Definitions
- IL-2 is necessary for complete activation of the immune response to a foreign antigen. The inclusion of exogenous IL-2 at the time of immunization ensures adequate amounts of IL-2 are present locally for a complete and efficient activation of the immune system.
- IL-2 has demonstrated varying levels of modulation of antitumor activity. However, further improvements are necessary if this strategy is to be applied in the veterinary clinic. In order to circumvent toxicity issues associated with the systemic administration of cytokines, a method of localized delivery of cytokines to the tumor microenvironment at appropriate concentrations is required. Therefore, the delivery system employed to achieve this goal is a key to success.

- the poxvirus may be an avipox virus, particularly a canarypox virus, for example, an
- the poxvirus may be a vaccinia virus, for example, a NYVAC virus expressing the biological response modifier.
- the recombinant poxvirus used herein generally has non-essential virus-encoded genetic function inactivated therein.
- the biological response modifier preferably is a cytokine or a chemokine, such as a feline cytokine. Examples of cytokines useful in the present invention, include interleukins, such as IL-2 or IL-12, or granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF).

- the antigen may be administered, by conventional means known to those having skill in the art, to an animal that has been previously or contemporaneously infected with the recombinant poxvirus of the present invention. By administering to an animal in this way the biological response modifier together with the antigen of interest, an enhanced immune response to the antigen of interest may be obtained relative to that observed were the antigen of interest to be administered without the biological response modifier.
- the present invention further includes, in another aspect thereof, cells infected by a recombinant poxvirus as provided herein and wherein the biological response modifier is expressed in the cells.

- Recombinant poxvirus expressing a biological response modifier such as cytokine and chemokines, augment or enhance an immune response to an antigen or antigens.
- the antigens can be provided independently of the recombinant poxvirus or, preferably, they are encoded by the recombinant poxvirus to ensure optimal spatial and temporal delivery of the antigen together with the biological response modifier.
- Figure 1 demonstrates expression of functional feline IL-2 from the recombinant virus vCP1338.
- Patents Nos. 5,453,364, 5,225,336 and 5,155,020 relate to attenuated recombinant vaccinia virus constructs.
- U.S. Patents Nos. 5,174,993 and 5,505,941 relate to recombinant avipox vims constructs and methods of use thereof.
- the NYVAC strain was derived from the vaccinia virus Copenhagen strain by the precise deletion of 18 ORFs encoding functions implicated in the pathogenicity of orthopoxviruses, as well as host-range regulatory functions governing the replication competency of these viruses on cells from certain species (Tartaglia et al, 1992).
- NYVAC General biological properties include: 1) a highly debilitated replicative capacity on cells derived from mice, swine, equids, and humans; 2) the ability to replicate with wildtype efficiency on primary chick embryo fibroblasts; and 3) a highly attenuated phenotype in immunocompetent and immunocompromised animal systems used historically to assess the virulence of vaccinia virus strains (Tartaglia et al, 1992). These attributes are described in detail in U.S. Patent No. 5,494,807. Despite these highly attenuated properties, NYVAC has been shown to function effectively as an immunization vehicle (Tartaglia et al, 1992; Konishi et al, 1992).
- NYVAC provides a safer alternative to existing vaccinia virus vaccine strains for developing vector-based vaccine candidates. Due to the attenuation profile of NYVAC, the Recombinant DNA Advisory Committee of the National Institutes of Health has reduced the biological containment level of this virus from BSL-2 to
- BSL-1 It is the only member of the Orthopoxvirus genus accorded a BSL-1 biocontainment level.
- the basic vaccinia virus vector technology has been extended to other members of the poxvirus family.
- Extension to the Avipoxvirus genus, in particular fowlpoxvirus (FPV) was targeted for species-specific applications in the poultry industry (Taylor et al, 1988a).
- ALVAC like NYVAC
- NYVAC has demonstrated a highly attenuated phenotype in a number of animal systems comparing existing vaccinia virus vaccine strains (Tartaglia et al, 1992).
- the Recombinant DNA Advisory Committee has reduced the biological containment for ALVAC to BSL-1.
- the concept of using a non-replicating vector in humans was supported by the results of phase I clinical trials using an ALVAC-based rabies G (Cadoz et al, 1992) and an ALVAC- HIV-1 MN env (Pialoux et al, 1995) recombinant.
- the poxvirus vectors are used in a novel manner to modulate an immune response.
- Several biological response modifiers have been cloned and assessed in the treatment of various conditions including cancer, autoimmunity and transplantation. The effectiveness of many of these treatments has been limited by the large doses required and the associated toxicity.
- the recombinant poxvirus vector, particularly the ALVAC vector is used to deliver immunomodulatory molecules, such as cytokines or chemokines, to the appropriate environment in an animal, particularly a feline, at appropriate concentrations.
- immunomodulatory molecules such as cytokines or chemokines
- NYVAC expressing immunomodulatory molecules is a new and useful approach for the treatment of certain conditions, particularly cancer, where the use of biological response modifiers has shown promise.
- the present invention employs recombinant poxvirus as the delivery system for cytokines in tumor therapy.
- a canarypox (ALVAC) virus encoding Interleukin-2 (IL-2) as a candidate cancer immunotherapeutic.
- ALVAC-feline IL-2 expresses functional feline IL-2 which can be used to treat biological response-modifier susceptible conditions such as infection or tumor formation in animals.
- ALVAC-feline IL-2 may be used as an anticancer immuno therapeutic in cats.
- the recombinant pox virus that is described and referred to herein has been deposited with the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) located at 12301 Parklawn Drive, Rockville, Maryland 20852, USA pursuant to the Budapest Treaty and prior to the filing of this application. Samples of the deposited plasmid will become available to the public and all restrictions imposed on access to the deposit will be removed upon grant of a patent on this application.
- the invention described and claimed herein is not to be limited in scope by recombinant virus deposited, since the deposited embodiment is intended only as an illustration of the invention. Any equivalent or similar recombinant virus is within the scope of the invention.

- pHCOSl cosmid clone containing a 29 kb insert was identified (pHCOSl).
- a 3.3 kb Clal fragment from pHCOSl containing the C5 region was identified (SEQ ID NO: 1).

This fragment was digested with PstI and cloned into Smal/PstI digested pC5LAB to yield pC5L.

- TAGCTCGAGGGTACCTACGATACAAACTTAACGGATATCG-3' The PCR product was digested with BamHI and Xhol (sites present at the 5'end of CP30 and CO31, respectively) and ligated to BamHI/XhoI digested pC5LSP generating plasmid pVQH6C5LSP.
- This plasmid was digested with EcoRI, ligated with kinased and self- annealed oligonucleotide CP29 (SEQ ID NO: 10)(5'-AATTGCGGCCGC-3') and digested with Notl.
- the linearized plasmid was purified and self-ligated to generate pNVQH6C5LSP- 5.
