Definitions
- Vaccines containing recombinant hantavirus proteins processes for their preparation and their use
- the invention relates to vaccines against hantaviruses, processes for their preparation and their use. Areas of application are medicine and veterinary medicine.
- the invention is intended to enable the highly efficient production of non-infectious, endotoxin-free recombinant hantavirus proteins which are suitable for human use as a vaccine.
- Hantaviruses are counted among the "emerging viruses" because of their increasing importance as pathogens. They are the causative agent of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome, HFRS, (Schmaljohn et al., 1985, Science 227, 1041-1044), which occurs in Europe and Asia, and Hantaviral Pulmonalen, which appeared in America in the early 1990s and was associated with high mortality Syndrome, HPS (Nichol et al., 1993, Science 262, 914-917).
- HFRS The clinical picture summarized as HFRS (list of abbreviations behind the examples) is caused by different serotypes: infections with the serotypes Hantaan (HTNV) and Dobrava (DOBV) cause the most severe disease, while infections with the serotypes Seoul (SEOV) and Puumala (PUUV) milder show clinical courses.
- HTNV Hantaan
- DOBV Dobrava
- SEOV Dobrava
- PUUV Puumala
- RNA genome of negative polarity is composed of 3 segments that encode the viral RNA polymerase, the glycoproteins Gl and G2 and the nucleocapsid protein (N). Because of the endemic spread of hantaviruses in Asia, various inactivated hantavirus vaccines have been produced and tested in China, South and North Korea as well as in Japan (overview in Schmaljohn, 1994, Rev. Med. Virol. 4, 185-196).
- VACV vaccinia virus
- a recombinant HTNV-VACV vaccine showed the immunogenicity and safety of the vaccine in a phase I clinical study.
- a phase II study showed the induction of virus-neutralizing antibodies in% of VACV-naive volunteers, but only about 1 ⁇ of the VACV-immune volunteers (McClain et al., 2000, J. Med. Virol. 60 , 77-85).
- Sindbis virus-derived constructs were tested, which, however, showed significantly less protection than DNA vaccine constructs (Kamrud et al., 1999).
- recombinant proteins offer clear advantages in terms of safety (no infectivity, no integration).
- Heterologous expression systems such as E. coli and insect cells, were able to produce recombinant hantavirus proteins which induced a protective immune response in animal models (Schmaljohn et al., 1990, J. Virol. 64, 3162-3170; Yoshimatsu et al, 1993, Arch Virol.
- McClain filed patent applications in the USA which relate to hantavirus proteins or to vaccines, in particular to the glycoproteins Gl and G2: US Pat. No. 5,298,423 and 5,614,193.
- ST Nichol, CFSpiropoulou, TG Ksiazek and PE Rollin protect the detection of the Hantavirus "Four Corners Virus” (US 5945277, WO 9500648), 1995 from this group PE Rollin, L. Elliot, TG Ksiazek and ST Nichol the detection of the "Black Creek Canal Hantavirus” (US 5853980).
- the invention has for its object to develop new hantavirus vaccines that are safe for human applications.
- the object was achieved in that with the aid of a yeast expression system which allows the high expression of hantavirus proteins, recombinant hantavirus proteins are isolated in large quantities from yeast cells and purified by simple centrifugation steps and / or by affinity chromatography.
- the proteins obtained according to the invention have proven to be endotoxin-free and harmless for human applications.
- the invention relates to the PCR amplification and cloning of hantavirus protein-coding sequences. These DNA sequences are built into yeast expression vectors with a yeast-specific expression unit (promoter and transcription stop signal).
- the hantavirus proteins are expressed in yeast cells, preferably in Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain fh4c (ATCC # 42368; Colona and Lampen, 1974, Biochemistry 13, 2741-2748). After the yeast cells have been digested with the aid of glass beads, the authentic hantavirus proteins are purified by two successive cesium chloride density centrifugations, hexahistidine-bearing hantavirus proteins by enrichment of the insoluble protein and subsequent nickel chelate chromatography. The subsequent analysis of the recombinant proteins is carried out by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and subsequent silver staining of the gel or immunoblot with hantavirus-specific antibodies.
- Protectivity of the proteins is provided by immunization of rubella, the natural host of PUUV, and subsequent PUUV exposure (challenge). Protection is provided on the basis of a lack of anti-G2 antibodies in the serum, a lack of N antigen in the lungs and a lack of RNA detection using S-segment-specific PCR.
- the invention makes a new expression system for hantavirus proteins available which has significant advantages over the previous systems in E. coli or insect cells.
- yeast expression systems allow simple and inexpensive biotechnological production of antigens.
- yeasts have no toxins that would cause undesirable side effects in human medical applications.
- yeast systems are already approved for human vaccine production:
- the recombinant HBV vaccine is based on yeast-expressed HBsAg. It is particularly surprising that the yeast cells synthesize the hantavirus proteins in large quantities.
- the recombinant proteins can be isolated and purified in large quantities by simple methods after the lysis of the yeast cells.
- the proteins according to the invention are endotoxin-free and suitable for human applications as vaccines and in the development of diagnostics.
- the essence of the invention is the provision of hantavirus vaccines which contain recombinant hantavirus proteins as active components, the proteins in turn being produced in yeast cells.
- active components they contain nucleocapsid proteins and / or glycoproteins from Hantaviruses, such as the Hantavirus serotypes Puumala, Dobrava and / or Hantaan, in particular the Hantavirus strains Puumala-Vranica / Hällnäs, Dobrava-Slovakia and / or Hantaan-Fojnica.
- Saccharomyces cerevisiae are used as yeast cells, in particular the fl ⁇ 4c strain.
- a special feature of the method according to the invention is that a yeast expression plasmid is used which carries a yeast-specific GALIO-PYKI hybrid promoter and the FDHl gene from Candida maltosa as the dominant selection marker.
- the yeast cells are grown in YEPD medium (1% yeast extract, 2% peptone, 2% glucose) with 5 mM formaldehyde, after which the synthesis of the hantavirus proteins is induced by adding galactose (final concentration 3%). The yeast cells are disrupted by glass beads.
- the recombinant hantavirus proteins are purified by two successive cesium chloride density gradient centrifugations or by enrichment of the insoluble proteins and subsequent nickel chelate affinity chromatography.
- the uses according to the invention of the recombinant hantavirus proteins lie in their use as effective components in hantavirus vaccines and in the development of diagnostics based on the ELISA and / or immunoblot principle.
- the features of the invention also emerge from the description, the individual features representing advantageous protective designs, individually or in combination in the form of combinations, for which protection is requested with this document.
- the combination consists of known (hantavirus proteins, centrifugation, affinity chromatography) and new elements (a novel expression system for hantavirus proteins), which mutually influence each other and, in their new overall effect, result in an advantage in use and the desired success, which lies in the fact that now recombinant hantavirus proteins isolated in large quantities from yeast cells, cleaned by simple work steps (centrifugation, chromatography) and made available to the user.
- hantavirus proteins are used as effective components in hantavirus vaccines.
- the use of a vaccine made from recombinant hantavirus proteins lies in Induction of protective immunity, for example by immunization with PUUV-His-N protein using aluminum hydroxide as an adjuvant.
- the invention further consists in the use of a yeast high expression system which allows the production of large amounts of recombinant hantavirus proteins.
- the recombinant proteins are purified by density gradient centrifugation or affinity chromatography. By extracting the proteins from yeast cells, they are endotoxin-free and suitable for human applications as vaccines and in the development of diagnostics.
- N-proteins are PCR-amplified according to standard methods using the primers named below carry a J-b ⁇ l restriction site:
- the PCR products obtained are inserted into the cloning vectors pUC57 (Fermentas, Vilnius, Lithuania), pCRII (Invitrogen, Groningen, the Netherlands) and pCR-Blunt II-TOPO (Invitrogen).
- the nucleotide sequences of the hantavirus inserts of the plasmids pUC57-VranicaN, pCRII-Slovakia N and pCR-Blunt II-TOPO-Fojnica N are verified by DNA sequencing (FIGS. 1-3).
- Reverse primer GC TCT AGA ACA TTA AAG CTT AAG CGG CTC CTG
- the His-PUUV and His-DOBV-PCR amplificates are inserted into the pCR-Blunt II-TOPO vector, the His-HTNV amplificate into the vector pUC57.
- the complete coding sequence of pCR-Blunt II-TOPO-His-Vranica N is verified by DNA sequencing.
- only the coding sequences for the N-termini of the N-proteins are determined, and the parts coding for the C-terminus are separated by corresponding fragments from the plasmids pCRII-Slovakia N and pCR-Blunt II-TOPO-Fojnica N. replaced ( Figures 1 to 3).
- the yeast expression plasmid preferably pFX7 (Scherneck, Sasnauskas and Ulrich, disclosure slip DE 19750220A1, PCT / DE98 / 03329; Sasnauskas et al., 1999, Biol. Chem. 380, 381-386; see FIG. 4), contains a yeast-specific GALIO -PYKI hybrid promoter, - a transcription termination sequence (from PGK1), a 2 ⁇ m DNA fragment,

- glass beads diameter 0.5 mm
- the lysates are centrifuged for 5 minutes at 2000x g.
- Insoluble proteins are sedimented by centrifugation at 10 OOOxg for 40 minutes (4 ° C). Since the recombinant hantavirus N proteins are found almost exclusively in the sediment, the supernatant is discarded.
- contaminating cellular proteins are extracted twice by resuspending the pellet in 10 ml extraction buffer (20 mM PBS, pH 7.6; 2 mM EDTA; 1 mM PMSF; 1% Tween 20), shaking for 1 hour at 4 ° C and centrifugation at 10 OOOxg for 30 minutes (4 ° C).
