Definitions
- the present invention relates to fusion molecules of antigens, the nucleic acids coding therefor and the use of such fusion molecules and nucleic acids.
- the invention provides fusion molecules, or comprise an antigen and 'the transmembrane region and cytoplasmic region of an MHC Mo ⁇ eküls the cytoplasmic region of an MHC molecule or a SNARE relates.
- Fusion molecules of the invention are useful in a variety of applications, including in methods of inducing an immune response in a mammal.
- Antigen-specific T cell responses are mediated by antigenic peptides attached to the binding pit of glycoproteins of the major
- MHC Histocompatibility complex
- MHC class II molecules are heterodimeric glycoproteins composed of ⁇ and ⁇ chains. The ⁇ 1 and ⁇ 1 domains of these molecules fold together to form a peptide binding groove. Antigenic peptides bind to the MHC molecule through interaction between anchor amino acids on the peptide and the ⁇ 1 and ⁇ 1 domains.
- the crystal structure of the human class II HLA-DR1 complex with an influenza virus peptide shows that the N- and C-terminal ends of the bound peptide extend from the binding groove such that the C-terminus of the peptide is close to the N-terminus of the ⁇ -peptide.
- MHC class I molecules have domain organizations other than MHC class II molecules, but generally have a similar structure with a peptide binding site or trenches remote to the membrane domains [cf. eg Rudensk, AY et al., 1991, Nature 353: 622-627].
- the initial step in the presentation of a foreign protein antigen is the binding of the native antigen to an antigen presenting cell (APC).
- APC antigen presenting cell
- antigens Upon binding to APCs, antigens enter the cells, either by phagocytosis, receptor-mediated endocytosis or pinocytosis.
- Such internalized antigens are located in intracellular membrane-bound vesicles called endosomes.
- the antigens After an endosome-lysosome fusion, the antigens are processed into small peptides by cellular proteases located in the lysosomes. The peptides associate with the ⁇ and ⁇ chains of MHC class II molecules within these lysosomes.
- MHC class II molecules previously synthesized in the rough endoplasmic reticulum, are sequentially transported to the Golgi complexes and then to the lysosomal compartment.
- the peptide-MHC complex is presented on the surface of APCs for T and B cell activation. Therefore, the accessibility of proteolytic processing sites in the antigen, the stability of the resulting peptides in the lysosomes and the affinities of the peptides for MHC molecules are factors determining the immunogenicity of a specific epitope.
- Recombinant vaccines are of particular importance in human and veterinary medicine as active ingredients and medicaments for the prophylaxis and therapy of infectious and cancerous diseases.
- Target of vaccination with A recombinant vaccine is to induce against a defined antigen a specific immune response that is preventive or therapeutically effective against defined diseases.
- recombinant vaccines An important factor in the effectiveness of a recombinant vaccine is the optimal stimulation of T lymphocytes of the immunized organism. For example, a series of animal studies has shown that the optimal stimulation of both CD8 + and CD4 + lymphocytes is necessary for effective immunotherapy of tumors.
- the known major forms of recombinant vaccines are based on recombinant proteins, synthetic peptide fragments, recombinant viruses and nucleic acid vaccines based on DNA or RNA. In recent years, vaccines based on DNA and RNA nucleic acid have become increasingly important. However, for very many targets, including tumor antigens, recombinant nucleic acid-based vaccines can achieve very poor to no stimulation of CD4 + lymphocytes.
- vaccines that significantly increase antigen presentation and thus immunogenicity to a particular antigen. It would further be desirable to be able to systematically modify vaccines such that maximum immune response results from CD4 + and CD8 + lymphocytes without having to introduce foreign epitopes.

- co-stimulatory molecules are, for example, B7-1 and B7-2 (CD80 or CD86), which are expressed on dendritic cells (DC) and interact with the CD28 molecule expressed on the T cells.
- This interaction provides co-stimulation (signal 2) for an antigen / MHC / TCR-stimulated (signal 1) T cell, thereby enhancing T cell proliferation and effector function.
- B7 also interacts with CTLA4 (CD 152) on T cells and studies involving CTLA4 and B7 ligands, show that B7-CTLA4 interaction can enhance anti-tumor immunity and CTL proliferation (Zheng, P. et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. See U.S.A. 95 (II): 6284-6289 (1998)).
- B7 is typically not expressed on tumor cells, so they are not effective antigen presenting cells (APCs) for T cells. Induction of B7 expression would allow tumor cells to more effectively stimulate proliferation of cytotoxic T lymphocytes and effector function.

Immunol., 154: 5637-5648 (1995)).

Nature 393: 474 (1998), Bennett et al., Nature 393: 478 (1998), Schonberger et al., Nature 393: 480 (1998)).
- the mechanism of this co-stimulatory signal is probably related to the enhancement of B7 and associated IL-6 / IL-12 production by the dendritic cells (antigen presenting cells).
