Definitions
- This invention relates to interactions between T-cell receptors and their specific MHC/peptide ligand and the potential therapeutic applications of inhibitors of this interaction.
- TCRs T-cell receptors
- MHC- peptide ligands MHC- peptide ligands
- the responder cell expressing the TCR preferably has the following properties: (i) it should be easy to culture; (ii) the correctly folded TCR should be stably expressed at high levels on the cell surface; (iii) the signal generated by the TCR-MHC interaction should be easily detectable by conventional means and simulates the functioning of the TCR in its native T- cell environment.
- An example of such a responder cell is a mast cell transfected with recombinant DNA encoding the TCR protein and which undergoes degranulation in response to the TCR-MHC interaction on the cell surface.
- Stimulatory MHC-peptide complexes may be created by immobilising soluble recombinant MHC on a solid support, such as "Dynabeads" (a form of plastic beads).
- the MHC is typically obtained by recombinant DNA expression, and is a single specific MHC molecule or fragment thereof.
- the present invention is based upon the following experimental data.
- TCR T cell receptor
- Figure la shows the cloning and expression of TCR genes encoding V ⁇ 2.2 and VjSl.l.
- Figure lb shows the FACS analysis of stably transfected RBLs expressing the TCZR.
- Figure lc shows, in the preparation and purification of MHC-peptide complexes, a sample HPLC gel filtration profile of purified, soluble, recombinant MHC protein.
- Figure 2a-d shows specific response of RBL/TCZR transfectants to peptide-pulsed target cells and purified MHC proteins. The results are means from triplicate assays. A typical experiment is shown in each case.
- Figure 3a-f shows competition with monomeric MHC-peptide complexes and controls.
- Figure 4 shows diagrammatically a model for TCZR signalling.
- TCR genes were amplified by PCR from cDNA prepared from a CTL clone specific for HLA A2.1 restricted HIV pol peptide.
- Primer sequences were: V ⁇ 2.2 forward (5' CAC CGC TCG AGC CGC CAT CAT GAT GAA ATC CTT GAG A 3'), Nc.2.2 back (5' CTG GTA CAC GGC CGG GTC AGG GTT CTG GAT ATT 3')
- VjSl.l forward (5'ATG CAA GTC AGT CGA CCC GCC ACC ATG GGC TTC AGG CTC CTC T 3'), and VjSl.
- Stable transfectants were selected by the addition of 700 g/ml G418 (Sigma), 15 ⁇ g/ml hypoxanthine, lO ⁇ g/ml aminopterin, 2 ⁇ g/ml thymidine, 250 ⁇ g/ml xanthine and 5 ⁇ g/ml mycophenolic acid.
- Protein concentrations were determined by a combination of spectrophotometry, scanning densitometry on SDS-PAGE gels, and HPLC peak quantitation. The concentrations of active protein in each preparation were confirmed by an ELISA detecting immobilized MHC protein with a panel of monoclonal antibodies (data not shown).
- peptides complexed with the A2 proteins were: pol (ILKEPVHGV), gag (SLYNTVATL), a random library of A2-binding peptides, pol-8E (ILKEPVHEV), a self peptide TLW (TLWVDPYEV), and null (SLAAAAAAL).
- RBLs were cultured in flat bottomed 96 well plates (Falcon) at a density of 5x10"* cells/well for 12 hours at 37°C in DMEM 10%FCS (Sigma) with 3 H-hydroxytryptamine creatinine sulphate (DuPont) at a final concentration of 0.2 / xCi/ml.
- the RBLs were washed 3 times in warm DMEM 10%FCS, incubated or 20 mins and then washed once more.
- C1R cells were resuspended at 5xl0 6 /100 ⁇ l and pulsed with various concentrations of peptide for 2hrs at 37°C. After one wash these APCs were added to the RBLs and coincubated for 60mins at 37° C. Supernatants were collected and responses were measured as corrected counts per minute (ccpm) by liquid scintillation counting.
- Figure 2a shows the response to HA-A2.1 C1R cells pulsed with a range of concentrations of the HIV pol peptide.
- Figure 2b shows the response to HA-A2.1 or HA-B7 C1R cells pulsed with individual peptides.
- Degranulation assays were performed as above except either monomeric MHC protein or 10 million MHC-saturated dynabeads were added to the wells instead of peptide-pulsed cells.
- sheep anti-mouse dynabeads were first saturated with an affinity-purified monoclonal coupling antibody according to manufacturer's protocols (Dynal). Coupling antibodies used were W6/32 (monomorphic anti- MHC) and BB7.2 (anti-A2, directed against the alpha-2 helix of the MHC). Following three washes, the beads were saturated with MHC-peptide complexes for 2 hours at 4° and then washed again three times before addition to the assay.
- Biotinylated A2-peptide complexes were prepared by surface biotinylation of refolded ⁇ 2M protein for 1 hour at room temperature using a 3-fold molar excess of NHS- SS-biotin (Pierce) gel filtration purification to remove free biotin, and seeding a folding reaction essentially as before (Fig lc) using folded biotinylated ⁇ 2M, denatured heavy chain, and a synthetic peptide.
- Results shown are means of 3 to 8 independent experiments each performed in duplicate and are reported as a percent of the uncompeted response. Standard error of the mean is shown in Fig 3a.
- Degranulation assays were performed (as in Fig 2) using 10 million A2-pol coated streptavidin dynabeads (as in Fig 2d) per well.
- a sub-saturating concentration of MHC protein was used (l ⁇ g MHC per 10 million beads), and the response with no added competitor was approximately 1000 ccpm.
- Soluble, monomeric, non-biotinylated MHC protein was checked by gel filtration to ensure that there was no detectable aggregation of the protein.
- the protein was diluted in media and added to the assay together with the A2- pol coated dynabeads.
- Figure 3c shows that the stimulatory capacity of streptavidin coated dynabeads bearing multivalent arrays of MHC-peptide is unaffected by preincubation with monomeric complexes.
- Biotinylated A2-pol or A2-gag complexes were linked to streptavidin coated dynabeads as described above. Beads were then incubated for 60 mins at 37°C with either medium alone or 10 ⁇ M non-biotinylated monomeric complexes.
- Multivalent A2-pol was incubated with monomeric A2-gag and vice versa. After washing the beads 3 times in warm DMEM 10% FCS to remove free monomeric complexes they were used in degranulation assays as described above.
- Figure 3d shows that the response to multivalent A2-pol is unaffected by the presence of free gag peptide. Assays were performed as described above in the presence of ascending concentrations of uncomplexed gag peptide.
- Figure 3f shows that RBL/TCZR degranulation is unaffected by preincubation of transfectants with monomeric MHC-peptide complexes.
- RBL/TCZR transfectants were preincubated with monomeric MHC-peptide complexes for 40 mins at 37 °C and men washed with warm DMEM 10% FCS. Degranulation assays were then performed as in Fig 2 but with 10 million streptavidin dynabeads coated with A2-pol per well.
- Figure 4 proposes a model for TCZR signalling based on the results presented here together with the findings in references 20-22 and possible similarities with the EGF receptor 23 .
- Figure 4a shows TCZR engaged by a multivalent array of MHC-peptide complexes.
- Figure 4b shows how specific ligand can induce conformational change allowing stable receptor aggregation. Non-specific ligand induces no conformational change.
- Figure 4c shows TCZR engaged by soluble monomeric MHC-peptide complexes.
- Figure 4d shows conformational change induced, but insufficient cross-linking of receptors takes place. Results and discussion
- Eukaryotic expression vectors encoding and ⁇ TCZR chimeric receptor chains 4 were constructed using TCR genes from a CTL clone specific for an HLA -A2.1 restricted HIV pol peptide (residues 476-484; ILKEPVHGV) 5 (Fig la).
- Stably transfected RBL 2H3 cells expressing the TCZR (Fig lb) showed peptide specific and MHC restricted degranulation using peptide pulsed target cells (Fig 2a, b).
- the response to multivalent A2-pol was also inhibited by monomeric soluble A2 protein complexed with some other peptides, including a variant of the index pol peptide, a random library of A2 binding peptides 8 , and a supposedly irrelevant HIV gag peptide pl7 (residues 77-85) 9 (Fig 3b).
- monomeric soluble A2 protein complexed with some other peptides including a variant of the index pol peptide, a random library of A2 binding peptides 8 , and a supposedly irrelevant HIV gag peptide pl7 (residues 77-85) 9 (Fig 3b).
- the present invention thus allows a very concise assay to be set up for the screening of substances, eg peptides or mimetics, that inhibit the interaction between TCRs and MHC- peptide ligands in vitro.
- substances eg peptides or mimetics
- the use of a RBL (a type of mast cell) expressing TCRs as repsonder cells is useful since degranulation of these cells provides a convenient signal of effective TCR-MHC-peptide interactions.
- the RBLs are also useful in that other surface proteins are not known to interact with MHC, such as would be the case with T-cells which normally express TCRs.
- other responder cells could be used, for example employing expression of a suitable reporter molecule such as jS-galactosidase as the detectable signal.
- inhibitors of their binding could typically be highly specific peptides, MHC-peptide complexes or MHC-peptide mimetics, antibodies, TCRs, or other immunospecific molecules, or fragments of any of the above.
- Other inhibitors could be more general in their action and inhibit many or all TCR-MHC interactions. These inhibitors could act by direct competition, allosteric changes, or other means.
- TCR-MHC-peptide interactions could be used in a variety of therapeutic applications, for example in blocking T-cells which give rise to autoimmune disease such as diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, groves disease etc, organ transplant rejection, or other T-cell mediated conditions.
