Definitions
- This invention relates to methods for making and using and compositions containing Epstein Barr virus (EBV) gp350 DNA and protein sequences.
- EBV Epstein Barr virus
- Epstein-Barr virus a member of the herpesvirus group causes infectious mononucleosis in humans.
- the disease affects more than 90% of the population.
- Health analysts estimate the cost of the disease in the United States is 100 million dollars per year.
- the virus is spread primarily by exchange of saliva from individuals who shed the virus.
- Children infected with EBV are largely asymptomatic or have very mild symptoms, while adolescents and adults who become infected develop typical infectious mononucleosis, characterized by fever, pharyngitis, and adenopathy. People who have been infected maintain anti-EBV antibodies for the remainder of their lives, and are thus immune to further infection.
- EBV vaccine There is no commercially available EBV vaccine.
- EBV has been shown to transform lymphocytes into rapidly dividing cells and has therefore been implicated in several different lymphomas, including Burkitt's lymphoma and oral hairy leukoplakia. EBV has also been detected in tissue samples from nasopharyngeal tumors. Worldwide it is estimated that 80,000 cases of nasopharyngeal cancer occur and it is more prevalent in ethnic Chinese populations.
- a subunit vaccine uses one or more antigenic proteins from the virus that will elicit an immune response and confer immunity.
- EBV proteins Two of the more important antigenic EBV proteins are glycoprotein(s) gp350/300 and gp220/200 that form part of the viral membrane envelope and allow virus particles to bind to and enter human target cells by interacting with the cellular membrane protein, CD21. See Nemerow, J. Virology 61:1416(1987). They have long been singled out as subunit vaccine candidates but difficulties in obtaining antigenically active protein purified from native sources and low yields from recombinantly produced sources have hampered efforts of researcher and vaccine developers. In the literature these proteins are referred to using a variety of molecular weight ranges (350 or 300 kilodaltons (kD) for one of the proteins and 220 or 200 kDs for the other protein).
- molecular weight ranges 350 or 300 kilodaltons (kD) for one of the proteins and 220 or 200 kDs for the other protein.
- the gp350 or 300 protein is herein referred to as gp350 protein and the gp220 or 200 protein is herein referred to as gp220 protein. Collectively, both proteins are herein referred to as gp350/220 protein(s).
- An alternatively spliced, single gene encodes the gp350/220 proteins and results in the generation of gp350 and gp220 mRNA transcripts; no naturally occurring variations in the gp350/220 gene splice sites are known.
- the gene produces two expression products, the gp350 and gp220 proteins.
- the open reading frame for the gp350/220 DNA sequence is 2721 base pairs (bp).
- the entire reading frame encodes the 907 amino acids of gp350. See U.S. Pat. No. 4,707,358 issued to Kieff (1987).
- the spliced version of the reading frame covers 2130 bases and translates into gp220 protein, a 710 amino acid sequence.
- the theoretical molecular weights of gp350 protein and gp220 protein are 95 kD and 70 kD, respectively.
- the measured molecular weights of expressed gp350 protein and gp220 protein vary but are approximately 350 kilodaltons and 220 kilodaltons (kD), respectively.
- the extensive glycosylation of the proteins accounts for difference between the predicted and actual molecular weights.
- both gp350 and gp220 proteins are produced at a molar ratio ranging from about 6:1 to 1:1. For example, in B95-8 cells, which are persistently infected with EBV, the ratio appears to vary but sometimes approaches the 6:1 range. See, Miller, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci . 69:383(1972).
- gp350/220 proteins have been expressed in rat pituitary, Chinese hamster ovary VERO (African green monkey kidney) cells, as well as in yeast cells. See, Whang, J. Virol . 61:1796(1982), Motz, Gene 44:353(1986) and Emini, Virology 166:387(1988).
- a bovine papillomavirus virus expression system has also been used to make gp350/220 proteins in mouse fibroblast cells. See, Madej, Vaccine 10:777(1992).
- EBV research relating to gp350/220 heretodate has focused either on obtaining efficient expression of the native gp350/220 sequence or on a modified sequence lacking the transmembrane domain, resulting in a mixture of the two alternate spliced versions of the native or transmembrane lacking protein, or on production of epitopic fragment sequences in ⁇ -galactosidase fusion proteins.
- splice sites facilitate the processing of pre-mRNA molecules into mRNA.
- polyoma virus splice sites are required for the efficient accumulation of late mRNA's. Alteration of the 3′ and 5′ splice sites in polyoma virus transcripts decreased or completely blocked mRNA accumulation. See, Treisman, Nature 292:595(198 1).
- excisable intervening sequences facilitate mRNA transport out of the nucleus and mRNA stabilization in the nucleus and because these intron/exon junction sequences facilitate binding of small, nuclear, RNP particles, it is thought that prespliced mRNA's might fail to associate properly with processing pathways.
- EBV biology and disease is generally reviewed in Straus, Annal of Int. Med . 118:45(1993).
- a description of the EBV BLLFI open reading frame is found in Baer, Nature 310:207(1984).
- Descriptions of the Epstein-Barr virus gp350/220 DNA and amino acid sequences are found in articles by Beisel, J. Virology 54:665(1985) and Biggin, EMBO J . 3:1083(1984) and in U.S. Pat. No. 4,707,358 issued to Kieff, et al. (1987).
- this invention provides non-splicing variants of the EBV gp350/220 DNA sequence.
- the DNA sequences of the invention may include an isolated DNA sequence that encodes the expression of homogeneous gp350 protein.
- the DNA sequence coding for gp350 protein is characterized as comprising the same or substantially the same nucleotide sequence in FIG. 1 wherein the native nucleotides at the donor and acceptor splice sites are replaced with non-native nucleotides, and fragments thereof.
- This DNA sequence may include 5′ and 3′ non-coding sequences flanking the coding sequence and further include an amino terminal signal sequence.

- a cell line transformed with a DNA sequence encoding a homogeneous gp350 protein or fragment thereof (or a recombinant DNA molecule as described above) in operative association with a suitable regulatory or expression control sequence capable of controlling expression of the protein is cultured under appropriate conditions permitting expression of the recombinant DNA.
- the expressed protein is then harvested from the host cell or culture medium by suitable conventional means.
- the process may employ a number of known cells as host cells; presently preferred are mammalian cells and insect cells.
- the DNA sequences and proteins of the present invention are useful in the production of therapeutic and immunogenic compounds having EBV antigenic determinants. Such compounds find use in subunit vaccines for the prophylactic treatment and prevention of EBV related diseases, such as mononucleosis, Burkitt's lymphoma and nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Accordingly, in yet another aspect the invention comprises such therapeutic and/or immunogenic pharmaceutical compositions for preventing and treating EBV related conditions and diseases in humans such as infectious mononucleosis, Burkett's lymphoma and nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
- Such therapeutic and/or immunogenic pharmaceutical compositions comprise a immunogenically inducing effective amount of one or more of the homogeneous gp350 proteins of the present invention in admixture with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier such as aluminum hydroxide, saline and phosphate buffered saline as are known in the art.

- compositions and methods comprising cloned EBV DNA sequences encoding non-splicing variants of gp350 protein.
- non-splicing variants are referred to herein as homogeneous gp350 proteins.
- gp350/220 gene when the gp350/220 gene is expressed in mammalian cells two gene products are generated, gp350 and gp220, due to RNA splicing of the gene.
- the invention allows for only one gene product, gp350, to be produced.
- the invention involves removing some or all of the RNA splice site signals in the gp350 gene and expressing the gene in a suitable host cell.
- Mutations in the gp350/220 gene were introduced to prevent production of the 220 kD version of the protein when the gp350/220 gene is expressed in mammalian cells. As a result, mRNA transcripts encoding only gp350 are produced. The elimination of gp220 expression by using a gp350/220 gene non-splicing variant will result in increased production of gp350 relative to gp220. Production of gp220 is not essential for production of an effective anti-EBV vaccine because gp350 contains all the potential antigenic sites found on gp220.
- one aspect of this invention provides a DNA sequence encoding a polypeptide sequence substantially the same as gp350, except that the donor splice site codon encoding amino acid 501 and the acceptor splice site codon encoding amino acid 698 have been modified by replacement of native nucleotides with non-native nucleotides.
- the native nucleotides are replaced with non-native nucleotides such that the amino acid sequence remains the same.
- native nucleotides AAGT at the donor splice site (nucleotides 1500 through 1504) and native nucleotides A and T flanking the GG acceptor splice site (nucleotides 2091 and 2094) were replaced with nucleotides GTCA and T and A, respectively. Consequently, the Glutamine at amino acid position 500 and the Serine at position 501 remained the same as a result of this substitution in the donor site. Likewise, the Threonine at amino acid position 697 and the Glycine at position 698 remained the same as a result of the modification in the acceptor site.
- the invention comprises homogeneous gp350 proteins.
- the homogeneous gp350 proteins are further characterized by having an amino acid sequence substantially the same as that shown in FIG. 1 from amino acids 1 through 907, from amino acids 1 through 862 or from amino acids 1 through 907 and excepting amino acids 863 through 881, each with or without the N-terminal 18 amino acid signal sequence.
- analogs of homogeneous gp350 proteins are provided and include mutants in which there are variations in the amino acids sequence that retain antigenic activity and preferably have a homology of at least 80%, more preferably 90%, and most preferably 95%, with the corresponding region of the homogeneous gp350 proteins.
- Examples include proteins and polypeptides with minor amino acid variations from the amino acid sequence of FIG. 1; in particular, conservative amino acids replacements.
- Conservative replacements are those that take place within a family of amino acids that are related in their side chains.
- Phenylalanine, tryptophan and tyrosine are sometimes classified jointly as aromatic amino acids. For example, it is reasonable to expect that an isolated replacement of a leucine or a similar conservative replacement of an amino acid with a structurally related amino acid will not have a major effect on antigenic activity or functionality.
- the invention offers the advantage of simpler purification of gp350. Because gp350 and gp220 have similar biochemical properties, gp220 is often co-purified in preparations of gp350. Cells expressing only the non-splicing variant of the gp350/220 gene simplifies protein purification. This will reduce the costs of producing gp350.
- the invention also makes biochemical characterization of the starting material for gp350 purification easier. Because only one species is present, protein content analysis and amino acid sequence analysis may be performed without accounting for the presence of a second species.
- the invention additionally offers the advantage of increased gp350 production.
- Prevention of gp350 gene splicing will shift the cell from dual production of gp350 and gp220 to the production of gp350 alone.
- the concentrations of gp220 have been estimated to be 30%-100% of the gp350 concentration.
- gp350 production will be increased by the lack of gp220 production.
- the DNA sequence of the gp350/220 gene is described by Beisel, J. Virology 54:665(1985) and Biggin, EMBO J . 3:1083(1984) and is illustrated in FIG. 1.
- the gene is an open reading frame of 2721 bases, encoding 907 amino acids and specifying a primary translation product of about 95 kD. The difference between predicted and actual values represents extensive glycosylation of the protein. 591 bases (encoding 197 amino acids) are spliced out to produce gp220.
- the apparent molecular weight of gp350/220 gene products may also vary depending upon the type of measurement system used, glycosylation site utilization in different cell types, post-translational processing differences or selective gene mutation.
- gp350/220 gene non-splice site variants vary for the products of different gp350/220 gene non-splice site variants but the term “homogeneous gp350 protein or proteins” encompasses gene products of the non-splicing variant, optionally having additional deletions or mutations such as the C-terminal deletions and/or transmembrane modifications also disclosed herein.
- the term “gp220 protein” refers to the alternatively spliced gp350/220 gene product with a molecular weight of approximately 220 kD. Splice-sites in the gp350/220 gene were identified by comparison of the gp350/220 gene with consensus donor and acceptor splice sequences based on other genes, predominantly from eukaryotic organisms.
- the bases asterisked above represent bases that appear in 100% of all splice sites (highly conserved). Positions with two bases or one base represent conserved positions (non highlighted positions). The slash indicates the actual site of splicing.
- the donor splice site occurs after nucleotide 1501 and the acceptor splice occurs after nucleotide 2092, as shown by DNA sequencing (Biggin, EMBO J . 3:1083(1984)) of the gp350/220 gene. (The numbering used herein and in FIG. 1 conforms to the numbering in Biggin).
- the splice site occurs in the corresponding gene region in the Type B strain of EBV (the donor splice site after A 1501 and the acceptor splice site after G 2029 ).
- the invention encompasses compositions made using either the A or B strain or another EBV strain's splice site to produce a single species of mRNA from the gp350/220 gene.
- the DNA sequence of the Type A form of the virus from strain B95-8 was used in the Examples although the DNA sequence of the Type B strain could equally have been used, because the translated gene products of Type A and B strains are 98% identical.
- the B strain lacks amino acids 507 through 520 and 570 through 576.
- the type A strain was used because it contains all the possible gp350 antigenic sites.
- EBV gp350/220 having strain-specific sequences could be used in accordance with the teachings herein to produce EBV strain-specific homogeneous gp350 proteins having immunogenic properties specific to a particular strain and therefore useful in immunogenic and/or therapeutic compositions for the prevention or treatment of strain specific EBV related diseases.
- Table 1 shows the wild type nucleotide and amino acid sequences of the donor and acceptor splice sites.
- RNA splicing of the gp350/220 gene mutations were introduced into the gp350/220 gene nucleic acid sequence to replace the relevant base pairs of the RNA splice site.
- a splice-site preferably at least one of the bases out of the two highly conserved bases framing the donor site or acceptor site should be replaced with nonconserved bases, more preferably at least two highly conserved bases should be mutated to nonconserved bases.
- Other conserved bases more than two bases away from the splice site, can also be replaced with nonconserved splice site bases to further decrease recognition of the splice site.
- Both the donor and the acceptor site can be changed to impair splicing mechanisms.
- both the donor and the acceptor contain at least one change each, in one of the four highly conserved splice site base positions, and more preferably at least two changes in two of the four highly conserved splice site base positions. If one splice site is not mutable due to a desire to maintain the wild-type amino acid sequence then it is preferable to introduce at least two mutations to the other splice site.
- Mutation at the gp350/220 splice sites may introduce changes into the amino acid sequence of the subsequently expressed gp350 protein.
- changes should be conservative amino acid substitutions.
- Conservative substitutions in the amino acid sequence, as opposed to nonconservative changes in the amino acid sequence, will help preserve antigenic sites.
- Conservative amino acid changes can be made as long as the base change (or base changes) result in a suitable change in the invariant donor/acceptor bases. For example, Gly could be substituted for Ser 501 , at the donor splice site, using any Gly-specific codons other than GGU (use of GGU would preserve the G nucleotide and would not result in the desired GT replacement in the splice signal).
- Gly 698 to Ala would be a conservative change, but since all Ala codons start with the highly conserved G nucleotide, this would not result in the desired replacement.
- Proline also might be a conservative amino acid change, proline would not be used to replace a wild type amino acid because it would result in modification of the tertiary structure of the protein and thereby mask one or more gp350 antigenic sites.
- Table 1 shows the acceptable conservative amino acid replacements in the wild-type sequences. At the bottom of Table 1 is an example of a mutation with conservative amino acid changes.

Description
- This invention relates to methods for making and using and compositions containing Epstein Barr virus (EBV) gp350 DNA and protein sequences.
- Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), a member of the herpesvirus group causes infectious mononucleosis in humans. The disease affects more than 90% of the population. Health analysts estimate the cost of the disease in the United States is 100 million dollars per year. The virus is spread primarily by exchange of saliva from individuals who shed the virus. Children infected with EBV are largely asymptomatic or have very mild symptoms, while adolescents and adults who become infected develop typical infectious mononucleosis, characterized by fever, pharyngitis, and adenopathy. People who have been infected maintain anti-EBV antibodies for the remainder of their lives, and are thus immune to further infection. Currently there is no commercially available EBV vaccine.
- In addition to its infectious qualities, EBV has been shown to transform lymphocytes into rapidly dividing cells and has therefore been implicated in several different lymphomas, including Burkitt's lymphoma and oral hairy leukoplakia. EBV has also been detected in tissue samples from nasopharyngeal tumors. Worldwide it is estimated that 80,000 cases of nasopharyngeal cancer occur and it is more prevalent in ethnic Chinese populations.
- Development of a live, attenuated vaccine for EBV has been and still is problematic. Because of the potential oncogenic nature associated with EBV, researchers have been reluctant to use a live vaccine approach. This invention overcomes the problems associated with live vaccine development by creating methods and compositions for a subunit vaccine, that does not require the use of a potentially oncogenic live virus. A subunit vaccine uses one or more antigenic proteins from the virus that will elicit an immune response and confer immunity.
- Two of the more important antigenic EBV proteins are glycoprotein(s) gp350/300 and gp220/200 that form part of the viral membrane envelope and allow virus particles to bind to and enter human target cells by interacting with the cellular membrane protein, CD21. See Nemerow,J. Virology 61:1416(1987). They have long been singled out as subunit vaccine candidates but difficulties in obtaining antigenically active protein purified from native sources and low yields from recombinantly produced sources have hampered efforts of researcher and vaccine developers. In the literature these proteins are referred to using a variety of molecular weight ranges (350 or 300 kilodaltons (kD) for one of the proteins and 220 or 200 kDs for the other protein). The gp350 or 300 protein is herein referred to as gp350 protein and the gp220 or 200 protein is herein referred to as gp220 protein. Collectively, both proteins are herein referred to as gp350/220 protein(s).
- An alternatively spliced, single gene encodes the gp350/220 proteins and results in the generation of gp350 and gp220 mRNA transcripts; no naturally occurring variations in the gp350/220 gene splice sites are known. The gene produces two expression products, the gp350 and gp220 proteins. The open reading frame for the gp350/220 DNA sequence is 2721 base pairs (bp). The entire reading frame encodes the 907 amino acids of gp350. See U.S. Pat. No. 4,707,358 issued to Kieff (1987). The spliced version of the reading frame covers 2130 bases and translates into gp220 protein, a 710 amino acid sequence. The theoretical molecular weights of gp350 protein and gp220 protein are 95 kD and 70 kD, respectively. The measured molecular weights of expressed gp350 protein and gp220 protein vary but are approximately 350 kilodaltons and 220 kilodaltons (kD), respectively. The extensive glycosylation of the proteins accounts for difference between the predicted and actual molecular weights. In any one cell, both gp350 and gp220 proteins are produced at a molar ratio ranging from about 6:1 to 1:1. For example, in B95-8 cells, which are persistently infected with EBV, the ratio appears to vary but sometimes approaches the 6:1 range. See, Miller,Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 69:383(1972).
- Similarly, recombinant production of these glycoproteins has heretofore usually resulted in a mixture of gp350 and gp220 protein being produced. Heretodate, the gp350/220 proteins have been expressed in rat pituitary, Chinese hamster ovary VERO (African green monkey kidney) cells, as well as in yeast cells. See, Whang,J. Virol. 61:1796(1982), Motz, Gene 44:353(1986) and Emini, Virology 166:387(1988). A bovine papillomavirus virus expression system has also been used to make gp350/220 proteins in mouse fibroblast cells. See, Madej, Vaccine 10:777(1992). Laboratory and vaccine strains of Vaccinia virus have also been used to express gp 350/220 proteins. Modified recombinant versions of the EBV gp350/220 DNA and protein are known in the art. Specifically, recombinant truncated constructs of the gp350/220 gene lacking the membrane spanning sequence have been made. Such constructs still produce a mixture of the two gp 350 and gp220, but deletion of the membrane spanning region permits secretion of the proteins. See, Finerty, J. Gen. Virology 73:449(1992) and Madej, Vaccine 10:777(1992). Also, various recombinantly produced restriction fragments and fusion proteins comprising various gp350/220 sequences have also been made and expressed in E. coli. See EP Patent Publication 0 173 254 published Jul. 24, 1991.
- Accordingly, EBV research relating to gp350/220 heretodate has focused either on obtaining efficient expression of the native gp350/220 sequence or on a modified sequence lacking the transmembrane domain, resulting in a mixture of the two alternate spliced versions of the native or transmembrane lacking protein, or on production of epitopic fragment sequences in β-galactosidase fusion proteins.
- Partially purified preparations of gp350/220 are known. See, Finerty,J. Gen. Virology 73:449(1992) (recombinantly produced, partially purified). With respect to native gp350/220 protein, in most instances, the purification procedures resulted in inactivating the antigenicity of the protein, making it unacceptable for use in a subunit vaccine. However, highly purified preparations of antigenically active gp350 protein from native (i.e., non-recombinant) sources have been reported in the scientific literature. See, David, J. Immunol. Methods 108:231(1988). Additionally recombinant vaccine virus expressing gp350/220 protein was used to vaccinate cottontop tamarins against EBV-induced lymphoma. See, Morgan, J. Med. Virology 25:189(1988), Mackett, EMBO J. 4:3229(1985) and Mackett, VACCINES '86, pp293(Lerner R A, Chanock R M, Brown F Eds., 1986, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory). However, the viral gp350/220 DNA sequence has not heretofore been engineered so as to enable expression solely of either one of the alternate spliced versions of the gene, thereby enabling and ensuring the production of pure gp350 or gp220 protein. Nor has a recombinant or mutant virus been made that expresses one or the other of the gp350 or gp220 proteins.
- Generally, splice sites facilitate the processing of pre-mRNA molecules into mRNA. In polyoma virus, splice sites are required for the efficient accumulation of late mRNA's. Alteration of the 3′ and 5′ splice sites in polyoma virus transcripts decreased or completely blocked mRNA accumulation. See, Treisman,Nature 292:595(198 1). In SV40 virus, excisable intervening sequences facilitate mRNA transport out of the nucleus and mRNA stabilization in the nucleus and because these intron/exon junction sequences facilitate binding of small, nuclear, RNP particles, it is thought that prespliced mRNA's might fail to associate properly with processing pathways. It has been shown that point mutations at exon/intron splice sites reduce exon/intron cleavage and can disrupt pre-mRNA processing, nuclear transport and stability. See, Ryu, J. Virology 63:4386(1989) and Gross, Nature 286:634(1980).
- Therefore, until the present invention, the effect of splice site modification on the functional expression and antigenic activity of the proteins encoded by the EBV gp350/220 sequence was at best unknown and unpredictable.
- Additional background literature includes the following. EBV biology and disease is generally reviewed in Straus,Annal of Int. Med. 118:45(1993). A description of the EBV BLLFI open reading frame is found in Baer, Nature 310:207(1984). Descriptions of the Epstein-Barr virus gp350/220 DNA and amino acid sequences are found in articles by Beisel, J. Virology 54:665(1985) and Biggin, EMBO J. 3:1083(1984) and in U.S. Pat. No. 4,707,358 issued to Kieff, et al. (1987). A comparison of DNA sequences encoding gp350/220 in Epstein-Barr virus types A and B is disclosed in Lees, Virology 195:578(1993). Monoclonal antibodies that exhibit neutralizing activity against gp350/220 glycoprotein of EBV are disclosed in Thorley-Lawson, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 77:5307(1980). Lastly, splice site consensus sequences for donor and acceptor splice sites are disclosed in Mount, Nucleic Acids Res. 10:459(1982).
- In one aspect this invention provides non-splicing variants of the EBV gp350/220 DNA sequence. The DNA sequences of the invention may include an isolated DNA sequence that encodes the expression of homogeneous gp350 protein. The DNA sequence coding for gp350 protein is characterized as comprising the same or substantially the same nucleotide sequence in FIG. 1 wherein the native nucleotides at the donor and acceptor splice sites are replaced with non-native nucleotides, and fragments thereof. This DNA sequence may include 5′ and 3′ non-coding sequences flanking the coding sequence and further include an amino terminal signal sequence. FIG. 1 illustrates the non-coding sequences and indicates the end of the putative signal sequence with an asterisk. It is understood, however, that the DNA sequences of this invention may exclude some or all of these flanking or signal sequences. The non-splicing variant DNA sequences of the invention are produced by introducing mutations into the FIG. 1 DNA sequence in the donor and acceptor splice sites of the gene encoding gp350/220. This eliminates production of gp220 protein so that only the gp350 protein is produced.
- Accordingly, in another aspect the invention comprises homogeneous gp350 proteins, and methods of making the proteins by expression of the non-splicing variant of EBV gp350/220 DNA sequence in an appropriate prokaryotic or eukaryotic host cell under the control of suitable expression control sequence. As the term is used here with respect to gp350 proteins, homogeneous means free or substantially free from gp220 protein. We note that homogeneous gp350 protein, recombinantly produced in mammalian or insect cells, has not to our knowledge ever been reported in the scientific literature heretofore.
- In yet another aspect, homogeneous gp350 proteins, additionally having deletions resulting in a secreted product are provided. Such deletions comprise either removal of the transmembrane region or removal of the transmembrane region and the remaining C-terminus of gp350. Such additionally modified DNA sequences and the proteins encoded thereby are yet another aspect of this invention.
- Also provided is a recombinant DNA molecule comprising vector DNA and a DNA sequence encoding homogeneous gp350 protein. The DNA molecule provides the gp350 sequence in operative association with a suitable regulatory sequence capable of directing the replication and expression of homogeneous gp350 in a selected host cell. Host cells transformed with such DNA molecules for use in expressing recombinant homogeneous gp350 are also provided by this invention.
- The DNA molecules and transformed host cells of the invention are employed in another aspect of the invention, a novel process for producing recombinant homogeneous gp350 protein or fragments thereof. In this process a cell line transformed with a DNA sequence encoding a homogeneous gp350 protein or fragment thereof (or a recombinant DNA molecule as described above) in operative association with a suitable regulatory or expression control sequence capable of controlling expression of the protein is cultured under appropriate conditions permitting expression of the recombinant DNA. The expressed protein is then harvested from the host cell or culture medium by suitable conventional means. The process may employ a number of known cells as host cells; presently preferred are mammalian cells and insect cells.
- The DNA sequences and proteins of the present invention are useful in the production of therapeutic and immunogenic compounds having EBV antigenic determinants. Such compounds find use in subunit vaccines for the prophylactic treatment and prevention of EBV related diseases, such as mononucleosis, Burkitt's lymphoma and nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Accordingly, in yet another aspect the invention comprises such therapeutic and/or immunogenic pharmaceutical compositions for preventing and treating EBV related conditions and diseases in humans such as infectious mononucleosis, Burkett's lymphoma and nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Such therapeutic and/or immunogenic pharmaceutical compositions comprise a immunogenically inducing effective amount of one or more of the homogeneous gp350 proteins of the present invention in admixture with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier such as aluminum hydroxide, saline and phosphate buffered saline as are known in the art. By “immunogenically inducing” we mean an amount sufficient for stimulating in a mammal the production of antibodies to EBV. Alternatively, the active ingredient may be administered in the form of a liposome-containing aggregate. For prophylactic use, such pharmaceutical compositions may be formulated as subunit vaccines for administration in human patients. Patients may be vaccinated with a dose sufficient to stimulate antibody formation in the patient; and revaccinated after six months or one year.
- A further aspect of the invention therefore is a method of treating EBV related diseases and conditions by administering to a patient, particularly to a human patient, an immunogenically inducing therapeutically effective amount of a homogeneous gp350 protein in a suitable pharmaceutical carrier. Still another aspect of the invention is a method of stimulating an immune response against EBV by administering to a patient an immunogenically inducing effective amount of a homogeneous gp350 protein in a suitable pharmaceutical vehicle.
- Other aspects and advantages of the invention are described further in the following detailed description.
- FIG. 1 illustrates the DNA and amino acid sequence of gp350/220 (From Beisel,J. Virology 54:665(1985)). The donor and acceptor splice sites are indicated. The transmembrane region is delineated with the horizontal arrows and an asterisk (*) marks the end of the putative signal sequence. Nucleotide numbering is shown at the left; amino acid numbering at the right.
- FIG. 2 illustrates construction of gp350 deletion and site directed mutants. The plasmid maps labelled pMDTM and pMSTOP exemplify the non-splicing gp350/220 variants of the invention. In section (A), a linear model of the gp350 protein is shown approximately to scale with the encoding clone, BLLF1, below. An N-terminal signal sequence (SS) and the transmembrane domains (TM) are indicated on the protein and important restriction sites are indicated on the gene diagram. The gp350 gene was cloned in two segments, the HindIII/BfaI BLSH1 fragment and the BanI/HindIII BLSH2 fragment. SCYT was created using the polymerase chain reaction from the region of BLLFI indicated. In (B), the cloning scheme for pDTM, pSTOP, pMDTM, and pMSTOP is illustrated (plasmids not to scale). The details of the cloning are described in Examples 1 and 2. Plasmid maps are marked with the relevant restriction sites, the cloning vectors used and the gp350 gene fragments. Splice site mutations in pMDTM and pMSTOP are indicated by asterisks.
- FIG. 3 illustrates the results of immunoprecipitation of homogeneous gp350 protein from pMDTM clones as analyzed by SDS-PAGE. Positive control (GH3Δ19) cells secreting a truncated form of the gp350/220 proteins, negative control (pEE14) cells and several pMDTM clones were metabolically labeled with35S-methionine for 5.5 hours; homogeneous gp350 protein was immunoprecipitated from the resulting tissue culture supernatants. For each cell type, samples of labeled tissue culture supernatants (S) and gp350/220 precipitations (Ip) were electrophoresed on 5% SDS-PAGE (polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis). Location of molecular weight markers are indicated on the left side.
- Disclosed are compositions and methods comprising cloned EBV DNA sequences encoding non-splicing variants of gp350 protein. As noted, such non-splicing variants are referred to herein as homogeneous gp350 proteins. Normally, when the gp350/220 gene is expressed in mammalian cells two gene products are generated, gp350 and gp220, due to RNA splicing of the gene. The invention allows for only one gene product, gp350, to be produced. The invention involves removing some or all of the RNA splice site signals in the gp350 gene and expressing the gene in a suitable host cell. Mutations in the gp350/220 gene were introduced to prevent production of the 220 kD version of the protein when the gp350/220 gene is expressed in mammalian cells. As a result, mRNA transcripts encoding only gp350 are produced. The elimination of gp220 expression by using a gp350/220 gene non-splicing variant will result in increased production of gp350 relative to gp220. Production of gp220 is not essential for production of an effective anti-EBV vaccine because gp350 contains all the potential antigenic sites found on gp220.
- Therefore, one aspect of this invention provides a DNA sequence encoding a polypeptide sequence substantially the same as gp350, except that the donor splice site codon encoding amino acid 501 and the acceptor splice site codon encoding amino acid 698 have been modified by replacement of native nucleotides with non-native nucleotides. Preferably the native nucleotides are replaced with non-native nucleotides such that the amino acid sequence remains the same. Specifically, in the example, native nucleotides AAGT at the donor splice site (nucleotides 1500 through 1504) and native nucleotides A and T flanking the GG acceptor splice site (nucleotides 2091 and 2094) were replaced with nucleotides GTCA and T and A, respectively. Consequently, the Glutamine at amino acid position 500 and the Serine at position 501 remained the same as a result of this substitution in the donor site. Likewise, the Threonine at amino acid position 697 and the Glycine at position 698 remained the same as a result of the modification in the acceptor site.
- Analogously, substitutions other than those specifically exemplified could readily be performed by one skilled in the art as is more fully described below.
- Therefore, in one aspect the invention comprises homogeneous gp350 proteins. The homogeneous gp350 proteins are further characterized by having an amino acid sequence substantially the same as that shown in FIG. 1 from
amino acids 1 through 907, fromamino acids 1 through 862 or fromamino acids 1 through 907 and excepting amino acids 863 through 881, each with or without the N-terminal 18 amino acid signal sequence. In addition, analogs of homogeneous gp350 proteins are provided and include mutants in which there are variations in the amino acids sequence that retain antigenic activity and preferably have a homology of at least 80%, more preferably 90%, and most preferably 95%, with the corresponding region of the homogeneous gp350 proteins. Examples include proteins and polypeptides with minor amino acid variations from the amino acid sequence of FIG. 1; in particular, conservative amino acids replacements. Conservative replacements are those that take place within a family of amino acids that are related in their side chains. Genetically encoded amino acids are generally divided into four families: (1) acidic=aspartate, glutamate; (2) basic=lysine, arginine, histidine; (3) non-polar=alanine, valine, leucine, isoleucine, proline, phenylalanine, methionine, tryptophan; and (4) uncharged polar=glycine, asparagine, glutamine, cysteine, serine, threonine, tyrosine. Phenylalanine, tryptophan and tyrosine are sometimes classified jointly as aromatic amino acids. For example, it is reasonable to expect that an isolated replacement of a leucine or a similar conservative replacement of an amino acid with a structurally related amino acid will not have a major effect on antigenic activity or functionality. - The invention offers the advantage of simpler purification of gp350. Because gp350 and gp220 have similar biochemical properties, gp220 is often co-purified in preparations of gp350. Cells expressing only the non-splicing variant of the gp350/220 gene simplifies protein purification. This will reduce the costs of producing gp350. The invention also makes biochemical characterization of the starting material for gp350 purification easier. Because only one species is present, protein content analysis and amino acid sequence analysis may be performed without accounting for the presence of a second species.
- The invention additionally offers the advantage of increased gp350 production. Prevention of gp350 gene splicing will shift the cell from dual production of gp350 and gp220 to the production of gp350 alone. In some cells, the concentrations of gp220 have been estimated to be 30%-100% of the gp350 concentration. With the gene splicing eliminated. gp350 production will be increased by the lack of gp220 production.

- The bases asterisked above represent bases that appear in 100% of all splice sites (highly conserved). Positions with two bases or one base represent conserved positions (non highlighted positions). The slash indicates the actual site of splicing.
- In the gp350/220 gene the donor splice site occurs after nucleotide 1501 and the acceptor splice occurs after nucleotide 2092, as shown by DNA sequencing (Biggin,EMBO J. 3:1083(1984)) of the gp350/220 gene. (The numbering used herein and in FIG. 1 conforms to the numbering in Biggin). The splice site occurs in the corresponding gene region in the Type B strain of EBV (the donor splice site after A1501 and the acceptor splice site after G2029). The invention encompasses compositions made using either the A or B strain or another EBV strain's splice site to produce a single species of mRNA from the gp350/220 gene. The DNA sequence of the Type A form of the virus from strain B95-8 was used in the Examples although the DNA sequence of the Type B strain could equally have been used, because the translated gene products of Type A and B strains are 98% identical. The B strain lacks amino acids 507 through 520 and 570 through 576. The type A strain was used because it contains all the possible gp350 antigenic sites. Alternatively, EBV gp350/220 having strain-specific sequences could be used in accordance with the teachings herein to produce EBV strain-specific homogeneous gp350 proteins having immunogenic properties specific to a particular strain and therefore useful in immunogenic and/or therapeutic compositions for the prevention or treatment of strain specific EBV related diseases. Table 1 shows the wild type nucleotide and amino acid sequences of the donor and acceptor splice sites.
- To prevent RNA splicing of the gp350/220 gene, mutations were introduced into the gp350/220 gene nucleic acid sequence to replace the relevant base pairs of the RNA splice site. To render a splice-site nonfunctional, preferably at least one of the bases out of the two highly conserved bases framing the donor site or acceptor site should be replaced with nonconserved bases, more preferably at least two highly conserved bases should be mutated to nonconserved bases. Other conserved bases, more than two bases away from the splice site, can also be replaced with nonconserved splice site bases to further decrease recognition of the splice site. Both the donor and the acceptor site can be changed to impair splicing mechanisms. Preferably, both the donor and the acceptor contain at least one change each, in one of the four highly conserved splice site base positions, and more preferably at least two changes in two of the four highly conserved splice site base positions. If one splice site is not mutable due to a desire to maintain the wild-type amino acid sequence then it is preferable to introduce at least two mutations to the other splice site.
- Mutation at the gp350/220 splice sites may introduce changes into the amino acid sequence of the subsequently expressed gp350 protein. Preferably such changes should be conservative amino acid substitutions. Conservative substitutions in the amino acid sequence, as opposed to nonconservative changes in the amino acid sequence, will help preserve antigenic sites. Conservative amino acid changes can be made as long as the base change (or base changes) result in a suitable change in the invariant donor/acceptor bases. For example, Gly could be substituted for Ser501, at the donor splice site, using any Gly-specific codons other than GGU (use of GGU would preserve the G nucleotide and would not result in the desired GT replacement in the splice signal). Likewise, at the acceptor splice site, Gly698 to Ala would be a conservative change, but since all Ala codons start with the highly conserved G nucleotide, this would not result in the desired replacement. Although Proline also might be a conservative amino acid change, proline would not be used to replace a wild type amino acid because it would result in modification of the tertiary structure of the protein and thereby mask one or more gp350 antigenic sites. Table 1 shows the acceptable conservative amino acid replacements in the wild-type sequences. At the bottom of Table 1 is an example of a mutation with conservative amino acid changes.

In order to produce soluble homogeneous gp350 proteins (“soluble proteins” are either free in solution or membrane associated but are not membrane integrated), for example, to avoid cell toxicity problems incurred by the expression of full length gp350 as an integral membrane protein, the membrane spanning region (also known as the transmembrane region) of gp350 is modified by deletion of all or part of its encoding DNA sequence. The membrane spanning region of gp350/220 comprises amino acids 861 (methionine) through 881 (alanine). See, Beisel,J. Virology 54:665(1985). Preferably, at least 8 amino acids of the transmembrane region are deleted, more preferably at least 12 amino acids are deleted and most preferably between 18 and 21 amino acids are deleted. Accordingly, in another aspect, the invention provides non-splicing variants of gp350/220 DNA and/or gp350 homogeneous protein additionally comprising at least one deletion in the transmembrane region of the gp350/220 DNA and/or gp350 homogeneous protein that results in the expression of soluble homogeneous gp350 protein.
- In addition to deleting all or part of the transmembrane domain of the non-splicing gp350/220 variant, the C-terminal sequence following the transmembrane domain and comprising amino acids 881 through 907 may also be deleted in whole, or in part, as described herein, in accordance with the invention. Thus, in another aspect the invention comprises non-splicing variants of gp350/220 DNA and/or homogeneous protein further modified by deletion of all or a portion of the DNA encoding and/or amino acid sequence comprising the transmembrane region of gp350/220 and even further modified by deletion of the remaining C-terminal DNA and/or amino acid sequences of gp350/220.
- Accordingly, in another aspect the invention comprises non-splicing variant DNA sequences encoding the homogeneous gp350 proteins of the invention. Such DNA sequences comprise the DNA sequence of FIG. 1
encoding amino acids 1 through 907 and further comprising the nucleotide substitutions taught herein to remove the donor and acceptor splice sites. Such DNA sequences optionally comprise truncated DNA sequences in which the nucleotides encoding all or part of the transmembrane domain and C-terminus comprising amino acids 861 through 907 are deleted and deletion variants in which the nucleotides encoding all or part of the transmembrane domain comprising amino acids 861 through 881 are deleted. The DNA sequences of the present invention encoding homogeneous gp350 proteins may also comprise DNA capable of hybridizing under appropriate stringency conditions, or which would be capable of hybridizing under such conditions but for the degeneracy of the genetic code, to an isolated DNA sequence of FIG. 1. Accordingly, the DNA sequences of this invention may contain modifications in the non-coding sequences, signal sequences or coding sequences, based on allelic variation, species variation or deliberate modification. - These non-splicing variant gp350/220 DNA sequences as disclosed herein can be constructed using methods well known in the art. The modified DNA sequences of this invention can be expressed recombinantly, Likewise using known methods, to produce the homogeneous gp350 proteins of this invention. Such recombinant proteins can be purified and incorporated into pharmaceutical compositions for the prophylactic treatment and prevention of EBV related diseases.
- The non-splicing variants of gp350/220 DNA of this invention can be expressed recombinantly in different types of cells using the appropriate expression control systems as is known in the art. Suitable cells known and available in the art include, but are not Limited to, yeast cells such asSaccharomyces cerevisiae, bacterial cells such as E. coli and Bacillus subtilis and mammalian cells such as GH3, CHO, NSO, MDCK and C-127 cells. Vectors used with cell types are selected based on their compatibility with the cell type and expression control system used. Cells and vectors that allow for the expression of secreted products of the gp350/220 gene are preferred. Typically for example, E. coli is transformed using derivatives of pBR322 which have been modified using conventional techniques to contain the DNA sequences for expression of the desired protein, in this instance the non-splicing variant sequences of EBV gp350, with or without the sequences encoding the C-terminus and/or membrane spanning region. pBR322 contains genes for ampicillin and tetracycline resistance, which can be used as markers. See, Bolivar, Gene 2:95(1977). Commonly used expression control sequences, i.e., promoters for transcription initiation and optionally an operator or enhancer, include the beta-lactamase and lac promoter systems (see Chang, Nature 198:1056(1977)), the tryptophan promoter system (see Goeddel, Nucleic Acids Res. 8:4057(1980)) and the lambda-derived PL promoter and N-gene ribosome binding site (see Shimatake, Nature 292:128(1981). However, any available promoter system or expression control system that is compatible with prokaryotic host cells can be used. Other exemplary host cells, plasmid and expression vehicles are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,356,270 issued to Itakura (1982), U.S. Pat. No. 4,431,739 issued to Riggs (1984) and U.S. Pat. No. 4,440,859 issued to Rutter (1984).
- Insect cells may also be used as host cells employing insect cell expression. In the case of expression in insect cells, generally the components of the expression system include a transfer vector, usually a bacterial plasmid, which contains both a fragment of the baculovirus genome, and a convenient restriction site for insertion of the heterologous gene or genes to be expressed; a wild type baculovirus with a sequence homologous to the baculovirus-specific fragment in the transfer vector (this allows for the homologous recombination of the heterologous gene in to the baculovirus genome); and appropriate insect host cells and growth media.
- Currently, the most commonly used transfer vector for introducing foreign genes into AcNPV is pAc373. Many other vectors, known to those of skill in the art, have also been designed. These include, for example, pVL985 (which alters the polyhedrin start codon from ATG to ATF, and which introduces a BamHI cloning site 32 basepairs downstream from the ATT; see Luckow and Summers,Virology (1989) 17:31.
- The plasmid usually also contains the polyhedrin polyadenylation signal (Miller et al. (1988)Ann. Rev. Microbiol., 42:177) and a procaryotic ampicillin-resistance (amp) gene and origin of replication for selection and propagation in E. coli.
- Baculovirus transfer vectors usually contain a baculovirus promoter. A baculovirus promoter is any DNA sequence capable of binding a baculovirus RNA polymerase and initiating the downstream (5′ to 3′) transcription of a coding sequence (e.g. structural gene) into mRNA. A promoter will have a transcription initiation region which is usually placed proximal to the 5′ end of the coding sequence. This transcription initiation region typically includes an RNA polymerase binding site and a transcription initiation site. A baculovirus transfer vector can also have a second domain called an enhancer, which, if present, is usually distal to the structural gene. Expression can be either regulated or constitutive. For insect cell expression technology, see EP patent publication 155 476.
- Yeast, for exampleSaccharomyces cervisiae, may also be used as a host cell. Various strains are available and may be used. Likewise, plasmid vectors suitable for yeast expression are known, as are promoter and expression control systems. See for example, Myanohara, Proc. natl. Acad. Sci. 80:1(1983)(PHO5 promoter), EP Patent Publication 012 873 (leader sequences), Kurtz, Mol. Cell. Biol. 6:142(1986), Ito, J. Bacteriol. 153:163(1983) and Hinnen, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 75:1929(1979)(transformation procedures and suitable vectors).
- Eukaryotic cells from multicellular organisms may of course also be used as hosts cells for the expression of genes encoding proteins and polypeptides of interest. Useful host cell Lines include VERO and HeLa cells, and Chinese hamster ovary cells (CHO). Expression vectors compatible with such cells are also available and typically include promoters and expression control sequences, such as for example, the early and late promoters from SV40 (see Fiers,Nature 273:113(1978)) and promoters from polyoma virus,
adenovirus 2, bovine papilloma virus or avian sarcoma virus. Exemplary host cells, promoters, selectable markers and techniques are also disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,122,469 issued to Mather (1992), U.S. Pat. No. 4,399,216 issued to Axel (1983), U.S. Pat. No. 4,634,665 issued to Axel (1987), U.S. Pat. No. 4,713,339 issued to Levinson (1987), U.S. Pat. No. 4,656,134 issued to Ringold (1987), U.S. Pat. No. 4,822,736 issued to Kellems (1989) and U.S. Pat. No. 4,874,702 issued to Fiers (1989). - Transformation of suitable host cells is accomplished using standard techniques appropriate to such cells, such as CaCl2 treatment for prokaryotes as disclosed in Cohen Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 69:2110(1972) and CaPO4 precipitation for mammalian cells as disclosed in Graham, Virology 52:546(1978). Yeast transformation can be carried out as described in Hsiao, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 76:3829(1979) or as described in Klebe, Gene 25:333(1983).
- The construction of suitable vectors containing the non-splicing variant gp350 sequence (with or without the additional modifications disclosed here resulting in deletion of the C-terminus and/or the membrane spanning region) is accomplished using conventional ligation and restriction techniques now well known in the art. Site specific DNA cleavage is performed by treating with suitable restriction enzyme(s) under standard conditions, the particulars of which are typically specified by the restriction enzyme manufacturer. Polyacrylamide gel or agarose gel electrophoresis may be performed to size separate the cleaved fragments using standard techniques and the fragments blunt ended by treatment with the Klenow fragment ofE. coli polymerase I in the presence of the four deoxynucleotide triphosphates. Treatment with S1 nuclease hydrolyzes any single-stranded portions. Synthetic oligonucleotides can be made using for example, the diethylphosphoamidite method known in the art. See U.S. Pat. No. 4,415,732 (1983). Ligations can be performed using T4 DNA ligase under standard conditions and temperatures and correct Ligations confirmed by transforming E. coli or COS cells with the ligation mixture. Successful transformants are selected by ampicillin, tetracycline or other antibiotic resistance or using other markers as are known in the art.
- Such recombinant DNA techniques are fully explained in the literature. See, e.g., Sambrook, MOLECULAR CLONING: A LABORATORY MANUAL, 2D ED. (1989); DNA CLONING, Vol. I and II (D N Glover ed 1985); OLIGONUCLEOTIDE SYNTHESIS (M J Gait ed 1984); NUCLEIC ACID HYBRIDIZATION (B D Hames ed 1984); TRANSCRIPTION AND TRANSLATION (B D Hames ed 1984); ANIMAL CELL CULTURE (R I Freshney ed 1986); B.

All such publications mentioned herein are incorporated by reference for the substance of what they disclose.
- Accordingly in another aspect the invention comprises vectors containing the non-splicing variants of gp350/220 DNA sequences and host cells and further comprises a method of making a non-splicing variant of gp350/220 protein by culturing said host cells containing a sector that is carrying a non-splicing variant of a gp350/220 DNA sequence operatively linked to an expression control sequence under culture conditions enabling expression of the homogeneous gp350 protein.
- The expressed homogeneous gp350 is purified from cell and culture medium constituents using conventional glycoprotein purification techniques such as, but not limited to, ultrafiltration, free flow electrophoresis, gel filtration chromatography, affinity chromatography, SDS-PAGE, differential NH4SO4 precipitation, lectin columns, ion exchange columns and hydrophobicity columns as is known in the art. Small scale analytical preparations of gp350 are most readily purified using SDS-PAGE or lectin affinity columns and such small scale preparations for use in vaccination or immune response experiments are most readily purified using liquid chromatography. For large scale production of commercially significant quantities of gp350 for use in vaccine compositions, a combination of ultrafiltration, gel filtration, ion exchange, and hydrophobic interaction chromatography are preferred.
- The purified, homogeneous gp350 proteins of the present invention may be employed in therapeutic and/or immunogenic compositions for preventing and treating EBV related conditions and diseases such as infectious mononucleosis, Burkitt's lymphoma and nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Such pharmaceutical compositions comprise an immunogenically-inducing effective amount of one or more of the homogeneous gp350 proteins of the present invention in admixture with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, for example an adjuvant/antigen presentation system such as alum. Other adjuvant/antigen presentation systems, for instance, MF59 (Chiron Corp.), QS-21 (Cambridge Biotech Corp.), 3-DMPL (3-Deacyl-Monophosphoryl Lipid A) (RibiImmunoChem Research, Inc.), clinical grade incomplete Freund's adjuvant (IFA), fusogenic liposomes, water soluble polymers or Iscoms (Immune stimulating complexes) may also be used. Other exemplary pharmaceutically acceptable carriers or solutions are aluminum hydroxide, saline and phosphate buffered saline. The composition can be systemically administered, preferably subcutaneously or intramuscularly, in the form of an acceptable subcutaneous or intramuscular solution. Also inoculation can be effected by surface scarification or by inoculation of a body cavity. The preparation of such solutions, having due regard to pH, isotonicity, stability and the like is within the skill in the art. The dosage regimen will be determined by the attending physician considering various factors known to modify the action of drugs such as for example, physical condition, body weight, sex, diet, severity of the condition, time of administration and other clinical factors. Exemplary dosage ranges comprise between about 1 μg to about 1000 μg of protein.
- In practicing the method of treatment of this invention, an immunologically-inducing effective amount of homogeneous gp350 protein is administered to a human patient in need of therapeutic or prophylactic treatment. An immunologically inducing effective amount of a composition of this invention is contemplated to be in the range of about 1 microgram to about 1 milligram per dose administered. The number of doses administered may vary, depending on the above mentioned factors. The invention is further described in the following examples, which are intended to illustrate the invention without limiting its scope.
- The gp350/220 gene from the EBV B95-8 strain (Miller, et al., 1972), is available in a BamHI library as an open reading frame called BLLF1 (Baer,Nature 310:207, 1984). To create the desired constructs (shown diagrammatically in FIG. 2B), the gp350/220 gene was cloned in two parts: 1) BLSH1, a 2.3 kb HindIII/
BfaI 3′ fragment and 2) BLSH2, a 337 b.p. BanI/HindIII 5′ fragment (FIG. 2A). These fragments were cloned into staging vectors so that the deletions of the C-terminal cytoplasmic and/or transmembrane-encoding domains could be performed. Because the BfaI site occurs at the 5′ end of the region encoding the gp350 transmembrane (TM) domain, it was used to construct the TM domain deletions and TM domain deletions with adjacent C-terminus deletions. Using BfaI, it was possible to create deletions retaining only two amino acids of the TM region (Table 2). - 1. Construction of PDTM from pSTG1, and pSTG3
- The plasmid pDTM is comprised of a gp350/220 nucleic acid sequence that lacks a complete TM coding region. This construct was made using two staging vectors pSTG1 and pSTG3. A 450 bp PCR product, SYCT, that introduced a BfaI site at the 3′ end of the TM region was made using a BLLF1 clone target sequence (FIG. 2). The PCR primers used are as follows:
BfaI Primer 1: GG ATC CTA GAG TGC GCC TTT AGG CGT A BLLF1: ... GAG TGC GCC TTT AGG CGT A.. A.A.: ... Asp Cys Ala Phe Arg Arg ... ↑_End of TM Region Primer 2: GGA TCC TCT GTT CCT TCT GCT CCA GTG BLLF1: ... ... TCT GTT CCT TCT GCT GCA GTG - The BfaI site of
Primer 1 was used to clone a BfaI/XmaI fragment of SCYT into pSTG1. The remainder ofPrimer 1 corresponds to the amino acid sequence encoded by clone BLLF1.Primer 2 corresponds to a region outside the gp350/220 open reading frame on the 3′ side of the gene. The SCYT PCR fragment was cut with BfaI and XmaI to produce a 136 base pair fragment which was cloned into a pMT11 vector (Spaete and Mocarski, 1985) along with a second fragment, a BLSH1 HindIII/BfaI fragment, to create pSTG1. Sequencing across the BfaI site indicated that all of the TM amino acid coding region was deleted except for amino acids Met and Leu (see Table 2). A third BLLF1 fragment, BLSH2, was cloned into pMT11 to create pSTG3. A 16 base pair BanI/XbaI oligonucleotide linker outside of the gp350/220 gene coding sequence was used to clone the BLSH2 BanI/HindIII fragment into the pSTG3. A 2.4 HindIII/XmaI pSTG1 fragment, was cloned into a pEE14 vector (Celltech, England) together with a 0.3 XbaI/HindIII pSTG3 fragment to complete the pDTM construct. - 2. Construction of pSTOP using vectors pSTG2 and pSTG3
- The plasmid pSTOP comprises a gp350/220 gene that lacks a TM region and the C-terminal cytoplasmic region adjacent the TM region. To create this construct, a 16 base pair BfaI/EcoRI oligonucleotide linker was created with stop codons (underlined) in three frames following the BfaI sticky end as shown below:
TAT AGA CTA GTC TAG G A TCT GAT GAG ATC CTT AA - The 5′ overhang (TA) of the upper sequence is a sticky end for a BfaI restriction site and the 5′ overhang (TTAA) of the lower sequence is an EcoRI sticky end. This 16 base pair linker was used to clone a BLSH1 HindIII/BfaI fragment into pMT11, in order to create pSTG2. A 2.3 kb pSTG2 HindIII/EcoRI fragment and the pSTG3 0.3 kb XbaI/HindIII fragment were cloned into pEE14 to create pSTOP.
- 3. Comparison of the Wild-type, pDTM and pSTOP Sequences at the TM Region
- The oligonucleotide sequence and translated amino acid sequence of the wild type, pSTOP, and
pDTM 3′ ends of gp350 DNA and amino acid sequences are shown in Table 2 below. Arrows indicate the beginning and end of the wild-type transmembrane domain (TM). Only two amino acids from the transmembrane domain are retained in pDTM and pSTOP, Met861 and Leu862 (see also FIG. 1). Note that a stop codon immediately follows Leu862 in pSTOP. In pDTM the former location of the deleted transmembrane region is marked “ΔTM”.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ{circumflex over ( )} ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZΔTM - In order to obtain homogeneous production of a gp350 protein the highly conserved and conserved bases of the gp350/220 gene splice site were changed. Four bases were changed in the donor splice site, including the highly conserved GT pair that occurs in 100% of all splice sites. Two conserved donor site bases, AA, were replaced with GT. The two highly conserved (invariant) donor splice site bases were changed from GT to CA. At the acceptor splice site, only one of the highly conserved acceptor splice site bases was altered to preserve the amino acid sequence. A second conserved acceptor splice site base was changed as indicated in Table 3. Table 3 summarizes the bases changed in the donor and acceptor splice sites of the gp350/220 gene.

The actual site of splicing is indicated by an arrow, and the encoded amino acids are shown. Note that the amino acid sequence does not change as a result of the nucleotide substitutions.
- These nucleotide substitutions to the wild type gp350/220 donor splice site and accepter splice site DNA sequences were accomplished using oligonucleotide-mediated mutagenesis. A modified phage vector, M13TAC, was employed to produce mutations as described in Zoller, M. E. and Smith, M. (1983)Methods of Enzymol. 100:468. BamHI/XhoI fragments of the gp350/220 nucleotide sequence were cloned into the polylinker of plasmid M13TAC using Asp718 and BamHI restriction sites on the polylinker, combined with a 19 bp oligonucleotide Linker containing Asp718 and XhoI sticky ends. The plasmids M13DTM and M13STOP of Example 1 (FIG. 2B), were used for the mutagenesis.
- Two 42-mer oligonucleotides, PrDonor1 and PrAcceptor1, were made for use in the mutagenesis. Each was designed to be complementary to gp350/220 gene sequences centering on either the donor or acceptor splice sites. The only region of the oligonucleotides that were not complementary to the gp350/220 gene were the bases representing the desired mutations: Mutagenesis oligonucleotides comprised the following:
PrDonor1 Primer: GGT CAT GTC GGG GGC CTT TG ¦A CTC TGT GCC GTT GTC CCA TGG ** ¦* * EBV: GGT CAT GTC GGG GGC CTT AC ¦T TTC TGT GCC GTT GTC CCA TGG PrAcceptor 1 Primer: CTG TGT TAT ATT TTC ACC TC ¦C AGT TGG GTG AGC GGA GGT TAG * ¦ * EBV: CTG TGT TAT ATT TTC ACC AC ¦C TGT TGG GTG AGC GGA GGT TAG - The sequence of the mutagenesis oligonucleotides are labelled “Primer,” while the DNA sequence spanning the gp350/220 gene splice sites are labelled “EBV.” Bases that were changed as a result of the mutagenesis are marked with an asterisk. The dashed line indicated the location of the splice.
- The oligonucleotides PrDonor1 and PrAcceptor1 were hybridized to single-stranded clones of M13-DTM and M13-STOP. T4 DNA polymerase holoenzyme was used to produce double-stranded M13 DNA andE. coli was transformed with the double-stranded DNA. Using the vector M13TAC, any clone that contained the desired mutation could be identified by a color change from white to blue in the presence of X-gal and isothiopropylgalactate. Blue plaques were picked and grown up, and DNA sequencing across splice junctions was used for the final identification of mutant clones, labelled M13-MDTM and M13-MSTOP.
- After identifying clones containing the desired mutations, BamI/XhoI fragments were cut out of M13-MDTM and M13-MSTOP and Ligated back into pDTM or pSTOP backbones to create the constructs pMDTM and pMSTOP, respectively. These constructs were transfected into CHO cells to express the non-splicing variant gp350/220 DNA sequences as described in Example 3.
- 1. Transfection of gp350/220 Gene Constructs
- One method for producing high levels of homogeneous gp350 protein of the invention from mammalian cells involves the construction of cells containing multiple copies of the heterologous gp350 DNA sequence. The heterologous DNA sequence is operatively linked to an amplifiable marker, in this example, the glutamine synthetase gene for which cells can be amplified using methionine sulphoximine.
- The pMDTM and pMSTOP vectors made in Example 2 were transfected into CHO cells as discussed below, according to the procedures of Crockett,Bio/Technology 8:662(1990) and as described in the Celltech Instruction Manual for the glutamine synthetase gene amplification system (1992).
- CHO-K1 cells (ATCC CCR61) were maintained in glutamine-free EMEM (Eagles Minimal Essential Medium) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum, 100 units/ml penicillin, 100 mg/ml streptomycin, MEM (Modified Eagle's Medium) nonessential amino acids, and 1 mM sodium pyruvate (all obtained from JRH Biosciences). The media was also supplemented with 60 mg/ml glutamic acid, 60 mg/ml asparagine, 7 mg/ml adenosine, 7 mg/ml guanosine, 7 mg/ml cytidine, 7 mg/ml uridine, and 2.4 mg/ml thymidine (all from Sigma.) This media preparation was used throughout the transfection, with deviations from this recipe as noted.
- One day prior to transfection 10-cm dishes were seeded with 3×106 CHO-K1 cells. On the day of transfection the cells were washed with 10 ml serum-free media per dish. Plasmid DNA (from the pMDTM, pMSTOP plasmids) was applied by CaPO4 precipitation using conventional techniques. 10 μgs of each plasmid DNA precipitate was incubated with the CHO-K1 cells plus 2 ml of serum-free media at 37° C. for 4.5 hours. Three replicates of each of the four plasmid DNA transfections were made. The cells were then shocked for 1.5 minutes with 15% glycerol in HEPES-buffered saline. After rinsing with serum-free media, the cells were re-fed with serum-containing media and incubated for 24 hours.
- The following day the media was changed to include 10% dialyzed fetal bovine serum (JRH Biosciences) and amplified by the addition of 25 μM methionine sulphoximine (Sigma). Cells were re-fed with methionine sulphoximine-containing media every 3-5 days until the amplified clones were large enough for picking, approximately 13-14 days later. Clones were picked by scraping colonies off the dish with a sterile 200 μl pipetman tip and transferred to one well of a 96-well plate in media without methionine sulphoximine. 1-2 days later the media was replaced with media +25 μM methionine sulphoximine. After 4 days the culture supernatants were harvested and assayed for protein products in an ELISA assay, as discussed below.
- CHO cells were also transfected with the pEE14 control vector alone (which contains no EBV sequences) and 24 clones of CHO-pEE14 were also picked and transferred to plates to serve as controls. (The control clones were identified on the basis of survival in methionine sulphoximine.)
- 2. ELISA Assay
- Following transfection, 241 clones of CHO-pMDTM and 158 clones of CHO-pMSTOP were picked and grown up. Supernatants from these clones were tested for gp350 protein production. 96-well plates were coated with affinity-purified rabbit anti-gp350/220 antibody (antibody MDP1; gift of Andrew Morgan) diluted 1:2000 in 50 mM sodium borate buffer,
pH 9. The plates were incubated at 37° C. for 3-4 hours and washed 3 times with PBS+0.05% Tween 20 using a Nunc ImmunoWasher. After blotting dry, the plates were blocked by incubating with 2% BSA in PBS +0.01% Thimerosal at 37° C. for 0.5 hours and washed again. Supernatants from the transfected cells and control cells were added to the wells and incubated for 2 hours at 37° C. The plates were then incubated with the primary detection antibody, a mouse monoclonal antibody against gp350/220 (antibody #C65221M; Biodesign International) at 1 mg/ml diluted in PBS wash buffer, 37° C. for 1 hour. After washing, the plates were incubated with the secondary antibody, horseradish peroxidase-conjugated goat F(ab)2 fragments directed against mouse immunoglobulins (Human Ig adsorbed; Biosource International.), 0.7 μg/ml in PBS+0.05% BSA and 0.01% Thimerosal, at 37° C. for 1 hour. The plates were washed and developed using ABTS (Pierce Chemicals) dissolved in Stable Peroxide Substrate Buffer (Pierce Chemicals) for 0.5 hours at room temperature. The reaction was stopped with 1% SDS and the plates were read at 405 and 650 nm wavelengths using a Molecular Devices Vmax EUSA plate reader. 24 pMDTM and 18 pMSTOP clones tested positive for secreted gp350. The clones exhibiting the highest ELISA signal were transferred to 24-well plates for scale-up and further testing in a Western Blot and a radioimmunoprecipitation assay. - 3. Western Blot and Radio Immunoprecipitation Assay
- In an initial screening, tissue culture supernatants from the pMDTM transfections were assayed for activity in a Western Blot. CHO cell supernatants were purified on 5% SDS-PAGE gels, transferred to nitrocellulose overnight, and probed with anti-gp350 antibodies. Seven pMDTM clones were found to be positive for gp350 in the Western blot analysis.
- The pMDTM clones that were positive in the Western blot were further tested by radioimmunoprecipitation for the presence of gp220. Selected transformed pMDTM cells, pEE14 control and GH3Δ19 control cells (described below) were grown overnight in six-well plates so that they were approximately three-quarters confluent on the day of the experiment. Each well contained approximately 5×106 cells. For labelling, the media was removed from each well and replaced with 0.7 ml of methionine-free MEM (10% fetal calf serum)+100 μCi 35S-methionine. The cells were incubated 5.5 hours at 37° C. and then microcentrifuged at 4000 rpm for 5 minutes. Homogeneous gp350 protein in the supernatant was immunoprecipitated by addition of 10 μl of Sepharose-Protein A (Sigma) in a 50% slurry and 20 μl monoclonal anti-gp350/220 (antibody #C65221M, 100 mg/ml; Biodesign International), with overnight rocking at 4° C. The mixture was then pelleted at 2000 rpm, 2 minutes at room temperature in a microcentrifuge and washed four times with several volumes of phosphate-buffered saline. After the final wash, all liquid was removed from the pellet and replaced with 50 μl protein gel sample buffer. The samples containing the precipitated immuno-complex were boiled 5 minutes and run on a 5% SDS-PAGE. Immunoprecipitates were compared to gel samples of tissue culture supernatants mixed 1:1 with protein sample buffer. The gel was dried and autoradiographed with Hyperfilm β-Max (Amersham).
- FIG. 3 shows the autoradiographic results of SDS-PAGE analysis of the radioimmunoprecipitation. The cell line used as a positive control was GH3Δ19 (gift of Elliot Keiff; Whang et al., 1987). GH3Δ19 cells secrete a truncated form of the gp350/220 protein lacking the transmembrane and C-terminal cytoplasmic domains. For use as a negative control, CHO cells were transfected with the pEE14 vector alone and selected by methionine sulphoximine in parallel with the pMDTM transfection. In FIG. 3, supernatants (“S”) are shown in odd numbered lanes, alternated with immunoprecipitates (“Ip”) shown in even numbered lanes. In
control lane 2, precipitation from the GH3Δ19 control cells results in two strong protein bands at approximately 220 and 350 kD demonstrating production of the truncated splice variant gp350 and gp220 proteins in about a 1:1 ratio. As expected, these immunoprecipitated bands are concentrated with respect to the radiolabelled tissue culture supernatant (non-immunoprecipitated sample) inlane 1. Also, as expected, no bands are shown in the negative control (lane 4), since the pEE14 vector does not contain any of the gp350/220 constructs. - SDS-PAGE analysis of the immunoprecipitation from supernatants of pMDTM clones in

lanes - This homogeneous gp350 protein, expressed in CHO cell lines, or in other mammalian or non-mammalian cell lines, can be further scaled up and homogenous gp350 protein can be isolated and purified from conditioned medium from the cell line using methods familiar in the art, including techniques such as lectin-affinity chromatography, reverse phase HPLC, FPLC, gel filtration and the like. See David,J. Immunol. Methods 108:231(1988) and Madej, Vaccine 10:777(1992).
- The purified homogeneous gp350 proteins are incorporated into appropriate vehicles for administration and administered to mice as follows.
- A 2× adjuvant-vehicle concentrate is prepared by mixing Pluronic L121 and squalane in 0.4% (v/v) Tween 80 in phosphate buffered saline with (Thr1) MDP in accordance with the procedure of David, J. Immunol. Methods 108:231(1988) and Allison, J. Immunol. Methods 95:157(1986).
- The composition for administration is prepared by addition of equal volumes of protein and adjuvant-vehicle on the day of administration. The protein content should be with range of 5 micrograms to 50 micrograms per dose.
- BALB/c mice are immunized with three 0.1 ml intramuscular injections at 0, 21 and 42 days. A pre-immunization bleed and successive bleeds taken 10 days after each injection are obtained from the retro-orbital sinus.
- Serum antibody levels are determined by an ELISA according to the procedures described in Example 3. EBV neutralizing antibodies in the sera are quantified by their ability to inhibit transformation of fetal cord blood lymphocytes by EBV in vitro according to the methods of Moss,J Gen. Virol. 17:233(1972) and De Schryver, Int. J. Cancer 13:353(1974).
- Alternatively, New Zealand white rabbits are inoculated by intramuscular administration of five doses of protein emulsified in the foregoing adjuvant at 0, 21, 42, 63 and 84 days. The dose should be in the range of about 5 μg to 50 μg per inoculation. Sera is obtained two weeks following the last dose and tested for antibody titers to the antigen, for cross-reactive antibody to viral gp350/220 from B95-8 cells and for in vitro EBV-neutralizing activity following the methods of Emini,Virology 166:387(1988).
- Because the ability of the EBV gp350/220 protein to induce protective immunity in an animal model of EBV infection has already been established, see Epstein,Clin. Exp. Immunol 63:485(1986), similar positive results from administration of a homogeneous ep350 protein composition are expected.
