Definitions
- the present invention falls within the field of veterinary medicine, in particular with the control of infestations by ectoparasites and the transmission of their associated pathogens. Such control is achieved through the use of a P0 ribosomal protein peptide in the manufacture of vaccine compositions. Vaccine formulations comprising said peptide confer protection without generating autoimmunity in the host organism.
- Terrestrial hematophagous ectoparasites such as mosquitoes, fleas and ticks are vectors for the transmission of infectious agents that cause disease. Some of these diseases directly affect the human being and / or his affective animals, while others are the cause of large economic losses in the agricultural sphere. Examples of diseases that are transmitted by ectoparasites are malaria, leishmaniasis, dengue, erythrocytosis and Lyme disease. Ticks are considered the second transmitters of diseases to humans, after mosquitoes (Parola P. and Raoult D .; Clin. Microbiol. Infect. 2001, 7: 80-83).
- Tick-borne hemoparasitic infections cause annual losses on the order of billions of US dollars within the livestock industry, fundamentally affecting bovine production in tropical and subtropical areas.
- diseases in this regard are anaplasmosis, babesiosis, Lyme disease (produced by Borrelia burdogferi) and the so-called East Coast Fever (produced by Theiler ⁇ a parva).
- Ectoparasites known as sea lice constitute the most widespread marine pathogen in the last 30 years in the salmon industry, extending over the past 15 years to other fish species in culture and to wild salmonid populations (Pike, AW and Wadsworth, SL Advances in Parasitology 2000, 44: 233-337, Ragias, V. et al. Aquaculture 2004, 242: 727-733).
- the greatest economic losses are caused by the organisms of the genus Caligus and Lepeophtheirus.
- sea lice can cause physiological changes in their hosts, which include the development of a stress response, the reduction of immune functions, failure in osmoregulation and death, if the infection is not treated (Johnson, SC, et al. Zool Studies 2004, 43: 8-19). There is also some evidence to suggest that sea lice could constitute vectors for the transmission of infections caused by viruses and bacteria to fish (Barker, ED, er a. Parasitology Research 2009, 105: 1173-1177).
- Vaccination is considered a promising alternative for the control of ectoparasite infestations from the point of view of its efficacy, environmental safety and economic sustainability.
- DNA dexosiribonucleic acid
- vitelogenin-like molecules and host adhesion proteins have also been studied (Johnson, SC et al. Zool Studies 2004, 43: 8-19; Boxaspen, K. ICES Journal of Marine Science 2006, 63: 1304-1316) , but due to little knowledge of the mechanisms and pathology of salmon infestation by sea lice, the identification of targets for the prevention and treatment of this infestation have not been successful. In any case, the results of research carried out in the evaluation of different vaccine candidates in immunization tests have shown that the combined use of several molecules, involved in different physiological processes, constitutes a feasible method to control infestations by ectoparasites.
- P proteins contain a conserved C-terminal region of approximately 17 amino acids, whose last six residues are highly conserved, which forms the basis of reactivity Cross immunological between them and with the P proteins of other species.
- the P0 protein is essential for the assembly of the 60S ribosomal subunit, where it binds directly to P1, P2, the 28S rRNA and the eEF2 factor. Its absence leads to the generation of deficient ribosomes of the 60S subunit, which are inactive for protein synthesis, leading to cell death.
- the ribosomal protein P0 in particular, constitutes a promising vaccine candidate against several protozoa and bacteria. It was immunogenic as a recombinant antigen (either using the complete protein or the C-terminal region consisting of the last 11-16 amino acids) or by immunization with naked DNA, against Toxoplasma gondii, Neospora caninum (Zhang H. ef al. Mol. Biochem. Parasitol 2007, 153: 141-148), Trypanosoma cruzi (Skeiky YA et al. J.

- Example 10 Determination of the protective capacity of the L. salmonis pPO (pPOLs).
- 80 salmon with an average weight of 80 g were distributed in 4 groups of 20 fish each.
- Two groups were injected intraperitoneally (ip) with the POLs-KLH conjugate, at a dose of 10 ⁇ g of the conjugate / g body weight of salmon (equivalent to 5 ⁇ g of pP0Ls / g of salmon weight), formulated in the oily adjuvant Montanide 888.
- the other two groups were negative controls immunized with 5 ⁇ g of KLH / g body weight, adjuvant in Montanide 888.
- the salmon After 500 arbitrary thermal units, the salmon adapted to seawater and were infested with 2000 ⁇ 200 copepoditos per pond.
- the challenge was carried out under conditions of darkness, constant aeration, support oxygenation, temperature control (15-17 ° C) and salinity (approx. 30 ppm).
- temperature control 15-17 ° C
- salinity approximately 15 ppm
- the flow of water in the ponds was kept closed and manual replacement was carried out every 48 hours. in addition to that 220 ⁇ sieves were installed in the drain pipes.
- the time of inclusion of the copepodites was defined as day 0. These conditions were maintained for 40 days from the start of the challenge.
- EYLADPSKFASVAAAPAAGA were conjugated to KLH. Although all peptides conferred protection, the best results were obtained with the peptide corresponding to the last 20 amino acids of pPOLs.
- Example 11 Determination of the protective capacity of the C. rogercresseyi P0 protein peptide (pPOCr) fused to promiscuous T epitopes and the pPOCr-KLH conjugate.
- the immunogenic capacity of the pPOCr-KLH conjugate and of the pPOCr fused to other immunopotentiating molecules such as promiscuous T epitopes was evaluated.
- the ttP2 epitopes of the toxoid were also used Tetanus and the T-cell epitope of measles virus (TT-MVF).
- TT-MVF measles virus
- pastor ⁇ s strain MP36 transformed with a plasmid containing a copy of the coding sequence for the fused pPOCr at its N-terminal end at two copies of the Promiscuous T epitopes under the control of the alcohol oxidase 1 promoter (AOX 1), all preceded by the secretion signal of sucrose invertase from S. cerevisiae (ssUC2). Expression levels were estimated at approximately 150 mg / L of culture.
- this polypeptide obtained recombinantly, as a vaccine antigen was evaluated and compared with the effects of the pPOCr-KLH conjugate.
- 120 salmon with an average weight of 80 g were distributed in 6 groups, of 20 fish each.
- the experimental groups were:
- Groups 1 and 2 They were injected via i.p. with the pPOCr-KLH conjugate, at a dose of 10 ⁇ g / g body weight (equivalent to 5 ⁇ g of pPOCr / g weight).
- Groups 3 and 4 They were injected via i.p. with KLH, at a dose of 5 ⁇ g / g of weight.
- Groups 5 v 6 They were injected via i.p. with the chimeric protein TT-MVF-pP0Cr, at a dose of 5 ⁇ g / g in weight.
- the immunogen was formulated in the oily adjuvant Montanide 888.
- the experimental procedure was similar to that of Example 10, only in this case as the sea rooster C. rogercresseyi has a shorter life cycle, at 24 days (after completing two life cycles of the parasite) the fish were eliminated, by an anesthetic overdose, and the results were evaluated by means of the parasite count.
- the following table shows the results that showed a significant decrease in the number of parasites per fish in the groups vaccinated with pPOCr-KLH and TT-MVF-pP0Cr, compared to the negative controls vaccinated only with KLH. The highest protection, evaluated as the number of parasites / fish, was observed in the TT-MVF-pP0Cr group.
- Table 4 Results of the parasite count at the conclusion of the challenge experiment.
- Example 12 Determination of the immunogenicity of pPOCr fused to the my32 polypeptide.
- the chimeric peptide my32-pP0Cr was generated, using the same procedure described in the previous examples for all fusion proteins.
- the plasmid with which P. pastoris strain MP36 was transformed contained a copy of the pPOCr fused by its N-terminal end to a copy of my32, under the control of the AOX 1 promoter, preceded by the secretion signal ssSUC2.
- the chimeric my32-pP0Cr peptide was detected in the culture supernatant at a concentration of approximately 135 mg / L of culture.
- Groups 1 v 2 They were injected with the pPOCr-KLH conjugate at a dose of 10 ⁇ g g body weight (equivalent to 5 g POCr / g weight).
- Groups 3 v 4 They were injected with KLH at a dose of 5 ⁇ g / g body weight.
- Groups 5 v 6 They were injected with the chimeric protein my32-pP0Cr, at a dose of 5 g / g weight.
- Groups 7 v 8 They were injected with the my32 protein, obtained recombinantly, at a dose of 5 ⁇ g g. All animals received the immunogen via ip and adjuvant in Montanide 888. The experimental procedure followed was the same as in Example 11. Table 5 shows the results of sampling at 24 days post-challenge, which show a significant decrease in number of parasites per fish in the groups vaccinated with pPOCr-KLH, my32-pP0Cr and my32, compared to animals inoculated only with KLH. The highest protection, evaluated as the number of parasites / fish, was observed in the my32-pP ⁇ Cr group.
