Definitions
Adjuvant: As used herein, the term "adjuvant" refers to an immunological adjuvant. By this is meant a compound that is able to enhance or facilitate the immune system's response to the ingredient in question, thereby inducing an immune response or series of immune responses in the subject. The adjuvant can facilitate the effect of the therapeutic composition by forming depots (prolonging the half-life of the ingredient), provide additional T-cell help and stimulate cytokine production. Facilitation of antigen survival and unspecific stimulation by adjuvants may, in some cases, be required if the antigenic molecule epitopes or functional molecules of the pharmamer are only weakly antigenic or only exerts weak to moderate interactions with compounds, molecules, or cells of the immune system.
Antibodies: As used herein, the term "antibody" means an isolated or recombinant binding agent that comprises the necessary variable region sequences to specifically bind an antigenic epitope. Therefore, an antibody is any form of antibody or fragment thereof that exhibits the desired biological activity, e.g., binding the specific target antigen. Antibodies can derive from multiple species. For example, antibodies include rodent (such as mouse and rat), rabbit, sheep, camel, and human antibodies. Antibodies can also include chimeric antibodies, which join variable regions from one species to constant regions from another species. Likewise, antibodies can be humanized, that is constructed by recombinant DNA technology to produce immunoglobulins which have human framework regions from one species combined with complementarity determining regions (CDR's) from a another species' immunoglobulin. The antibody can be monoclonal or polyclonal. Antibodies can be divided into isotypes (IgA, IgG, IgM, IgD, IgE, IgGI , lgG2, lgG3, lgG4, IgAI , lgA2, IgMI , lgM2). In another embodiment the term "antibody" refers to an intact antibody, or a fragment of an antibody that competes with the intact antibody for antigen binding. In certain embodiments, antibody fragments are produced by recombinant DNA techniques. In certain embodiments, antibody fragments are produced by enzymatic or chemical cleavage of intact antibodies. Exemplary antibody fragments include, but are not limited to, Fab, Fab', F(ab')2, Fv, and scFv. Exemplary antibody fragments also include, but are not limited to, domain antibodies, nanobodies, minibodies ((scFv- CH3)2), maxibodies ((scFv-CH2-CH3)2), diabodies (noncovalent dimer of scFv).
Antigen presenting cell: An antigen-presenting cell (APC) as used herein is a cell that displays foreign antigen complexed with MHC on its surface.
Antigenic peptide: Any peptide molecule that is bound to or able to bind into the binding groove of either MHC I or MHC Il molecules.
Avidin: Avidin as used herein is a glycoprotein found in the egg white and tissues of birds, reptiles and amphibians. It contains four identical subunits having a combined mass of 67,000-68,000 daltons. Each subunit consists of 128 amino acids and binds one molecule of biotin. Biologically active molecules: Any molecule having biological activity. Biologically active molecules of the present invention may be attached to pharmamers, adjuvants, other biologically active molecules and/or vaccine enhancers by covalent or non- covalent interaction or they may be individual component(s) of the composition.
Biologically active molecules in a pharmamer affect the binding characteristics and/or the effects of the pharmamer.
Biotin: Biotin, as used herein, is also known as vitamin H or B7. Biotin has the chemical formula Ci0H16N2O3S.
Covalent binding: The term covalent binding is used herein to describe a form of chemical bonding that is characterized by the sharing of pairs of electrons between atoms. Attraction-to-repulsion stability that forms between atoms when they share electrons is known as covalent bonding.
Crosslinking: Crosslinking is the process of chemically joining two or more molecules by a covalent bond. Crosslinking reagents contain reactive ends to specific functional groups (primary amines, sulfhydryls, etc.) on proteins or other molecules.
Dendritic cell: The term dendritic cell as used herein is a type of immune cells. Their main function is to process antigen material and present it on the surface to other cells of the immune system, thus functioning as antigen-presenting cells.
Immunologically active molecules: Immunologically active molecule is used interchangeably herein with immuno active molecule and is any molecule that as an active part of the pharmamer, pharmamer composition, vaccine or therapeutics is modulating the immuno-activity of the pharmamer, pharmamer composition, vaccine or therapeutics itself or the immune system as such.
Carrier: A carrier as used herein can be any type of molecule that is directly or indirectly associated with a biologically active molecule. A carrier may link biologically active molecules to multimerisation domains and/or be a multimerisation domain itself. Dextran: the term dextran as used herein is is a complex, branched polysaccharide made of many glucose molecules joined into chains of varying lengths. The straight chain consists of α1 ->6 glycosidic linkages between glucose molecules, while branches begin from α1 ->3 linkages (and in some cases, α1 ->2 and α1 ->4 linkages as well).
Linker molecule: Linker molecule and linker is used interchangeable herein. A linker molecule is a molecule that covalently or non-covalently connects two or more molecules, thereby creating a larger complex consisting of all molecules including the linker molecule.
Liposomes: The term liposome as used herein is defined as a spherical vesicle with a membrane composed of a phospholipid and cholesterol bilayer. Liposomes, usually but not by definition, contain a core of aqueous solution; lipid spheres that contain no aqueous material are called micelles.
MHC: Denotes the major histocompatibility complex.
A "MHC Class I molecule" as used everywhere herein is defined as a molecule which comprises 1 -3 subunits, including a heavy chain, a heavy chain combined with a light chain (beta2m), a heavy chain combined with a light chain (beta2m) through a flexible linker, a heavy chain combined with a peptide, a heavy chain combined with a peptide through a flexible linker, a heavy chain/beta2m dimer combined with a peptide, and a heavy chain/beta2m dimer with a peptide through a flexible linker to the heavy or light chain. The MHC molecule chain can be changed by substitution of single or by cohorts of native amino acids or by inserts, or deletions to enhance or impair the functions attributed to said molecule. By example, it has been shown that substitution of XX with YY in position nn of human beta2m enhance the biochemical stability of MHC Class I molecule complexes and thus can lead to more efficient antigen presentation of subdominant peptide epitopes.
MHC complex: MHC complex is herein used interchangeably with MHC-peptide complex, unless it is specified that the MHC complex is empty, i.e. is not complexed with peptide.
MHC Class I like molecules (including non-classical MHC Class I molecules) include CD1 d, HLA E, HLA G, HLA F, HLA H, MIC A, MIC B, ULBP-1 , ULBP-2, and ULBP-3. A "MHC Class Il molecule" as used everywhere herein is defined as a molecule which comprises 2-3 subunits including an alpha-chain and a beta-chain (alpha/beta-dimer), an alpha/beta dimer with a peptide, and an alpha/beta dimer combined with a peptide through a flexible linker to the alpha or beta chain, an alpha/beta dimer combined through an interaction by affinity tags e.g. jun-fos, an alpha/beta dimer combined through an interaction by affinity tags e.g. jun-fos and further combined with a peptide through a flexible linker to the alpha or beta chain. The MHC molecule chains can be changed by substitution of single or by cohorts of native amino acids or by inserts, or deletions to enhance or impair the functions attributed to said molecule. Under circumstances where the alpha-chain and beta-chain have been fused, to form one subunit, the "MHC Class Il molecule" can comprise only 1 subunit.
MHC Class Il like molecules (including non-classical MHC Class Il molecules) include HLA DM, HLA DO, I-A beta2, and I-E beta2.
"MHC complexes" and "MHC constructs" are used interchangably herein.
"MHC protein" and "MHC molecule" are used interchangably herein. Accordingly, a functional MHC peptide complex comprises a MHC protein or MHC molecule associated with a peptide to be presented for cells or binding partners having an affinity for said peptide.
By the terms "MHC complexes" and "MHC multimers" as used herein are meant such complexes and multimers thereof, which are capable of performing at least one of the functions attributed to said complex or multimer. The terms include both classical and non-classical MHC complexes. The meaning of "classical" and "non-classical" in connection with MHC complexes is well known to the person skilled in the art. Non- classical MHC complexes are subgroups of MHC-like complexes. The term "MHC complex" includes MHC Class I molecules, MHC Class Il molecules, as well as MHC- like molecules (both Class I and Class II), including the subgroup non-classical MHC Class I and Class Il molecules.
The MHC molecule can suitably be a vertebrate MHC molecule such as a human, a mouse, a rat, a porcine, a bovine or an avian MHC molecule. Such MHC complexes from different species have different names. E.g. in humans, MHC complexes are denoted HLA. The person skilled in the art will readily know the name of the MHC complexes from various species.
MHC multimer: Any molecule complex compricing one or more MHC molecules held together by a multimerization domain. The attachment of MHC molecule to multimerization domain may be directly or in-directly via a linker and may be covalent or non-covalent.
Multimerization domain: A multimerization domain is a molecule, a complex of molecules, a cell, cell-like structure or a solid support, to which one or more biologically active molecules can be attached. A multimerization domain may consist of one or more carriers and/or one or more scaffolds and may also contain one or more linkers connecting carrier to scaffold, carrier to carrier, scaffold to scaffold. Multimerization domains thus include polymers, proteins (e.g. IgG, streptavidin, TCR, scaffold proteins) micelles, cells, beads, other types of solid support, small organic molecules carrying reactive groups or carrying chemical motifs that can bind biologically active mulecules or any other type of multimerization domain as described elsewhere herein.
Non-covalent: The term noncovalent bond as used herein is a type of chemical bond, that does not involve the sharing of pairs of electrons, but rather involves more dispersed variations of electromagnetic interactions.
Nonsense peptide: A peptide that binds efficiently to the peptide binding groove of MHC protein, but that does not support binding of the resultant MHC-peptide complex to desired TCR
"One or more" as used everywhere herein is intended to include one and a plurality.
Pharmamer: Molecule or molecule complex comprising one or more multimerisation domain(s) and one or more biologically active molecules.
'A plurality" as used everywhere herein should be interpreted as two or more. Streptavidin: Streptavidin as used herein is a tetrameric protein purified from the bacterium Streptomyces avidinii. Streptavidin is widely use in molecular biology through its extraordinarily strong affinity for biotin.
Vaccine: As used herein the term vaccine is used for an antigenic preparation used to establish patial or total immunity to a disease or illness and thereby protecting, curing or treating the body from a specific disease or illness. Vaccines are either prophylactic and prevent disease or therapeutic and treat disease. Vaccines may contain more than one type of antigen and is then called a combined vaccine.
Vaccination: The introduction of vaccine into the body of human or animals for the purpose of inducing immunity.
Treatment: As used herein, the term "treatment" refers to prophylactic, ameliorating, therapeutic or curative treatment.

The present invention relates to a composition compricing one or more pharmamers. Pharmamers are molecules or molecule complexes characterised by having one or more multimerisation domains whereto one or more biologically active molecules are attached either directly or through a linker. The biologically active molecules may also themselves comprice one or more multimerisation domains. Other components may also be attached to the pharmamer in order to broaden, increase, decrease or otherwise modify the binding of and/or effect of the pharmamer.
In another embodiment the invention relates to compositions compricing one or more pharmamers and additionally comprices one or more adjuvant(s), one or more vaccine enhance(s) and/or one or more biologically active molecules not attached to the pharmamer construct. These other molecules may broaden, increase, decrease or otherwise modify the binding, effect or uptake of the pharmamer construct(s) or may have an effect themselves affecting the overall effect of the composition.
In one embodiment the present invention relates to methods for construction of pharmamers and for making compositions compricing one or more pharmamers.
In another embodiment the present invention relates to the use of compositions comprising one or more pharmamers for vaccination of an individual in need thereof. Compositions of pharmamers may be used for prophylactic vaccination of individuals to protect the individual against e.g. viral disease, bacterial disease, parasitic disease, cancer disease, autoimmune disease, allergy or other diseases. Pharmamer compositions may also be used for therapeutic vaccination in order to cure, alleviate or prevent/delay progression of one or more diseases e.g. viral disease, bacterial disease, parasitic disease, cancer disease, autoimmune disease, allergy or other diseases.
In the following pharmamers and compositions compricing pharmamers are described in more detail.
Design, generation and use of pharmamers As used in the description of this invention, the term "pharmamers" will be used to describe any molecule or molecule complex where the number of involved molecules or molecule complexes is larger than one, and where these components are held together in a large complex by covalent or non-covalent interactions to the multimerization domain and/or between the individual components. The components can be identical or different molecules or molecular complexes.
Example, organic molecule-based pharmamers include functionalized cyclic structures such as benzene rings where e.g. a benzene ring is functionalized and covalently linked to e.g. three immunologically active molecules; example, cell-based pharmamers include dendritic cells and antigen presenting cells (APCs); example, membrane-based pharmamers include liposomes and micelles carying immunologically active molecules or complexes in their membranes; example, polymer-based pharmamers include molecule constructs where immunologically active molecules or complexes are bound covalently or non-covalently to a dextran backbone/multimerisation domain and; example, particles include beads or other solid supports with immunologically active molecules immobilized on the surface. Obviously, any kind of multimerization domain can be used, including any kind of cell, polymer, protein or other molecular structure, or particles and solid supports.
Different approaches can be taken to attach or assemble the various components of a pharmamer, i.e. the biologically active molecules and the multimerization domain(s). This can be done by chemical reactions between reactive groups of the multimerization domain and reactive groups on a immunologically active protein, or by non-covalent interaction between a part of the immunologically active protein (e.g. a biotinylated peptide component) and the multimerization domain (e.g. four binding sites for biotin on the strepavidin tetrameric protein). As an alternative, the pharmamer can be formed by the non-covalent association of amino acid helices fused to one component of immunologically active protein, to form a pentameric pharmamer, held together by five helices in a coiled-coil structure making up the multimerization domain.
Appropriate chemical reactions for the covalent coupling of molecules or molecular complexes to the multimerization domain include nucleophilic substitution by activation of electrophiles (e.g. acylation such as amide formation, pyrazolone formation, isoxazolone formation; alkylation; vinylation; disulfide formation), addition to carbon- hetero multiple bonds (e.g. alkene formation by reaction of phosphonates with aldehydes or ketones; arylation; alkylation of arenes/hetarenes by reaction with alkyl boronates or enolethers), nucleophilic substitution using activation of nucleophiles (e.g. condensations; alkylation of aliphatic halides or tosylates with enolethers or enamines), and cycloadditions.
Appropriate molecules, capable of providing non covalent interactions between the multimerization domain and the immunologically and/or biologically active molecules or complexes hereof involve the following molecule pairs and molecules: streptavidin/biotin, avidin/biotin, antibody/antigen, DNA/DNA, DNA/PNA, DNA/RNA,
PNA/PNA, LNA/DNA, leucine zipper e.g. Fos/Jun, IgG dimeric protein, IgM multivalent protein, acid/base coiled-coil helices, chelate/metal ion-bound chelate, streptavidin (SA) and avidin and derivatives thereof, biotin, immunoglobulins, antibodies (monoclonal, polyclonal, and recombinant), antibody fragments and derivatives thereof, leucine zipper domain of AP-1 (jun and fos), hexa-his (metal chelate moiety), hexa-hat GST (glutathione S-transferase) glutathione affinity, Calmodulin-binding peptide (CBP), Strep-tag, Cellulose Binding Domain, Maltose Binding Protein, S-Peptide Tag, Chitin Binding Tag, Immuno-reactive Epitopes, Epitope Tags, E2Tag, HA Epitope Tag, Myc Epitope, FLAG Epitope, AU1 and AU5 Epitopes, GIu-GIu Epitope, KT3 Epitope, IRS Epitope, Btag Epitope, Protein Kinase-C Epitope, VSV Epitope, lectins that mediate binding to a diversity of compounds, including carbohydrates, lipids and proteins, e.g. Con A (Canavalia ensiformis) or WGA (wheat germ agglutinin) and tetranectin or Protein A or G (antibody affinity). Combinations of such binding entities are also comprised. In particular, when the MHC complex is tagged, the binding entity can be an "anti-tag". By "anti-tag" is meant an antibody binding to the tag and any other molecule capable of binding to such tag.
In one embodiment the present invention relates to a vaccine composition comprising one or more pharmamers, wherein the one or more pharmamers has a molecular weight in the range 50,000 Da to 5,000,000 Da, such as from 50,000 Da to 100,000

Multimerisation domains The pharmemers of the invention in one embodiment comprise one or more multimerization domain(s). The multimerization domain(s) can be a soluble multimerization domain(s) or a not soluble multimerization domain(s). The multimerization domain(s) can be any such which enables attachment of the MHC molecules, the binding entities, and/or the biologically active compounds, while providing advantageous properties of the construct.
Examples of suitable multimerization domain(s)s are polysaccharides including dextrans, carboxy methyl dextran, dextran polyaldehyde, carboxymethyl dextran lactone, and cyclodextrins, pullulans, schizophyllan, scleroglucan, xanthan, gellan, O- ethylamino guaran, chitins and chitosans indlucing 6-0- carboxymethyl chitin and N- carboxymethyl chitosan, derivatised cellolosics including carboxymethyl cellulose, carboxymethyl hydroxyethyl cellulose, hydroxy- ethyl cellulose, 6-amino-6-deoxy cellulose and O-ethyl- amine cellulose, hydroxylated starch, hydroxypropyl starch, hydroxyethyl starch, carrageenans, alginates, and agarose, synthetic polysaccharides including ficoll and carboxy-methylated ficoll, vinyl polymers including poly (acrylic acid), poly (acryl amides), poly (acrylic esters), poly (2-hydroxy ethyl methacrylate), poly (methyl methacrylate), poly (maleic acid), poly (maleic anhydride), poly (acrylamide), poly (ethyl-co- vinyl acetate), poly (methacrylic acid), poly (vinyl- alcohol), poly (vinyl alcohol-co-vinyl chloroacetate), aminated poly (vinyl alcohol), and co block polymers thereof, poly ethylene glycol (PEG) or polypropylene glycol or poly (ethylene oxide-co-propylene oxides) comprising polymer backbones including linear, comb- shaped or StarBurst dendrimers, poly amino acids including polylysines, polyglutamic acid, polyurethanes, poly (ethylene imines), pluriol, proteins including peptides, polypeptides, antigenbinding peptides, albumins, immunoglobulins, coiled-coil helixes e.g. Fos-Jun or Fos-Jun like or coiled-coiled dimers/trimers/tetramers/pentamers, Streptavidin, Avidin, Streptactin, T-cell receptors orther protein receptors and virus- like proteins (VLP), and polynucleotides, DNA, RNA, PNA, LNA, oligonucleotides and oligonucleotide dendrimer constructs and small organic molecules including but not limited to steroids, peptides, linear or cyclic structures, aromatic structures, aliphatic structures.
Also included are cells e.g. dendritic cells, antigen presenting cell, B-cell, T-cell
Macrophages, Kupfer cells, Langerhans cells, transfected cells expressing biologically active proteins, including hybridoma cells, yeast-cells, insect-cells, CHO cells, any cell biologically active molecules, cell-like structures e.g. micelles, liposomes, and phages e.g. filamenteous phages and viral or viral-like particles.
Other suitable multimerization domains are solid supports including but not limited to beads, particulate matters and other surfaces.
Also included are self-assembling multimeric structures as described elsewhere herein.
Also included in this definition of the multimerization domain(s) is mixed forms, i.e. one or more multimerization domain(s) composed of one or more of the above examples. An example of this is dextran coupled with Streptavidin whereto biotinylated biologically active proteins can bind.
The choice of multimerization domain(s) depend i.e. on the application of the pharmamer. Of course, several parameters can be varied in the above-given examples of multimerization domain(s), including the length and branching. Furthermore, the multimerization domain(s) can carry various substitutions, including such, which can be protected and/or activated, enabling further derivatisation.
It is to be understood that the pharmamer construct of the invention can further comprise one or several different biologically active molecules in order to affect the characteristics of the constructs, e. g. with respect to binding properties, effects, antigenecity, specificity, solubility, stability, or detectability. For instance, spacing could be provided between the biologically active molecules. One preferred embodiment of the present invention includes multimerisation domains made of Streptavidin or Avidin whereto biotin, biotin-like peptides or other biotin-like molecules can bind.
Another preferred embodiment includes dextran whereto biologically active molecules are attached directly through a linker as described elsewhere herein. The biologically active molecules can also be attached through a second multimerization domain or an entity as described elsewhere herein. Examples include but is not limited to divinylsulfone activated dextran whereto biologically active molecules are coupled directly e.g. through -SH group(s) or amine(s) in the biologically active molecules, dextran coupled with SA whereto biologically active molecules are attached through a biotin on the biologically active molecule, dextran with biologically active molecules are attached through a coiled-coil structure where on α-helix of a coiled-coil dimer is coupled to dextran and the other α-helix is coupled to the biologically active molecule e.g. as a fusion protein.
A preferred embodiment include beads or bead-like structures having an excluded volume (e.g. polysaccharide beads, polystyrene beads, magnetic polystyrene beads, polycarbamate beads, or any other kind of beads that can be dissolved or suspended in aqueous buffer) that carry electrophilic groups (e.g. divinyl sulfone activated polysaccharide, polystyrene beads that have been functionalized with tosyl-activated esters, magnetic polystyrene beads functionalized with tosyl-activated esters), and where biologically active molecules have been covalently immobilized to these by reaction of nucleophiles comprised within the biologically active molecule with the electrophiles of the beads.
In another preferred embodiment, the biologically active molecules described immediately above (where the one or more multimerization domain(s) is a bead) further comprises a flexible or rigid, and water soluble, linker that allows for the immobilized biologically active molecules to interact efficiently with surrounding cells and molecules. In another embodiment, the linker is cleavable, allowing for release of the biologically active molecules from the bead.
In another preferred embodiment the bead is covalently or non-covalently coated with pharmamers or single biologically active molecules, through non-cleavable or cleavable linkers. As an example, the bead can be coated with streptavidin monomers, which in turn are associated with biotinylated pharmamers; or the bead can be coated with streptavidin tetramers, each of which are associated with 0, 1 , 2, 3, or 4 biotinylated biologically active molecules; or the bead can be coated with biologically active molecules where e.g. the reactive groups of the biologically active molecules (e.g. the divinyl sulfone-activated dextran backbone) has reacted with nucleophilic groups on the bead, to form a covalent linkage between the dextran of the dextramer and the beads.
A preferred embodiment including self-assembling multimeric structures are trimeric, tetrameric, pentameric, hexameric or heptameric coiled-coil structures holding together 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7 biologically active molecules. The coiled-coil structures may be attached to biologically active molecules through covalent or non-covalent bonds.
In some of the abovementioned embodiments, several multimerization domains (e.g. streptavidin tetramers bound to biotinylated biologically active molecules) are linked to another multimerization domain (e.g. the bead). For the purpose of the invention we shall call both the smaller and the bigger multimerization domain, as well as the combined multimerization domain, for multimerization domain.
In another preferred embodiment the one or more multimerization domain(s) can be any support capable of binding the biologically active molecules. Well-known supports or multimerization domains include glass, polystyrene, polypropylene, polyethylene, dextran, nylon, amylases, natural and modified celluloses, polyacrylamides, gabbros, and magnetite. The nature of the one or more multimerization domain(s) can be either soluble to some extent or insoluble for the purposes of the present invention. The support material can have virtually any possible structural configuration so long as the coupled molecule is capable of binding to the biologically active molecule. The support configuration can be spherical, as in a bead, or cylindrical, as in the inside surface of a test tube, or the external surface of a rod. Alternatively, the surface can be flat such as a sheet, test strip, a membrane, or a plastic surface.
In another preferred embodiment the multimerization domain(s) can be a polymer or an oligomer or a non-repeating moiety. The polymer or oligomer moiety can comprise repeat units consisting of a repeat moiety selected from alkyl (e.g., -CH2-), substituted alkyl (e.g., --CHR--), alkenyl, substituted alkenyl, alkynyl, substituted alkynyl, phenyl, aryl, heterocyclic, amine, ether, sulfide, disulfide, hydrazine, and any of the foregoing substituted with oxygen, sulfur, sulfonyl, phosphonyl, hydroxyl, alkoxyl, amine, thiol, ether, carbonyl, carboxyl, ester, amide, alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, aryl, heterocyclic, as well as moieties comprising combinations thereof. Generally, a non-repeating multifunctional bridge moiety can be a moiety selected from alkyl, phenyl, aryl, alkenyl, alkynyl, heterocyclic, amine, ether, sulfide, disulfide, hydrazine, and any of the foregoing substituted with oxygen, sulfur, sulfonyl, phosphonyl, hydroxyl, alkoxyl, amine, thiol, ether, carbonyl, carboxyl, ester, amide, alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, aryl, heterocyclic, and moieties comprising combinations thereof (in each permutation). A non-repeating moiety can include repeating units (e.g., methylene) within portions or segments thereof without repeating as a whole.
The oligomer (or oligomer moiety) or the polymer (or polymer moiety), can generally be soluble or insoluble; can generally be a cross-linked oligomer (or oligomer moiety) or a cross-linked polymer (or polymer moiety); can generally be a homopolymer or a copolymer (including polymers having two monomer-repeat-units, terpolymers and higher-order polymers), including for example random copolymer moieties and block copolymer moieties; can generally include one or more ionic monomer moieties such as one or more anionic monomer moieties; can generally include one or more hydrophobic monomer moieties; can generally include one or more hydrophilic monomer moieties; and can generally include any of the foregoing features in combination.
The polymer moiety can be soluble or insoluble, existing for example as dispersed micelles or particles, such as colloidal particles or (insoluble) macroscopic beads. Polymer moieties can be hydrophobic, hydrophilic, amphiphilic, uncharged or non-ionic, negatively or positively charged, or a combination thereof, and can be organic or inorganic.

Biologically active molecules
Pharmamers consist of one or more biologically active molecules coupled to a multimerization domain, as defined above. The biologically active molecules can be selected among every known biologically active molecule on basis of their function in order to obtain the desired functionality of the pharmamer and the final vaccine. Biologically active molecules are molecules having biological activity. Biologically active molecules in a pharmamer affect the binding characteristics and/or the effects of the pharmamer.
Biologically active molecules of the present invention can be divided into the following categories:
• Proteins. The proteins may be full length or truncated and may be modified e.g. by introduction of additional amino acids, mutated, chemically modified (e.g. acetylation, methylation, Pegylation, phosphorylation, glycosylation etc.) or carrying other modifications. The proteins may also be stabilized by covalent or non- covalent attachment of protein linkers or other protein molecules. Biologically active protein molecules of the present invention includes but is not limited to: o Enzymes o Receptor proteins or co-receptor proteins o Immunological proteins (se section below for more details) o Growth factors (proteins capable of stimulating cellular proliferation and differentiation) o Protein hormones o Proteins from microorganisms (viral, bacterial, parasitic, fungal ect.)
Surface proteins, including full length protein, truncated or otherwise modified proteins. Example surface protein include any protein on the surface of microorganism e.g. the envelope proteins gp41 , gp120 or gp140 from HIV or truncated version of these. For vaccine composition purposes surface proteins may be made as recombinant proteins by cloning, expression and purification. Optionally the gene encoding the surface protein or a fragment of the protein may be fused to a gene encoding a protein tag for e.g. enzymatic biotinylation (e.g. compricing a recognition sequence for the BirA anzyme), chemically biotinylation (e.g. compricing an amino acid with a free -SH group), a multimerisation domain, one half of a coiled coil structure or another protein tag or protein fragment. An example of a protein that can be used in vaccine compositions of the present invention is recombinant gp140 may be made by cloning gp140 minus the transmembrane part of the protein leaving just the ecto domain of gp41 and gp120. These two molecules are held together through noncovalently association. An example of an amino acid sequence of such a recombinant gp140 protein is shown in figure 8 (SEQ ID NO 9583). Likewise gp120 may be produced recombinantly by cloning and expression.)
Intracellular and internal proteins. These are proteins inside cells proteins inside an organism e.g. inside envelop vira. For vaccine composition purposes such proteins may be made as recombinant proteins by cloning, expression and purification. Optionally the gene encoding the intracellular or internal protein or a fragment of the protein may be fused to a gene encoding a protein tag for e.g. enzymatic biotinylation (e.g. compricing a recognition sequence for the BirA anzyme), chemically biotinylation (e.g. compricing an amino acid with a free -SH group), a multimerisation domain, one half of a coiled coil structure or another protein tag or protein fragment Example internal protein includes p27 from HIV that is a protein encoded by the gag gene and is a structural protein of the viral core.
An example of the protein sequence of GAG p27 is shown in figure 9 (SEQ ID NO 9584).

MHC monomer/multimers and Antigenic peptides
The present invention in one aspect refers to a vaccine composition comprising one or more MHC monomer comprising a-b-P, or a MHC multimer comprising (a-b-P)n, wherein n > 1 ,
wherein a and b together form a functional MHC protein capable of binding the antigenic peptide P,
wherein (a-b-P) is the MHC-peptide complex formed when the antigenic peptide P binds to the functional MHC protein, and
wherein each MHC peptide complex of a MHC multimer is associated with one or more multimerization domains.
In the following the antigenic peptide P is used interchangeably with antigenic peptide.
Another aspect of the present invention refers to a vaccine compositon comprising one or more antigenic peptides not bound to a MHC molecule or an antigenic polypeptide featuring one or more antigenic peptides. MHC monomers and MHC multimers comprising one or more MHC peptide complexes of class 1 or class 2 MHC are covered by the present invention. In another embodiment the present invention covers antigenic peptides able to bind MHC class 1 and/or MHC class 2 molecules or antigenic polypeptides featuring such antigenic peptides.
Accordingly, the antigenic peptide of the present invention can have a length of e.g. 8, 9, 10, 1 1 , 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 16-20, or 20-30 amino acid residues.
There is also provided a MHC multimer comprising 2 or more MHC-peptide complexes and a multimerization domain to which the 2 or more MHC-peptide complexes are associated. The MHC multimer can generally be formed by association of the 2 or more MHC-peptide complexes with the multimerization domain to which the 2 or more MHC-peptide complexes are capable of associating.
The multimerization domain can be a scaffold associated with one or more MHC- peptide complexes, or a carrier associated with one or more, preferably more than one, MHC-peptide complex(es), or a carrier associated with a plurality of scaffolds each associated with one or more MHC-peptide complexes, such as 2 MHC-peptide complexes, 3 MHC-peptide complexes, 4 MHC-peptide complexes, 5 MHC-peptide complexes or more than 5 MHC-peptide complexes. Accordingly, multimerization domain collectively refers to each and every of the above. It will be clear from the detailed description of the invention provided herein below when the multimerization domain refers to a scaffold or a carrier or a carrier comprising one or more scaffolds.
Generally, when a multimerization domain comprising a carrier and/or a scaffold is present, the MHC complexes can be associated with this domain either directly or via one or more binding entities. The association can be covalent or non-covalent.
Accordingly, there is provided in one embodiment a MHC complex comprising one or more entities (a-b-P)n, wherein a and b together form a functional MHC protein capable of binding a antigenic peptide P, and wherein (a-b-P) is the MHC-peptide complex formed when the antigenic peptide P binds to the functional MHC protein, said MHC complex optionally further comprising a multimerization domain comprising a carrier molecule and/or a scaffold. "MHC complex" refers to any MHC complex, including MHC monomers in the form of a single MHC-peptide complex and MHC multimers comprising a multimerization domain to which more than one MHC peptide complex is associated.
When the invention is directed to a vaccine composition comprising a MHC multimer, i.e. a plurality of MHC peptide complexes of the general composition (a-b-P)n associated with a multimerization domain, n is by definition more than 1 , i.e. at least 2 or more. Accordingly, the term "MHC multimer" is used herein specifically to indicate that more than one MHC-peptide complex is associated with a multimerization domain, such as a scaffold or carrier or carrier comprising one or more scaffolds. Accordingly, a single MHC-peptide complex can be associated with a scaffold or a carrier or a carrier comprising a scaffold and a MHC-multimer comprising 2 or more MHC-peptide complexes can be formed by association of the individual MHC-peptide complexes with a scaffold or a carrier or a carrier comprising one or more scaffolds each associated with one or more MHC-peptide complexes.
When the MHC complex comprises a multimerization domain to which the n MHC- peptide complexes are associated, the association can be a covalent linkage so that each or at least some of the n MHC-peptide complexes is covalently linked to the multimerization domain, or the association can be a non-covalent association so that each or at least some of the n MHC-peptide complexes are non-covalently associated with the multimerization domain.
The MHC complexes of the invention may be provided in non-soluble or soluble form, depending on the intended application.
Effective methods to produce a variety of MHC complexes comprising highly polymorphic human HLA encoded proteins makes it possible to perform advanced analyses of complex immune responses, which may comprise a variety of peptide epitope specific T-cell clones.
One of the benefits of the MHC complexes of the present invention is that the MHC complexes overcome low intrinsic affinities of monomer ligands and counter receptors. The MHC complexes have a large variety of applications that include targeting of high affinity receptors (e.g. hormone peptide receptors for insulin) on target cells. Taken together poly-ligand binding to target cells has numerous practical, clinical and scientifically uses.
Thus, the present invention provides MHC complexes which present mono-valent or multi-valent binding sites for MHC recognising cells, such as MHC complexes optionally comprising a multimerization domain, such as a scaffold or a carrier molecule, which multimerization domain have attached thereto, directly or indirectly via one or more linkers, covalently or non-covalently, one or more MHC peptide complexes. "One or more" as used herein is intended to include one as well as a plurality, such as at least 2. This applies i.a. to the MHC peptide complexes and to the binding entities of the multimerization domain. The scaffold or carrier molecule may thus have attached thereto a MHC peptide complex or a plurality of such MHC peptide complexes, and/or a linker or a plurality of linkers.
In one preferred embodiment the present invention relates to pharmamers or a vaccine composition comprising one or more pharmamers, wherein said phamamers comprise one or more identical or different antigenic peptides, fragments thereof or larger antigenic peptides/proteins comprising one or more of the sequences disclosed in this application.
An antigenic peptide is any peptide molecule that is bound to or able to bind into the binding groove of either MHC class 1 or MHC class 2.
The antigenic peptides may be directly attached to a multimerisation domain of a pharmamer using principles as described for other biologically active molecules elsewhere herein, they may be part of a larger protein or they may be bound to the peptide binding groove of MHC molecules and the MHC-peptide comlex then attached to the multimerisation domain of the pharmamer.
The antigenic peptide(s) can e.g. be 8 mers, 9 mers, 10 mers, 1 1 mers, 12 mers, 13 mers, 14 mers, 15 mers or 16 mers.
The antigenic peptides can in one embodiment be any antigenic peptide e.g. peptide(s) predicted by the netMHC algorithm (http://www.cbs.dtu.dk/services/NetMHC/). In one embodiment the peptide(s) are derived from Lentivirus proteins such as HIV (Human immunodeficiency virus) proteins, like HIV-1 proteins or HIV-2 proteins.

In another embodiment the antigenic peptide(s) include one or more of the following peptides IVDCLTEMY (SEQ ID NO 9588), VTDFSVIK ( SEQ ID NO 9589), GLIQLVEGV (SEQ ID NO 9590), RIAAWMATY ( SEQ ID NO 9591 ), EYRALQLHL (SEQ ID NO 9592) or any variant or fragment thereof such as antigenic peptides comprising the core sequences listed above or variants thereof.
The present invention further relates to one or more antigenic peptides such as the antigenic peptides disclosed in this application, wherein the one or more antigenic peptides have one or more amino acid substitutions such as 1 , 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8.
In a preferred embodiment these amino acid substitutions comprise substitution with an "equivalent amino acid residue". An "equivalent amino acid residue" refers to an amino acid residue capable of replacing another amino acid residue in a polypeptide without substantially altering the structure and/or functionality of the polypeptide. Equivalent amino acids thus have similar properties such as bulkiness of the side-chain, side chain polarity (polar or non-polar), hydrophobicity (hydrophobic or hydrophilic), pH (acidic, neutral or basic) and side chain organization of carbon molecules (aromatic/aliphatic). As such, "equivalent amino acid residues" can be regarded as "conservative amino acid substitutions".
The classification of equivalent amino acids refers in one embodiment to the following classes: 1 ) HRK, 2) DENQ, 3) C, 4) STPAG, 5) MILV and 6) FYW.
Within the meaning of the term "equivalent amino acid substitution" as applied herein, one amino acid may be substituted for another, in one embodiment, within the groups of amino acids indicated herein below:
Amino acids having polar side chains (Asp, GIu, Lys, Arg, His, Asn, GIn, Ser, Thr, Tyr, and Cys,)
Amino acids having non-polar side chains (GIy, Ala, VaI, Leu, lie, Phe, Trp, Pro, and
Met)
Amino acids having aliphatic side chains (GIy, Ala VaI, Leu, lie)
Amino acids having cyclic side chains (Phe, Tyr, Trp, His, Pro) Amino acids having aromatic side chains (Phe, Tyr, Trp)
Amino acids having acidic side chains (Asp, GIu)
Amino acids having basic side chains (Lys, Arg, His)
Amino acids having amide side chains (Asn, GIn)
Amino acids having hydroxy side chains (Ser, Thr) Amino acids having sulphor-containing side chains (Cys, Met),
Neutral, weakly hydrophobic amino acids (Pro, Ala, GIy, Ser, Thr)
Hydrophilic, acidic amino acids (GIn, Asn, GIu, Asp), and
Hydrophobic amino acids (Leu, lie, VaI)
A Venn diagram is another method for grouping of amino acids according to their properties (Livingstone & Barton, CABIOS, 9, 745-756, 1993). In another preferred embodiment one or more amino acids may be substituted with another within the same Venn diagram group.
The present invention also relates to a group of peptides called nonsense peptides. A nonsense peptide is here to be understood as a peptide that binds the MHC protein efficiently, but that does not support binding of the resultant MHC-peptide complex to the desired TCR. An example nonsense peptide is a peptide with an amino acid sequence different from the linear sequence of any peptide derived from any known protein. When choosing an appropriate nonsense peptide the following points are taken into consideration. The peptide should ideally have appropriate amino acids at relevant positions that can anchor the peptide to the peptide-binding groove of the MHC. The remaining amino acids should ideally be chosen in such a way that possible binding to TCR (through interactions with the peptide or peptide-binding site of MHC) are minimized. The peptide should ideally be soluble in water to make proper folding with MHC alpha chain and β2m possible in aqueous buffer. The length of the peptide should ideally match the type and allele of MHC complex. The final peptide sequence should ideally be taken through a blast search or similar analysis, to ensure that it is not identical with any peptide sequence found in any known naturally occurring proteins. Nonsense peptides may be used as negative control peptides in experiments with MHC-peptide molecules or MHC multimers.
Attachment of biologically active molecules to multimerisation domain(s) Pharmamers comprices various molecules covalently or non-covalently attached to multimerisation domains. Such molecules include: biological active molecules, molecules having adjuvant effects; molecules being immune targets e.g. antigens or other molecules as described elsewhere herein. In the following principles for attachement of biologically active molecules to multimerisation domains are described, but same principles may be applied to attachment of adjuvant molecules, immune target molecules or any other molecules to multimerisation domains. In brief, attachment can be done by chemical reactions between reactive groups on the biologically active molecule, e.g. amino groups on the protein surface and reactive groups of the multimerisation domain, e.g. vinyl sulfone functionalities on a dextran polymer and/or between reactive groups on the biologically active molecule. Alternatively, attachment is done by non-covalent interaction between part of the multimerisation domain and part of the biological active molecule. In both covalent and non-covalent attachment of the biologically molecule to the multimerisation domain a linker molecule can connect the two. The linker molecule can be covalent or non- covalent attached to both molecules. Biological active molecules can be attached repetitively aiding to recognition by and stimulation of the innate immune system via Toll or other receptors. The coupling of one or more multimerization domains and biologically active molecules can involve the association of an entity X (attached to or part of the one or more multimerization domain) and an entity Y (attached to or part of biologically active molecule). Thus, the linker that connects the one or more multimerization domain(s) and the biologically active molecule can comprise an XY portion.
The XY linkage can be covalent, in which case X and Y are reactive groups. In this case, X can be a nucleophilic group (such as -NH2, -OH, -SH, -NH-NH2), and Y an electrophilic group (such as CHO, COOH, CO) that react to form a covalent bond XY; or Y can be a nucleophilic group and X an electrophilic group that react to form a covalent bond XY. Other possibilities exist, e.g. either of the reactive groups can be a radical, capable of reacting with the other reactive group. A number of reactive groups X and Y, and the bonds that are formed upon reaction of X and Y, are shown in the table below.
X and Y can be reactive groups naturally comprised within the multimerization domain(s) and/or the biologically active molecule, or they can be artificially added reactive groups. Thus, linkers comprising reactive groups can be linked to either of the multimerization domain(s) and the biologically active molecule; subsequently the introduced reactive group(s) can be used to covalently link the one or more multimerization domain(s) and the biologically active molecule.
Example natural reactive groups of biologically active molecules include amino acid side chains comprising -NH2, -OH, -SH, and -NH-. Example natural reactive groups of multimerization domains include hydroxyls of polysaccharides such as dextrans, but also include amino acid side chains comprising -NH2, -OH, -SH, and -NH- of polypeptides, when the polypeptide is used as one or more multimerization domain(s). In some pharmamers, one of the biologically active is linked by a protein fusion to the one or more multimerization domain(s). Thus, during the translation of the fusion protein, an acyl group (reactive group X or Y) and an amino group (reactive group Y or X) react to form an amide bond. Example is where the biologically active polypeptide chains are fused to one alpha-helic of a coiled-coil structure and where the other alpha helic of a coiled-coil structure is attached to the multimerisation domain. Biologically active proteins are then attached to the multimerisation domian through interaction of the two alpha-helices. Example coiled-coil structure include leucine zipper, fos-jun or other coiled coil structures as described elsewhere herein. Example non-native reactive groups include reactive groups that are attached to the one or more multimerization domain(s) or biologically active protein, through association of a linker molecule comprising the reactive group. The activation of dextran by reaction of the dextran hydroxyls with divinyl sulfone, introduces a reactive vinyl group that can react with e.g. amines of biologically active proteins, to form an amine that now links the one or more multimerization domain(s) (the dextran polymer) and the biologically active protein. Reactive vinyl groups may also react with thiols of the biologically active protein. An alternative activation of the dextran multimerization domain(s) involves a multistep reaction that results in the decoration of the dextran with maleimide groups, as described in the patent Siiman et al. US 6,387,622. In this approach, the amino groups of biologically active proteins are converted to -SH groups, capable of reacting with the maleimide groups of the activated dextran. Alternatively -SH groups of natural occuring Cysteine or artificial incorporated Cysteine can react with the maleimide. Thus, in the latter examples, both the reactive group of the multimerization domain(s) (the maleimide) and the reactive group of the biologically active protein (the thiol) are artificially introduced.
Sometimes activating reagents are used in order to make the reactive groups more reactive. For example, acids such as glutamate or aspartate can be converted to activated esters by addition of e.g. carbodiimid and NHS or nitrophenol, or by converting the acid moiety to a tosyl-activated ester. The activated ester reacts efficiently with a nucleophile such as -NH2, -SH, -OH, etc.
For the purpose of this invention, the multimerization domain(s) (including small organic scaffold molecules, proteins, protein complexes, polymers, beads, liposomes, micelles, cells) that form a covalent bond with the biologically active proteins can be divided into separate groups, depending on the nature of the reactive group that the one or more multimerization domain(s) contains. One group comprise multimerization domain(s) that carry nucleophilic groups (e.g. -NH2, -OH, -SH, -CN, -NH-NH2), exemplified by polysaccharides, polypeptides comprising e.g. lysine, serine, and cysteine; another group of multimerization domain(s) carry electrophilic groups (e.g. - COOH, -CHO, -CO, NHS-ester, tosyl-activated ester, and other activated esters, acid- anhydrides), exemplified by polypeptides comprising e.g. glutamate and aspartate, or vinyl sulfone activated dextran; yet another group of multimerization domains carry radicals or conjugated double bonds. The one or more multimerization domain(s) appropriate for this invention can be those that comprise any of the reactive groups shown in Figure 10 or that can react with other reactive groups to form the bonds shown in the table herein below.
The biologically active proteins can be divided in a similar way, according to the nature of their reactive groups.
In another preferred embodiment the linker can be selected from, but is not limited to, the group consisting of a disulfide-bridge connecting amino acids, heparin or heparan sulfate-derived oligosaccharides (glycosoaminoglycans), bifunctional or chemical cross-linkers, peptide linker, polypeptide linker, fexible linker, synthetic linker, hydrazones, thioethers, esters, disulfides and peptide-containing linkers.
Examples of linkers include but are not limited to a disulfide-bridge connecting amino acids from both polypeptides; heparin or heparan sulfate-derived oligosaccharides (glycosoaminoglycans) connecting both polypeptides; bifunctional or chemical cross- linkers; and a peptide or polypeptide linker. The unimolecular protein can also be a chimera or fusion polypeptide.
The peptide linker sequence is typically flexibly disposed in the fusion protein so as to position the V-alpha and V-beta chains in a configuration which optimally binds an antigen. The peptide linker preferably predominantly comprises amino acids with small side chains, such as glycine, alanine and serine, to provide flexibility. Preferably, about 80 or 90 percent or greater of the linker sequence comprises glycine, alanine or serine residues, particularly glycine and serine residues. Preferably, the linker sequence does not contain any proline residues, which could inhibit flexibility. The linker sequence is suitably attached to the C-terminus of the V-alpha chain and the N-terminus of the V- beta chain of a fusion protein.
Crosslinkers can be either homobifunctional or heterobifunctional. Homobifunctional crosslinkers have two identical reactive groups and often are used in one-step reaction procedures to crosslink proteins to each other or to stabilize quaternary structure. Heterobifunctional crosslinkers possess two different reactive groups that allow for sequential (two-stage) conjugations, helping to minimize undesirable polymerization or self-conjugation. Crosslinkers that are amine-reactive at one end and sulfhydryl- reactive at the other end are especially useful in this regard. The most widely-used heterobifunctional crosslinkers are those having an amine- reactive succinimidyl ester (i.e., NHS-ester) at one end and a sulfhydrylreactive group on the other end. The sulfhydryl-reactive groups are usually maleimides, pyridyl disulfides and haloacetyls. The NHS-ester reactivity is less stable in aqueous solution and is usually reacted first in sequential crosslinking procedures. NHS-esters react with amines to form amide bonds. Carbodiimides are zero-length crosslinkers and effect direct coupling between carboxylates (-COOH) and primary amines (-NH2).
Other heterobifunctional reagents have one reactive group that is photoreactive rather than thermoreactive. This reactivity allows for specific attachment of the labile thermoreactive group first; subsequently, conjugation to any adjacent N-H or C-H sites can be initiated through the photoreactive group by activation with UV light. Crosslinkers preferably comprise at least two reactive groups. Functional groups that can be targeted for crosslinking include primary amines, sulfhydryls, carbonyls, carbohydrates and carboxylic acids (cf. the Table herein below). Coupling also can be nonselective using a photoreactive phenyl azide crosslinker.

The linker that connects the one or more multimerization domain(s) and the biologically active protein can comprise an XY portion. Above different kinds of covalent linkages XY were described. However, the XY linkage can also be non-covalent. Non-covalent XY linkages can comprise natural dimerization pairs such as antigen- antibody pairs, DNA-DNA interactions, or can include natural interactions, for example between biotin and streptavidin. Likewise, the interaction of biologically active proteins, including their transmembrane portion with the cell membrane of for example dendritic cells, is an example of a non-covalent XY interaction.
Artificial XY examples include XY pairs such as His6 tag (X) interacting with Ni-NTA (Y) and PNA-PNA,
Examples of dimerization- and multimerization domains, appropriate for use as XY non-covalent linkers between the multimerization domain(s) and the biologically active protein, can be found elsewhere in this application.
The abovementioned dimerization- and multimerization domains represent specific binding interactions. Another type of non-covalent interactions involves the non-specific adsorption of e.g. proteins onto surfaces. As an example, the non-covalent adsorption of proteins onto glass beads represents this class of XY interactions.
A preferred embodiment involving non-covalent interactions between X and Y are represented by the pentamer structure described in US patent 2004209295.
Another preferred embodiment involves the use of antibodies, with affinity for a non- biofunctional part of a biologically active protein. Thus, an anti-biomolecule antibody, with its two binding site, will bind two biologically active proteins and in this way generate a bivalent pharmamer. In addition, the antibody in certain instances can stabilize the pharmamer structure through the binding interactions.
The antibodies mentioned above can be selected from, but is not limited to, the group consisting of polyclonal antibody, monoclonal antibody, IgA, IgG, IgM, IgD, IgE, IgGI , lgG2, lgG3, lgG4, IgAI , lgA2, IgMI , lgM2, humanized antibody, humanized monoclonal antibody, Chimeric antibody, mouse antibody, rat antibody, rabbit antibody, human antibody, camel antibody, sheep antibody, engineered human antibody, epitope-focused antibody, agonist antibody, antagonist antibody, neutralizing antibody, naturally-occurring antibody, isolated antibody, monovalent antibody, bispecific antibody, trispecific antibody, multispecific antibody, Heteroconjugate antibody, immunoconjugates, immunoliposomes, labeled antibody, antibody fragment, domain antibody, nanobody, minibody, maxibody, diabody, fusion antibody. Another preferred embodiment involves use of Streptavidin or Avidin binding biotin on biotinylated biologically active proteins. Said proteins can be biotinylated enzymatically e.g. using a biotinylation tag recognised by BirA enzyme or they can be chemically biotinylated e.g. using Sulfo-NHS esters of biotin reacting with amino groups or maleimide activated biotin reacting with -SH groups.
The Streptavdin or avidin may further be conjugated to a polymer e.g. dextran as described by Winther et al. in patent WO 02/072631.
Also included in the present invention is genetically or chemically modified Streptavid in/Avid in binding natural biotin and/or chemically or genetically modified biotin; and chemically or genetically modified biotin binding natural Streptavid in/Avid in or chemically or genetically Streptavidin/Avidin.
In the present invention another preferred embodiment involving non-covalent interactions between X and Y are use of dimer coiled-coil structures, where one half the coiled structure are attached to the biologically active protein, e.g. as a fusion protein and the other half is attached to the multimerization domain. Example coiled- coil structures include but are not limited to leucine zippers like Fos-Jun, GCN4 leucine zipper, Fos-Jun like leucine zippers, heterodimeric coiled coil structures consisting of a basic peptide and an acidic peptide, heterodimeric coiled coil structures consisting of a basic peptide and an acidic peptide where Cystein are added to the C-termini of the acid and base peptides either directly or through a linker e.g. GIy-GIy, other heterodimeric coiled-coil structures or homodimeric structures.
Generation of pharmamers
Different approaches to the generation of various types of pharmamers can be applied. In brief, pharmamers can be generated by using molecules purified from natural sources, chemically synthesized or produced by recombinant DNA technology. Use of the latter technology allows for modifications of the natural protein/peptide, most commonly used is fragments that retain special interesting structures or biological function. It involves, first cloning of the genes of interest or modified versions hereof, then expression in a suitable host expression system, and purification of the individual protein components representing antigens, biologically or immunological active proteins, and then combining these components in appropriate numbers and ratios by linking them by covalent or non-covalent bonds to a multimerization domain Size of pharmamers

Use of pharmamers
Pharmamers of the present invention can be used both as preventive vaccines and therapeutic vaccines e.g. therapeutic cancer vaccines and therapeutic anti-viral vaccines. They are a powerful tool in various in vivo and ex vivo therapeutic vaccine applications as will be apparent from the following.
The present invention is also based on the recognition that it is possible to design a poly-ligand pharmamer so as to (I) target specific MHC recognising cells, and (II) induce a response as desired, in specific target MHC recognising cells by addressing receptors on such cells. It was further recognised that with such design of MHC molecule/peptide complexes with a given specificity, it is possible to "add" other stimuli to the therapeutic composition by incorporating other molecules, which will affect the activity of the MHC recognising cells. Thus, it is possible to modulate the activity of specifically targeted MHC recognising cell clones, while leaving other MHC recognising cell clones unaffected. Thereby the immune response can be directed aiding the action of the vaccine.
Furthermore, it is also possible to specifically modulate the activity of more than one MHC recognising cell clone by choosing the before-mentioned other molecules appropriately. The inventions is further based on the recognition that it is possible to obtain specific MHC recognising cells using the pharmamers described herein, to modulate such ex vivo, whereby such cells can be used for in vivo vaccination.
By analogy it is possible to direct the efforts of specific pharmamers to other specialized immune cells by using pharmamers that contains molecules that make one of an interacting pair, such as, anti-X antibody- antigen X, X being any membrane bound protein specifying a single or multiple cell types; receptor ligands-membrane bound receptors, i.e. IL-2-IL2 receptor, FasL-FasR.
Accordingly, the present invention provides for methods of up-regulating, down- regulating, modulate, restoring, enhancing, and/or stimulate the immune system, as well as methods of inducing anergy of cells. This can in accordance with the present invention in general be accomplished in two ways, namely in vivo or ex vivo. By "in vivo" is meant that an effective amount of an active substance or ingredient is administered to a subject by any suitable route, the active substance or ingredient exerting its effect in the subject. By "ex vivo" (can also be termed "in vitro") is meant that cells withdrawn from a subject are in some way affected outside the subject, and then re-introduced to the subject, thereby achieving a desired response.
It is to be understood that the therapeutic compositions of the present invention can comprise one or more pharmamers as defined above. The biologically or immunologically active molecules of each pharmamer can be the same or different..
In particular, the inclusion of biologically active molecules can be important to initiate a response as desired. As mentioned above, the immune system is dependent on several signalling pathways, and thus inclusion of biologically active molecules, either as part of pharmamer or alone, can be an excellent way to control or guide the immune system.
Thus, the present invention relates generally to the pharmamers per se as defined above for use as therapeutic and/or preventive vaccines or constituents in vaccines.
The vaccines can suitably comprise one or more adjuvants and/or excipients as described in the foregoing. If more adjuvants are included they may be combined together with a single antigen or all antigens present in the vaccine, or each adjuvant may be combined with one particular antigen.
As used herein, the term "adjuvant" refers to an immunological adjuvant. By this is meant a compound that is able to enhance or facilitate the immune system's response to the ingredient in question, thereby inducing an immune response or series of immune responses in the subject. The adjuvant can facilitate the effect of the therapeutic composition by forming depots (prolonging the half-life of the ingredient), provide additional T-cell help and stimulate cytokine production. Facilitation of antigen survival and unspecific stimulation by adjuvants may, in some cases, be required if the antigenic molecule epitopes or functional molecules of the pharmamer are only weakly antigenic or only exerts weak to moderate interactions with compounds, molecules, or cells of the immune system.
Included in the term "immune response" is specific humoral, i. e. antibody, as well as cellular immune responses, the antibodies being serologic as well as secretory and pertaining to the subclasses IgM, IgD, IgG, IgA and IgE as well as all isotypes, allotypes, and subclasses thereof. The term is further intended to include other serum or tissue components. The cellular response includes Type-1 and Type-2 T-helper lymphocytes, T-17 regulatory T cells, cytotoxic T-cells as well NK cells. Also included herein is the various responses belonging to the innate immune resonse.
The therapeutic compositions of the invention can suitably be applied in the treatment, prevention, stabilisation, or alleviation of various diseases.
Diseases of relevance are those such as, diseases of inflammatory, auto-immune, allergic, viral, cancerous, infectious, allo-or xenogene (graft versus host and host versus graft) origin. In particular, the disease can be a chronic inflammatory bowel disease such as Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis, sclerosis, type I diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, asthma, malignant melanoma, renal carcinoma, breast cancer, lung cancer, cancer of the uterus, prostatic cancer, brain cancer, head and neck cancer, leukaemia, cutaneous lymphoma, hepatic carcinoma, colorectal cancer, bladder cancer, rejection-related disease, Graft-versus-host-related disease, or a viral disease associated with hepatitis, AIDS, measles, pox chicken pox, rubella or herpes.

Compositions
The therapeutic compositions of the invention can be formulated in any suitable way, i. a. depending on the route of administration, and the amount of active ingredient to be administered. In particular, the therapeutic compositions of the invention can be formulated for parenteral administration, including intravenous, intramuscular, intraarticular, subcutaneous, intradermal, epicutantous/transdermal, and intraperitoneal administration, for infusion, for oral administration, for nasal administration, for rectal administration, for vaginal administration, or for topic administration.
The pharmamer can suitably be immobilised onto a solid or semi-solid support. Examples of solid and semi-solid support are those mentioned above, i. e. particles, beads, biodegradable particles, sheets, gels, filters, membranes, fibres, capillaries, needles, microtitre strips, tubes, plates or wells, combs, pipette tips, micro arrays, and chips. In particular, the solid support can be selected from particles and beads, preferably particles and beads, which are polymeric, magnetic or superparamagnetic. For in vivo therapy, biodegradable particles will be especially preferred, while for ex vivo therapy, biodegradable, polymeric, magnetic, paramagnetic or superparamagnetic particles will be especially preferred.
As mentioned, the pharmamers used in therapeutic vaccine settings are very interesting molecule poly-ligand compounds possessing highly appropriate properties for modulation of various immune cells both in vivo and ex vivo.
The poly-ligand pharmamers can, due to the one or more multimerization domain(s), be loaded with a plurality of biologically or immunologically active molecules to ensure high avidity binding to specific counter receptors.
It is to be understood that such responses include inducing anergy leading to apoptosis, up-regulating a response, down-regulating a response, stimulating a response, modulating a response, enhancing a response, inhibiting a response, and in any other way manipulating a response. In this connection, it should be understood that the MHC molecules/peptides of the construct can be chosen so as to induce a number of other responses, or activate signal pathways which results in the production of various signalling substances which can have a beneficial influence on the disease to be treated, prevented or alleviated.
Furthermore, this desired effect of one or more of the molecules of a pharmamer can be ameliorated, enhanced, reduced, inhibited, stimulated or combined with other effects by the further attachment of other biologically active compounds as described above.
A variety of diseases, including cancer causes immunosuppression in the patients. Immunotherapy using therapeutic vaccines is an attempt to stimulate the patient's own immune system to recognise and destroy cancer cells. The tumour can exert its suppressive influence over the immune system through several different mechanisms. Although tumour cells can prime the immune system, tumour escape mechanisms can induce immunological tolerance to the tumour. There are several known mechanisms of tumour escaping immune surveillance. For instance, tumour cells are often inefficient in presenting tumour antigens to effector T- cells. This can be the result of tumour cell down- regulation or mutation of MHC molecules, or down- regulation of co-stimulatory molecules such as B7, or other molecules, such as TAP, that are important in the antigen presenting pathway. Furthermore, tumour cells have been shown to induce tolerance in T-cells by down- regulating the expression of CD3-zeta chain in T-cells. Tumour cells can also suppress T-cell activation by release of inhibitory cytokines, and induce apoptosis in T-cells through Fas-Fas ligand interaction. Tumour cells also have the ability to suppress the immune system through release of cytokines such as IL-12 that inhibits the maturation of immature dendritic cells into fully mature antigen presenting cells. Inhibitory factors released by tumour cells have been shown to suppress granulocyte activation, thus avoiding the killing of tumour cells by activated granulocytes.
Common treatment regimes such as chemotherapy and radiation therapy also suppress immunity in a more general way. It is also known that the immune suppresion that HIV infection cause leads to destruction of immune function cells.
A variety of different prior art strategies have been employed in an attempt to restore or enhance the patient's immune response to tumours, including treatment with monoclonal antibodies, cancer vaccines, cytokine therapy and adoptive cellular immunotherapy using dendritic cells or T-cells. Cellular immunotherapy involving T- cells include CD8+ cytotoxic effector cells that have the capacity to kill tumour cells. Furthermore, it has been shown that CD4+ cytokine producing T-cells also play an important role in maintaining a sustainable anti-tumour cell activity of cytotoxic CD8 cells. The success, however, of the prior art methods have been limited.
As mentioned the present invention relates to methods for the vaccine treatment of human beings and animals, comprising methods of administering a pharmammer as described herein in an effective amount.
The treatment can be such which involves up-regulation, down-regulation, modulation, stimulation, inhibition, restoration, enhancement and/and otherwise manipulation of immune responses. This can indeed be accomplished by the compositions of the present invention. The present invention also relates to methods of inducing anergy in a cell, by which methods a therapeutic composition as described herein is administered.
In a further aspect, the present invention relates to methods of performing adoptive immunotherapy, which methods comprise administrating to an animal, including a human being, a therapeutic composition as described herein. As mentioned above, the therapeutic composition of the invention is suited for in vivo therapy.
The present invention further comprise pharmamer compositions for therapeutic and preventive vaccines that suitably comprise from 1 to 3, 1 to 4, 1 to 5, 1 to 6, 1 to 7, 1 to 8, 1 to 9, 1 to10, or 1 to more than 10; 2 to 3, 2 to 4, 2 to 5, 2 to 6, 2 to 7, 2 to 8, 2 to 9, 2 to 10, or 2 to more than 10; 3 to 4, 3 to 5, 3 to 6, 3 to 7, 3 to 8, 3 to 9, 3 to 10, or 3 to more than 10; 4 to 5, 4 to 6, 4 to 7, 4 to 8, 4 to9, 4 to 10, or 4 to more than 10; 5 to 6, 5 to 7, 5 to 8, 5 to 9, 5 to 10, or 5 to more than 10; 6 to 7, 6 to 8, 6 to 9, 6 to 10, or 6 to more than 10; 7 to 8, 7 to 9, 7 to 10, or 7 to more than 10; 8 to 9, 8 to 10, or 8 to more than 10; 9 to 10, or 9 to more than 10 different biologically active molecules.
Thus, the inclusion of two, three, four, five, six or more different biologically active molecules are contemplated and believed to be advantageous in some cases. The different molecules can be attached on the multimerization domaine in any desired fixed ratio e.g. for a pharmamer with three different molecules termed A, B, and C, ratios such as but not limited to, 1 :1 :1 , 1 :2:1 , 1 :3:1 , 1 :4:1 , 1 :5:1 , 2:1 :1 , 2:1 :2, 2:3:2,
3:5:8, etc. and for a pharmamer with five different molecules attached, termed G, H, I, J, and K, ratios such as but not limited to, 2:4:3:6:5, 4:6:8:1 :1 , 10:1 :2:5:2, etc. may apply. One or more of the molecules can be functioning as an adjuvant. Adjuvants or biologically active molecules or other ingredients may also be constituents of the final vaccine without being attached to the multimerization domain. These non-pharmamer vaccine constituents can be mixed with the pharmamer in any suitable ratio(s).

The individual to receive the vaccine composition according to the present invention may be any individual in need thereof, preferably a mammal in need thereof, more preferably a human being in need thereof, such as a newborn, a child, an adult, a woman or a man.
In one preferred embodiment the vaccine composition is administered prophylactically and in this embodiment the individual in need thereof, may be any individual at risk of encountering the given clinical condition against which the vaccine composition is directed. When selecting biologically active molecules to be used in a pharmamer one needs to carefully consider the possibilities of unwanted adverse or serious adverse reactions.
It is further contemplated that the amount of pharmamer construct required to induce a systemic immune response will typically be in the range of from 0.0001 to 10000 ug/kg/dose, such as from 0.01 to 1000 ug/kg/dose, from 0.1 to 100 ug/kg/dose, or from 1 to 10 ug/kg/dose.
In one embodiment, each dosage unit of said vaccine composition preferably comprises in the range of 0.01 to 1 μg, such as in the range of 0.05 to 1 μg, for example in the range of 0.1 to 1 μg, such as in the range of 0.05 to 1 μg, for example in the range of 0.1 to 1 μg, such as in the range of 0.05 to 0.8 μg, for example in the range of 0.05 to 0.6 μg, such as in the range of 0.05 to 0.4 μg, for example in the range of 0.05 to 0.2 μg, such as in the range of 0.1 to 0.8 μg, for example in the range of 0.1 to 0.6 μg, such as in the range of 0.1 to 0.5 μg, for example in the range of 0.1 to 0.4 μg, such as in the range of 0.1 to 0.3 μg, for example in the range of 0.1 to 0.2 μg of the pharmamer or peptide of the present invention.
In one embodiment the daily dosage of the pharmamer may be varied over a wide range from 0.001 to 1 ,000 mg per adult human/per day. For oral administration, the compositions are preferably provided in the form of scored or unscored tablets containing 0.01 , 0.05, 0.1 , 0.5, 1 .0, 2.5, 5.0, 10.0, 15.0, 25.0, and 50.0 milligrams of the active ingredient for the symptomatic adjustment of the dosage to the patient to be treated. An effective amount of the drug is ordinarily supplied at a dosage level of from about 0.0001 mg/kg to about 100 mg/kg of body weight per day. The range is more particularly from about 0.001 mg/kg to 10 mg/kg of body weight per day. Even more particularly, the range varies from about 0.05 to about 1 mg/kg.
Of course the dosage level will vary depending upon the potency of the particular compound. Certain compounds will be more potent than others. In addition, the dosage level will vary depending upon the bioavailability of the compound. The more bioavailable and potent the compound, the less compound will need to be administered through any delivery route, including but not limited to oral delivery.
The amount of the immunogenic peptide of the invention in the pharmaceutical composition may vary, depending on the particular application. However, a single dose of the immunogen is in one embodiment preferably anywhere from about 10 μg to about 5000 μg, more preferably from about 50 μg to about 2500 μg such as about 100 μg to about 1000 μg.
Modes of administration include intradermal, subcutaneous and intravenous administration, implantation in the form of a time release formulation, etc. Any and all forms of administration known to the art are encompassed herein. Also any and all conventional dosage forms that are known in the art to be appropriate for formulating injectable immunogenic peptide composition are encompassed, such as lyophilised forms and solutions, suspensions or emulsion forms containing, if required, conventional pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, diluents, preservatives, adjuvants, buffer components, etc.
The vaccine compositions may be administered in any suitable manner. For example the vaccine compositions may be administered enterally, parenterally, transdermal^, orally, by inhalation and/or over a mucosal membrane.
In a preferred embodiment, the vaccine compositions are administered parenterally. Examples of parenteral routes of administration include injections and infusions, e.g. intravenous, intraarterial, intramuscular, intracardial, subcutaneous, intraosseous, intradermal, intraperitonal or intrethecal. A preferred route of parenteral administration of the vaccine comporision is by subcutaneous injection. A suitable administration form for parenteral administration is a solution or dispersion.
Pharmammer vaccine compositions administered more than once can be administered by same route or by alternating routes. Similarly the individual components of the vaccine can be administered alone or in combinations by the same route or by alternating/mixed routes
In some embodiments of the present invention it is desirable that the pharmaceutical composition comprises an isotonic agent. In particular when the pharmaceutical composition is prepared for administration by injection or infusion it is often desirable that an isotonic agent is added. Accordingly, the composition may comprise at least one pharmaceutically acceptable additive which is an isotonic agent.
The pharmaceutical composition may be isotonic, hypotonic or hypertonic. However it is often preferred that a pharmaceutical composition for infusion or injection is essentially isotonic, when it is administrated. Hence, for storage the pharmaceutical composition may preferably be isotonic or hypertonic. If the pharmaceutical composition is hypertonic for storage, it may be diluted to become an isotonic solution prior to administration.
The isotonic agent may be an ionic isotonic agent such as a salt or a non-ionic isotonic agent such as a carbohydrate.
Examples of ionic isotonic agents include but are not limited to NaCI, CaCI2, KCI and MgCI2 Examples of non-ionic isotonic agents include but are not limited to mannitol, sorbitol and glycerol.
It is also contained within the present invention that at least one pharmaceutically acceptable additive is a buffer. For some purposes, for example, when the pharmaceutical composition is meant for infusion or injection, it is often desirable that the composition comprises a buffer, which is capable of buffering a solution to a pH in the range of 4 to 10, such as 5 to 9, for example 6 to 8.
However, in other embodiments of the invention the pharmaceutical composition may comprise no buffer at all or only micromolar amounts of buffer.
The buffer may for example be selected from the group consisting of TRIS, acetate, glutamate, lactate, maleate, tartrate, phosphate, citrate, carbonate, glycinate, histidine, glycine, succinate and triethanolamine buffer. TRIS buffer is known under various other names for example tromethamine including tromethamine USP, THAM, Trizma, Trisamine, Tris amino and trometamol. The designation TRIS covers all the aforementioned designations.
The buffer may furthermore for example be selected from USP compatible buffers for parenteral use, in particular, when the pharmaceutical formulation is for parenteral use. For example the buffer may be selected from the group consisting of monobasic acids such as acetic, benzoic, gluconic, glyceric and lactic, dibasic acids such as aconitic, adipic, ascorbic, carbonic, glutamic, malic, succinic and tartaric, polybasic acids such as citric and phosphoric and bases such as ammonia, diethanolamine, glycine, triethanolamine, and TRIS.
The vaccine composition may also comprise antioxidants and/or reducing agents for example acetone sodium bisulfite, ascorbate, bisulfite sodium, butylated hydroxy anisole, butylated hydroxy toluene, cystein/cysteinate HCL, dithionite sodium, gentisic acid, gentisic acid ethanolamine, glutamate monosodium, formaldehyde sulfoxylate sodium, metabisulfite potassium, metabisulfite sodium, monothioglycerol, propyl gallate, sulfite sodium and thioglycolate sodium.
In another embodiment the vaccine composition is administered transdermally. Examples of useful administration forms for transdermal administration include ointment, gel, cream, gel-like cream, paste, liquid, lotion, aerosol, spray, liniment, plaster, poultice, foam, bath admixture, a patch and a bandage. Preferably, if the vaccine composition is to be administered transdermally, it is preferably in the form of a patch.
Ointments, lotions, creams and the like may be prepared as described in Remington "The science and practice of pharmacy", chapter 44 pages 845-851 , 20th edition. Patches for transdermal vaccines may be prepared by any conventional methods, for example as described in EP1384403 or WO2004/030696. Preferably patches for transdermal vaccines are prepared essentially as described in Examples 4 to 13 of WO2004/03069 except that the transdermal patches should comprise the vaccine composition according to the present invention. The skilled person will readily be able to make the required adaptations.
For inhalation the vaccine composition may be administered in the form of an aerosol and/or spray dosage form which can be prepared, for example, by filling an aerosol container with above-mentioned solution for example, together with an injection agent such as liquefied petroleum gas. A poultice can be prepared by adding the above mentioned vaccine composition to an ointment base formed from a partially neutralized polyacrylic acid, sodium polyacrylate, and the like. For oral administration, the vaccine composition may be administered in the form of a tablet, capsule, drop, liquid mixture or powder. Tablet, capsules, and drops may be swallowed or chewed. Oral administration may result in uptake via the mucosa in the mouth, such as buccal or sublingual uptake, and/or in uptake via the gastro-intestinal route, such as uptake over the mucosa of the intestines.
As the pH adjuster, for example, lactic acid, citric acid, phosphoric acid and the like can be mentioned for adjusting to a lower pH range, and sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, sodium lactate, sodium citrate, monoethanolamine and diisopropanolamine and the like can be mentioned for adjusting to a higher pH range. Addition of carboxyvinyl polymer, which is a water-soluble polymer, can also achieve a lower pH. Buffers such as acetate buffer, a phosphate buffer, a citrate buffer, a succinate buffer or TRIS may also be included for pH adjustment.
As the stabilizer, for example, ascorbic acid, dibutylhydroxytoluene, sodium thiosulfate, sodium thioglycolate, sodium thiomalate, erythorbic acid, sodium erythorbate, sodium pyrosulfite, benzoic acid, sodium benzoate, sodium alginate, sodium caprylate, L- arginine, L-cysteine, dl-.alpha.-tocopherol, tocopherol acetate, propyl gallate, disodium edetate and the like can be mentioned.
As the preservative, for example, benzethonium chloride, benzalkonium chloride, methylparaben, ethylparaben, propylparaben, chlorobutanol, benzyl alcohol, thimerosal and the like can be mentioned.
The vaccine compositions of the present invention may also be administered over a mucosal membrane. Thus, the vaccine composition may be applied to any mucous membrane including the conjunctiva, nasopharynx, orthopharnyx, vagina, colon, urethra, urinary bladder, lung, large (rectal) and small (enteral) intestine.
When administered ocularly or nasally, the compositions of the present invention can be formulated in an aqueous solution buffered to a pH of between 3.0 and 8.0, most preferably pH 5.0-5.4, by means of a pharmaceutically acceptible buffer system. Any pharmaceutically acceptable buffering system capable of maintaining the pH in the preferred ranges can be used in the practice of this invention. A typical buffer will be, for example, an acetate buffer, a phosphate buffer, a citrate buffer, a succinate buffer, or the like. The concentration of buffer is typically in the range from between 0.005 and 0.1 molar, most preferably about 0.02 molar.
The container, e.g. nasal applicator or eye drop bottle, may contain sufficient composition for a single nasal or ocular dosing or for several sequential dosages.
In one embodiment of the invention, the vaccine compositions of the present invention may be formulated for sustained release. For example, one or more of the immune stimulating complex, carrier protein, saccharide antigen and/or aluminium containing adjuvant may be combined with a silicone elastomer that releases the saccharide antigen over a long period of time. The silicone elastomer can also comprise albumin. See U.S. Pat. No. 4,985,253, the contents of which are fully incorporated by reference herein. The release rate of the antigen from the silicone elastomer can be controlled by incorporation of a water soluble or fat soluble mixing agent or cosolvent (e.g., polyethylene glycol 400, polysorbate 80, sodium alginate, L-alanine, sodium chloride, polydimethylsiloxane) into the silicone elastomer. Any other additive can also be incorporated into the silicone elastomer for the purpose of accelerating the release rate.
The vaccine composition according to the invention may be formulated into unit dosage forms, wherein each unit, for example a sealed container, comprises one dosage of the vaccine composition.
The vaccine compositions may be administered once; however, more often the vaccine compositions are administered more than once, such as more than 2 times, for example more than 5 times, such as more than 10, for example more than 15, such as more than 20, for example more than 30 times, such as more than 50 times, for example more than 100 times. Preferably, the vaccine compositions are administered in the range of 2 to 10 times, more preferably in the range of 2 to 5 times, such as twice.
When the vaccine composition is administered more than once, the time period between two individual administrations is typically in the range of 1 week to 5 years, such as in the range of 1 month to 2 year, for example in the range of 1 month to 1 year, such as in the range of 2 months to 7 months. If the vaccine composition is administered more than twice, then the time period between the individual administrations may each individually be any of the aforementioned. Thus by way of example the interval between the first and second administration may be around 2 months and the interval between the second and the third administration may be around 7 months.
In one embodiment the pharmamer based vaccines can be administered by several routes including but not limited to injection including intravenously, intramuscularly, subcutaneously, inter peritoneal injection and transmucosally (nasal, rectal, vaginal) application, by inhalation, per-orally or by inoculation.
The administration of pharmamers of the invention can be as single doses or as several doses. In certain cases, administration only once can be sufficient. In general, several doses should be given with intervals of a day, a week, two weeks, a month, or several months, etc. For example, a single dose can be given once, or a dose can be given as a primer, followed by one or more administration, or a continuous administration regime like up to four doses per week, followed by one month without administrations, followed by up to four doses per week. Further but not limiting examples are vaccination protocols where administration is performed on week 0, 4, 8, and 16; or on week 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 14; or on week 0, 5, 1 1 , 17; or on month 0, 1 , and 2; or on day 0, 7, and 30; or every year. Optionally with increasing amount of pharmamer; optionally with modified ratios of the biologically active molecules of the pharmamer construct; optionally using different adjuvants or combinations of adjuvants in the different administrations. Administration protocol can also be linked to age of the vaccine. Known examples are childhood vaccines. Examples of age related protocols, at the age of 3 month, 5, month, and 12 month; or 3 month, 5, month, 12 month, and 5 years; or 15 month, and 4 years. These examples are not exhaustive. The optimal administration regime depends on the pharmamer construct in question and several other factors. The person skilled in the art will readily know how to optimise this.
Of course, other medicaments can be administered simultaneously in order to enhance or support the vaccine treatment.
Containers for mixing and storage of the pharmamers of the invention can be made of glass or various polymeric materials. The containers chosen should not adsorb the product stored. The containers can suitably be ampoules or capped vials for mono-or multi-dosage.
The invention further relates to methods for producing the pharmamers of the invention, which methods comprise providing a pharmamer as described herein, and solubilising or dispersing (i.e. in suspension) the pharmamer in a medium suitable for therapeutic substances, and optionally adding other adjuvants and/or excipients. The medium can be in the form of a liquid, a gel, or an ointment. The pharmamer can also be embedded in a matrix being part of a solid pill, or powder inside a capsule.
As described herein the pharmamers can be useful as vaccines, as vaccine components or as engineered intelligent adjuvants. The possibility of creating pharmamers that specifically bind certain T cells with molecules that trigger, e.g. the humoral response or the innate immune response, can accelerate vaccine development and improve the efficiency of vaccines.
Vaccine compositions may be prepared and administered using any conventional protocol known by a person skilled in the art. Below is a non-limiting example of preparation of a vaccine composition according to the invention is given as well as a non-limiting example of adminstration of such as a vaccine. It will be appreciated by the person skilled in the art that the protocol may be easily adapted to any of the vaccine compositions described herein.
The peptides can e.g. be synthesized e.g. at the UVA Biomolecular Core Facility with a free amide NH2 terminus and free acid COOH terminus. Each was provided as a lyophilized peptide, which was then reconstituted in sterile water and diluted with
Lactated Ringer's solution (LR, Baxter Healthcare, Deerfield, IL) as a buffer for a final concentration of 67-80% Lactated Ringer's in water. These solutions were then sterile- filtered, placed in borosilicate glass vials, and submitted to a series of quality assurance studies including confirmation of identity, sterility, general safety, and purity, in accordance with FDA guidelines, as defined in IND 6453.
In practical circumstances, patients will receive a vaccine comprising about 100 μg of a class I H LA- restricted HIV peptide with or without a class Il HLA-restricted HIV helper peptide. The patients are vaccinated with e.g. about 100 μg of the class I HLA peptide in adjuvant alone, or vaccinated with e.g. about 100 μg of the HLA class l-restricted peptide plus 190 μg of the class ll-restricted helper peptide. The higher dose of the helper peptide is calculated to provide equimolar quantities of the helper and cytotoxic epitopes. Additionally, patients can be vaccinated with a longer peptide comprising the amino acid sequences of both peptides.
The above peptides, in 1 -ml aqueous solution, can be administered either as a solution/suspension with about 100 μg of QS-21 , or as an emulsion with about 1 ml of Montanide ISA-51 adjuvant.
Patients are immunized e.g. at day 0 and months 1 , 2, 3, 6, 9, and 12, with the peptide pharmamer plus adjuvant, for a total of seven immunizations. With rare exceptions, the vaccinations are administered to the same arm with each vaccine. The peptide pharmamers are administered s.c.
Adjuvants
Pharmamer vaccines of the present invention may be combined with adjuvant in order to improve the effect of the vaccine. Adjuvants are pharmacological or immunological agents that modify the effect of other agents (e.g. vaccines and drugs) while having few if any direct effects when given by themselves.
Adjuvants can be mixed with the vaccine and administered simultaneously with the vaccine. The adjuvant can be attached to one or more components of the vaccine by covalent or non-covalent interaction or be in the vaccine as an individual component. The adjuvant may also be administered before or after the vaccine is administered. More than one type of adjuvant can be used together with a given vaccine likewise one specific type of adjuvant may be used for more than one vaccine.
Immunological adjuvants are substances that stimulate the immune system and increase the response to a vaccine without having any specific antigenic effect itself. An immunological adjuvant either potentiates the immune responses to an antigen and/or modulates it towards the desired immune responses. More than one adjuvant may be present in the final vaccine product. They may be combined together with a single antigen or all antigens present in the vaccine, or each adjuvant may be combined with one particular antigen. Examples of immunological adjuvants include oil emulsions and surfactant based formulations e.g. MF59, QS21 , AS02, Montanide ISA-51 JSA-720, Titermax gold, mineral salts (e.g. aluminiumhydroxide, aluminiumhydroxide gel, aluminium or calcium phosphate gels), particulate adjuvants (e.g. virosomes, AS04, immune stimulatory complexes (ISCOMs), polylactide co-glycolide (PLG)), natural and synthetic microbial derivatives (e.g. monophosphoryl lipid A (MPL), Detox (MPL + M. Phlei cell wall skeleton), AGP [RC-529] (synthetic acylated monosaccharide), DC_Chol (lipoidal immunostimulators able to self organize into liposome's), OM-174 (lipid A derivative), CpG motifs (synthetic oligonucleotides containing immunostimulatory CpG motifs), modified LT and CT (genetically modified bacterial toxins to provide non-toxic adjuvant effects), endogenous human immunomodulators, (e.g., hGM-CSF or hlL-12 (cytokines that can be administered either as protein or plasmid encoded), lmmudaptin (C3d tandem array)), saponins, squalene or phosphate based adjuvants, lipopolysaccharides, Inert vehicles, such as gold particles microbial antigens, copolymers.
Adjuvant pertaining to the present invention may be grouped according to their origin, be it mineral, bacterial, plant, synthetic, or host product. The first group under this classification are the mineral adjuvants, such as aluminium compounds. Antigens precipitated with aluminum salts or antigens mixed with or adsorbed to performed aluminum compounds have been used extensively to augment immune responses in animals and humans. Aluminum particles have been demonstrated in regional lymph nodes of rabbits seven days following immunization, and it may be that another significant function is to direct antigen to T cell containing areas in the nodes themselves. Adjuvant potency has been shown to correlate with intimation of the draining lymph nodes. While many studies have confirmed that antigens administered with aluminum salts led to increased humoral immunity, cell mediated immunity appears to be only slightly increased, as measured by delayed-type hypersensitivity. Aluminum hydroxide has also been described as activating the complement pathway. This mechanism may play a role in the local inflammatory response as well as immunoglobulin production and B cell memory. Primarily because of their excellent record of safety, aluminum compounds are presently the only adjuvants used in humans.
While aluminum salts have been a sufficient adjuvant for strong immunogens that require only antibody responses to elicit protection, they may not always be effective when used with weak immunogens such as e.g. synthetic peptides of malaria, or for introducing cell-mediated immune responses or IgG isotype of the type required to fight infections. Thus, the immunostimulating fragment of TGF according to the present invention may in one embodiment act as an adjuvant or immunostimulator and may be conjugated or non-conjugated to the immunogenic determinant against which it is desirable to raise an immune response.
Another large group of adjuvants are those of bacterial origin. Adjuvants with bacterial origins can be purified and synthesized (e.g. muramyl dipeptides, lipid A) and host mediators have been cloned (Interleukin 1 and 2). The last decade has brought significant progress in the chemical purification of at least three adjuvants of active components of bacterial origin: Bordetella pertussis, lipopolysaccharide and Freund's Complete Adjuvant (FCA). Additionally suitable adjuvants in accordance with the present invention are e.g. Titermax, ISCOMS, Quil A, and ALUN, see US 58767 and 5,554,372, Lipid A derivatives, choleratoxin derivatives, HSP derivatives, LPS derivatives, synthetic peptide matrixes, GMDP, and other as well as combined with immunostimulants (US 5,876,735).
B. pertussis is of interest as an adjuvant in the context of the present invention due to its ability to modulate cell-mediated immunity through action on T-lymphocyte populations. For lipopolysaccharide and Freund's Complete Adjuvant, adjuvant active moieties have been identified and synthesized which permit study of structure-function relationships. These are also considered for inclusion in immunogenic compositions according to the present invention.
Lipopolysaccharide and its various derivatives, including lipid A, have been found to be powerful adjuvants in combination with liposome's or other lipid emulsions. It is not yet certain whether derivatives with sufficiently low toxicity for general use in humans can be produced. Freund's Complete Adjuvant is the standard in most experimental studies.
Endogenous human immunomodulators are another group of adjuvants of interest for the present invention and among others include cytokines, interleukins, interferons and growth factors. These immunomodulators can be administered either as protein or plasmid encoded. Many other types of materials can be used as adjuvants in immunogenic compositions according to the present invention. They include plant products such as saponin, animal products such as chitin, inert vehicles, such as gold particles and numerous synthetic chemicals.
Adjuvants according to the present invention can also be categorized by their proposed mechanisms of action. This type of classification is necessarily somewhat arbitrary because most adjuvants appear to function by more than one mechanism. Adjuvants may act through antigen localization and delivery, or by direct effects on cells making up the immune system, such as macrophages and lymphocytes. Another mechanism by which adjuvants according to the invention enhance the immune response is by creation of an antigen depot. This appears to contribute to the adjuvant activity of aluminum compounds, oil emulsions, liposomes, and synthetic polymers. The adjuvant activity of lipopolysaccharides and muramyl dipeptides appears to be mainly mediated through activation of the macrophage, whereas B. pertussis affects both macrophages and lymphocytes. Further examples of adjuvants that may be useful when incorporated into immunogenic compositions according to the present invention are described in US 5,554,372.
At present only a few of the above mentioned adjuvants are approved for human use. Most relevant in this aspect are Alhydrogel (AluminiumHydroxide), MF59 and the proprietary Montanide ISA720.
In one embodiment adjuvants are any substance whose admixture into the vaccine composition increases or otherwise modifies the immune response to the pharmamers of the present invention.
Adjuvants could for example be selected from the group consisting of: AIK(SO4)2, AINa(SO4)2, AINH4 (SO4), silica, alum, AI(OH)3, Ca3 (PO4)2, kaolin, carbon, aluminum hydroxide, muramyl dipeptides, N-acetyl-muramyl-L-threonyl-D-isoglutamine (thr-
DMP), N-acetyl-nornuramyl-L-alanyl-D-isoglutamine (CGP 1 1687, also referred to as nor-MDP), N-acetylmuramyul-L-alanyl-D-isoglutaminyl-L-alanine-2-(1 '2'-dipalmitoyl-sn - glycero-3-hydroxphosphoryloxy)-ethylamine (CGP 19835A, also referred to as MTP- PE), RIBI (MPL+TDM+CWS) in a 2% squalene/Tween-80.RTM. emulsion, lipopolysaccharides and its various derivatives, including lipid A, Freund's Complete Adjuvant (FCA), Freund's Incomplete Adjuvants, Merck Adjuvant 65, polynucleotides (for example, poly IC and poly AU acids), wax D from Mycobacterium, tuberculosis, substances found in Corynebacterium parvum, Bordetella pertussis, and members of the genus Brucella, liposomes or other lipid emulsions, Titermax, ISCOMS, Quil A, ALUN (see US 58767 and 5,554,372), Lipid A derivatives, choleratoxin derivatives, HSP derivatives, LPS derivatives, synthetic peptide matrixes or GMDP, lnterleukin 1 , lnterleukin 2, Montanide ISA-51 and QS-21. Preferred adjuvants to be used with the invention include Montanide ISA-51 and QS-21.
Montanide ISA-51 (Seppic, Inc.) is a mineral oil-based adjuvant analogous to incomplete Freund's adjuvant, which must be administered as an emulsion. QS-21 (Antigenics; Aquila Biopharmaceuticals, Framingham, MA) is a highly purified, water- soluble saponin that handles as an aqueous solution. QS-21 and Montanide ISA-51 adjuvants can be provided in sterile, single-use vials.
Additional preferred adjuvants capable of being used in vaccine compositions comprising one or more of the pharmamers of the present invention are e.g. any substance which promote an immune responses. Frequently, the adjuvant of choice is Freund's complete or incomplete adjuvant, or killed B. pertussis organisms, used e.g. in combination with alum precipitated antigen. A general discussion of adjuvants is provided in Goding, Monoclonal Antibodies: Principles & Practice (2nd edition, 1986) at pages 61 -63. Goding notes, however, that when the antigen of interest is of low molecular weight, or is poorly immunogenic, coupling to an immunogenic carrier is recommended. Examples of such carrier molecules include keyhole limpet haemocyanin, bovine serum albumin, ovalbumin and fowl immunoglobulin. Various saponin extracts have also been suggested to be useful as adjuvants in immunogenic compositions. Recently, it has been proposed to use granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF), a well known cytokine, as an adjuvant (WO 97/28816).
Desirable functionalities of adjuvants capable of being used in accordance with the present invention are listed in the below table.

Vaccine enhancers
A vaccine enhancer may be present in the pharmamer vaccine independently of an adjuvant. The function of a vaccine enhancer can for example be to increase the molecular weight of the pharmamer in order to increase their activity or immunogenicity, to confer stability, to increase the biological activity, or to increase serum half-life. Furthermore, a vaccine enhancer may aid presenting the pharmamer to T-cells. The vaccine enhancer may be any suitable vaccine enhancer known to the person skilled in the art, for example a protein or an antigen presenting cell. A vaccine enhancer protein could be but is not limited to keyhole limpet hemocyanin, serum proteins such as transferrin, bovine serum albumin, human serum albumin, thyroglobulin or ovalbumin, immunoglobulins, or hormones, such as insulin or palmitic acid. For immunization of humans, the vaccine enhancer must be a physiologically acceptable vaccine enhancer acceptable to humans and safe. However, tetanus toxoid and/or diptheria toxoid are suitable vaccine enhancers in one embodiment of the invention. Alternatively, the vaccine enhancer may be dextrans for example sepharose.
In one embodiment, the vaccine composition may comprise dendritic cells. The dendritic cells (DC) may be prepared and used in therapeutic procedure according to any suitable protocol.
Combination with other vaccines/ vaccine components In another embodiment of the present invention the composition of a pharmamer vaccine may be also comprice one or more other type of vaccines or vaccine components different from pharmamers, i.e. such a composition may have a pharmamer vaccine component and one or more other vaccine components. Such other vaccine components may be categorized depending on several characteristics, including way of action; being prophylactic or therapeutic i.e. whether the vaccine induce complete prevention from disease; or improvement of disease or relief from disease symptoms; way of administration; times of administration; what kind of physical feature or matter is administered; what specific physical feature or matter is treated and how is this feature or matter treated.
Other vaccine components of the present invention include:
A vaccine is an antigenic preparation used to establish immunity to a disease or illness and thereby protects or cures the body from a specific disease or illness. Vaccines are either prophylactic and prevent disease or therapeutic and treat disease. Vaccines may contain more than one type of antigen and is then called a combined vaccine. Example, prophylactic vaccines are conventional vaccines for infectious diseases, such as measles, mumps, and tetanus. These vaccines are effective because they expose the immune system to weakened versions of the disease. This exposure causes the immune system to respond by producing antibodies. Once the immune system has created antibodies, some of the activated immune cells remember the exposure. Therefore, the next time the same antigen enters the body, the immune system can respond more readily to destroy it. For cancer treatment, researchers are developing vaccines that can encourage the immune system to recognize cancer cells. These vaccines can help the body reject tumors and prevent cancer from recurring. In contrast to traditional vaccines against infectious diseases, cancer vaccines are designed to be injected after the disease is diagnosed, rather than before it develops and are therefore therapeutic. By example, it has been shown that immunization with dendritic cells (DC) loaded with appropriate peptides from tumor associated antigens (TAAs) stimulate "tumor specific" T-cells, which in some patients prevent further progression of the disease and eventually lead to regression of the disease.
In the present invention other vaccines/other vaccine components are subdivided into the following categories:
o Vaccines made of living virulent microorganisms. Virulence refers to the degree of pathogenecity of a microbe, or in other words the relative ability of a microbe to cause disease. Examples of such organisms include but is not limited to bacteria, virus, parasites or other pathogens. Most pathogens will not be useful for vaccines if they are fully virulent but certain natural occurring modest virulent strains can be used. The vaccine may result in protection against the organism used for vaccination but may also induce protections against related virulent organisms
The organism may be fully virulent
The organism may be partly virulent meaning that the virulence of the organism has been reduced. Such organisms are often called live attenuated microorganisms. Attenuated means reducing the virulence of the microorganism while keeping it viable. Examples of reducing the virulence og an microorganism includes but is not limited to
• Modifying the microorganism by physical means, e.g. by heating • Modifying the microorganism by chemical means, e.g. by addition of chemicals to the microorganism. • Genetically modified microorganisms, e.g. recombinant bacteria or virus missing virulence factors
• Cultured under conditions that disable their virulent properties One way to reduce the virulence of an organism is passage through a foreign host e.g. tissue cultures, embryo eggs or live animals.

Examples of pharmamer vaccines
A pharmamer vaccine can be designed to elicit a multifunctional immune response i.e. a composite immune responses directed against both arms of the immune system being the adaptive and the innate immune system; and both parts of the adaptive system i.e. the humoral and the cellular part.
Example, a pharmamer vaccine against HIV (Human Immunodeficiency virus) can be designed to elicit a multifunctional immune response by combining two or more of the following components:
HLA class 1 and class 2 molecules (Human major histocompatibility antigens) for stimulation of an allo-response i.e. a response against foreign HLA. The HLA class 1 molecules are folded or partly folded with human b2Microglobulin and a peptide fitting into the binding groove. The HLA class 1 heavy chain can be complete, partial or otherwise modified. The HLA class 2 molecules consist of folded or partly folded alpha- and beta-chains with or without a peptide in the binding groove. The HLA class 2 alpha- and beta-chains can be complete, partial or otherwise modified. The peptides bound in the binding grooves may be chosen among binding-peptides derived from HIV specific proteins, i.e. Gag-Pol, Pr55(Gag), Vif, Vpr, Tat, Rev, Vpu, Nef, gp160 and derivatives such as gp120, gp41 and gp140, or they may be HIV unrelated. HIV virus carries the former host's HLA class 1 and 2 in the viral membrane. The HLA molecules elicit allo-responses directed against the foreign HLA molecules and recently it has been shown that allo-responses upregulate the intracellular anti HIV-1 factor (APOBEC3G) shown to play a crucial part in protection against HIV infection; HLA class 1 peptides derived from regions of the class 1 heavy chain; HLA class 2 peptides derived from regions of the class 2 alpha and/or beta chain; CD4 or part(s) hereof, the major receptor for HIV virus entry;
CCR 5 (Chemokine Receptor 5) or part(s) hereof. CCR5 is an important co-receptor for HIV virus entry into the host cell. In addition the extracellular peptide-loops of CCR5 are known to inhibit strains of HIV and SIV and act synergistically with HSP70 to stimulate the innate immune responses;
CXCR4 or part(s) hereof. CXCR4 can function as co-receptor for HIV virus entry into the host cell;
CCR 2 (Chemokine Receptor 2) or part(s) hereof. CCR2 can function as co-receptor for HIV virus entry into the host cell; CX3CR1 or part(s) hereof. CX3CR1 can function as co-receptor for HIV virus entry into the host cell;
SDF-1 or part(s) hereof. SDF-1 can function as co-receptor for HIV virus entry into the host cell; US28 or part(s) hereof. US28 is a CMV (Cytomegalovirus) protein expressed on already CMV infected cells that can function as co-receptor for HIV virus entry into the host cell;
HIV viral specific proteins i.e. Gag-Pol, Pr55(Gag), Vif, Vpr, Tat, Rev,Vpu, Nef, gp160 and derivatives such as but not limited to gp120, gp41 and gp140; HSP70 (70 kD Heat-shock protein) or part(s) hereof. HSP70 induces a robust mucosal immune response. HSP70 in addition generates a number of anti-HIV functions, such as inducing production of the CCR5 binding CC chemokines, blocking CCR5 directly, and stimulating DC (Dendritic Cells) to produce IL-15 which inhibits HIV-1 and enhances the inhibitory effect of CD8-SF (CD8 Suppressor Factor). HSP70 enhances memory T cells, upregulates the costimulatory CD40-CD40L pathway and induces cross-presentations of antigens. An important feature is that HSP70 upregulate the intracellular anti HIV-1 factor, APOBEC3G (apolipoprotein B mRNA-editing, enzyme- catalytic, polypeptide-like-3G) which has recently been shown to play a crucial role in protection against HIV infection The pharmamer HIV vaccine can be applied at the cervico-vaginal mucosa i.e. vaginally or IM i.e. intra-muscular. The pharmamer HIV vaccine can be administered alone or together with additional adjuvant(s) such as but not limited to Titermax Gold, Alhydrogel (Aluminium-hydroxide), MF59 and the proprietary Montanide ISA720.
Example, a pharmamer vaccine against SIV (Simian Immunodeficiency virus) can be designed to elicit a multifunctional immune response by combining two or more of the following components:
Simian Mamu class 1 and/or class 2 molecules (Mokey major histocompatibility antigens) for stimulation of an allo-response i.e. a response against foreign Mamu. The Mamu class 1 molecules are folded or partly folded with human b2Microglobulin and a peptide fitting into the binding groove. The Mamu class 1 heavy chain can be complete, partial or otherwise modified. The Mamu class 2 molecules consist of folded or partly folded alpha- and beta-chains with or without a peptide in the binding groove. The
Mamu class 2 alpha- and beta-chains can be complete, partial or otherwise modified. The peptides bound in the binding grooves may be chosen among binding-peptides derived from SIV specific proteins, i.e. Gag-Pol, Gag, Vif, Vpx, Envelope protein, Nef, or they may be SIV unrelated. HIV virus carries the former host's Mamu class 1 and 2 in the viral membrane. The Mamu molecules elicit allo-responses directed against the foreign Mamu molecules and recently it has been shown that allo-responses upregulate the intracellular anti HIV-1 factor (APOBEC3G) shown to play a crucial part in protection against HIV infection; Mamu class 1 peptides derived from regions of the class 1 heavy chain; Mamu class 2 peptides derived from regions of the class 2 alpha and/or beta chain; CD4 or part(s) hereof, the major receptor for SIV virus entry;
CCR 5 (Chemokine Receptor 5) or part(s) hereof. CCR5 is an important co-receptor for SIV virus entry into the host cell. In addition the extracellular peptide-loops of CCR5 are known to inhibit strains of HIV and SIV and act synergistically with HSP70 to stimulate the innate immune responses;
CXCR4 or part(s) hereof. CXCR4 can function as co-receptor for SIV virus entry into the host cell;
CCR 2 (Chemokine Receptor 2) or part(s) hereof. CCR2 can function as co-receptor for SIV virus entry into the host cell; CX3CR1 or part(s) hereof. CX3CR1 can function as co-receptor for SIV virus entry into the host cell;
SDF-1 or part(s) hereof. SDF-1 can function as co-receptor for SIV virus entry into the host cell; SIV viral specific proteins i.e. Gag-Pol, Gag, Vif, Vpx, Envelope protein, Nef;
HSP70 (70 kD Heat-shock protein) or part(s) hereof. HSP70 induces a robust mucosal immune response. HSP70 in addition generates a number of anti-SIV functions, such as inducing production of the CCR5 binding CC chemokines, blocking CCR5 directly, and stimulating DC (Dendritic Cells) to produce IL-15 which inhibits HIV-1 and enhances the inhibitory effect of CD8-SF (CD8 Suppressor Factor). HSP70 enhances memory T cells, upregulates the costimulatory CD40-CD40L pathway and induces cross-presentations of antigens. An important feature is that HSP70 upregulate the intracellular anti SIV factor, APOBEC3G (apolipoprotein B mRNA-editing, enzyme- catalytic, polypeptide-like-3G) which has recently been shown to play a crucial role in protection against SIV infection

Other types of HIV treatments include administration of one or more of the following:
• Atripla - (a single pill that includes efavirenz÷ tenofovir+FTC). People taking a first-line combination of efavirenz and Truvada, with an undetectable viral load for three months, can switch to Atripla
• Atazanavir/r for first-line therapy is currently being researched, and the results are expected shortly. Atavanavir/r is widely used as first line treatment.
• Darunavir/r was approved as a treatment for people with resistance. In a recent study, darunavir did better than Kaletra as first therapy.
• Raltegravir - (an integrase inhibitor) has shown similar potency to efavirenz, but has fewer side effects or interactions with other drugs.
• Maraviroc - (an entry inhibitor).
• Etravirine - (a new NNRTI). "Combination therapy" can include the introduction of heterologous nucleic acids into suitable cells, generally known as gene therapy. For example gene therapy may involve introduction of tumour suppressor genes or apoptosis promoting genes into tumour cells. Alternatively, nucleic acid sequences inhibiting expression of oncogenes or apoptosis inhibiting genes may be introduced to tumour cells. Furthermore, genes that encode enzymes capable of conferring to tumor cells sensitivity to chemotherapeutic agents may be introduced. Accordingly, the present invention in one embodiment provides a method comprising the step of treating cancer by introducing a gene vector, encoding a protein capable of enzymatically converting a prodrug, i.e., a non-toxic compound, into a toxic compound. In the method of the present invention, the therapeutic nucleic acid sequence is a nucleic acid coding for a product, wherein the product causes cell death by itself or in the presence of other drugs. A representative example of such a therapeutic nucleic acid is one, which codes for thymidine kinase of herpes simplex virus. Additional examples are thymidine kinase of varicella zoster virus and the bacterial gene cytosine deaminase, which can convert 5-fluorocytosine to the highly toxic compound 5-fluorouracil.

This is an example of generation of a pharmamers that can be used in a vaccine composition for treatment of SIV/HIV. 4 different vaccine compositions were generated comprising between 1 -4 pharmamers whereto 3-5 different biological active molecules were attached. The multimerization domain in all pharmamers was Streptavidin (SA) coupled Dextran (27OkDa) and the biologically active molecules were attached to the SA-Dextran backbone by a non- covalent interaction between SA and biotin on the biologically active molecules. In the following generation of the individual components in the pharmamers are described:
Generation of multimerization domain:
Dextran270 were coupled with SA using the following procedure. Divinyl sulfone acid activated Dextran270 were mixed with SA in a molar ratio of 1 :13 (Dextran270:SA) in buffer ( 0,025 M NaHCO3, 0.1 M NaCI) for 2 hours at 40<€. The final concentration of Dextran270 was 6 uM. Then the reaction was stopped by adding 10 vol% 0.165 M Cystein, incubation for 30 minutes at 40 °C. Excess SA was removed by gelfiltration on a Superdex 200-column and the buffer exchanged to 0,1 M NaCI; 10 mM CHES; pH 9.0. The final product had a concentration of 0.65 mg/ml and 8.6 SA molecules per Dextran molecule in average.
Generation of biotinylated MHC l-peptide complexes:
Four different biotinylated MHC l-peptide complexes were generated: HLA-A*0101 (IVDCLTEMY )SEQ ID NO 9588), HLA-A*1 101 (IVTDFSVIK)SEQ ID NO
9589), HLA-A*0201 (GLIQLVEGV) SEQ ID NO 9590, HLA-A*0301 (RIAAWMATY) SEQ ID NO 9591.
The protein coding sequences minus the signal peptide and transmembrane regions of all of the 4 human MHC class 1 heavy chain molecules were obtained from GenBank and the sequence backtranslated according to E.coli codon usage using www.entelechon.com. The gene was synthesized by PCR using 10 overlapping DNA primers (DNA Technology, Denmark) and KOD polymerase (EMD Chemicals, Novagen). Sequence was verified by repeated DNA sequencing (MWG Biotech, Ebersberg, Germany) and base errors introduced were corrected using Quick Change multi site-directed mutagenesis kit (Stratagene, La JoIIa, CA) before cloning in pGarboczi (Garboczi et al 1992). Human beta2Microblulin (β2m) (GenBank ace # CAG33347.1 ) was acquired and cloned. Recombinant MHC 1 heavy chain and β2m protein was produces by fermentation, isolated and purified by column chromatography.
MHC-peptide complexes was generated by in vitro refolding of heavy chain, β2m and peptide in a buffer containing reduced and oxidized glutathione. By incubation in this buffer a non-covalent complex between Heavy Chain, β2m and peptide was formed. Heavy chain and β2m was expressed as inclusion bodies in E.coli prior to in vitro refolding following standard procedures as described in Garboczi et al., (1996), Nature 384, 134-141 . Following refolding the MHC complexes was biotinylated using BirA enzyme able to biotinylate a specific amino acid residue in a recognition sequence fused to the C-terminal of the Heavy Chain by genetic fusion. Monomer MHC complexes was then purified by size exclusion chromatography.
1 . 200 ml of refolding buffer (100 mM Tris, 400 mM L-arginin-HCL, 2 mM NaEDTA, 0.5 mM oxidized Gluthathione, 5 mM reduced Glutathione, pH 8.0) was supplied with protease inhibitors PMSF (phenylmethylsulphonyl fluoride), Pepstatin A and Leupeptin (to a final concentration of 1 mM, 1 mg/l and 1 mg/l, respectively). The refolding buffer was placed at 10 0C on a stirrer.
2. 12 mg of peptide was dissolved in DMSO or another suitable solvent (300-500 μl), and added drop-wise to the refolding buffer at vigorous stirring.
3. 4.4 mg of human Light Chain β2m was added drop-wise to the refolding buffer at vigorous stirring.
4. 6.2 mg of Heavy Chain (supplied with DTT to a concentration of 0.1 mM) was added drop-wise to the refolding buffer at vigorous stirring. 5. The folding reaction was placed at 100C at slow stirring for 4-8 hours.
6. After 4-8 hours, step 3 and 4 was repeated and the folding reaction is placed at 1 O0C at slow stirring O/N.
7. Step 3 and 4 was repeated, and the folding reaction is placed at 100C at slow stirring for 6-8 hours. Optionally, steps 5-7 may be done in less time, e.g. a total of 0.5-5 hours.
8. After 6-8 hours the folding reaction was filtrated through a 0.2 μm filter to remove aggregates.
9. The folding reaction was concentrated O/N at 100C shaking gently in a suitable concentrator with a 5000 mw cut-off filter. The folding reaction was concentrated to approximately 5-10 ml. (Optionally the filtrate can be stored at 40C and reused for another folding with the same peptide and heavy chain.)
10. The concentrated folding reaction was buffer-exchanged at least 8 times, into a MHC-buffer (20 mM Tris-HCI, 50 mM NaCI, pH 8.0) and concentrated (at 1 O0C in a suitable concentrator with a 5000 mw cut-off filter) down to approximately 1 ml.
1 1 . The heavy chain part of the MHC-complex was biotinylated by mixing the following components: approximately 1000 μl folded MHC-complex, 100 μl each of Biomix-A, Biomix-B and d-Biotin (all 3 from Biotin Protein Ligase Kit from Avidity, 10 μl birA enzyme (3 mg/ml, from Biotin Protein Ligase Kit from Avidity, 0.5 μl Pepstatin A (2 mg/ml) and 0.5 μl Leupeptin (2 mg/ml). The above was gently mixed and incubated
O/N at room temperature.
12. The biotinylated and folded MHC-complex solution was centrifuged for 5 min. at 170Ox g, room temperature.
13. Correctly folded MHC-complex was separated and purified from excess biotin, excess β2m, excesss heavy chain and aggregates thereoff, by size exclusion chromatography on a column that separates proteins in the 10-100 kDa range. Correctly folded monomer MHC-complex was eluted with a MHC-buffer (20 mM Tris-HCI, 50 mM NaCI, pH 8.0). The elution profile consisted of 4 peaks, corresponding to aggregated Heavy Chain, correctly folded monomer MHC- complex, β2m and excess biotin and peptide.
14. Fractions containing the folded MHC-complex were pooled and concentrated to approximately 1 ml in a suitable concentrator with a 5000 mw cut-off filter. The protein-concentration was estimated from its abosorption at 280 nm.
15. The grade of biotinylation was analyzed by a SDS PAGE SHIFT-assay with Streptavidin and correct folding was confirmed by ELISA, using the antibody W6/32 that recognizes correctly folded MHC-peptide complex.
Generation of biotinylated DR4 molecules:
DR0401 -leucine zipper-biotinylation site-expression vectors were made using the PCR- mediated splicing overlap technique together with the plasmid pUChsneo, which carries the neomycin resistance marker, were co-transfected into Schneider cells S-2 by standard calcium phosphate transfection techniques. The DR*0401 (DR4) molecules were purified by affinity chromatography using L243 antibody as described previously (Stern and Wiley 1992). The DR4 molecules were biotinylated using BirA enzyme and a standard protocol following a standard biotinylation protocol provided by the manufacturer
Construction, purification and production of trimeric HIVqp140 (YU2qp140) (SEQ ID NO 9583L
PCR Cloning was carried out by inserting the Avi tag in the YU2gp140 Foldon trimer; two sets of PCR overlapping primers were designed. The first set of primers was used with YU2 gp140 foldon construct and to amplify the portions of YU2 gp140 region from BamH1 site through the foldon trimerization motif , His tag and some seq. of Avi tag followed by the stop codon. The other set amplified the His Tag followed by Avi tag seq. and the rev primer amplified the Hind III site, a stop codon and the remaining of the Avi tag. After one round of amplification both the reaction were mixed and the PCR was performed using the Fw primer from first set and the rev primer from second set. PCR amplified product was run on 1 % agarose gel at 100V constant and eluted from the gel using standard procedure. The amplified fragment was digested with BamH1 followed by Hind III . The vector DNA was similarly sequentially digested with the following enzymes and a ligation reaction was performed using the Rapid ligation kit from Roche. The Top10 competent cells(lnvitrogen) were transformed with the 5ul of ligation mix and then plated on Carbenicillin containing plates. 10 colonies were picked up and inoculated in LB medium containing the Carbenecillin and Mini prep was performed using Qiagen kit. The DNA was sent for seq. to ACGT, Inc. using YU2 gp140 Fw primer and seq analysis was performed in the Vector NTI program. The 293 freestyle cells were obtained from Invitrogen and were maintained in serum-free media. The transient transfection was performed when cells reached a density of 2-3x10Λ6 /ml and dilute it to 1.2 X10Λ6/ ml with fresh medium in 1 L batches using 293 fectin reagent from Invitrogen. The transfection grade DNA was obtained from Aldeveron and the transfection was set using standard protocol. After 4 days in culture the supernatant was collected by centrifuging cells in 250 ml conical tubes at 1500 rpm for 30'. The protease inhibitors tablets from Roche were added (1 tablet /50ml of sup) and the supernatant was centrifuged using 0.2um filters. The supenatant was checked by immuno-precipitation with monoclonal antibodies such as b12 for protein expression and then loaded onto the Lentil Lectin (GE Health Care) column overnight (Fig 1 B). The column was washed with at least 10V PBS with 0.5M NaCI and the glycoproteins were eluted with 1 M-α D Methyl Mannopyranoside by rocking the column with 10 volumes of elution buffer. The proteins from the first column were loaded onto Ni column and further eluted with 30OmM - imidazole phosphate buffer. The protein was concentrated by using 3OkDa Millipore concentrators and buffer exchanged with PBS. The total amount of the protein was determined using Spectrophotometer 3000 by OD 28OnM. Trimeric HIVgp140 was biotinylated using BirA enzyme following a standard biotinylation protocol provided by the manufacturer.
Generation of SIVp27 (SEQ ID NO 9584)
Recombinant SIV 27gag (SIVp27) was expressed as pGEX-3x glutathione S- transferase fusion protein from Escherichia coli as previously described (Mills et al 1992). Recombinant proteins were reconstituted at 2mg/ml in PBS. A 10 fold molar excess of Sulpho-NHS-LC-LC Biotin (Pierce UK), at -10 mM in PBS, was added to the protein solutions and incubated at room temperature for 30 minutes. Excess biotin was removed by dialysis against sterile PBS overnight at 4° C. The biotinylated proteins were then incubated with 2 rounds of polymyxin B beads to remove LPS (GE Healthcare, UK). Verification of biotinylation was performed as follows. The proteins were analysed by SDS-PAGE followed by Coomaasie Blue staining and western blotting onto nitrocellulose. The nitrocellulose blots were probed directly with avidin conjugated to horse radish peroxidase (ExrAvidin, Sigma-Aldrich UK) and developed with 3 Amino 9 ethylcarbazole tablets and hydrogen peroxide in 50 mM Acetate buffer pH 5.0 (Sigma -Aldrich, UK). The proteins were >90% biotinylated.
Generation of C-terminal fragment of HSP70
The C-terminal fragment of M. tuberculosis HSP70 (359-609) (SEQ ID NO 9582) was subcloned to enable in vitro biotinylation. A primer of 76 bases for PCR was designed that allows fusion of the recognition site for in vivo biotinylation in E. coli to the C- terminal end of HSP359-GOg ■ Together with a forward cloning primer the HSP359-GOg fusion gene was amplified and after restriction with Nde\ and Xho\ inserted into the expression vector pET26. The resulting plasmid pLEXWOI 67-4 was transformed into E. coli BL21 (DE3). This strain was used for production of biomass. The insert of plasmid pLEXWOI 67-4 was confirmed by sequencing.
For rapid purification metal chelate chromatography HSP359-609 was fused to a 6-fold histidine tag. The HSP359-609 gene was again excised from plasmid pLEXWOI 67-4 using restriction endonucleases Nde\ and Xho\ and inserted into pET28 which provides the sequence for the N-terminal histidine tag. The resulting plasmid pLEXWOI 75-4 was transformed into E. coli BL21 (DE3). This strain was used for production of biomass of biotinylated HSP359-GOg with N-terminal histidine tag. 2. Biomass derived from BL21 (DE3) [p LEXW0175-4] was disrupted using sonification and homogenization. The supernatant after centrifugation underwent metal chelate affinity chromatography. To achieve a higher purity the protein underwent two further purification steps, by anion exchange and size exclusion chromatography. The highly purified N-his HSP359-609-bio (40mg) was subjected to final quality control and a Western blot.
Linking the biologically active molecules to multimerization domain The following pharmamer constructs were made:
1 ) Dextran270 + HLA-A*0101 (IVDCLTEMY )(SEQ ID NO 9588) + DR4 + HSP70 (molar ratio 1 :10:10:4)
2) Dextran270 + HLA-A*0201 (GLIQLVEGV) (SEQ ID NO 9590) + HLA- A*0301 (RIAAWMATY) (SEQ ID NO 9591 ) + HSP70 (molar ratio 1 :10:10:4) 3) Dextran270 + HLA-A*1 101 (IVTDFSVIK)SEQ ID NO 9589) + HSP70 (molar ratio 1 :10:4)
4) Dextran270 + HIVgp140 + Sivp27 + HSP70 (molar ratio 1 :3:10:4)
The 4 constructs were made by mixing Dextran270 with the above said biotinylated biological molecules (HLA l-peptide complexes, DR4 molecules, trimeric HIVgp140, SIVp27 and/or HSP70 (359-609)) in molar ratios as described. The final concentration of Dextran was 0.014 M.
These pharmamers may be used in a composition for vaccination of individuals with HIV or vaccination of healthy individuals for preventing infection with HIV.
Example 7
This is an example of how pharmamer vaccine compositions compricing one or more of the pharmamers described in example 6 are used for prophylactic vaccination/immunization of rhesus macaques later challenged with simian HIV.
Immunization of macagues
Thirty-eight female rhesus macaques {Macaca mulatta) of Chinese origin, 3-5 years old at the start of the study, were housed in the Astrid Fagraeus laboratory at the Swedish Institute for Infectious Disease Control. Housing and care procedures were in compliance with the provisions and general guidelines of the Swedish Animal Welfare Agency. All procedures were approved by the Local Ethical Committee on Animal Experiments. Animals were housed in pairs in 4 m3 cages, enriched to allow expression of physiological and behavioural needs. They were habituated to the housing conditions for more than 6 weeks before the start of the experiment, and subjected to positive reinforcement training to reduce the stress associated with experimental procedures. All immunizations and blood sampling were performed under sedation with ketamine 10 mg/kg i.m. (Ketaminol 100 mg/ml, Intervet, Sweden). Macaques were weighed and examined for swelling of lymphnodes and spleen at each immunization or sampling occasion. Before entering the study, all animals were confirmed to be negative for simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV), simian T-cell lymphotropic virus and simian retrovirus type D.
32 of the macaques were divided into 4 groups of eight animals and immunized SC at weeks 0 - 4 - 8 and 16 (figure 3A) with vaccine compositions compricing one or more of the pharmamers described in example 6. The different groups were immunized with different pharmamer vaccine compositions as described in figure 3B. The constituents and concentrations of each of the 4 pharmamers used in a single dose are shown in figure 3C. Animals in groups 1 -3 received a full vaccine dose at the first immunization and half doses at the following immunizations. The vaccines for groups 1 -3 were given subcutaneously (s.c.) formulated as an emulsion with the TiterMax® Gold adjuvant (0.5 mL/full dose; Sigma-Aldrich, St Louis, MO, USA). An additional six animals (group 5) received the same vaccine as group 2, but intramuscularly (i.m.) without TiterMax® Gold (figure 3B), and full vaccine doses at all immunizations.
SHIV challenge
A SHIV-SF162P4 stock was expanded in the human T cell line C8166-CCR5, expressing HLA-A*01 and -DRB1 *04. This T cell line expanded stock was designated SHIV-SF162P4/C. A limited in vivo titration was performed in nine rhesus macaques of Chinese origin. 3/3, 2/3 and 0/3 animals became infected after intravenuous (i.v.) inoculation with 1 ml of a 1/1 ,000, a 1/100,000 and a 1/1 ,000,000 dilution, respectively. The approximate animal infectious dose50 (AID50) was determined by Reed-Muench to be 1 .8χ 105AnL. At week 20 group 1 , 2, 3 and 5 animals plus eight naϊve animals (group 4) were challenged i.v. with 1 mL of a 1/10,000 dilution (corresponding to 18 MID50, 5.8x104 RNA equivalents/ml, and 22.4 and 0.3 TCID50 as measured on C8166-CCR5 cells and rhesus PBMC, respectively) of SHIV-SF162P4/C. Measurement of viral load post viral challenge
Viral load was measured in the animals up to 10 weeks apost SHIV challenge with weekly intervals. The viral load was measured by measuring reverse trancriptase activity in plasma using the ExaVir® Load version 2 kit (Cavidi Tech AB, Uppsala, Sweden) as described by Kiepla et al. Nat. Med. (2007) 13:46-532 and translated to RNA equivalents/ml.
The peak viral load (2-3 weeks post-challenge) was significantly lower only in group 2 macaques (p<0.05), which were immunized with all vaccine components, compared with the unimmunized animals (figure 4A). Group 1 and 5 macaques showed peak viral load at week 3 after infection (in 6/8 and 4/6, respectively), similar to those in the control group 4 (6/8). Group 3 animals however, reached a peak viral load 2 weeks after infection (7/8 animals), followed by a faster fall in the viral load. The cumulative viral load over the 10 week period was then determined and this showed similarly that only group 2 macaques had a significantly lower viral load compared with the unimmunized group 4 animals (figure 4B). Two of the 8 macaques in this group remained uninfected and if these are removed the peak (p=0.017) and cumulative (p=0.049) viral load still show a significant decrease in the 6 animals. These results suggest that all vaccine components are required to prevent or inhibit viral infection, as demonstrated in group 2 macaques. The other 3 immunized groups of animals either lacked HIVgp140 and SIVgag p27 (group 1 ) or HLA-I and Il antigens (group 3) or the Titermax adjuvant (group 5).
Measurement of HLA-I and HLA-II antibodies in serum from immunized animals The Luminex HLA antibody method was used to assay specific antibodies to the 5 immunizing HLA-class I and 1 HLA-class Il antigens. The sera were initially screened for the presence, or absence, of antibodies specific to HLA Class I or Class Il molecules using the Luminex bead based technology (kits from OneLambda Inc.).
Briefly, these kits consist of 12 separate bead groups coated with a number of HLA Class I molecules and 5 separate bead groups coated with a number of HLA Class Il molecules. They contain all the common, and many of the rare, HLA specificities. The
HLA molecules for these beads are isolated from the surface of donor cells and attached by covalent bonds to the luminex beads. Two internal control bead groups, one negative (NC) and one positive (PC) provide background binding information and ensure the test is performing correctly. The beads are incubated with the test sera for 30 minutes, washed, to remove any unbound antibodies and proteins, and then incubated for a further 30 minutes with an appropriate PE conjugated anti-human (IgG) antibody. The beads are then passed through the Luminex analyser, where the level of luminescence from any bound PE is detected and recorded as the Median Fluorescence Index or MFI. The results are analysed by the kit-specific HLA Visual software (OneLambda). The calculation used for screening is:
Test bead Ratio = MFI of Test bead with test sample - MFI of Test bead with Neq control / Internal test sample NC bead - Internal Neg control NC bead The calculated ratio then serves as the result for each bead, the current cut-off values are ratio >1 .3 for class I and >2.5 for class II. The screening results are recorded as either 'positive' or 'negative', with a score representing the number of beads groups showing positivity.
The sera were initially screened neat, and any positive samples were then screened at 1 :100 dilutions (in human AB serum) and again, any positive samples were further tested at 1 :1000 dilution. The sera were then tested for the specificity of any HLA antibodies present using Luminex bead based single antigen screening, again, with kits from OneLambda Inc. These kits use the same luminex beads but with 99 bead groups used in the Class I specific kit and 85 in the Class Il specific kit. Here each bead group is coated with molecules of a single HLA specificity. The HLA molecules for these kits are recombinant in nature, which may effect their final conformation. The sera were tested at 1 :1000 dilution, in human AB serum, to reduce non-specific background binding to the beads. The analysis was again performed using the HLA Visual software and the results are presented as MFI in which the internal negative control MFI is subtracted. MFI >1000 was recorded as specific HLA antibody to the antigen coated bead.
High antibody levels were elicited to all the immunizing HLA-I and Il recombinant antigens at a serum dilution of 1 :100 in groups 1 , 2 and 5 and these were absent in the pre-immunization sera. These antibodies were not detected in group 3 (without HLA antigens) or in the unimmunized group 4 animals. However, at a serum dilution of 1 :1000 only groups 1 and 2 showed significant antibody levels expressed as MFI (figure 5).
As the recombinant HLA antigens were not previously used for immunization, the sera from groups 1 and 2 were analysed by the Luminex HLA multibead antibody (LHMA) for HLA class I and II. Significant correlation was found between antibodies to HLA- DR4 immunizing antigen and the LHMA assay with sera from both group 1 (p=0.009) and group 2 (p=0.028) immunized macaques ( figure 6A, B). Whereas antibodies to all 5 HLA-I and the HLA-2 immunizing antigens showed significant correlation with the LHAM assay in group 2 (figure 6B, D; range p=0.017-p=0.0002), this was not found in the sera from group 1 animals (figure 6A, C, representative illustrations of HLA-I A02). These results are consistent with the recombinant HLA-I and Il construct expressing conformational structures recognized by the LHMA assay in group 2 sera (figure 6C). The significance of HLA-class I antibodies was strengthened by the significant inverse correlation of group 2 macaques with the peak viral load of all 5 HLA-I alleles (p=from 0.01 to 0.0001 ) and with the cumulative viral load of HLA-A1 , A2 and A24 (p=from 0.045 to 0.0004). However, HLA-DR4 antibodies failed to show any correlation with the viral load. HLA-I antibodies were also significantly correlated with the neutralizing activity (see below) in group 2 (p=0.032), and so did HLA-II antibodies (p=0.025).
Measurement of Neutralizing activity of sera from immunized macaques Macaque sera obtained at time points before, during, and after the immunization regime were tested for their relative in vitro neutralizing activity against the challenge virus SHIV.SF162 P4. Macaque sera were tested for their neutralization activity against SHIV.SF162 P4 propagated on C8166.CCR5 cells, using a TZM-bl based assay. Neutralization activity in serum was analyzed both in the presence of complement, using serum from a healthy AB+ blood donor as a source of complement, and in the absence of complement, using heat-inactivated AB+ serum. To inhibit replication of the virus in TZM-bl cells, a final concentration of 1 μM indinavir (AIDS reagent program #8145) was added to Iscove's modified Dulbecco medium supplemented with 10% AB+ serum, penicillin (100 U/ml), streptomycin (100 μg/ml), and DEAE dextran (37.5 μg/ml).
TZM-bl cells were seeded one day in advance at 4.000 cells per well. A final inoculum of 20 TCID50 SHIV.SF162 P4 in a volume of 50 μl was incubated for 1 h at 37QC with twofold serial dilutions of macaque serum (range 1 :40 — 1 :1280), and was then added to the TZM-bl cells. Peptide competition assays were performed as described above, except that serum dilutions were pre-incubated with BaL V3 peptide (TRPNNNTRKSIHIGPGRAFYTTG) or scrambled peptide
(NKGTHNIPTARNIYGFPTSRRGT) at a final concentration of 20 μg/ml for 30 min at 37°C before the addition of virus. After 4 h incubation at 37QC, TZM-bl cells were washed once with 150 μl phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), and subsequently replenished in 200 μl IMDM supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum, penicillin (100 U/ml), streptomycin (100 μg/ml), and DEAE dextran (37.5 μg/ml). After 48 hours, the cells were again washed in 150 μl PBS. Next, 25 μl freshly prepared luciferase substrate (0.83 mM ATP, 0.83 mM d-luciferin [Duchefa Biochemie B. V., Haarlem, The Netherlands], 18.7 mM MgCI2, 0.78 μM Na2H2P2O7, 38.9 mM Tris [pH 7.8], 0.39% [vol/vol] glycerol, 0.03% [vol/vol] Triton X-100, and 2.6 μM dithiothreitol) was added and luminescence was measured for 1 s per well. Experiments were performed in triplicate. For calculations, the background luciferase expression was subtracted from the relative light units (RLU) of the test wells. The percent neutralization was calculated by determining the reduction in luciferase expression in the presence of neutralizing agent compared to the cultures with virus only. When possible, 50% inhibitory concentrations (IC50) were determined by linear regression. For calculations, viruses with IC50S of <40 or >1280 were assigned a value of 20 or 1280, respectively.
Sera from group 1 and group 2 macaques, both immunized with HLA-I and Il containing vaccine, neutralizing activity was observed only in the presence of complement, indicating that the anti-viral activity in these sera may have been mediated by anti-HLA antibodies (figure 7A). In contrast, sera from group 3 animals, immunized with HIVgp140 and SIVp27 but not with HLA antigens yielded significant neutralizing activity without (figure 7B) or with (figure 7A) complement. Neutralizing activity in serum became detectable after the second immunization, and was enhanced in some but not all animals after the third and/or fourth immunization. No inhibition of a VSV-G pseudotyped HIV variant was observed by group 1 and group 2 sera in the presence of complement (data not shown), indicating that the observed neutralizing activity in group 1 and group 2 sera was not the result of an effect of these sera on the viability of the target cells in the neutralization assay. Furthermore, neutralizing activity of sera from 5/8 group 3 animals was inhibited in the presence of BaL V3 peptides, suggesting that the activity in these sera may be directed against the viral envelope. In contrast, the neutralizing activity in sera from group 2 animals was not reduced in the presence of BaL V3 peptides. Together with the lack of neutralizing activity in group 2 sera in the absence of complement, these results indicate that the immunization regime in group 2 animals has not elicited anti-Env neutralizing antibodies at levels that can be detected in this assay. However, the neutralization titers of sera from group 3 animals were lower compared to titers of sera from group 1 and 2 animals. Neutralization activity of sera from group 5 animals obtained after the last immunization was only slightly enhanced in the presence of complement compared to sera from the control animals (figure 7A), suggesting that the Titermax adjuvant was essential for the development of a potent neutralizing activity.
The next point addressed was whether the differential peak and cumulative viral load after challenge in the 5 groups of macaques, may have been the result of inhibition of the challenge virus SHIV SF162.P4 by the neutralizing activity elicited in response to immunization. To this end, we examined any correlation between the complement dependent neutralizing activity IC50 of sera obtained at the time of viral challenge against SHIV.SF162 P4 and the viral load at several time points after viral challenge. The neutralizing activity showed significant inverse correlation with the peak viral load only in group 2 animals (P = 0.043, figure 7C) suggesting that the presence of anti-viral activity in serum may have influenced the early stages of viral replication. The cumulative viral load, however failed to be significantly correlated with the neutralizing activity (figure 7D). It is noteworthy that the neutralizing activity was also significantly correlated with HLA-class I antibodies only in group 2 sera (n=0.032), unlike those of HLA-class 2, which showed significant correlation with sera in group 1 (p=0.025) and 2 (p=0.006).
These data demonstrates that a pharmamer vaccine composition comprising 5 different biologically active molecules (HLA l-peptide complexes, HLA Il molecule, SIVp27, truncated HSP70 and gp140trimer) attached to one or more of 4 Dextran270 multimerization domains can induce an immune response against SHIV. Systemic immunization (SC x4) with a vaccine composition comprising 4 pharmamers compricing 1 -3 of the 5 biologically active molecules denoted above and comprising the adjuvant Titermax Gold in group 2 macaques elicited a significant decrease in both the peak viral load 2-3 weeks after IV challenge with SHIV SF162.P4 and the cumulative viral load over the whole period of 10 weeks (p<0.05). Two of the 8 animals remained uninfected. HLA-class I and Il proteins were essential in protecting the macaques as Group 3 animals immunized without them showed no protection. This indicates that such af pharmamer vaccine composition could be used for prophylactic treatment against HIV infection in uninfected individuals.
Example 8
This is an example of generation of a pharmamers that can be used in a vaccine composition for treatment of SIV/HIV.
4 different vaccine compositions are generated comprising between 1 -4 pharmamers whereto 3-5 different biological active molecules are attached. The multimerization domain in all pharmamers is Streptavidin (SA) coupled Dextran (27OkDa) and the biologically active molecules are attached to the SA-Dextran backbone by a non- covalent interaction between SA and biotin on the biologically active molecules. In the following generation of the individual components in the pharmamers are described:
Generation of multimerization domain:
Dextran270 are coupled with SA using the following procedure. Divinyl sulfone acid activated Dextran270 are mixed with SA in a molar ratio of 1 :13 (Dextran270:SA) in buffer ( 0,025 M NaHCO3, 0.1 M NaCI) for 2 hours at 40<€. The final concentration of Dextran270 was 6 uM. Then the reaction was stopped by adding 10 vol% 0.165 M Cystein, incubation for 30 minutes at 40 °C. Excess SA was removed by gelfiltration on a Superdex 200-column and the buffer exchanged to 0,1 M NaCI; 10 mM CHES; pH 9.0. The final product has between 8 and 9 SA molecules per Dextran molecule in average.
Generation of biotinylated biologically active molecules:
Four different biotinylated MHC l-peptide complexes are generated: HLA-A*0101 (IVDCLTEMY )SEQ ID NO 9588), HLA-A*1 101 (IVTDFSVIK)SEQ ID NO
9589), HLA-A*0201 (GLIQLVEGV) SEQ ID NO 9590, HLA-A*0301 (RIAAWMATY) SEQ ID NO 9591.
The protein coding sequences minus the signal peptide and transmembrane regions of all of the 4 human MHC class 1 heavy chain molecules are obtained from GenBank and the sequence backtranslated according to E.coli codon usage using www.entelechon.com. The gene is synthesized e.g. by PCR using 10 overlapping DNA primers (DNA Technology, Denmark) and KOD polymerase (EMD Chemicals, Novagen). Sequence is verified by repeated DNA sequencing (MWG Biotech, Ebersberg, Germany) and base errors introduced is corrected using Quick Change multi site-directed mutagenesis kit (Stratagene, La JoIIa, CA) before cloning in pGarboczi (Garboczi et al 1992). A a DNA-sequence encoding a C-terminal Cystein residue is introduced by site directed mutagenesis. Human beta2Microblulin (β2m) (GenBank ace # CAG33347.1 ) is acquired and cloned. Recombinant MHC 1 heavy chain and β2m protein is produced by fermentation, isolated and purified by column chromatography. MHC-peptide complexes aregenerated by in vitro refolding of heavy chain, β2m and peptide in a buffer containing reduced and oxidized glutathione as described for generation of MHC l-peptide complexes in example 6. Following refolding the MHC complexes are chemically biotinylated on the C-terminal cystein residue by treating them with Maleimide-biotin (EZ-link Maleimide-PEO2-Biotin). The reaction can be carried out in PBS, PH 7.0 for 21/2 hour at 4^, with a Maleimide-biotin: MHC-peptide molar ratio equal to 1.5 (1 ,6 ug Maleimide-biotin per 100 ug B*0801 -cys-peptide complex). Excess Maleimide-biotin are removed and the buffer optionally exchanged to e.g. 20 mM Tris-HCI, 50 mM NaCI, pH 8.0 by gel filtration in a G-25 column. Efficiency of biotinylation may be determined using a SDS PAGE shift assay with SA. 1 ug Maleimide-biotin treated MHC-peptide complex is incubated with 1.8 ug SA in 12 ul PBS, pH 7.0 for 1 hour at room temperature. Then the sample is analyzed by SDS PAGE together with samples of various concentrations of Maleimide-biotin treated B*0801 -cys-peptide complex not incubated with SA and a sample with SA alone. The degree of biotinylation is estimated by comparing amount of monomer MHC-peptide complex when incubated with SA and without SA.
Generation of biotinylated SIVp27, trimer qp140, DR4 and truncated HSP70 molecules. Trimeric HIVgp140, DR4, C-terminal fragment of HSP70 and SIVp27 molecules are generated as described in example 6 but with the following modification. A C-terminal cystein are introduced in all molecules e.g. by introducing DNA bases encoding Cystein in the C-terminal of the molecules e.g. by sitedirected mutagenesis or by PCR with primers encoding a C-terminal cystein. Following expression, folding and purification of these molecules as dscribed in example 6 the molecules are chemically biotinylated e.g. using the procedure described above for MJHC l-peptide complexes.
Linking the biologically active molecules to multimerization domain The following pharmamer constructs are made:
1 ) Dextran270 + HLA-A*0101 (IVDCLTEMY )(SEQ ID NO 9588) + DR4 + HSP70 (molar ratio 1 :10:10:4)
2) Dextran270 + HLA-A*0201 (GLIQLVEGV) (SEQ ID NO 9590) + HLA- A*0301 (RIAAWMATY) (SEQ ID NO 9591 ) + HSP70 (molar ratio 1 :10:10:4)
3) Dextran270 + HLA-A*1 101 (IVTDFSVIK)SEQ ID NO 9589) + HSP70 (molar ratio 1 :10:4) 4) Dextran270 + HIVgp140 + Sivp27 + HSP70 (molar ratio 1 :3:10:4)
The 4 constructs are made by mixing Dextran270 with the above said biotinylated biological molecules (HLA l-peptide complexes, DR4 molecules, trimeric HIVgp140, SIVp27 and/or HSP70 (359-609)) in molar ratios as described. The final concentration of Dextran is 0.005-0.1 M.
These pharmamers may be used in a composition for vaccination of individuals with HIV or vaccination of healthy individuals for preventing infection with HIV, e.g. as described in example 7.
Example 9
This is an example of generation of a pharmamers that can be used in a vaccine composition for treatment of a viral infection.
Different vaccine compositions are generated comprising between one or more pharmamers whereto 1 -8 different biological active molecules are attached. One or more of the biologically active molecules may derive from the virus in question. One or more other biologically active molecules may be immunologically active molecules. The multimerization domain in all pharmamers is Streptavidin (SA) coupled Dextran (27OkDa) and the biologically active molecules are attached to the SA-Dextran backbone by a non-covalent interaction between SA and biotin on the biologically active molecules.
Generation of biologically active molecules
The biologically active molecules are generated by cloning, expression and purification in suitable expression systems known by persons skilled in the art. A C-terminal cystein residue is introduced in all molecules by fusing the dNA sequence encoding the biological molecules in question to a DNA sequence encoding a cystein residue. Following purification of the biologically active molecules they are chemically biotinylated e.g. using the procedure described in example 6.
Generation of multimerization domain:
Dextran270 or another larger or smaller Dextran molecule are activated with Divinyl sulfone acid and coupled with SA using a procedure like the one described in example 6. The amount of SA molecules coupled to the Dextran may be adjusted by altering the molar ratio between activated Dextran and SA during coupling. Linking the biologically active molecules to multimerization domain Biotinylated biologically activated molecules are attached to the SA-Dextran by incubation at room temperature for 10 minutes or longer. The amount of each molecule attached to the SA-Dextran may be adjusted by adjusting the molar ratio between SA- Dextran and the biologically actibe molecule and/or the ratio between the individual biologically active molecules. or HSP70 (359-609)) in molar ratios as described. The final concentration of Dextran is 0.005-0.1 M.
Such pharmamers may be used in a composition for vaccination of individuals with a viral infection or vaccination of healthy individuals for preventing infection with the virus in quetion, e.g. following a procedure as described in example 7 or elsewhere herein.
Example 10 This is an example of how pharmamers with MHC-peptide complexes attached can be used as a borrelia vaccine for monkeys.
The vaccine is composed of a Dextran (270 kDa) multimerization domain that has been derivatized by attaching Strepavidin (on average 8.6 Strepavidin molecules/Dextran molecule). Attached to the carrier are human HLA class 1 and 2 molecules containing antigenic peptides derived from the Borrelia antigen Basic membrane protein A (BmpA). The attached HLA-peptide complexes are:
HLA-A*0201 (YLAPDNVIT), HLA-A*0101 (YSDEIDIIH), HLA-B*0702(APDNVITST), HLA-DRB1 *0401 (IELVLKESSSNSYLS), HLA-BRB1 *1501 (MNKILLLILLESIVF) and
HLA-DRB1 *1 101 (SDLIWLIGYRFSDVA).
A single full dose of the final vaccine corresponds to, 100 μg of each MHC class 1 ; 1 13,5 ug of HLA class 2; 3x25.8 μg HSP70 and 3x162.2 μg dextran (corresponding to a total of approx 300 μg MHC multimer/kg body weight for a monkey of 3.5 kg) and consist of a 1 :1 :1 mixture of the following three MHC multimers:
MHC multimer 1 :
HLA-A*0101 (YSDEIDIIH) + HLA-DR*0401 (IELVLKESSSNSYLS) + HSP70 + Dextran carrier, in the molar ratio 10/10/4/1 MHC multimer 2:
HLA-A*0201 (YLAPDNVIT) + HLA-DR4I SOI (MNKILLLILLESIVF) + HSP70 + Dextran carrier, in the molar ratio"! 0/10/4/1
MHC multimer 2:
HLA-B*0702(APDNVITST) + HLA-DRB1 *1 101 (SDLrWLIGYRFSDVA) +
HSP70 + Dextran carrier, in the molar ratiol 0/10/4/1
Administration:
The MHC multimer mix is emulsified with the adjuvant Titermax Gold as specified by the manufacturer and administered as intramuscular injections at time points 0, 4, 8, and
16 weeks such that a full dose is given at 0 weeks and half-full dose at 4, 8, and 16 5 weeks. This vaccine may give protection against infection with Borrelia bacteria.
The biological effect of the vaccination may be determined using immune monitoring assays.
A pharmamer composition as described above may also be used for vaccination of human against Borrelia infecetion. In humans the adjuvant Titermax Gold should be replaced with an adjuant for human use.
Example 11
This is an example of how pharmamers with MHC-peptide complexes attached can be used as a borrelia vaccine for monkeys.
The vaccine is composed of an antigen presenting cell (APC) e.g. a Dendritic cell expressing the HLA class 1 molecules HLA-A*0101 and HLA-B*0702. The APC is loaded with antigenic peptides derived from the Borrelia protein Basic membrane protein A (BmpA) by incubation with the peptides for 2-5 hours at 37QC. The amino acid sequence of the peptides are YSDEIDIIH and APDNVITST.
Administration:
The peptide loaded APC are added the adjuvant Titermax Gold as specified by the manufacturer and administered as intramuscular injections at time points 0, 4, 8, and 16 weeks. This vaccine may give protection against infection with Borrelia bacteria. The biological effect of the vaccination may be determined using immune monitoring assays as described elsewhere herein
A pharmamer composition as described above may also be used for vaccination of human against Borrelia infecetion. In humans the adjuvant Titermax Gold should be replaced with an adjuant for human use.
