Definitions
- the invention herein relates to live-virus vaccines and their production and use.
- Live virus vaccines possess many desirable properties. Perhaps the most successful vaccines of any kind are those which employ live attenuated virus to elicit effective and extremely long lasting immunity in a very high proportion of immunized subjects. Live virus vaccines often induce effective immunity with a single immunization, making them ideal vaccines for large-scale use in developing countries, While killed virus vaccines can be effective, even against lethal agents, immunity is often short lived, such that multiple immunizations can be required even for transient protection.
- SIV simian immunodeficiency virus
- a more immediate application of attenuated virus vaccines may include their use as immunotherapeutic agents in the treatment of HIV infected individuals.
- a number of therapeutic vaccines are in clinical trial, including the use of inactivated envelope-deficient virus and the use of recombinant envelope protein.
- retrovirus vectored expression of HIV envelope protein is being developed as a therapeutic vaccine. The persistence, potency, and breadth of the immune responses elicited by these vaccines would be limited compared to that expected for a live attenuated virus vaccine.
- the invention herein of safe and immunogenic molecular clones (mutants) of HIV-1 which have been altered to exhibit minimal cytopathogenicity, impaired and/or limited infectivity, and susceptibility to complete eradication by various non-toxic agents.
- mutants of HIV-1 possess multiple genetic defects, including defects in the vif, vpu , env, vpr, and nef genes.
- Cell lines for production of several of these viruses (Molt-3/X295 ⁇ S135, Molt3/X295 ⁇ S) have also been double-cloned by limiting dilution and repeated screening.
- HXB2gpt phenotypically vpr- , vpu- , nef-
- HXB2 ⁇ S containing a large deletion in vif and vpr
- X295 containing a deletion of the carboxy-terminal envelope and nef regions in the HXB2 background
- HXB2ala313 constructed fro HXB2, containing an envelope cassette from BH10 with a two-base mutation changing the "gpgr" motif at the tip of the V3 loop in env to "gagr"
- HXB2 ⁇ 135 containing a 84 bp deletion of the V3 loop in env, again in a HXB2 background containing the BH10
- the invention herein includes a method for the production of attenuated human immunodeficiency viruses (HIV) which comprises providing a plasmid comprising a proviral HIV clone and env , nef, vif, and vpr regions, and deleting from the plasmid significant portions of at least three of the env, nef, vif, and vpr regions, whereby the plasmid following deletion exhibits cell-free infectivity and reduced syncytium formation ability.
- HIV human immunodeficiency viruses
- the initial plasmid is pHXB2gpt or a mutant thereof having deletions in not more than two of the env , nef, vif, and vpr regions.
- the plasmid will also contain an int or tat region with a deletion therein.
- a plasmid comprising a proviral HIV clone and env, nef, vif, and vpr regions, from which significant portions of initial lengths of at least three of the env, nef, vif, and vpr regions have been deleted, the resultant product plasmid with the deletions exhibiting cell-free infectivity and reduced syncytium formation ability.
- deletions are made in all four of said regions.
- the initial plasmid is pHXB2gpt or a mutant thereof having deletions in not more than two of the env, nef, vif, and vpr regions.
- the plasmid will also contain an int or tat region with a deletion therein.
- One may also include a polylinker for subcloning of at least one suicide gene.
- an attenuated human immunodeficiency virus comprising a plasmid comprising a proviral HIV clone and env, nef, vif, and vpr regions, from which significant portions of initial lengths of at least three of the env, nef, vif, and vpr regions have been deleted, the resulting plasmid with said deletions exhibiting cell- free infectivity and reduced syncytium formation ability.
- deletions are made in all four of said regions.
- the initial plasmid is pHXB2gpt or a mutant thereof having deletions in not more than two of the env, nef, vif, and vpr regions.
- the plasmid will also contain an int or tat region with a deletion therein.
- the invention also includes a method for prophylactic prevention of infection of a person by a human immunodeficiency virus which comprises administering to the person a prophylactically effective amount of the attenuated human immunodeficiency virus of this invention; a vaccine for such prophylactic prevention of infection; a method for therapeutic treatment of infection of a person infected by a human immunodeficiency virus which comprises administering to said person a therapeutically effective amount of the attenuated human immunodeficiency virus of this invention; and a vaccine for therapeutic treatment (including amelioration or possible cure) of a person infected by a human immunodeficiency virus which comprises a therapeutically effective amount of the attenuated human immunodeficiency virus of this invention.
- Vectored delivery is contemplated by the plasmid of this invention having an envelope devoid of promoter and polyadenylation signal regions; providing a method of vectored prophylactic prevention of infection of a person by a human immunodeficiency virus which comprises administering to said person a prophylactically effective amount of that plasmid encompassed in a replication- deficient virus; and providing a method of vectored therapeutic treatment of a person infected by a human immunodeficiency virus which comprises administering to said person a therapeutically effective amount of that plasmid encompassed in a replication-deficient virus.

- the invention herein encompasses several different forms of the HIV-1 virus mutants.
- attenuated live viruses i.e., viruses impaired in infectivity, cytopathogenicity, or actual pathogenicity which are capable of indefinite replication in the host, at some level
- attenuated live viruses with suicide genes i.e., viruses expressing genes which are normally harmless to the host but which can trigger cell death in the presence of pharmacologic agents (e.g.
- thymidine kinase and ganciclovir allowing the populations of infected cells in the immunized host to be eradicated; controlled attenuated viruses, i.e., totally replication defective viruses which require addition of essential viral proteins as exogenous agents (e.g. TAT protein) in order to replicate In the host; and vectored or complemented replication defective viruses, i.e., viruses which will undergo only a single round or two rounds of replication which result in production of infectious virions due to complementation in producer lines or initial target cells, but which subsequently produce only non-infectious virions.
- controlled attenuated viruses i.e., totally replication defective viruses which require addition of essential viral proteins as exogenous agents (e.g. TAT protein) in order to replicate In the host
- vectored or complemented replication defective viruses i.e., viruses which will undergo only a single round or two rounds of replication which result in production of infectious virions due to complementation in producer lines or initial target cells, but which subsequently produce only
- the starting clones included HXB2gpt (phenotypically vpr- , vpu- , nef-) , HXB2 ⁇ S (containing a large deletion in vif and vpr, X295 (containing a deletion of the carboxy-terminal envelope and nef regions in the HXB2 background) , HXB2ala313 (constructed from HXB2, containing an envelope cassette from BH10 with a two-base mutation changing the "gpgr" motif at the tip of the V3 loop to "gagr") , and HXB2 ⁇ 135 containing a 84 bp deletion of the V3 loop, again in a HXB2 background containing the BH10 envelope cassette) .
- Mutant viruses created included HXB2 ⁇ Sala313, HXB2 ⁇ S ⁇ 135, X95 ⁇ S, X295ala313, X295 ⁇ 135, X295 ⁇ Sala313, and X295 ⁇ S ⁇ 135 (some of which are shown in Figure 2) .
- plasmids provide a convenient SstI plasmid fragment, devoid of promoter and polyadenylation signal, which can be moved into other expression cassettes.
- replication-deficient DNA viruses CMV, HSV and BPV vectors
- this is believed to be capable of providing all of the advantages of live-virus vaccines (complete particle production, intracellular production of proteins, persistent presentation for several weeks to months) in the context of a proviral clone which is totally incapable of producing infections particles due to the deletion in the 3'-LTR (required for successful reverse-transcription and integration.)
- the invention also encompasses clones with deletions of additional genes, including clones with deletions in the first coding exon of tat and an int mutant which would be limited to a single round of infection, with subsequent production of intact yet non-infectious virus particles. These are constructed in the background of the X295 ⁇ S and X295 ⁇ Sala313 clones. Such additional mutations may also be moved into the LTR-deleted X194 based clones. TAT defective mutants may be created by PCR mutagenesis, with introduction of three stop codons into the tat first exon, to complement with recombinant TAT protein.
- integrase mutants and complementary producing lines may be achieved by inserting multiple frame stop cloning sites at the beginning of int by PCR mutagenesis, and deleting int and remaining vpr (whole central region of the virus) to just before the tat splice acceptor (Sail site) , while amplifying int with other primer pairs (with introduction of a consensus start signal, acylation signal, and protease cleavage signal) for cloning into a CMV promoter plasmid.
- Plasmids such as pMAMneo, pRc/RSV, pRe/CMV and pcDNAIneo each have some distinct advantages and liabilities, but those skilled in the art will be easily able to select appropriate vectors in different situations for expression in trans, leaving no shared sequences with the proviral plasmid.
- the vif-vpr deletion in native X295 may be reconstructed, using a unique Xcml-Ncol sites, to insert a polylinker for subcloning of one or two suicide genes,such as HSV tk and bacterial xgpt genes, into the viral vif and nef reading frames.
- suicide genes such as HSV tk and bacterial xgpt genes
- Both of these genes allow both positive and negative selection using certain cell lines and agents in vitro , allowing easy selection of producing clones using mycophenolic acid/HAT selection, etc. Negative selection is included to permit in vivo eradication of expressing clones.
- HIV-1 HN and wild-type strain envelopes may be amplified for this purpose. This should alleviate any expectation that since HXB2 (from III B /LAV/LAI) is not a prevalent strain, it would not be particularly appropriate for vaccine purposes, especially with respect to envelope coding sequences.
- Characterization of clones in vitro is by a variety of means, including confirmation of expected patterns of protein expression; replication in primary cells, such as CD4+ lymphocytes and monocytes; replication in cell lines; syncytium forming capability in vitro ; cell killing in vitro ; and demonstration of eradication of clones containing suicide genes by selective agents in vitro .
- Selection and characterization of producing lines and virus preparations for inoculation must adhere to good manufacturing practices standard for animal and human administration.
- the various mutants may be tested in animal models in a number of different types of experiments, including but not limited to establishment of infectivity in macaque cells; infectivity for M. nomestrina; exploration of cutaneous inoculation; evaluation of proviral persistence; evaluation of immunogenicity, including neutralizing antibody, ADCC, and cytolytic activity; and eradication of clones containing suicide genes.
- the route of administration in humans is expected to be by cutaneous (intradermal) or subcutaneous administration. Both single and multiple injections are contemplated.
