11.1.6. No decrease in the concentration of hydrogen peroxide was observed, demonstrating the complete inactivation of said enzyme.
