Definitions
- the present invention relates to novel forms and multimeric configurations intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM), including both full-length and truncat forms of these proteins, that effectively bind to human rhinovirus and can effectiv reduce HRV infectivity, and to methods of making and using same.
- ICAM intercellular adhesion molecule
- Full-length ICAM also known as human rhinovirus receptor (HRR)
- HRR human rhinovirus receptor
- tmICAM-1 transmembrane ICAM
- tICAM non-transmembrane ICAM forms, also kno as truncated ICAM (tICAM)
- HRV hum rhinovirus
- th multimerized proteins may also be used to reduce infectivity of other viruses that known to bind to the 'major' group human rhinovirus receptor (HRR), such Coxsackie A virus, and may also be used to block transmembrane intercellu adhesion molecule (tmlCAM) interaction with lymphocyte function-associated antig 1 (LFA-1), which is critical to many cell adhesion processes involved in t immunological response.
- HRR human rhinovirus receptor
- tmlCAM transmembrane intercellu adhesion molecule
- LFA-1 lymphocyte function-associated antig 1
- these multimerized proteins may be used to stu the ICAM-1/HRV interaction especially with respect to designing other drugs direct at affecting this interaction.
- Human rhinoviruses are the major causative agent of the common cold. Th belong to the picornavirus family and can be classified based on the host cell recep to which they bind.
- Tomassini, et al., J. Virol., 58: 290 (1986) reported the isolati of a receptor protein involved in the cell attachment of human rhinovir Approximately 90% of the more than 115 serotypes of rhinoviruses, as well several types of Coxsackie A virus, bind to a single common receptor termed t "major" human rhinovirus receptor (HRR); the remaining 10% bind to one or m other cell receptors. Recently, Greve, J. et al.
- HRR intercellular adhesion molecule
- ICAM-1 is an integral membrane protein 505 amino acids lo and has: i) five immunoglobulin-like extracellular domains at the amino-terminal e (amino acid residues 1-453), ii) a hydrophobic transmembrane domain (454-477), a iii) a short cytoplasmic domain at the carboxy-terminal end (478-505).
- ICAM-1 is a member of the immunoglobulin supergene family and functions as ligand for the leukocyte molecule, lymphocyte function associated molecule- 1 (LF 1), a member of the integrin family.
- T primary structure of ICAM-1 has been found to be homologous to two cellul adhesion molecules, i.e., neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) and myeli associated glycoprotein (MAG),
- NCAM neural cell adhesion molecule
- MAG myeli associated glycoprotein
- ICAM-1 being major receptor
- HRV3 HRV14
- other "major” receptor serotypes neutralize them, while it does not bind or neutralize HRV2, a "minor” recep serotype.
- Further studies (unpublished), using purified tmICAM-1, demonstrate t it effectively inhibits rhinovirus infectivity in a plaque-reduction assay when rhinovirus is pretreated with tmICAM-1 (50% reduction of titer at 10 nM receptor one log reduction of titer at 100 nM receptor protein).
- tICAM(453) and tICAM(185) lack the transmembrane region and secreted into the cell culture medium. They bind to rhinovirus in the assay descri in Greve, et al., Cell, 56:879 (1989), supra, although at substantially reduced lev relative to tmICAM-1. Thus, their effectiveness as inhibitors of rhinoviral infectiv appeared to be less than that of tmICAM-1.
- USSN 07/239,571 filed September 1, 1988, and its CIP applications US 07/262,428, USSN 07/390,662 (abandoned in favor of continuation US 07/678,909), USSN 07/631,313, and USSN 07/704,996 are directed to the use transmembrane rhinovirus receptor as an inhibitor of rhinovirus infectivity using n ionic detergent to maintain the transmembrane protein in solution, and directed truncated intercellular adhesion molecules (tICAM) comprising one or more of extracellular domains I, II, III, IV, and V of tmlCAM, which truncated forms do require the presence of non-ionic detergent for solubilization (see Fig. 2).
- tICAM truncated intercellular adhesion molecules
- sICAM-1 truncated soluble form of the normally membra bound ICAM-1 molecule which they termed sICAM-1. It has both transmembrane domain and the cytoplasmic domain of the protein deleted and diff from the wild-type amino acid sequence by a single conservative substitution at carboxyl end. It is composed of residues 1-452 of ICAM-1 plus a novel phenylalani residue at the C-terminus.
- tmICAM-1 transmembra ICAM
- tICAMs non-transmembrane ICA
- This binding of multimeric tICAMs to HRV the same properties as the binding of HRV to ICAM-1 on HeLa cells: it is inhibi by anti-ICAM-1 Mabs, it is specific for rhinoviruses of the major receptor group, has the same temperature dependence as the binding of rhinovirus to cells (i.e. , bi well at 37°C and undetectably at 4°C). It is postulated that tmlCAM exists in nat in a multimeric, possibly dimeric form, and that such constructs more clos resemble the native configuration, with its attendant high avidity for the hu rhinovirus. Such dimerization may conveniently be achieved in vitro by, e.
- crosslinking two ICAM monomers by chemical means or by crosslinking w appropriate antibodies, or by binding monomers to appropriate inert substrat Multimerization can also be achieved in vivo by modification of the gene seque coding for the select ICAM to provide appropriate binding sites in the correspond peptide sequence.
- muteins can be engineered which contain appropri cysteine residues to allow in vivo multimerization via interchain disulfide bondi
- a DNA sequence coding for an ICAM may be fused with a D sequence coding for an appropriate immunoglobulin or fragment thereof, such t the fusion gene product possesses at least one site suitable for interchain bondi
- the resulting fusion peptide monomer can then be expressed by the cell in multime form.
- the benefits of multimerization may also achieved by construction of ICAM muteins containing multiple rhinovirus bindi sites.
- the invention further comprises a method for inducing irreversible uncoati of human rhinovirus, said method comprising contacting said human rhinovirus w ICAM-1 or a fragment thereof.
- This invention also provides a novel method of irreversibly inhibiti infectivity of a mammalian cell by a human rhinovirus, said method comprisi contacting said human rhinovirus with ICAM-1 or a fragment thereof un conditions which allow the ICAM-1 or fragment thereof to bind to said rhinovir thereby stimulating irreversible uncoating of said rhinovirus.

- tICAMs When the tICAMs are in a multimeric configurati preferably as dimers, they display enhanced binding of human rhinovirus and are a to reduce viral infectivity.
- Multimerization can be achieved by crosslinking a first ICAM to a seco ICAM, using suitable crosslinking agents, e.g. heterobifunctional a homobifunctional cross-linking reagents such as bifunctional N-hydroxysuccinim esters, imidoesters, or bis-maleimidohexanes.

- the different forms of ICAM, transmembrane and non-transmembrane be multimerized by adsorption to a support.
- This support can be made of materi such as nitrocellulose, PVDF, DEAE, lipid polymers, as well as amino dextran, a variety of inert polymers that can adsorb or can be coupled to ICAM, either w or without a spacer or linker.
- Multimeric ICAM can also be multimerized by coupling the ICAM t member, e.g. , an antibody that does not interfere with HRV binding, or fragme thereof; or to a protein carrier.
- an antibody includes anti-IC antibody CL 203 or a fragment thereof; suitable protein carriers include albumin proteoglycans.
- the ICAM can be modified with at least one react amino acid residue such as lysine, cysteine, or other amino acid residue(s) to prov a site(s) to facilitate coupling.
- modified ICAM are referred to muteins.

- the preferred eukaryotic cell is mammalian cell, e.g. Chinese hamster ovary cells or HEK293S cells; the prefe prokaryotic cell is . coH.
- the ICAM can be modified at either termi to comprise a lipid capable of promoting formation of oligomer micelles.
- the IC comprising the multimeric ICAM can be either fully glycosylated, parti glycosylated, or non-glycosylated.
- a preferred manner of making multimeric forms of ICAM-1 is by enginee of cysteine residues into the tICAM sequence (tICAM(453) is particularly prefe ⁇ in a position at or close to the natural site of self-association on ICAM-1 monome Muteins with cysteine residues placed at appropriate positions form covalent bo (disulfide bonds) that stabilize an interaction which is noncovalent in vivo.
- S muteins are assembled intracellularly and are expressed as a disulfide-linked dim alternatively, monomeric muteins may be crosslinked in vitro by incubation at hi protein concentration in mildly reducing conditions to encourage disulfide exchan or by crosslinking with bifunctional chemical crosslinking reagents which react w free sulfhydryl groups.
- Another advantage of such proteins is that any novel ami acids engineered into ICAM-1 are hidden on the dimer interface and would be l likely to be immunogenic.
- ICAM can also be multimerized by fusi with fragments of immunoglobulins to form ICAM immunoadhesins.
- an ICAM or fragment thereof can be fused with a heavy or light ch immunoglobulin or fragment thereof, in particular with the constant region of heavy chain of IgG, IgA, or IgM.
- the constant region contains the hin region and one or more of CH2 and CH3, but does not contain CHI .
- the varia region (Fab) of the immunoglobulin is thus replaced by the ICAM or fragm thereof.

HRV2, which binds to the "minor" receptor rather than the "maj receptor, was used as a negative control.
- Rhinoviruses HRV2, HRV3, and HRV 14 were obtained from the Ameri Type Culture Collection, plaque purified, and isolated from lysates of infected He S3 cells. Purified rhinovirus was prepared by polyethylene glycol precipitation sucrose gradient sedimentation. Viral purity was assessed by SDS-PAGE analysis capsid proteins and by electron microscopy. Infectivity was quantitated by a limit dilution infectivity assay scoring for cytopathic effect, essentially as described Minor, P.D., Growth, assay and purification of picomaviruses, in Virolog Practical Approach. B.W.J. Mahy, ed (Oxford:IRL Press), pp. 25-41.
- ICAM-1 BALB/cByJ female mice were immunized by intraperitoneal injection of 1 intact HeLa cells in 0.5 ml of phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) three times at 3-w intervals. Two weeks later the mice were bled and aliquots of serum were tested protective effects against HRV14 infection of HeLa cells. Positive mice were boos by a final injection of 10 7 HeLa cells, and 3 days later spleen cells were fused P3X63-Ag8.653 myeloma cells (Galfre, et al. , Nature, 266:550-552 (1977)) produce a total of approximately 700 hybridoma-containing wells.

- HRV14 was added to give complete cytopathic effect in 24-36 hr.
- Wells that w positive (protected from infection) were scored at 36 hr.
- Cells were removed from wells which scored positive in the first screen cloned by limiting dilution in 96-well microtiter plates. Supernatants from these w were tested in the cell protection assay and positive wells were again identifi Further clonings were performed until all of the hybridoma containing wells w positive indicating a clonal population had been obtained.

Amplification cycles consis of 94 C 1 min, 55 C 2 min, and 72 C 4 min. The product of the PCR reaction digested with EcoRl and cloned with EcoRl digested phage vector lambdaGT (Stratagene(TM)). Recombinant phage clones were screened by plaque hybridizati using ICAM-1 specific oligonucleotides
- a positive clone designated lambdaHRR4 was selected and purified. T insert was removed by EcoRl digestion and subcloned into the EcoRl site Bluescript KS + . This clone was designated pHRR2. The entire insert sequenced and found to contain the entire ICAM-1 coding sequence beginning w the initiator ATG codon and ending with the TGA stop codon as specified by the P ICAM-1 sequence (Simmons, et al., Nature, 331:624 (1988); Staunton, et al., C 52:925-933 (1988)) by a single substitution of Ala-1462 for Gly. This same chan was identified in several independent clones and thus represents a polymorphism the ICAM-1 gene.
- ICAM-1 cDNA Modified forms of the ICAM-1 cDNA were created by PCR amplificati reactions (Saiki, et al., Science, 230: 1350-1354 (1985)) using the full length ICA cDNA clone pHRR-2 as template.

Clones containing the desired inserts were verified by restricti analysis and DNA sequencing. The inserts were excised from Bluescript by digesti with Hindlll and Xbal and inserted into the expression vector CDM8 (Seed, Ox 239:840 (1987) at the Hindlll and Xbal sites. A clone containing the tICAM(45 insert designated pHRR-8.2 and a clone containing the tICAM(185) insert designat pHRR23-13 were selected and subjected to extensive sequence analysis. This verifi the existence of the desired stop codons, and the integrity of the selected regions ICAM-1 coding sequence.
- a modified full length ICAM- 1 was made by simultaneous mutagenesis of A at positions 103, 118, 156 and 173 each to Gin. This removes all four Asn-link glycosylation sites from extracellular domain II of the ICAM-1 molecule. T resultant molecule, refe ⁇ ed to as non-glycosylated transmembrane ICAM, w expressed on the surface of COS cells and was able to bind radio-labeled HRV3 levels comparable to unmodified ICAM-1. This result demonstrated th glycosylation of domain II (the first 185 amino acids) is not required for virus bindi to ICAM-1.
- tICAM having a Lys at position 453 was confirmed transient expression in COS cells.

In each construct a stop codon was introduced by changing the Glu resid at position 453 from GAG to TAG. The C-terminus is thus Tyr-452. Residues As 338, Thr-360, and Gln-387 were each separately mutated to Cys using a second si directed mutagenesis. The presence of the desired mutations were confirmed DNA sequencing.
- the residues selected for mutation to Cys were selected based on a comput generated plot of surface probability which predicts surface exposure of these regio Also, Thr-360 is in close proximity to Asn-358 which is a site of potential Asn-link glycosylation.
- Each of the three Cys mutants was expressed and secreted into t medium of transfected COS cells. Examination of the proteins under reducing a non-reducing conditions showed no indication of the presence of dimers. It anticipated that cross-linking reagents reactive with sulfhydryl groups can be used cross-link the Cys-modified tICAM forms to obtain multimeric forms.

UCAM184 was further purified by gel filtration on a Supero 12(TM) column. It is also recognized that non-transmembrane truncated forms of ICAM-1 be purified using standard ion exchange methodology without using monoclo antibody affinity chromatography.

- MONOCLONAL ANTIBODIES The epitopes reactive with monoclonal antibodies c78.4A and c78.5A conformationally-dependent epitopes and thus can be used as analytical probes confirming retention of the native ICAM structure.
- Known amounts of puri ICAM were incubated with c78.4A or c78.5A IgG-Sepharose(TM) and the frac of the radioactivity bound determined. These experiments showed that the puri tmICAM-1, tICAM(185), and tICAM(453) completely retained the ability to bin these monoclonal antibodies.
- Transfectants were metabolically labeled with [ 35 S]cysteine, and cell lys (for transmembrane ICAM) or culture supernatants (for truncated ICAM) prepared and incubated with c78.4A IgG-Sepharose(TM) beads.
- the beads washed and adsorbed proteins were eluted with sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) analysed by SDS-PAGE; see Greve, et al., Cell, 56:839-847 (1989)). It was fo that the isolated proteins were quantitatively bound to the c78.4A and c78.5A M Accordingly, the tICAM(185) and tICAM(453) both have retained na ICAM structure.
- SDS sodium dodecyl sulfate
- octylglucoside instead of Triton X-100 was diluted 10-fold into a Tris/NaCl bu and allowed to adsorb to the walls of a microtiter plate (Immunlon-4, Dynate overnight. Nonspecific binding sites on the plate were then blocked with 10 mg/ BSA and binding experiments performed in 0.1% Triton X-100/1 mg/ml BSA/10 Tris/200 mM NaCl. Approximately 20,000 cpm of [ 35 S]HRV3 were mixed w varying amounts of ICAM [tmlCAM, tICAM(453) or tICAM(185)], incubated f
- tmICAM-1 inhibits virus binding half-maximally at l concentrations (.008 ⁇ M) while tICAM(453) and tICAM(185) inhibit at much high concentrations (2.8 ⁇ M and 7.9 ⁇ M, respectively; or 350 to almost 1000-fold high than tmlCAM.

- the size of the virus is approximately 30 nanomete
- the length of tICAM(185) is less than 10 nanometers. The use of a spacer or lin would provide better accessibility for binding.

- the antibody can effectiv "cross-link” two molecules of tICAM(453), to create “dimers” of tICAM(453), without blocking the virus-binding site on each of the two molecules of tICAM(45).
- tICAM(453) a mixture of CL203 IgG and tICAM(453) at a 4:1 weight ratio was tested the competition assay, it was found that the antibody cross-linked tICAM(4 inhibited HRV3 binding at a concentration 7.4-fold lower than tICAM(453) al consistent with the idea that tmICAM-1 binds with higher affinity to rhinovi because it is a dimer or a small multimer.
- tICAM can be converted to a multimeric fo having enhanced viral binding and neutralization activity over the monomeric for
- a first tICAM can be coupled to a second tICAM(which may be same or different), or to an inert polymer, such as amino-dextran (MW 40,00 using homobifunctional (such as N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) esters) heterobifunctional (such as those containing NHS-ester and photoactivatable sulfhydryl-reactive groups) cross-linking reagents utilizing the amino group on amino-dextran and an amino or other group on the tICAM.

- tICAMs can also be bound to other suita inert polymers, such as nitrocellulose, PVDF, DEAE, lipid polymer, and other in polymers that can adsorb or be coupled to tICAM with or without a spacer or link
- a tICAM w a genetically-engineered C-terminal lysine residue (see Example 3) would h improved coupling efficiency to supports with homobifunctional reagents wher genetically-engineered C-terminal cysteine residues would facilitate coupling heterobifunctional reagents, such as sulfo-maleimidobenzoyl-N-hydroxysuccinim ester (MBS).
- MBS sulfo-maleimidobenzoyl-N-hydroxysuccinim ester

- an antibody e.g. CL2 or fragment thereof, or with a suitable protein ca ⁇ ier, e.g. albumin or proteoglyc ICAMs may also be multimerized by fusion with fragments immunoglobulins to form ICAM immunoadhesins.
- soluble tICAM multimers can be created by genetica engineering reactive residues into tICAM.
- free cysteine residues be created in relatively hydrophilic sequences in the C-terminal region of tIC (which would have a greater tendency to be solvent-exposed). This will allow creation of dimers in situ; alternatively, monomers can be purified and dimers crea in vitro by disulfide bonding, either directly or via suitable linkers.

- INFECTIVITY-NEUTRALIZATION ASSAY OF tmlCAM AND tICAMs Three different assays for virus infectivity have been used. These differ assays take into account the differences in transmembrane ICAM and n transmembrane solubilities.
- Virus is pre-incubated with transmembrane ICAM prot in the presence of 0.1% Triton X100, serially diluted into culture medium, incubat for 30 min with HeLa cells at 10 6 cells/ml, diluted 10-fold, and plated out i multiple wells of a 96-well microtiter plate having varying dilutions of virus.
- Triton X100 0.1% Triton X100 was used as positive control. After 5 days, the wells scored as either being infected or not by the presence of cytopathic effect (CPE) a the titer expressed as plaque-forming units/ml (PFU/ml) of the original virus. T assay was described in USSN 07/239,571 and was used to demonstrate the antivi activity of tmICAM-1 (which required the presence of detergent to remain solution). The concentration of ICAM protein used is the initial concentration in t pre-incubation mixture; however, the ICAM protein is not present continually duri the infection in that the protein is serially diluted. While the presence of deterg is required to solubilize the tmlCAM, detergent kills the cells; thus, the need for t serial dilutions of the tmICAM-1 /detergent to permit infection of cells.
- CPE cytopathic effect
- This assay is similar to that utilized by Marlin, et al. (Nature 1990) in wh a culture of HeLa cells is infected with 100 PFU of virus in the presence or abse of ICAM protein and cultured approximately 4 days until cytopathic effect (CPE apparent. The cultures are then scored for CPE visually. The assay conditions w the same as Marlin, supra. Scoring was done visually rather than by a stain procedure using crystal violet.
- IC50% is defined as the concentration of ICAM protein needed to inhibit HR infectivity by 50% .
- tmICAM-1 neutralization activity of tmICAM-1 is > 6 fold higher than tICAM(453) and than tICAM(185) in assay (A) and could be e greater in assay (B) if it were possible to have the tmICAM-1 present continually the culture medium in the absence of detergent.

- EXAMPLE 15 A tICAM ⁇ -451VLFA-3(210-237 Chimera
- a chimeric ICAM which is anchored on the cell surface by a phospholipid tail and lacks these domai (see Fig. 5). This experiment was designed to test whether the cytoplasmic a transmembrane domains are necessary for the formation of dimeric ICAM-1 on t cell surface, which results in the high affinity binding of rhinovirus.
- SUBSTITUTE SHEET 28 amino acids of the phospholipid-anchored form of LFA-3 Seed, B., Nature (198 329:840-842).
- this fragment was ligat to the ICAM-1 extracellular domain and cloned into the expression vector CDM resulting in the plasmid pHRR 70-19.
- This plasmid contains a cDNA coding f residues 1-451 of ICAM-1 fused to residues 210-237 of LFA-1, which should res in the expression of a phosphoplipid-anchored molecule containing the ICAM extracellular region. See Fig. 5.
- tICAM(453) can uncoat rhinovirus, event that normally occurs intracellularly during the course of infection. uncoating is a slow process, occurring with a tl/2 of 6 hours at 34 C, in contrast w the inhibition of binding, which occurs with a tl/2 of ⁇ 30 minutes. The uncoati is highly temperature-dependent, occurring 10 times faster at 37 C than at 34 C, optimal temperature of rhinovirus growth. Enhancement of this uncoating activity soluble forms of ICAM- 1 including multimeric configurations of ICAM- 1 will l to improvement of antiviral activity by making neutralization i ⁇ eversible.
- ICAM-1 domains have highest homology to constant region-like domai Thus, the most likely sites of interaction are on the B face of the domains; the m likely sites on the B face to place cysteine residues are close to the center of th face (adjacent to the cysteine on* the B strand that forms the intrachain disulf bond), where IgG CH3 domains self-associate, or on the N-terminal end of the face, where IgG CH2 domains and MHCl/beta-2 microglobulin self-associate.

These cDNAs the vector CDM8 were then transfected into COS cells and dimer formation acces by biosynthetic labelling of ICAM-1 with [ 35 S]cysteine followed immunoprecipitation and non-reducing SDS-PAGE analysis. As shown in Table of 13 mutants tested, two have been found to form dimers at a small (about 5%) significant level:
- Cys-307 and Cys-309 are both located on the N-terminal end the B face of domain IV.
- the relatively low level of dimerization may reflect the l concentration of ICAM-1 on the cell surface (low expression), or imperf orientation of the cysteine residues relative to the site of interaction. These d indicate that this region of the domain is a likely site of interaction.
- Other resid adjacent to residues 307 and 309, e.g. His-308, Arg-310, Glu-294, Arg-326, Gln-3 are likely to increase the efficiency of the dimer formation. Mutations that lead dimer formation of tmICAM-1 are then be placed on tICAM(453) for the secreti of soluble ICAM-1 dimers.

- multimeric ICAM may be effective inhibitors of the ICAM-l/LFA-1 interaction, as the affinity between these effective inhibitors of the ICAM-l/LFA-1 interaction, as the affinity between th two molecules is quite low and the cell-cell binding mediated by these two molecu is highly cooperative.
- prefe ⁇ ed form and configuration is a non-transmembr (truncated) ICAM in dimeric configuration, it is not intended to preclude other for and configurations effective in binding virus and effective in neutralizing viral activ from being included in the scope of the present invention.
