Definitions
- the present invention relates to the use of a peptide composition as an immunogen, with each peptide contained therein comprising a target antigenic site derived from the VP1 capsid protein of Foot-and-Mouth Disease Virus (FMDV), with said antigenic site covalently linked to a helper T cell epitope and, preferably, other immunostimulatory sequences, preferably by conventional peptide bond(s) through direct synthesis, for the prevention of FMDV infection and eradication of Foot-and-Mouth Disease (FMD) .
- FMDV Foot-and-Mouth Disease Virus
- the present invention relates to the use of such peptide composition as an immunogen to elicit the production in animals including swine, cattle, sheep, goats and susceptible wild species, of high titer polyclonal antibodies that can effectively neutralize, in vitro, multiple strains or serotypes of FMDV, and to the use of such composition as a vaccine to prevent and/or reduce the incidence of FMDV infection regardless of serotype.
- the present invention also relates to the peptides used in the compositions, and to immunoassays and/or diagnostic kits containing one or more of these peptides, or segments thereof.
- Foot-and-mouth disease is the most economically significant disease of domestic livestock. Cloven-hoofed animals of the order Artiodactyla, such as cattle, pigs, sheep and goats, are susceptible.
- the causative agent, foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) is an aphthovirus of the Picornaviridae family having a positive sense RNA genome encoding four capsid proteins (VP1-VP4) and non-structural polypeptides .
- the FMDV genome, the coding region for capsid and non-structural proteins and the processing pathway by which proteins are cleaved is shown schematically in Fig. i (taken from Tesar et al . , Virus Genes, 1989; 3:29-44) .
- FMD is controlled by quarantine and destruction of infected and exposed animals, and by vaccination with chemically inactivated virus compositions.
- a significant difficulty for formulation of these vaccines is the remarkable antigenic diversity of FMDV.
- Seven distinct serotypes have been described: A, 0, C, Asia, and the South African types SAT-1, 2, and 3, each of which can be subdivided into multiple subtypes. Viruses of serotypes A, 0, and Asia are most common. Serotype A viruses are the most variable, having more than 30 subtypes.
- inactivated FMDV vaccines are associated with issues of biosecurity and stability.
- the virus must be produced in a high-containment facility to prevent contamination of the immediate environment. This potential hazard limits qualified vaccine suppliers to a few, limits the available supply of vaccine, and hampers efforts to respond to outbreaks in previously FMDV-free regions of the world.
- the innocuousness of the inactivated virus product cannot be ensured absolutely.
- Several recent cases of the disease in Europe have been traced to incompletely inactivated virus . This hazard discourages use of the vaccines in areas where disease is absent, leaving previously unaffected areas devoid of immune protection .
- a further disadvantage stemming from the complex composition of current FMDV vaccines is that it is difficult to distinguish by serological testing animals that have been vaccinated from animals which have been infected (Lubroth et al., Vaccine, 1996; 14: 419-427) .
- a vaccine based on site-specific immunogens would facilitate the design of immunodiagnostic kits to distinguish vaccine-induced antibodies from antibodies induced by infection, and thus ensure the effectiveness of vaccination programs.
- Attempts to design a defined subunit vaccine for FMDV began with disruption of the virus particle and identification of its constituent proteins as shown in Fig. 1. This results in a considerable loss of immunogenic activity in comparison to intact inactivated virus particles (Brown, 1989) .
- the separated capsid protein now uniformly designated as VP1 had, by itself, the capacity to elicit neutralizing antibodies and immunity from challenge in cattle and swine, although the activity was subtype specific and many orders of magnitude lower than that of the intact inactivated virus. None of the other virus proteins evoked neutralizing activity
- VP1 was mapped for immunogenic sites by Strohmaier et al. (J Gen Virol, 1982; 59:295-306) who tested VP1 cleavage products generated by cyanogen bromide and proteolytic digestion; by Bittle and Lerner (WO 83/03547) who tested synthetic peptides whose ammo acid sequences corresponded to regions of highest variaoility, by Acharya et al. (Nature, 1989, 337:709-711) who identified surface- exposed sites on FMDV by X-ray crystallography, and by Pfaff et al.
- 141-160 region of VP1 also termed the "G-H loop", from FMDV isolates belonging to all seven serotypes have now been shown to elicit protective levels of neutralizing antibody in guinea pigs (Francis et al . , Immunology, 1990; 69:171- 176) .
- This region contains a dominant immunogenic site which also carries the serotype specificity of the virus.
- the initial observations of immunogenicity for these 141-160 VP1 peptides was accomplished using synthetic peptides conjugated to carrier protein KLH (keyhole limpet hemocyanm) , a procedure which negates the advantage of manufacturing a well-defined synthetic immunogen.
- VP1 synthetic immunogens were advanced by DiMarchi and Brook (U.S. Patent No. 4,732,971) who showed that two VP1 sequences from a subtype 0 isolate, joined in a 200-213 Pro-Pro-Ser-141-158-Pro-Cys-Gly chimeric construct, elicited antibody levels which protected cattle against challenge. Nevertheless, the efficacy of this effect was limited by the low immunogenicity of the peptide immunogen.
- An important element for an effective peptide vaccine for FMDV is the selection of a precise sequence from the G-H loop domain of VP1 that is optimal for presentation of the B cell epitope that is responsible for eliciting neutralizing antibodies.
- the frame for the optimal presentation of a domain by a peptide can be affected by a shift as small as a single amino acid position (Moore, Chapter 2 in Synthetic Peptides A User's Guide, ed Grant, WH Freeman and Company: New York, 1992, pp 63-67) .
- Preferred synthetic immunogens comprising the immunodominant G-H loop neutralizing determinant have been disclosed including residues 141-160 (WO 83/0357; Francis et al, 1990), 141-158 (US 4,732,971), 142-158 (Parry et al . WO 91/03255), 137-168 (Morgan and Moore, Am J Vet Res, 1990; 51: 40-45), 138-156 (Taboga et al, J Virol, 1997; 71:2602-2614), and any contiguous sequence of 20 amino acids selected from 130-160 (WO 83/03547) .
- Another important factor affecting immunogenicity of a synthetic peptide for an FMDV vaccine is presentation to the immune system of a T-helper cell epitope appropriate for the host.
- Short synthetic peptides can realize their potential as vaccines only if they contain domains that react with helper T-cell receptors and Class II MHC molecules, in addition to antibody binding sites (Babbitt et al., Nature, 1985; 317:359-361).
- the 141-160 VPl peptide alone is somewhat immunogenic for guinea pigs and mice, pointing to the presence of T-cell epitopes in the sequence which are appropriate for those species .
- Synthetic peptides have been used for "epitope mapping" to identify immunodominant determinants or epitopes on the surface of proteins, for the development of new vaccines, and diagnostics.
- Epitope mapping employs a series of overlapping peptides corresponding to regions on the protein of interest to identify sites which participate in antibody-immunogenic determinant interaction. Most commonly, epitope mapping employs peptides of relatively short length to precisely detect linear determinants.
- a fast method of epitope mapping known as "PEPSCAN” is based on the simultaneous synthesis of hundreds of overlapping peptides, of lengths of 8 to 14 amino acids, coupled to solid supports.
- the coupled peptides are tested for their ability to bind antibodies .
- This approach is effective in localizing linear determinants, but the immunodominant epitopes needed for vaccine development are usually high affinity discontinuous epitopes and are difficult to define by the PEPSCAN method (Meloen et al . , Ann Biol Cl , 1991; 49:231-242) .
- An alternative method relies on a set of nested and overlapping peptides of multiple lengths ranging from 15 to 60 residues. These longer peptides are synthesized by a laborious series of independent solid-phase peptide syntheses, rather than by the rapid and simultaneous PEPSCAN syntheses. The resulting set of nested and overlapping peptides can then be used n antibody binding studies and experimental immunizations to identify long peptides which best present immunodominant determinants, including simple discontinuous epitopes.
- a particular peptide antigen may oe designed to contain multiple positional substitutions organized around a structural framework of invariant residues. This combination maintains the conformation of an lmmunoctommant site and accommodates present and anticipated antigenic variation.
- combinatorial peptides corresponding to hypervariable immunodominant sites of HIV and HCV, have been described as "mixotopes" by Gras-Masse et al. (Peptide Research, 1992; 5:211-216), and as “structured synthetic antigen library” or "SSAL” by Wang et al. (W0 95/11998).
- a "structured synthetic antigen library” or SSAL is composed of an ordered set of related peptide sequences embedded within a larger invariant structural framework capable of maintaining the antigenicity, diagnostic value or therapeutic bioactivity of that site.
- Equation 1 provides a representation of the SSAL amino acid sequence.
- the sequence AA ⁇ 3 to ⁇ A Xj represents the amino acid sequence, from the N-terminus to the C-terminus, of the peptides m the SSAL.
- Each peptide in the library has length x, and x is constant for each library.
- j varies from 1 to n, where n represents the number of different amino acids known (or desired) at the ith position.
- the deliberate introduction or natural occurrence of gaps or insertions, e.g. those in the VPl sequence alignments in Table 1, is accommodated by the synthesis of separate SSALs with different values of x.
- Equation 2 is a mathematical representation of the sum of the relative ratios of amino acids at a given variable position i the SSAL sequence.
- Equation 2 states that at each position i, the sum of the molar fractions of the n individual amino acids is unity.
- the molar fraction of the jth amino acid at position i, [AA 13 ] is selected by the practitioner, based upon (1) the prevalence of AA 1D among the subtype strains of an FMDV serotype as found in nature, and optionally (2) the desire to include similar amino acids in order to anticipate escape mutants.
- the amino acids AA ⁇ will ordinarily be selected from the naturally occurring amino acids, but may include modified amino acids such as ornithine and norleucine and unnatural amino acids such as D-amino acids.
- the sequence of the SSAL is determined by aligning the primary amino acid sequences of a related family of antigens, and identifying the invariant and variant loci within the alignment.
- the invariant loci generally represent the structural framework of the SSAL.
- the degeneracy within the SSAL is determined by the loci within the alignment that harbor different amino acid residues relative to an arbitrary prototype sequence. After determining which amino acids are to be at each invariant position, the degree of degeneracy for the variable positions in the SSAL library is determined from the number of variants that present each alternative amino acid.
- the SSAL is then synthesized with single amino acids at the invariant positions and with the requisite degeneracies at the variant positions.
- the relative ratios of the amino acid residues at the variant positions may be set equal to one another, or they may be represented in unequal proportions.
- the amino acid ratios at one or more variant positions are set to reflect the relative prevalence of each amino acid found in the native sequences .
- the SSAL libraries exemplified in Tables 2 and 3 represent such preferred embodiments, wherein the subscripts represent the relative amounts of the individual residues at each variable position in the SSAL. It should be noted that a large fraction of the peptides present in an SSAL may represent combinations of variable amino acids which have not yet been observed in nature. This feature of an SSAL increases the degree to which protection against FMDV infection by new, emerging strains of FMDV is conferred by the peptide compositions of this invention.
- SUBSTTTUTE SHEET (RULE 26) sequences of the different antigens that are used in the alignment.'
- amino acids not known to exist in nature at a variant locus within the aligned epitopes can optionally be incorporated into the library.
- several or all residues of a specific class of amino acids e.g. hydrophobic, charged, neutral or polar
- the class of amino acids incorporated at a specific locus can be determined by the predominant type of amino acid found at that variant locus within the antigen alignment (WO 95/11998) .
- Promiscuous Th evoke efficient T cell help, and can be combined with B cell epitopes that by themselves are poorly immunogenic to generate potent peptide immunogens.
- Well-designed promiscuous Th/B cell epitope chimeric peptides are capable of eliciting Th responses and resultant antibody responses in most members of a genetically diverse population expressing diverse MHC haplotypes.
- Promiscuous Th can be provided by specific sequences derived from potent immunogens of viral and bacterial origin, including measles virus F protein, hepatitis B virus surface antigen, and Chlamydia trachomatis major outer membrane protein. Many known promiscuous Th have been shown to be effective in potentiating a poorly immunogenic peptide corresponding to the decapeptide hormone LHRH (US 5,759,551) .
- Th epitopes range in size from about 15 to about 50 amino acid residues in length LHRH (US 5,759,551), and often share common structural features and may contain specific landmark sequences.
- a common feature is amphipathic helices, which are alpha-helical structures with hydrophobic amino acid residues dominating one face of the helix and with charged and polar residues dominating the surrounding faces (Cease et al . , Proc Natl Acad Sci USA, 1987; 84:4249-4253).
- Th epitopes frequently contain additional primary amino acid patterns such as a Gly or charged residue followed by two to three hydrophobic residues, followed in turn by a charged or polar residue. This pattern defines what are called Rothbard sequences.
- Th epitopes often obey the 1, 4, 5, 8 rule, where a positively charged residue is followed by hydrophobic residues at the fourth, fifth and eighth positions after the charged residue. Since all of these structures are composed of common hydrophobic, charged and polar ammo acids, each structure can exist simultaneously withm a single Th epitope (Partidos et al., J Gen Virol, 1991; 72:1293-1299). Most, if not all, of the promiscuous T cell epitopes fit at least one of the periodicities described above. These features may be incorporated into the designs of idealized artificial Th sites, including SSAL Th epitopes that can provide degeneracy at positions associated with recognition of diverse MHC molecules and retain invariant positions.
- SSAL1TH1 Lists of variable positions and preferred ammo acids are available for MHC-binding motifs (Meister et al . , Vaccine, 1995; 13:581-591) .
- the degenerate Th epitope described WO 95/11998 as "SSAL1TH1" was modeled after a promiscuous epitope taken from the F protein of measles virus (Partidos et a..., 1991).
- SSAL1TH1 (WO 95/11998) was designed to be used .m tandem with an LHRH target peptide.
- SSAL1TH1 follows the Rothbard sequence and the 1, 4, 5, 8 rule.
- SUBSTTTUTE SHEET (RULE 26) the Th .
- the hydrophobic face of the amphipathic helix is then maintained by hydrophobic residues at 2, 5, 8, 9, 10, 13 and 16, with variability at 2, 5, 8, 9, 10, 13 and 16 to provide a facade with the capability of binding to a wide range of MHC restriction elements.
- the net effect of the SSAL feature is to enlarge the range of immune responsiveness to an artificial Th (WO 95/11998) . All variants withm such an SSAL are produced simultaneously in a single solid-phase peptide synthesis in tandem with the targeted B cell epitope and other sequences.
- Peptide immunogens are generally more flexible than proteins and tend not to retain any preferred structure. Therefore it can be useful to stabilize a peptide immunogen oy the introduction of cyclic constraints.
- a correctly cyclized peptide immunogen can mimic and preserve the conformation of the targeted epitope and thereby evoke antibodies with -reactivities on that site on the authentic molecule (Moore, Chapter 2 m Synthetic Peptides A User's Guide, ed Grant, WH Freeman and Company: New ⁇ ork, 1992, pp 63-67) .
- Peptides having more immunologically effective conformations are provided by the present invention. These have been obtained by discovering those positions for the cysteine residues that result in a more accurate imitation of the native epitope (Valero et al. Biomedical Peptides, Proteins and Nucleic Acids, 1995; 1:133-140).
- the present invention provides peptide immunogens that have been designed with the peptide technologies and
- SUBSTTTUTE SHEET (RULE 26) peptide design elements discussed above, i.e., precise epitope mapping, SSAL library peptides, design of potent Th epitopes, and cyclic constraint. These peptide immunogens are the basis for effective synthetic FMDV vaccines. Such peptides are preferred for their presentation of the VPl neutralizing site with optimized positioning and conformational constraint, for their presentation of the broad range of sequences necessitated by FMDV serotype variation, and for their broadly reactive Th responsiveness.
- the present invention further provides for the use of such peptide compositions as an immunogen, with each peptide contained therein comprising a target antigenic site derived from the VPl capsid protein of Foot-and-Mouth Disease Virus (FMDV), preferably with said antigenic site covalently linked to a helper T cell epitope and, optionally, other immunostimulatory sequences, preferably by conventional peptide bond(s) through direct synthesis, for the prevention of FMDV infection and eradication of FMD.
- FMDV Foot-and-Mouth Disease Virus
- the present invention relates to the use of such peptide composition as an immunogen to elicit the production in animals including swine, cattle, sheep, goats, and FMDV-susceptible wild species, of high titer polyclonal antibodies that can effectively neutralize, in vitro, multiple strains or serotypes of FMDV, and to the use of such composition as a vaccine to effectively prevent, and/or reduce the incidence of FMDV infection regardless of its antigenic diversity, and thus cause the eradication of FMD.
- the present invention also relates to the peptides used in the compositions, and to immunoassays and/or diagnostic kits containing one or more of these peptides, or segments thereof.
- the target antigenic sites of the present invention were selected through epitope mapping based on the amino acid sequence information derived from the VPl protein of FMDV A12 strain and represent a frame for the optimal presentation of the neutralizing determinant on the FMDV VPl protein, amino acids 134 to 168. These residues appear as amino acids "134-169" in Table 1 (SEQ ID N0:1), due to the presence of a gap at position 142 which is introduced for purposes of alignment. They will be referred to in the text as amino acids 134-169 as a matter of convenience, but it will be understood that residues 134-168 (SEQ ID N0:1) is the actual fragment under discussion.
- the target antigenic sites of the present invention are preferably modified from that of the naturally occurring FMDV VPl sequences of the G-H loop region by the substitution of cysteine for two native amino acids, and the formation of a disulfide bond between these cysteines so as to produce a cyclic structure having from about 20 to about 25 residues between the cysteines (e.g., SEQ ID N0:2).
- Corresponding target sites for VPl of other serotypes can be derived from the homologous G-H loop region segment of the relevant serotypes.
- the present invention further provides FMDV VPl target antigenic sites with consensus sequences according to the optimized frame of SEQ ID NO:l with highly variable positions embedded within an invariant structural framework, wherein the most frequently employed amino acid for each of the highly variable positions is represented, as determined by analyses of the VPl sequences from a group of FMDV subtypes related to a specific FMDV serotype.

- Specific examples are provided as embodiments of peptides of the invention, e.g., SEQ ID NOS: 2,11.
- Further examples are provided as preferred peptides of the invention which provide for the linkage of synthetic immunostimulatory elements to the FMDV VPl antigenic sites (e.g., SEQ ID NOS:27-34 in Tables 7-10) such that broadly reactive potent neutralizing antibodies are generated, in a genetically diverse host population, against the targeted site on the FMDV VPl protein.
- These anti-VPl antibodies lead to effective neutralization of FMDV and thus protection from FMDV infection.
- the term "immunogen” referred to herein relates to a peptide composition which is capable of inducing antibodies against a G-H loop site present on the VPl protein of FMDV, leading to effective neutralization of FMDV of multiple serotypes and thus prevention of FMDV infection.
- the peptide composition of the present invention preferably includes synthetic peptides which contain promiscuous helper T cell epitopes (Th epitopes) and optionally other immunostimulatory elements.
- the Th peptides are covalently attached to the FMDV VPl target antigenic site (e.g., SEQ ID NOS : 1-21, 35) , with a spacer (e.g., Gly-Gly), so as to be adjacent to either the N- or C-terminus of the target antigenic site, in order to evoke effective antibody responses.

When present, the general immunostimulatory domain may include a spacer for attachment through a peptide.

- X is an ammo acid ⁇ -COOH or ⁇ -CONH 2 ;
- the peptide immunogen of the present invention comprises from about 35 to about 100 ammo acio residues, preferably from about ⁇ 5 to about 90 ammo acid residues and more preferably from about 50 to about 75 amino acid residues .
- H can be any non- naturally occurring or any naturally occurring ammo acid.
- Non-naturally occurring ammo acids include, but are not limited to, ⁇ -alanme, ornithme, norleucme, norvalme, hydroxyproline, thyroxine, ⁇ -ammo butyric acid, homoserine, citrulline and the like.
- Naturally-occurring am o acids include alanine, arginine, asparagine, aspartic acid, cysteine, glutamic acid, glutamme, glycine, histidme, lsoleucme, leucme, lysine, methionme, phenylalanme, prolme, serme, threonme, tryptophan, tyrosme and valme.
- m is greater than one, and two or more of the A groups are ammo acids, then each ammo acid may be independently the same or different.
- A When A is an invasin domain, it is an immune stimulatory epitope from the invasin protein of a Yersinia species. This immune stimulatory property results from the capability of this invasin domain to interact with the ⁇ l integrin molecules present on T cells, particularly activated immune or memory T cells.
- the specific sequence for an invasin domain found to interact with the ⁇ l integrins has been described by Brett et al. (Eur J Immunol, 1993) .
- a preferred embodiment of the invasin domain (Inv) for linkage to a promiscuous Th epitope has been previously described in US 5,759,551, which is incorporated herein by reference.
- the preferred Inv domain has the sequence Thr- Ala-Lys-Ser-Lys-Lys-Phe-Pro-Ser-Tyr-Thr-Ala-Thr-Tyr-Gln-Phe (SEQ ID NO:22), or is an immunostimulatory homologue thereof from the corresponding region in another Yersinia species .
- Such homologues thus may contain substitutions, deletions or insertions of amino acid residues to accommodate strain to strain variation, provided that the homologues retain immunostimulatory properties.
- n preferably includes a spacer, e.g., Gly-Gly, through which the Inv domain is linked to the peptide.
- (A) 3 is an invasin domain (Inv), glycine and glycine, in that order, i.e., ( Inv) -Gly-Gly .

- the Gly-Gly spacer can disrupt any artifactual secondary structures created by the joining of the Th epitope with the FMDV VPl antigenic and thereby eliminate interference between the Th and/or B cell responses.
- the amino acids of B can also form a spacer which acts- as a flexible hinge that enhances separation of the Th and FMDV VPl target antigenic site. Examples of sequences encoding flexible hinges are found in the immunoglobulin heavy chain hinge region. Flexible hinge sequences are often proline rich. One particularly useful flexible hinge is provided by the sequence Pro-Pro-Xaa-Pro- Xaa-Pro (SEQ ID NO:23), where Xaa is any amino acid, and preferably aspartic acid.
- Th is a sequence of amino acids (natural or non- natural amino acids) that comprises a Th epitope.
- a Th epitope can consist of a continuous or discontinuous epitope. Hence not every amino acid of Th is necessarily part of the epitope. Accordingly, Th epitopes, including analogs and segments of Th epitopes, are capable of enhancing or stimulating an immune response to the FMDV VPl antigenic site (e.g., SEQ ID NOS:l-21,35) and immunologically functional analogs thereof.

- FMDV VPl antigenic site also refers to peptides having a consensus sequence derived from the ammo acid sequence of the VPl protein of FMDV strains of serotypes A, 0 or Asia, corresponding to am o acids 134- 168 of the VPl protein of FMDV A12 strain; and peptides meeting the generic definitions of SEQ ID NOS: 14, 16, 18, and 20.

- the conservative substitutions, additions, and insertions can be accomplished with natural or non-natural ammo acids as defined herein.
- the target antigenic sites are preferably modified from that of the naturally occurring FMDV VPl sequences of the G-H loop region by the substitutions for the native asparagine at position 134 and glutamme at position 157 by cysteines, and the formation of a disulfide bond between these cysteines so as to produce a cyclic structure (SEQ ID N0:2) .

Modifications from native sequences are indicated by (N ⁇ C) , (Q ⁇ C) , (R ⁇ C) and by underlined ammo acids, in Table 1.
- Peptide sequences containing introduced cysteines may be provided as SSALs, e.g. SEQ ID NOS: 15, 17, and 19, and these SSALs may be used as FMDV VPl antigenic sites as well.
