Definitions
- the invention refers to genetic engineering and can be used in biotechnology, medicine as a DNA vaccine for human vaccination against SARS-CoV-2 virus.
- Vaccines are divided into the following types, depending on the production methods thereof:
- LAV live attenuated vaccines
- inactivated vaccines IV (influenza, typhoid fever, tick-borne encephalitis, rabies, hepatitis A, meningococcal disease, etc.),
- vaccines containing purified components of microorganisms anatoxins, toxoids, e.g. pertussis, diphtheria, tetanus
- recombinant vaccines containing components of microorganisms obtained via genetic engineering techniques including DNA vaccines (recombinant hepatitis B vaccine).
- Recombinant DNA-derived vaccine (also known as DNA vaccine, gene vaccine, nucleic acid vaccine) is a genetically engineered construct based, inter alia, on a double-stranded plasmid (plasmid vector, DNA vector, gene therapy DNA vector) carrying the DNA sequence encoding the immunologically relevant protein of the pathogenic microorganism (or tumour antigen DNA) and regulatory genetic elements that ensure the expression of the protein encoded in the cell. Plasmids are produced using the cloning in the bacterial cell culture ( E . colt ), purified from impurities and other bacterial DNA (Anderson R. J.; Schneider J. Plasmid DNA and viral vector-based vaccines for the treatment of cancer (Eng) // Vaccine (Eng)Ru : journal.
- plasmid vector DNA vector, gene therapy DNA vector
- Plasmids are produced using the cloning in the bacterial cell culture ( E . colt ), purified from impurities and other bacterial DNA (Anderson R. J.; Schneider J
- DNA vaccines are the expression of viral agents in their native form. During immunisation with viral proteins, in the process of their production and purification, a three-dimensional protein structure may be changed (misfolding), which will reduce the effectiveness of immunisation.
- DNA vaccines are significantly superior to live attenuated vaccines or certain recombinant vaccines based on live virus vectors for safety, since the body only produces a single specific protein that featured antigenic properties but is unable to cause disease on its own.
- DNA vaccines include the following: the expressed antigen can be selectively targeted to HLA-I or HLA-II pathway; long-term antigen expression; ease of production and low production cost; modest storage requirements; can be used both for prevention and treatment; potentially effective against a wide range of diseases, including bacterial, viral, autoimmune, and oncological diseases.
- S protein (spike protein; protein that forms "spikes”) is the most promising in terms of development of vaccines, including DNA vaccines.
- this protein is exposed on the virus surface and is directly recognised by the immune system.
- ACE2 receptor human angiotensin converting enzyme 2
- S protein fragments feature immunogenic properties (Zhu, X.; Liu, Q.; Du, L.; Lu, L.; Jiang, S. Receptor-binding domain as a target for developing SARS vaccines. J. Thorac. Dis. 2013, 5 (Suppl. 2), S142-S148).

- the background of the invention indicates that DNA vaccines have the potential for large-scale vaccination of the population, in particular against SARS-CoV-2.
- a DNA vaccine as a composition of gene therapy DNA vectors GDTT1.8NAS12-S, GDTT1.8NAS12-M, and GDTT1.8NAS12-N based on gene therapy DNA vector GDTT1.8NAS12 encoding immunogenic epitopes of S, M, and N proteins of SARS-CoV-2 virus was developed within this patent.
- Gene therapy vectors are divided into viral, cell, and DNA vectors (Guideline on the quality, non-clinical, and clinical aspects of gene therapy medicinal Products EMA/CAT/80183/2014). Recently, gene therapy has paid increasingly more attention to the development of non-viral gene delivery systems with plasmid vectors topping the list. Plasmid vectors are free of limitations inherent in cell and viral vectors. In the target cell, they exist as an episome without being integrated into the genome, while producing them is quite cheap, and there is no immune response or side effects caused by the administration of plasmid vectors, which makes them a convenient tool for gene therapy and prevention of the genetic diseases (DNA vaccination) (Li L, Petrovsky N. // Expert Rev Vaccines. 2016;15(3):313-29).
- plasmid vectors use in gene therapy and DNA vaccination are: 1) presence of antibiotic resistance genes for the production of constructs in bacterial strains; 2) the presence of various regulatory elements represented by sequences of viral genomes; 3) length of therapeutic plasmid vector that determines the efficiency of vector delivery to the target cell.
- antibiotic resistance genes also make a fundamental contribution to the method of production of DNA vectors. If antibiotic resistance genes are present, strains for the production of DNA vectors are usually cultured in medium containing a selective antibiotic, which poses risk of antibiotic traces in insufficiently purified DNA vector preparations. Thus, production of DNA vectors for gene therapy without antibiotic resistance genes is associated with the production of strains with such distinctive feature as the ability for stable amplification of therapeutic DNA vectors in the antibiotic-free medium.
- the European Medicines Agency recommends avoiding the presence of regulatory elements in therapeutic plasmid vectors to increase the expression level of therapeutic genes (promoters, enhancers, post- translational regulatory elements) that constitute nucleotide sequences of genomes of various viruses (Draft Guideline on the quality, non-clinical and clinical aspects of gene therapy medicinal products, http://www.ema.europa.eu/docs/en_GB/document_library/Scientific_ guideline/2015/2017WC500187020.pdf). Although these sequences can increase the expression level of the therapeutic transgene, however, they pose risk of recombination with the genetic material of wild-type viruses and integration into the eukaryotic genome.
- the size of the therapy vector is also essential. It is known that modern plasmid vectors often have unnecessary, non-functional sites that increase their length substantially (Mairhofer J, Grabherr R. // Mol Biotechnol. 2008.39(2):97-104).
- ampicillin resistance gene in pBR322 series vectors as a rule, consists of at least 1000 bp, which is more than 20% of the length of the vector itself. A reverse relationship between the vector length and its ability to penetrate into eukaryotic cells is observed; DNA vectors with a small length effectively penetrate into human and animal cells.
- DNA vector when selecting a DNA vector, for reasons of safety and maximum effectiveness, preference should be given to those constructs that do not contain antibiotic resistance genes, the sequences of viral origin and length of which allows for the effective penetration into eukaryotic cells.
- a strain for production of such DNA vector in quantities sufficient for the purposes of gene therapy should ensure the possibility of stable DNA vector amplification using antibiotic-free nutrient media.
- Example of usage of DNA vectors for immunisation is the method of producing plasmid vectors for DNA vaccination in order to induce a protective immune response against influenza virus under patent US 10363302.
- the vectors are plasmids carrying sequences encoding the hemagglutinin and neuraminidase genes of influenza virus under the control of different regulatory elements.
- the disadvantage of this invention is the presence of regulatory elements in the composition of DNA vector that constitute sequences of viral genomes and antibiotic resistance genes.
- Example of usage of the recombinant DNA vectors for DNA vaccination is the method of producing a recombinant vector for genetic immunisation under Patent No. US 9550998 B2.
- the vector is a supercoiled plasmid DNA vector that is used for the expression of cloned genes in human and animal cells.
- the vector contains an origin of replication, regulatory elements comprising human cytomegalovirus promoter and enhancer, and regulatory sequences from the human T-cell lymphotropic virus.
- the vector is accumulated in a dedicated E. coli strain free of antibiotics through antisense complementation of sacB gene inserted into the strain by means of bacteriophage.
- the disadvantage of this invention is the presence of regulatory elements in the composition of DNA vector that constitute sequences of viral genomes.
- Patent US 10548971 describes plasmid vectors as a vaccine for MERS CoV coronavirus, the causative agent of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome.
- the genes encoding the S protein sequences (Spike, protein that forms “spikes”) were cloned to pVAX1 plasmid vector (Life Technologies, USA).
- the disadvantage of this invention is the presence of sequences of viral origin and antibiotic resistance genes in the vector.
- Patent RU2678756 describes gene therapy DNA vector VTvaf17, method of its production; Escherichia coli strain SCS110-AF, method of its production; Escherichia coli strain SCS110-AFA/Tvaf17 carrying gene therapy DNA vector VTvaf17, method of its production.
- the disadvantage of this invention is the considerable length of the vector part, which may have an adverse effect on the efficiency of DNA vector delivery to cells.
- Patent RU 2332457 describes plasmid vectors comprising one, two or more pgsB, pgsC, and pgsA genes encoding a poly-gamma-glutamic acid synthetase complex, and a gene within the same frame with them encoding spike protein antigen (S) or nucleocapsid protein antigen (N) of SARS coronavirus (Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus).
- S spike protein antigen
- N nucleocapsid protein antigen
- the disadvantage of this invention is the uncertainty of the purposes of this invention and the vague safety requirements applied to the used vectors.
- Patent RU 2383621 describes a DNA vector for genetic immunisation consisting of several transcription units and including sequences encoding M, E, and S genes of SARS coronavirus.
- the disadvantage of this invention is the presence of regulatory elements in the composition of DNA vector that constitute sequences of viral genomes and antibiotic resistance genes.
- a significant disadvantage of this solution is the
- CoV-2 virus as a composition of gene therapy DNA vectors based on gene therapy DNA vector GDTT1.8NAS12, combining the following properties:
- DNA vaccine under Item I is ensured by including in its composition the optimal number of gene therapy DNA vectors based on the gene therapy DNA vector GDTT1.8NAS12 carrying sequences that encode the most immunogenic epitopes of SARS-CoV-2 proteins.
- This approach is desirable due to the fact that when constructing a single gene therapy DNA vector to which several sequences encoding immunogenic epitopes of SARS-CoV-2 proteins have been cloned, the expression level of therapeutic genes encoding viral antigens can be reduced due to an increase of the gene therapy vector length, which reduces the efficiency of DNA vector penetration into the cells.
- Item II and III are provided for herein in line with the recommendations of the state regulators for gene therapy medicines and, specifically, the requirement of the European Medicines Agency to refrain from adding antibiotic resistance marker genes to newly engineered plasmid vectors for gene therapy (Reflection paper on design modifications of gene therapy medicinal products during development / 14 December 2011
- the purpose of the invention also includes the construction of strains carrying gene therapy DNA vectors for the development and production of these gene therapy DNA vectors and DNA vaccines on an industrial scale.
- the specified purpose is achieved by constructing DNA vaccine as a composition of gene therapy DNA vectors GDTT1.8NAS12-S, GDTT1.8NAS12-M, and GDTT1.8NAS12-N based on gene therapy DNA vector GDTT1.8NAS12 encoding immunogenic epitopes of S, M, and N proteins of SARS-CoV-2 virus, wherein the gene therapy DNA vector GDTT1.8NAS12-S with the nucleotide sequence SEQ ID No. 1 contains the sequence encoding the immunogenic epitope of SARS-CoV-2 S protein cloned to the gene therapy DNA vector GDTT1.8NAS12, gene therapy DNA vector GDTT1.8NAS12-M with the nucleotide sequence SEQ ID No.
- Each of the constructed gene therapy DNA vectors included in the DNA vaccine namely GDTT1.8NAS12-S, GDTT1.8NAS12-M, and GDTT1.8NAS12-N has the ability to efficiently penetrate human and animal cells and express the therapeutic S protein of SARS-CoV-2 cloned to it, therapeutic M protein of SARS-CoV-2 cloned to it and therapeutic N protein of SARS-CoV-2 cloned to it due to the limited size of GDTT1.8NAS12 vector part not exceeding 2600 bp.
- each of the constructed gene therapy DNA vectors included in the DNA vaccine namely GDTT1.8NAS12-S, GDTT1.8NAS12-M, and GDTT1.8NAS12-N, uses nucleotide sequences that are not antibiotic resistance genes or regulatory elements of viral genomes are used as the structural elements, which ensures its safe use for gene therapy and human vaccination.
- the method of production of DNA vaccine as a composition of gene therapy DNA vectors GDTT1.8NAS12-S, GDTT1.8NAS12-M, and GDTT1.8NAS12-N based on gene therapy DNA vector GDTT1.8NAS12 encoding immunogenic epitopes of S, M, and N proteins of SARS-CoV-2 was also developed that involves obtaining of each of gene therapy DNA vectors: GDTT1.8NAS12-S, GDTT1.8NAS12-M, and GDTT1.8NAS12-N as follows: sequences encoding the immunogenic epitopes of S, M, N proteins of SARS- CoV-2 virus are cloned to the gene therapy DNA vector GDTT1.8NAS12, and gene therapy DNA vector GDTT1.8NAS12-S, SEQ ID No.
- GDTT1.8NAS12-M is obtained while the sequences of encoding immunogenic epitopes of S, M, and N proteins of SARS-CoV-2 are obtained by enzymatic synthesis from chemically synthesised oligonucleotides, followed by PCR amplification using the obtained oligonucleotides and cleaving the amplification product by corresponding restriction endonucleases, while cloning to gene therapy DNA vector GDTT1.8NAS12 is made by BamHI and EcoRI restriction sites, while the selection is performed without antibiotics; at the same time, the following oligonucleotides produced for this purpose are used during gene therapy DNA vector GDTT1.8NAS12-S, SEQ ID No. 1 production for the PCR amplification:

- Gene therapy DNA vectors encoding immunogenic epitopes of S, M, and N proteins of SARS-CoV-2 have been produced based on 2591 bp DNA vector GDTT1.8NAS12.
- the method of production of each gene therapy DNA vector is to clone sequences encoding immunogenic epitopes of S, M, and N proteins of SARS-CoV-2 obtained by enzymatic synthesis from chemically synthesised oligonucleotides followed by amplification to the polylinker of gene therapy DNA vector GDTT1.8NAS12. It is known that the ability of DNA vectors to penetrate into eukaryotic cells is due mainly to the vector size. DNA vectors with the smallest size have higher penetration capability.

The culture was incubated in an incubator shaker for 16 hours at 30°C.
- the seed culture was transferred to the Techfors S bioreactor (Infors HT, Switzerland) and grown to a stationary phase. The process was controlled by measuring optical density of the culture at 600nm.
- the cells were precipitated by centrifugation for 30 minutes at 5,000-10,000g. Supernatant was removed, and the cell precipitate was re-suspended in 10% (by volume) phosphate buffered saline. The cells were centrifuged again for 30 minutes at 5,000-10,000g. Supernatant was removed, a solution of 20mM TrisCI, 1mM EDTA, 200g/l sucrose, pH 8.0 was added to the cell precipitate in the volume of 1000ml, and the mixture was stirred thoroughly to a homogenised suspension.
- egg lysozyme solution was added to the final concentration of 100pg/ml.
- the mixture was incubated for 20 minutes on ice while stirring gently.
- 2500ml of 0.2M NaOH, 10g/I sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) was added, the mixture was incubated for 10 minutes on ice while stirring gently, then 3500ml of 3M sodium acetate, 2M acetic acid, pH 5-5.5 was added, and the mixture was incubated for 10 minutes on ice while stirring gently.
- the resulting sample was centrifuged for 20-30 minutes at 15,000g or a greater value.
- the solution was decanted delicately, and residual precipitate was removed by passing through a coarse filter (filter paper).
- RNase A (Sigma, USA) was added to the final concentration of 20pg/ml, and the solution was incubated overnight for 16 hours at room temperature. The solution was then centrifuged for 20-30 minutes at 15,000g and passed through a 0.45pm membrane filter (Millipore, USA). Then ultrafiltration was performed with a 100kDa membrane (Millipore, USA) and the mixture was diluted to the initial volume with a buffer solution of 25mM TrisCI, pH 7.0. This manipulation was performed three to four times. The solution was applied to the column with 250ml of DEAE Sepharose HP (GE, USA), equilibrated with 25mM TrisCI, pH 7.0.
- DEAE Sepharose HP GE, USA
- the elution process was controlled by measuring optical density of the run-off solution at 260nm, and the fractions were analysed by agarose gel electrophoresis.
- the fractions containing gene therapy DNA vector GDTT1.8NAS12-S were joined together and stored at - 20°C. To assess the process reproducibility, the indicated processing operations were repeated five times. All processing operations for Escherichia coli strain JM110-NAS/GDTT1.8NAS12-M, or Escherichia coli strain JM110-NAS/GDTT1.8NAS12-N were performed in a similar manner.
- the process reproducibility and quantitative characteristics of final product yield confirm the producibility and constructability of gene therapy DNA vectors GDTT1.8NAS12-S, GDTT1.8NAS12-M, and GDTT1.8NAS12-N on an industrial scale.
- gene therapy DNA vectors GDTT1.8NAS12-S, GDTT1.8NAS12-M, and GDTT1.8NAS12-N were mixed.
- solutions of gene therapy DNA vectors GDTT1.8NAS12-S, GDTT1.8NAS12- N, GDTT1.8NAS12-M were diluted with 0.9% NaCI to a concentration of 1 mg/ml, then the solutions of gene therapy DNA vectors were mixed in MR Hei-Tec magnetic stirrer (Heidolph, Germany) at 50rpm for 10min in a preset ratio relative to each other based on the possible concentration of each DNA vector in DNA vaccine ranging from 1% to 98% by weight determined by the outcomes of the preclinical and clinical studies.
- the concentration of gene therapy DNA vectors was measured using a NanoDrop 2000 spectrophotometer (Thermo Scientific, USA) at a wavelength of 260nm.
- the finished composition of gene therapy DNA vectors GDTT1.8NAS12-S, GDTT1.8NAS12-M, and GDTT1.8NAS12-N was filled in sterile vials, lyophilized in Labconco FreeZone Triad freeze dryer until the residual moisture in the product will be no more than 3%, sealed, and labelled.
