Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for vaccinating subjects against infection with Streptococcus pneumoniae. More specifically, the present invention provides a vaccination method based on the use of immunogenic S. pneumoniae cell wall and cell membrane proteins, as well as vaccine compositions comprising said proteins.
- Streptococcus pneumoniae is a major cause of disease, suffering and death worldwide. Diseases caused by infection with this agent include otitis media, pneumonia, bacteremia, meningitis and sepsis. In some cases, infected individuals may become asymptomatic carriers of S . pneumoniae, thereby readily allowing the rapid spread of this infective agent throughout the population. In view of the serious consequences of infection with S . pneumoniae, as well as its rapid spread within and between populations, there is an urgent need for safe, effective vaccination regimes.
- compositions comprising capsular polysaccharides that have been conjugated with various carrier or adjuvant proteins have been used.
- vaccines of this type constitute an improvement in relation to the unconjugated polysaccharide vaccines, they have not overcome the problem of coverage, since they are effective against only about 10 % of the 92 known capsular serotypes. Consequently, upon vaccination, repopulation with serotypes not present in the vaccine occurs.
- vaccines comprising immunogenic virulence ' proteins are currently being developed.
- Such protein-based vaccines should be of particular value in the case of vulnerable subjects such as very young children, in view of the fact that such subjects are able to produce antibodies against foreign proteins.
- Unfortunately very little is known of the molecular details of the life cycle of S. pneumoniae, or of the nature of role of the various virulence factors which are known or thought to be involved in targeting and infection of susceptible hosts . It is a purpose of the present invention to provide a method for protecting individuals against infection with S. pneumoniae by the use of a protein-based vaccine.
- the present invention is primarily directed to a method for preventing infection of mammalian subjects with S. pneumoniae, wherein said method comprises administering to a subject in need of such treatment an effective amount of one or more S. pneumoniae cell wall and/or cell membrane proteins, wherein said proteins are selected from the group consisting of: phosphoenolpyruvate protein phosphotransferase, phospho- mannomutase, trigger factor, elongation factor G, tetracycline resistance protein (tetO) , DNA directed RNA polymerase alpha-chain, NADH oxidase, glutamyl-tRNA amidotransferase subunit A, N utilization substance protein A homolog, XAA-HIS dipeptidase, cell division protein ftsz, zinc metalloproteinase in SCAA 5' region (ORF 6) , L-lactate dehydrogenase, glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH)

- age-related immune response indicates that the ability of subjects to produce antibodies to the protein or proteins causing said immune response increases with age. In the case of human subjects, said ability is measured over a time scale beginning with neonates and ending at approximately age four years and adults. In non-human mammalian subjects, the "age-related immune response” is measured over an age range extending from neonates to an age at which the immune system of the young mammal is at a stage of development comparable to that of a pre-puberty human child and adults.

- Vaccination protects individuals (and by extension, populations) from the harmful effects of pathogenic agents, such as bacteria, by inducing a specific immunological response to said pathogenic agents in the vaccinated subject.
- Vaccines are generally, but not exclusively, administered by means of injection, generally by way of the intramuscular, intradermal or subcutaneous routes . Some vaccines may also be administered by the intravenous, intraperitoneal, nasal or oral routes.
- the S. pneumoniae-protein containing preparations of the invention can be administered as either single or multiple doses of an effective amount of said protein.
- the term "effective amount" is used herein to indicate that the vaccine is administered in an amount sufficient to induce or boost a specific immune response, such that measurable amounts (or an increase in the measurable amounts) of one or more antibodies directed against the S. pneumoniae proteins used, may be detected in the serum or plasma of the vaccinated subject.
- the precise weight of protein or proteins that constitutes an "effective amount” will depend upon many factors including the age, weight and physical condition of the subject to be vaccinated. The precise quantity also depends upon the capacity of the subject's immune system to produce antibodies, and the degree of protection desired.
- Effective dosages can be readily established by one of ordinary skill in the art through routine trials establishing dose response curves. However, for the purposes of the present invention, effective amounts of the compositions of the invention can vary from 0.01- 1,000 ⁇ g/ml per dose, more preferably 0.1-500 ⁇ g/ml per dose, wherein the usual dose size is 1 ml .

- the present invention also encompasses within its scope the preparation and use of DNA vaccines.
- Vaccination methods and compositions of this type are well, known in the art and are comprehensively described in many different articles, monographs and books (see, for example, chapter 11 of "Molecular Biotechnology: principles and applications of recombinant DNA” eds . B.R. Glick & J.J. Pasternak, ASM Press, Washington, D.C., 2 nd edition, 1998).
- DNA vaccination is achieved by cloning the cDNAs for the desired immunogen into a suitable DNA vaccine vector, such as the pVAC vector (Invivogen) .
- the desired immunogenic proteins are targeted and anchored to the cell surface by cloning the gene of interest in frame between the IL2 signal sequence and the C-terminal transmembrane anchoring domain of human placental alkaline phosphatase.
- DNA vaccine vectors are specifically designed to stimulate humoral immune responses by intramuscular injection.

- the vaccine compositions of the invention can also include adjuvants, wetting agents, emulsifying and suspending agents, _ or sweetening, flavoring, or perfuming agents.
- adjuvants are substances that can be used to augment a specific immune response. Normally, the adjuvant and the composition are mixed prior to presentation to the immune system, or presented separately, but into the same site of the subject being vaccinated.
- adjuvants that may be usefully employed in the preparation of vaccines include: oil adjuvants (for example, Freund's complete and incomplete adjuvants, that will be used in animal experiments only and is forbidden from use in humans), mineral salts, alum, silica, kaolin, and carbon, polynucleotides and certain natural substances of microbial origin.
- An additional mode of antigen delivery may include an encapsulation technique, which involves complex coacervation of gelatin and chondroitin sulfate (Azhari R, Leong K W. 1991.

Creighton, IRL Press, Oxford, UK (1989) .
- the S. pneumoniae proteins of the present invention may therefore be more conveniently prepared by means of recombinant biotechnological means, whereby the gene for the S. pneumoniae protein of interest is isolated and inserted into an appropriate expression vector system (such as a plasmid or phage) , which is then introduced into a host cell that will permit large-scale production of said protein by means of, for example, overexpression.
- an appropriate expression vector system such as a plasmid or phage
- the location of the genes of interest within the S . pneumoniae genome may be determined by reference to a complete-genome database such as the TIGR database that is maintained by the Institute for Genomic Research (web site: http://www.tigr.org/) .
- the selected sequence may, where appropriate, be isolated directly by the use of appropriate restriction endonucleases, or more effectively by means of PCR amplification. Suitable techniques are described in, for example, US patent Nos . 4,683,195, 4,683,202, 4,800,159, 4,965,188, as well as in Innis e al . eds . , PCR Protocols : A guide to method and applica tions .

- the recombinant protein will then need to be isolated from the cell membrane, interior, inclusion body or (in the case of secreted proteins) the culture medium, by one of the many methods known in the art.
- the bacterial strain used in this study was an S. pneumoniae serotype 3 strain.
- the bacteria were plated onto tryptic soy agar supplemented with 5% sheep erythrocytes and incubated for 17-18 hours at 37 °C under anaerobic conditions.
- the bacterial cells were then transferred to Todd-Hewitt broth supplemented with 0-5% yeast extract and grown to mid-late log phase. Bacteria were harvested and the pellets were stored at -70°C.

- the immunogenicity of recombinant S. pneumoniae aldolase and GAPDH proteins was assessed by Western blot assay using serum of mice that had been immunized with either total cell wall proteins (CW-T) or with one of the recombinant proteins (as described hereinabove) .
- the results obtained indicate that the sera of the immunized animals recognized both recombinant GAPDH and aldolase proteins, and the native GAPDH and aldolase proteins present in the CW-T mixture.
- mice were challenged intranasally with a lethal dose of IO 8 CFU of S. pneumoniae serotype 3. None of the control animals (immunization with either CFA or alum only) survived the bacterial challenge. However, 36% of the animals immunized with the recombinant aldolase protein, in CFA and 36% of the animals immunized with the same proteins in alum survived the challenge. Following immunization with the pVAC-aldolase construct, 20% of the animals * survived.
