Definitions

  • Proteins or synthetic peptides comprising epitopes of different viruses represent potential immunogens for use in 10 vaccines against the infectious diseases caused by the respective viruses.
  • polypeptides frequently require a combination of carriers and adjuvants to become sufficiently immunogenic for consideration as vaccines.
  • Immunogenicity of the hybrid particles was found to be superior to that of an equivalent monomeric CS antigen (Rutgers et aJL., Biotechnology, 1988, .6, 1065) .
  • Vaccines prepared from hybrid immunogenic particles comprising HBsAg protein are also described in European Patent Application Publication No. 0 278 940. In all cases the hybrid particles were obtained by gene fusion rather than chemical coupling techniques.
  • HBsAg protein or a suitable fragment thereof having at least one free sulphydryl group on its surface with another antigen.
  • the present invention provides an immunogenic hybrid polypeptide comprising a first polypeptide component which is HBsAg or fragment thereof displaying the antigenicity of HBV surface antigen, covalently linked via a native sulphur atom in the first polypeptide component to a second polypeptide component.
  • An advantage of the invention is that an antigen may be coupled to the HBsAg particle with cross-linking agents without impairing the immunogenicity of the HBsAg or fragment thereof as defined hereinabove. Furthermore it is possible by the present invention to conjugate the second polypeptide antigen with a vector (the HBsAg particle) which is able to direct its processing via a non-endosomial route. In this way the second antigen can become associated with MHC I antigens and be recognised as such by cytotoxic lymphocytes. Finally chemical coupling allows a higher degree of freedom with regard to antigen (epitope) density on the HBsAg particle and also the possibility of using non-immunogenic spacers whereby the distance from the attachment point to the particle can be varied at will.
  • hybrid polypeptide of the invention may be represented by formula (I) :
  • P2 is selected from gD2 from HSV or is a peptide capable of binding to HIV neutralising antibodies and corresponds to the neutralising domain of the V loop from gpl20; and
  • V3 loop peptides utilised in the present invention are preferably between 10 to 21 amino acids in length and comprises a ⁇ turn flanked by at least one and preferably at least two amino acid on both sides of the ⁇ turn sequences.
  • the sequence corresponds to the sequence 310 to 328 of the gpl ⁇ O protein.
  • the C-terminal tyrosine is optional, as its primary function is to allow labelling with radioactive Iodine.
  • hybrid particles according to the present invention are their ability to induce cellular immunity mediated by T lymphocytes and in particular the ability to induce cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) responses.
  • CTL cytotoxic T lymphocytes
  • P 1 not normally be bonded to P 1 solely through one sulphur atom.
  • P is preferably in particulate form as described below.
  • the HBsAg or fragment thereof used as the first polypeptide component has at least one free thiol on its surface (e.g. may be represented as P ⁇ -SH) and to this end it is important that the HBsAg or fragment thereof is obtained in the correct manner.
  • Hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBsAg) either in native or recombinant form.
  • the authentic Hepatitis B virus surface antigen can be recovered from plasma of infected individuals as a particle of about 22nm comprised of two proteins known as P24 and its glycosylated derivative GP28, both of which are encoded by the 226 amino acid coding sequence on the HBV genome known as the S-protein coding sequence or HBV S-gene; see Tiollais et al, Nature, 317 (1985), page 489 and references therein.

  • HBsAg suitable for use in the present invention since recombinant HBsAg produced in mammalian cells or yeast by the method of Valenzuala and others does not have available free SH groups; it is believed that the cysteine residues of HBsAg are all involved in the formation of disulphide bonds (Wa pler et. al. (Proc.Natl. Acid. Sci. U.S.A. 1985, .82..- 6830-6834 and references therein) .
  • EP-A-0 135435 (assigned to Merck and Co.) describes a method for efficiently converting the non-disulphide bonded HBsAg antigen into a fully intermolecular disulphide bonded particle, alleged to be ten times more immunogenic than the antigen which has not been so treated.
