- a specific antigen for use in the treatment of mammalian particularly human immune disorders include inflammatory conditions, autoimmune diseases, allergic conditions, the treatment of cancers, including human leukaemias of a T cell origin and as agents in the prevention of human transplantation rejection and graft versus host disease (GNHD).
- GNHD graft versus host disease
- Autoimmumty is the term used to describe the mechanism by which the body generates an immune response to self-antigens. It has been disclosed in the art that agents which have GM-1 binding activity, or which have an effect on GM-1 mediated intracellular signalling events but no GM-1 binding activity, are useful as therapeutic
- WO95/10301 disclosed agents which consisted of a mucosa-binding molecule linked to a specific tolerogen.
- GM-1 binding agents provided in WO97/02045 were cholera toxin (Ctx), the B subunit of cholera toxin (CtxB), the
- E.coli heat labile toxin Etx
- EtxB E.coli heat labile toxin
- allergen a normally harmless environmental stimulus, called an "allergen”
- Allergies or hypersensitivities are distinguished into four types of reactions. The first three are antibody-mediated, the fourth is mediated mainly by T cells and macrophages.
- IgE In Type I Immediate Hypersensitivity/ Atopic Allergy, the principal immune response to the allergen involves the production of IgE antibodies. Such disorders are by far the most prevalent in humans and are seen as principal targets for new therapeutic approaches. Although these diseases are not exclusively IgE mediated, IgE binds to cells within the tissues such as mast cells and basophils and the cross-linking of IgE on the cells surfaces by allergen invokes the release of many inflammatory mediators.
- Typical examples of such diseases include asthma, allergic cough, allergic rriinitis and conjunctivitis, atopic eczema and dermatitis, urticaria, hives, insect bite allergy, dietary and certain drug allergies.
- the particular allergens are known.
- the principal allergen in asthma is DerPl from house dust mite but other triggers of asthma such as pet dander antigens also exist.
- Type II or antibody dependent cytotoxic hypersensitivity occurs when antibodies of a different type, usually IgG and IgM, binds to either self antigen or foreign antigen on cells and leads to phagocytosis, killer cell activity or complement mediated lysis. These types of allergies are relatively unusual but can include some allergies to drugs.
- Type III hypersensitivity develops when immune complexes are formed in large quantites or cannot be cleared adequately by the reticuloendothelial system. The immune complexes usually result from the deposition of antibody, usually IgM or IgG, allergen complexes at these sites. In normal circumstances, antibody binds to allergen and is cleared by a variety of tissue cells.
- Type IN or delayed type hypersensitivity does not involve antibody but instead the prolonged activation of T lymphocytes. These T cells are capable of secreting soluble factors causing tissue damage and enhancing the recruitment and activation of other cell types to the tissues. Incoming cells themselves contribute to the inflammation and tissue damage. DTH is most seriously manifested when antigens (for example those associated with mycobacteria tuberculosis) are trapped in a macrophage and cannot be cleared. T cells are then stimulated to elaborate cytokines which mediate a range of inflammatory responses. DTH reactions are less common than Type I reactions but are seen in graft rejection and allergic contact dermatitis which is generally manifested as a contact sensitivity (allergy usually involving skin rash) to environmental "contact allergens" such as heavy metals.
- WO 95/01301 discloses an immunological tolerance-inducing agent comprising a mucosa-binding agent linked to a specific tolerogen.
- WO95/10301 also includes mention of the treatment of allergy using a mucosa binding agent coupled to an allergen.
- Other researchers such as Tamura et al (1997 Vaccine 15: 225-229) have taken directly the protocol of WO 95/10301 and tested its efficacy in preventing allergy in a murine model of Type I allergy. They reported a significant lowering of IgE levels which are a strong predictor of efficacy and they cite data, following administration of EtxB coupled to ovalbumin (the results were not included), which shows that EtxB was not effective once IgE levels are established.
- immunological tolerance may include a number of different mechanisms which may be summarised as follows:
- GM1 is a member of family of ganglioside receptors comprising sialic acid containing glycolipids (also called glycosphingolipids) which are formed by a hydrophobic portion, the ceramide and a hydrophilic part, that is the oligosaccharide chain.
- glycolipids also called glycosphingolipids
- gangliosides are usually associated with plasma membranes, where they can act as receptors for a variety of molecules and have been shown to take part in cell-to-cell interaction and in signal transduction.
- Glycosphingolipids other than GM1 gangliosides, are also capable of acting as plasma membrane receptors.
- One member of this glycosphingolipid family which acts as a plasma membrane receptor is globotriaosylceramide, (Gb3), which is optionally represented as
- Gb3 mediates the internalisation of a family of E. coli derived toxins called verotoxins (NT), into susceptible cells by capping and receptor mediated endocytosis (RM ⁇ ) (Khine and Lingwood 1994 J Cell Physiol 161: 319-332).
- the action of the verotoxins (NT) in causing human vascular disease is dependent on the specific recognition of receptors on target endothelial cells ( ⁇ yholm et al 1996 Chem Biol 3: 263-275).
- Gb3 has been shown to be the most effective receptor for VT-1 in vitro and to be a functional plasma membrane receptor which mediates cytopathology for most sensitive cells (Boyd et al 1994 ⁇ ur J Biochem 223: 873-878).
- E. coli verotoxin has been characterized as having an "A" subunit of approximately 31,000 daltons and five "B" subunits each having an approximate molecular weight of 5,500 daltons.
- the A subunit possesses the biological activity of the toxin which is involved in inhibiting protein synthesis, whereas the B subunits are presumed to mediate specific binding and receptor-mediated uptake of the toxin.
- the verotoxins are closely related to Shiga toxin and have been widely referred to as Shiga-like toxins (SLTs) as they mediate the same enterotoxic, cytotoxic, and neuro toxic effects of Shiga toxin, produced by the Shigella dysenteriae type 1. It has been shown that the antigenically distinct Shiga like toxins (SLTs) SLT-1 and SLT-II use Gb3 as functional receptors (Samuel et al 1990 Infect Immun 58: 611-618) whereas the SLT II variants may use different receptors.
- the B subunits of verotoxins, VT1 and VT2 demonstrate terminal Gal 1-4 Gal- dependent binding.
- the binding B oligomers of SLTI, SLTII and SLTIIvh recognize host cell glycolipid receptors containing at minimum the disaccharide subunit ⁇ Gal(l-4) ⁇ Gal at the non-reducing terminus.
- SLTII vp has been shown to bind to the receptors containing this subunit but not necessarily at the non-reducing end (Samuel, J.
- the carbohydrate recognition domain also known as the P (k) trisaccharide, of the Gb3 receptor for SLT-1 (St Hilaire et al 1994 Biochem 33: 14452-14463) is represented as
- VTEC VT producing E coli
- SLT-EC Shiga-like toxin producing E coli

- Gb3 glycolipid receptor
- Agents capable of modulating glycosphingolipid associated activity are tested by any one of a variety of methods. Examples of such methods include, but are not limited to the following methods:
- Binding to a glycosphingolipid is determined by using purified Gb3 to coat microtiter plates. Following blocking of further non-specific protein binding to the plate, the agent under investigation is applied to the plate and allowed to interact prior to washing and detection with specific antibodies to said agent. Conjugation of the antibodies either directly or indirectly to an enzyme or radiolabel allows subsequent quantification of binding either using colormetric or radioactivity based methods (ELISA or RIA respectively).
- the pentasaccharide moiety of a glycosphingolipid such as Gb3 is bound to a suitable column matrix in order to allow standard affinity chromatography to be performed. Removal of known compounds applied to the column from the diluent are used as evidence for binding activity. Alternatively, where mixtures of compounds are applied to the column, elution and subsequent analysis allows the properties of the agent capable of modulating glycosphingolipid associated activity to be determined.
- Protein analysis includes peptide sequencing and tryptic digest mapping followed by comparisons with available databases. If eluted proteins cannot be identified in this way, then standard biochemical analysis, such as, for example, mass determination by laser desorption mass spectrometry is used to further characterise the compound. Non- proteins eluted from Gb3-affinity columns are analysed by HPLC and mass spectrometry of single homogenous peaks.
- glycosphingolipid such as Gb3
- affinity of the interaction may be determined using plasmon surface resonance as previously reported by (Kuziemko et al (1996) Biochem 35:6375-6384).
- the identification of agents capable of modulating a glycosphingolipid associated activity such that the modulation of the glycosphingolipid associated activity affects an autoimmune condition is determined as follows:
- Animal models of an autoimmune disease can be used to assess the efficacy of an agent capable of modulating a glycosphingolipid associated activity to prevent autoimmune disease.
- An example of the use of an animal model of autoimmune disease is the induction of arthritis in DBA/1 mice. Evaluation of agents is conducted by injecting groups of DBA/1 mice with bovine collagen in Complete Freund's Adjuvant (CFA) by intradermal (id) injection in the flank in the presence or absence of the agent capable of modulating a glycosphingolipid associated activity in order to assess prevention of disease development.
- CFA Complete Freund's Adjuvant

- IF A Incomplete Freund's Adjuvant
- the identification of agents capable of modulating a glycosphingolipid associated activity such that the modulation of the glycosphingolipid associated activity affects an allergic condition and/or a hypersensitivity condition is determined as follows: Laboratory animals are stimulated to produce antigen-specific IgE by methods well known in the art. By way of example, mice are challenged with alum precipitated soluble protein antigen (e.g. ovalbumin or allergens known to be involved in human allergic diseases such as ragweed or house dust mite antigens) either subcutaneously or intraperitoneally.
- alum precipitated soluble protein antigen e.g. ovalbumin or allergens known to be involved in human allergic diseases such as ragweed or house dust mite antigens
- agents capable of modulating glycosphingolipid associated activity are admimstered to mice either in the presence or absence of the challenge antigen at a range of doses, and by a variety of routes.
- oral route is the preferred method of administration, delivery can be by other mucosal surfaces or parenterally.
- the frequency of such administration as well as the timing of repetitive dosing is also investigated.
- intervention strategies are utilised either prior to the IgE inducing antigen challenge (prophylaxis) or after the
- Antigen challenge can be either with (i) the antigen used as part of the prophylactic or treatment protocol; (ii) an unrelated antigen or (iii) a mixture of the challenge and unrelated antigen in order to test the specificity of the response and the induction of bystander suppression respectively.
- Efficacy is determined in a variety of ways and is manifested as a number of different outcomes.
- Antigen-specific IgE levels Measurement of serum IgE by specific ELISA (as described) is used to determine whether prophylactic or treatment protocols are capable of reducing levels of serum antigen-specific IgE. Other methods known in the art for the determination of IgE response are used either as alternatives to ELISA or in order to provide complementary data. Such methods include the so-called “Ussing Chamber test” or "passive cutaneous anaphylaxis” assay. A reduction in specific IgE, as determined by any of these assays, is a strong marker of potential clinical efficacy.
- T-cell reactivity The responses of T-cells, derived from secondary lymphoid organs of the treated animals to the challenge antigen, is investigated using established methodology. Cell suspensions are prepared and cultured, in the presence or absence of the challenge antigen. At appropriate time intervals after the initiation of the cultures, samples are assessed for cell proliferation and cytokine production.
- Cytokines are measured by specific capture ELISA, by intracellular staining followed by cytometric analysis, by RT-PCR or by other established procedures. Comparison of cell proliferation and cytokine production, in the presence of antigen as opposed to its absence, provides in each case a measure of that part of the response which is specific to the challenge antigen.
- Evidence of efficacy of prophylactic or treatment protocols is demonstrated by a reduction in the production of Th2 associated cytokines (in particular IL-4) or by an increased expression of cytokines which are involved in down-regulating the allergic response (for example, IL-10 or TGF ⁇ ).
- IgG and IgA levels Protocols which do not reduce the levels of antigen specific IgE can still be considered as potentially effective in the event that they are also able to enhance the production of other non-allergy associated antibody isotopes.
- Standard antigen specific ELISA assays utilising detecting antibodies specific for IgG and specific subclass thereof, and IgA are used for this purpose.
- Enhanced production of secreted or serum IgG or IgA antibodies indicate efficacy since such antibodies can be expected to prevent an allergen from cross-linking IgE bound to mast cells, basopbils and eosinophils or limit the uptake of antigen across the mucosal epithelium and hence prevent the subsequent allergic inflammatory response.
- glycosphingolipid binding assay for the detection of glycosphingolipid binding agents such as verotoxins has been developed according to the teachings as set out in US5164298. This assay is based on the immobilization of deacylated globotriaosyl ceramide in microtitre wells.

- glycolipid-bound toxin is visualized by use of a polyclonal rabbit antiserum and an immunoperoxidase indicator system.
- Other indicator systems well known to those skilled in the art of ELISA would also be suitable.
- a deacylated Gb3, having a free amino group could also be covalently bound to another protein either directly or through the incorporation of a spacer arm. This second protein could then be used in the primary binding step in the assay.
- the glycosphingolipid instead of attaching the glycosphingolipid to a protein as an assay component, it could be covalently bound directly to a solid phase support as an assay component or alternatively, the assay component may be a liposome which contains the glycosphingolipid receptor.
- solid phase supports include microtitre plates, test tubes, glass beads, nitrocellulose and latex particles.
- the plates or test tubes may be of glass or a plastic such as polyvinyl chloride, polystyrene or latex.
- the principle of using a glycosphingolipid in a receptor-based assay for verotoxin could be applied to any of the well known assay technologies, including radioimmunoassay, cell-binding cytotoxicity assays, thin layer chromatography assays and agglutination assays.
- the principle could also be used in a fluorescence based receptor assay for verotoxin using toxin sensitive target cells as the receptor bearing vehicle.
- Binding of VtxB to Gb3 or deacylated Gb3 can also be examined using an adaptation of the GM1 ELISA reported by Amin, T., & Hirst, T.R (1994 Prot. Express, and Purif. 5, 198-204) where GM1 is replaced by Gb3 or deacylated Gb3 respectively.
- Sera and gut secretions are examined for the presence of anti-B subunit IgG and IgA antibodies by ELISAs in which samples are applied to microtitre plates (Immulon I, Dynateck, USA) coated with 5 ⁇ g/ml of VtxB in PBS.
- Anti-B subunits IgA antibodies in gut secretion supernatants are extrapolated from a standard curve made by coating 2 rows of wells on each plate with l ⁇ g/ml rabbit anti-mouse IgA ( ⁇ chain specific; Zymed Lab, USA) in PBS followed by addition of l ⁇ g/ml of mouse myeloma IgA (MOPC 315, Sigma, USA).
- LFN- ⁇ LFN- ⁇ is used. Briefly, microtiter plates are coated with rat antibodies to mouse IL-2, IL-4, IL-5, IL-10 and IFN- ⁇ . Plates are blocked with 2% (w/v) bovine serum albumin. Supernatants from culture medium are added to wells and diluted down. One row on each plate for each cytokine contains a standard amount of recombinant cytokines. Plates are then incubated with 0.5 ⁇ g/ml of biotinylated anti-cytokine monoclonal antibodies followed by addition of avidine-peroxidase and 3,3', 5,5' - Tetramethylbenzidene (TMB) substrate and read at A 450nm .
