Abstract
The invention concerns peptides used in biological assays for detecting infections caused by group O HIV-1 viruses, the method for preparing them, compositions and kits containing such peptides and the biological assays using such peptides.
Description
SYNTHETIC PEPTIDES USED IN BIOLOGICAL TESTING FOR THE DETECTION OF INFECTIONS DUE TO HIV-1 VIRUSES OF THE GROUP OR
DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The invention relates to synthetic peptides which can be used in biological tests or assays for the detection of infections due to group VIII HIV-1 viruses, their preparation procedure, compositions and equipment containing such peptides, and to the biological tests that put into operation such peptides. The HIV-1 retroviruses of group O are known in the prior art. European Patent EP-0,345,375 and European Patent Application EP-0,657,532 describe the isolates ANT 70 and ANT 70 NA isolated from Cameroonian patients. These documents describe more precisely the antigens and antigenic compositions containing the lysates or proteins of these isolates, the nucleic acids corresponding to the genomic RNA, the hybridization methods that put these nucleic acids into operation, the production methods of the isolates previously named, as well as the
REF .: 31491 procedures for the preparation of the proteins pl2, plß, p25, gp41, gpl20 of these retroviruses. European application EP-0,591,914 describes the isolated MVP 5180/91. This isolate characterized by Western blotting present, as the previous isolate, differences in relation to isolates of the HIV-1 retrovirus known for a long time. The European application EP-0,591,914 describes precisely the DNA sequence of the isolate MVP 5180/91 and indicates precisely the location of the gag, pol and env genes. European application EP-0,591,914 describes even the synthetic peptides of the V3 loop or curl as well as the immunodominant region (gp41). The latter are useful for biological tests, mainly for the detection, in vi tro, of antibodies HIV-l of the group O. The European application EP-0,673,948 describes the synthetic or recombined peptides constituted from 15 to 50 amino acids (AA) and that include the sequence: -VWGIRQLRARLQALETLIQNQQRLNLWGXKGKLIXYTSVKWNTSWSGR- in which X represents either a cysteine residue or a serine residue. These peptides are useful in the diagnostic domain for the detection of infections due to certain HIV-1 group retrovirus isolates. European application EP-0,727,483 is also known, which describes the isolated MVP 2901/94 which is also part of the retroviruses belonging to the HIV-1 family of group 0. This application describes certain antigens that have well-determined peptide sequences. These peptide sequences correspond to a part of the sequence of the gpl20 and a part of the gp41 (immunodominant region) of the MVP 2901/94 isolate. International application WO 96/12809 describes two novel isolates belonging to the HIV-1 family of group 0. These are the VAU and DUR isolates. This application describes certain peptide sequences from two viruses mentioned above, useful for the detection of antibodies that recognize the HIV-1 VAU or DUR peptide sequences. International application WO 96/32293 describes two antigens from the sequence of the isolated ANT 70. It is the antigen called MDL061 and the antigen MDL056, from the immunodominant region of gp41. According to this invention, to detect 100% of the samples from a limited collection of sera from patients infected with the HIV-1 group 0 virus, it is necessary to use compositions containing these two peptides, since each isolated peptide does not allow for yes only to obtain satisfactory results. In fact, it is almost impossible, with respect to the genetic variability revealed by the isolates of the group 0 virus, to guarantee the early serological diagnosis of the contaminated individuals through the use of the antigens coming from it and the only isolated one. This means that it is not possible to obtain reagents that guarantee 100% sensitivity. Group 0 thus causes a major problem for the first time; it is the inadequacy of certain serological reagents to recognize individuals contaminated with particularly divergent groups or subtypes. This is the case precisely for HIV-1 of group O. International application WO 96/40763 also insists on the great divergence of group O. This application describes the peptides that incorporate, in a natural sequence HIV-1 of type B, some small modifications (replacing one or two amino acids). According to this application, these hybrid peptides are capable of reacting with the anti-group 0 antibodies. The application WO 96/27013 describes a series of novel HIV-1 group 0 viruses designated BCF 01, BCF 02, BCF 03, BCF 06, BCF 07, BCF 08, BCF 09, BCF 11, BCF 12, BCF 13 and BCF 14 as well as a series of peptides from the dominant region of the corresponding gp41 named ESS / BCF02, FAN / BCF01, LOB / BCF06, MAN / BCF07, NKO / BCF08, POC / BCF03, NAN / BCF11, BCF09, BCF12, BCF13 and BCF14. A certain number of these peptides are unmanageable in diagnosis because of their weak solubility, mainly the peptide BCF13. Unexpectedly, it has now been found that certain synthetic peptides are superior diagnostic reagents and allow to successfully screen infected patients with group VIII HIV-1 retroviruses. These peptides are composed of variable sequences articulated around short sequences. highly conserved, present in the isolates of the retroviral HIV-l group O. The peptides of the invention allow to obtain results much superior to those obtained with the synthetic peptides carrying immunodominant epitopes of the gp41 (env) of certain isolates of HIV-1 of the group 0. In the subsequent, to name the amino acids, the three-letter nomenclature will be used. The synthetic peptides of the invention correspond to the general formula (I):? -Z-TrpGlyCys-T-CysTyrThrSer-O (I) in which: -? represents a biotinyl radical, a biocytin radical, a hydrogen atom, an acetyl radical (CH3C0-), an aliphatic chain which may contain one or two thiol, aldehyde or amine functional groups, the aliphatic chain is preferably an alkyl chain of 1 to 6 carbon atoms or an alkenyl chain of 2 to 6 carbon atoms, or a chain of α-C6-carbonylcarbonyl, -Z represents a peptide sequence of one of formulas (II) to (X) ): - ?? - Ser-? 2- (II) -Ser-? 2- (III) -? 1 -Gln-? 2- (V) -Gln-? 2- (VI) ?? ~ Asn-? 2- (VI I I) Asn-? 2 - (IX) -Asr? - (X)CD.

The synthetic peptides of the formula (I), object of the present invention, can be obtained by solid phase synthesis according to the classical methods: R.B. Merrifield, J. Amer. Ch em. Soc. (1963), 8_5, pp. 2149-2154; R.C. Sheppard, in "Pepti des 1971", Nesvadba H. (ed.) North Holl and, Ams terdam, pp. 111; E. Atherton and R.L. Sheppard, in < < Sol i d phase pepti de syn thesi s, a practi cal approach », IRL PRESS, (1989), Oxford Uni versi ty Pres s, p. 25-34. As an automatic synthesizer, you can use the synthesizer < < 9050 Plus Pep Synthesizer »by Millipore or an equivalent synthesizer. The solid support, used for the synthesis, must be compatible with the technique and chemistry used. For example, for a synthesis on the synthesizer "9050 Plus pep. Synthesizer", it is recommended to use a resin adapted for the technique called "continuous flow"; PEG PS resins meet these criteria. These supports are constituted by an arm ("spacer") based on polyethylene glycol (PEG) located between the functional group of the polystyrene spheres and the anchoring point of the first amino acid. The nature of this anchor point may vary according to the chosen C-terminal functional group. In the present case, different PEG-PS resins have been used.
The starting resin and the amino acids used as raw materials are commercially available products (PerSeptive-Biosystem, or Néosystem). For peptide synthesis, the following side chain protecting groups have been used:
The temporary protection of the primary amine functional group at the amino acid position, used, is the 9-fluorenylmethyloxycarbonyl group (Fmoc). The deprotection is carried out by means of a 20% piperidine solution in dimethylformamide.
For coupling, an excess of diisopropylcarbodiimide (DIPCDI) and hydroxy-1-benzotriazole (HOBt) is preferably used. After the synthesis, the resin is washed with organic solvents, (dimethylformamide, then dichloromethane) dried under vacuum and then treated with a solution based on trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) cooled to 0 ° C and containing the "scrubbers" appropriate. For example, reagent K containing 82% trifluoroacetic acid, 5% phenol, 5% water, 5% thioanisole and 3% ethanedithiol can be used. After filtration of the resin, the synthetic peptides are precipitated and rinsed with ether. The synthetic peptides are then purified by reverse phase liquid chromatography and their purity is determined by mass spectrometry. As a solid phase, for example, the Bondapak C-18 phase can be used. The peptides are eluted by performing a linear gradient between two buffer solutions, the first being essentially aqueous (eg water-0.1% TFA) and the second organic mass (eg a mixture containing 60% acetonitrile, 39.92% water and trifluoroacetic acid). 0.08%). The collected pure fractions are collected, concentrated in vacuo and lyophilized. For cyclization, the purified synthetic peptides are dissolved in an ammonium acetate solution (10 mM). The pH is adjusted to 8.5 by the addition of 1 M ammonia. The solution is stirred vigorously. The cyclization is completed after 18 hours. The pH is then lowered to 6 by the addition of acetic acid. The cyclized peptides are lyophilized, then purified by reverse phase liquid chromatography as described above. The immunoreactivity of the peptides of the invention has been evaluated with the help of sera from patients of Cameroonian origin infected with retroviruses HIV-l of group 0. The different tests carried out have shown that the peptides of the invention, alone or in combination (compositions of peptides), allow to detect 100% of the sera infected with the HIV-l retrovirus of group 0. The synthetic peptides of the invention find their application in the immunological tests for the follow-up or detection of infections due to the HIV-1 retroviruses of the group O. It is also possible to use combinations of several synthetic peptides of the formula I. These associations, which may have two or more peptides of the formula I, also form part of the invention. Associations containing the peptides No. 1 (2B) and No. 3 (4B) are preferred. It is also possible to use the synthetic peptides of the formula (I) of the present invention in association with recombinant peptides (recombinant proteins) HIV-1 of the group O such as can be obtained by the classical methods and having the sequences described for example in European application EP-0, 591, 914. Such compositions also fall within the scope of the present invention. The synthetic peptides of the invention can also be used in association with other synthetic peptides or recombined with HIV-1.
(recombinant proteins) and / or HIV-2, such as the peptides described in European patent applications or patents EP-0, 387, 914, EP-0, 239, 425, EP-0,220,273, or EP-0, 267 , 802. This list of patent applications, or patents is not exhaustive and is given as an example. The compositions containing one or several synthetic peptides of the formula (I) and one or more synthetic or recombinant peptides HIV-1 or HIV-2 find their application in diagnosis for the early detection of patients infected with different HIV retroviruses. These compositions also form part of the present invention. Immunosupication procedures using one or more synthetic peptides of the formula (I), alone or in association with the recombined peptides HIV-1 of the group O or the synthetic or recombined peptides HIV-1 and / or HIV-2, also form part of the invention. The invention also contemplates the equipment for the operation of immuno-dilutions, which include a peptide of the formula (I) or a composition containing at least one peptide of the formula (I). The following examples illustrate the invention and are given in a non-limiting manner.

This peptide has been synthesized in solid phase. The technique developed in 1963 by Merrifield (J. Am. Chem. Soc (1963) 8_5, pp. 2149-2154) consists of fixing the first amino acid on a solid polymeric support (resin) by its functional group and lengthening the peptide sequence from this first amino acid, leaving the peptide in the process of synthesis anchored on the resin. For the synthesis of peptide No. 2, the synthesizer "9050 Plus Pep Synthetizer" and, as resin, the resin Fmoc Thr (OtBu) PEG PS have been used as the synthesizer. The different stages of the synthesis are summarized in the following Table I:

After the end of the synthesis, the resin is washed with dimethylformamide, and then with dichloromethane and dried under vacuum. Next, the resin is treated with reagent K (82% trifluoroacetic acid, 5% phenol, 5% water, 5% thioanisole, 3% ethanedithiol). Peptide No. 2 (3B) is isolated by precipitation with the aid of diethyl oxide, and is then rinsed with the same solvent. 140 mg of peptide No. 2 (3B) is thus obtained. Peptide No. 2 (3B) was then purified by reverse phase liquid chromatography. As a solid phase, the Bondapac C-18 phase was used. The peptide was eluted by performing a linear gradient in two buffer solutions, the first being essentially aqueous (for example water-0.1% TFA) and the second more organic (for example, a mixture containing: 60% acetonitrile, 39.92% water and 0.08% TFA). The collected pure fractions were then pooled, concentrated in vacuo and lyophilized.
For cyclization, the purified synthetic peptide, obtained in this way was dissolved in a solution of ammonium acetate (10 M). The pH was adjusted to 8.5 by the addition of ammonia ÍM. The solution was vigorously agitated. The cyclization was completed after 18 hours. The pH was then lowered to 6 by the addition of acetic acid. The cyclized peptide was lyophilized, then purified by reverse phase liquid chromatography as described above.

EXAMPLE 2:
Evaluation of the immunoreactivity of the peptides according to the invention by means of the immunoenzymatic test: Test No. 1
The sera used ESS, DUR, VAU and HAD are sera of French patients infected with retroviruses HIV-l group O. The other samples of sera from patients infected with retroviruses HIV-1 group O were obtained by the Pasteur Center of Yaunde in Cameroon and have been serotyped as OR groups according to the serological algorithm described in AIDS (1977), _H, pp. 445-453. HIV negative sera (n = 48) were obtained from healthy volunteers. The synthetic peptides used were dissolved in water at a concentration of 1 mg / ml (stock solution). For the sensitization step of the solid phase (coating), 110 μl of a 2 μg / ml solution of each peptide (obtained by diluting the stock solution with microtitre microtitre plates (NUNC) was added to each dome of the microtiter plates. the carbonate buffer solution O.lM). After overnight incubation at room temperature, the microplates were first washed with a Tris NaCl buffer solution pH 7.4, which contained 0.1% Tween® 20 and 0.001% sodium mertiolate, then saturated with a PBS solution containing 0.5% Régilait ™ (skimmed milk powder). After aspiration of the saturation solution, the plates were heated for 10 minutes at 50 ° C. The samples of the sera were diluted to 1/5 with a solution of skim milk
(citrate buffer added with 0.01% phenol red, with 0.25% chloroform and with Kathon® al
0. 25%), deposited on the domes of the plates and placed to incubate for 30 minutes at 40 ° C. After washing with a buffer solution of Tris NaCl pH 7.4 containing 0.1% Tween® and 0.001% sodium mertiolate, 100 μl of a conjugated horse anti-IgG antibody solution was added to each plate dome. Human IgM labeled with horseradish peroxidase, containing as preservative 0.01% sodium merthiolate, in solution in a buffer solution of citrate added with 30% glycerol and 25% normal fetal calf serum, then the plates were placed incubate for 30 minutes at 40 ° C.
After washing with a buffer solution Tris NaCl pH 7.4 containing 0.1% Tween and 0.001% sodium mertiolate, the development of the coloration was obtained by adding, in each dome, 100 μl of O-phenylenediamine in solution in hydrogen peroxide. The microplates were then placed to incubate for 30 minutes at room temperature and in the dark. The colored reaction was then stopped by addition of 100 μl of 4N sulfuric acid. Absorbance (A) was determined at 490 and 620 nm. The relative absorbance (A490-A620) related in each dome is proportional to the immunoreactivity of each peptide. This indicates the ability of each peptide to react with the biological sample with which the assay is performed. The value alone (cut) has been determined as an absorbance equal to 0.15. This corresponds to the mean of the negative values (n = 48) plus 12 standard deviations. The reactivity of the peptides of the invention (peptide No. 3 (4B), peptide No. 2 (3B) and peptide No. 1 (2B) all under the cyclized form) has been compared to that of two synthetic peptides having as sequence a part of the natural envelope sequence (env) of the isolate VAU (retroviruses HIV-1 group O) and including an immunodominant epitope of gp41. These two peptides have the following sequence:
VAU 22 AA Leu Leu Asn Leu Trp Gly Cys Lys Asn Arg Wing He Cys Tyr 1 5 10 Thr Ser Val Lys Trp Asn Lys Thr 15 20 22
VAU 35 AA Arg Leu Leu Ala Leu Glu Thr Phe He Glu Glu Asn Glu Leu 1 5 10 Leu Asn Leu Trp Gly Cys Lys Asn Arg Wing He Cys Tyr Thr 15 20 25 Ser Val Lys Trp Asn Lys Thr 30 35
For the study, these peptides were used in the cyclized form. The results of this study are indicated in Table IV.
Table IV
* serotypes / genotypes ** > = signal greater than the reading capacity of the spectrophotometer Table IV (continued)
* serotypes / genotypes ** > = signal higher than the reading capacity of the spectrophotometer *** Not tested
The results of Table IV demonstrate that peptide No. 3 (4B) has the best performances with respect to those obtained for the other peptides. This peptide allows the best discrimination of the sera of the patients infected with HIV-1 retroviruses of group O with respect to two peptides that have a part of the sequence of the VAU isolate corresponding to the immunodominant epitope of gp41. On the other hand, the peptides No. 2 (3B) and No. 1 (2B) of the invention are more immunoreactive than the peptide VAU 22 AA which includes the same number of amino acids.
EXAMPLE 3:
Evaluation by immunoenzymatic test of the immunoreactivity of the peptides according to the invention: Test No. 2
Serum samples from patients infected with HIV-1 retroviruses of group O were obtained by the Pasteur Center of Yaunde in Cameroon and have been serotyped as group O according to the serological algorithm described in AIDS (1977), 1, 1, p. 445-453. A sample (Maryland) genotyped comes from the United States. These samples were previously diluted in human serum negative at the dilutions given in Table V, in order to deposit a sufficient volume for the different immunoreactivity assays.
The synthetic peptides used were dissolved in water at a concentration of 1 mg / mg
(mother solution). For the stage of sensitization of the solid phase ("coating"), we proceeded as described for Example 2. The samples of sera were diluted to 1/5 with a solution of skim milk (in citrate buffer added with 0.01% phenol red, 0.25% chloroform, and 0.25% Kathon), deposited in the plate domes and placed "to incubate for 30 minutes at 40 ° C. After washing with a Tris NaCl buffer solution containing pH 7.4 0.1% Tween® 20 and 0.001% sodium mertiolate, 100 μl of horseradish peroxidase-labeled horse anti-human IgM and IgM horseradish antibody conjugate solution were added to each plate dome. 0.01% sodium mertiolate, in solution in a buffer solution of citrate added with 30% glycerol and with normal serum of 25% fetal calf, then these plates were put to incubate for 30 minutes at 40 ° C. washed, a buffer solution Tris NaCl pH 7.4 containing 0.1% Tween® 20 and 0.001% sodium mertiolate, the development of the coloration was obtained as already discovered in Example 2. The relative absorbance (OD) (A490-A620) bound in each dome is proportional to the immunoreactivity of each peptide. This indicates the ability of each peptide to react with the biological sample with which the assay is performed. The reactivity of the peptides of the invention, peptides No. 10 (14B), No. 11 (18B), No. 12 (19B), No. 14 (21B), No. 15 (22B), No. 16 (23B) ) all under the cyclized form, was compared that of three homologous synthetic peptides, which have as a sequence a part of the natural envelope sequence (env) of the HIV-l retrovirus of group O. These peptides are two peptides derived from the isolated VAU , -the peptide VAU 22 AA and the peptide VAU 35 AA- and the peptide MVP 5180 (designated "MVP 5180" in Table V). The VAU 22 AA and VAU 35 AA peptides (whose structure is indicated in Example 2) and the MVP 5180 peptide include an immunodominant epitope of gp41. All these peptides were used in the cyclized form. The sequence of peptide MVP 5180 is as follows:
MVP 5180 Arg Leu Gln Ala Leu Glu Thr Leu He Gln Asn Gln Gln Arg
1 5 10 Leu Asn Leu Trp Gly Cys Lys Gly Lys Leu He Cys Tyr Thr 15 20 25 Ser Val Lys Trp Asn Thr Ser 30 35
The results of this study are indicated in Table V.
Table V
SOLID PHASE *: PEPTIDO 2 μg / ml
For each peptide tested, the samples were classified into four classes (a, b, c, and d) corresponding to various levels of relative absorbance linked to the wavelengths A492-A620:
• - for a: DO < 0.100, • - for b: 0.100 < DO < 0,500, • - for c: 0,500 < DO < 1,000, • - for d: DO > 1, 000, thus allowing to evaluate the degree of immunoreactivity of the peptides. The most immunoreactive peptides are those for which the largest number of samples is found in the classes corresponding to the highest absorbances.
The results are indicated in Table VI
Table VI
SOLID PHASE *: PEPTIDO 2 μg / ml
The results show that all the peptides of the invention tested perform a better function in immunoreactivity than the reference peptides of the prior art which are derived from the natural isolates (MVP 5180, VAU). The peptides of the invention No. 15 (22B), No. 14 (21B), and No. 16 (23B) prove to be the most immunoreactive.
