Definitions
- the invention relates to new active principles of vaccines.
- MSP-1 10 derivatives of the major surface protein of merozoite forms of an infectious plasmodium for mammals, in particular humans, more generally known by the designation MSP-1
- This protein has already been the subject of numerous studies. It is synthesized in the schizont stage of parasites of the Plasmodium type,
- Plasmodium falciparum in particular Plasmodium falciparum, and is expressed in the form of one of the major constituents of the surface of the merozoites both during the hepatic stage and during the erythrocytic stage of malaria (1, 2, 3, 4). Due to the predominance and conservation in all known Plasmodium species of this protein, it has been suggested
- the C-terminal fragment having a molecular weight of 42 kDa (7.8) is noted, which is in turn cleaved again into an N-terminal fragment having a conventional apparent molecular weight of 33 kDa and a C-terminal fragment having a conventional apparent molecular weight of 19 kDa (9)
- references to proteins p42 and p19 derived from a certain type of Plasmodium are understood to relate to the corresponding C-termmal cleavage products of the MSP-1 protein of this Plasmodium, or, by extension, to products containing substantially the same amino acid sequences, obtained by genetic recombination or by chemical synthesis according to conventional techniques, for example by synthesizer of the “Applied System” type or by synthesis on solid phase of the “Mer ⁇ field” type.
- references to "recombinant p42" and “recombinant p19” refer to "p42" and "p19” obtained by techniques comprising at least one step of genetic engineering
- composition containing the fusion protein p19 with a glutathione-S-transferase produced in E coli in association with alum or liposomes did not have any protective effect on any of the six Aotus nancymai monkeys vaccinated (40)
- P vivax and the Aotus model for P falciparum, are artificial systems, requiring the adaptation of parasite strains and often the spienectomy of animals to obtain significant parasitaemias. Consequently, the vaccination results from these models can only have limited predictive value for humans
- the p42s originating from various infectious Plasmodiums for humans comprise hyperva ⁇ able regions mainly concentrating in their regions III, and even more in their respective regions II see the publication by Longacre, S (13) in which the p42 sequences of P cynomolgy, P vivax (Belem) and P vivax (Sal-I) were aligned.
- a first object of the invention is therefore to provide active ingredients of vaccines derived from the p42 better able to protect the host against the immune escape he was above question II is evident that the fragmentation of the p42 which has just been considered can also be extended to P falciparum, the parasite mainly responsible for acute forms of malaria in humans, and this all the more so as the locations of the zones separating regions I, II, III and IV of the constitutive sequences of P.cynomolgi and of the two varieties of P vivax were determined by analogy with corresponding sites, previously identified in P.falciparum, as described by (34) (35)
- the invention relates more particularly to vaccine compositions against a parasite of the Plasmodium type infectious for humans, containing as active ingredient a recombinant protein glycosylated or not, whose essential constitutive polypeptide sequence is that
- the invention therefore relates more particularly to a recombinant protein, glycosylated or not derived from p42 and containing both the essential parts of region I and region IV defined above for the constitution of immunogenic compositions, in particular vaccines
- recombinant proteins derived from the recombinant p42 produced by S Longacre et al (14) can be used in such compositions
- S Longacre et al succeeded in producing a recombinant p1 9 from MSP-1 of P vivax in a baculovirus vector system containing a nucleotide sequence coding for the p19 of Plasmodium vivax, in particular by transfection of cultures of insect cells [line of Spodoptera frugiperda (Sf9)] with baculovirus vectors containing, under the control of the polyhed ⁇ ne promoter, a sequence coding for the peptide fragments defined below, the sequences of which were placed in the following order in the baculovirus vector used 5'-term fragment of 35 base pairs of the polyhednne signal sequence, from which the methionine codon for initiating the expression of this protein had been mutated (in ATT),
- nucleotide sequence coding for p19 or a sequence coding for p42 of the MSP-1 protein of Plasmodium vivax, these sequences being also, as the case may be, either provided (“anchored” forms) or lacking (soluble forms) ) 3 ′ end regions of these nucleotide sequences whose extreme C-terminal expression products are pondered to play an essential role in the anchoring of the final protein p19 on the membrane of the parasite,
- MSP-1 therefore extended from amino acid Asp 1325 to amino acid Leu 1726 (anchored form) or amino acid Ser 1705 (soluble form) and for p19, the sequences extended from l amino acid Ile 1602 to amino acid Leu 1726 (anchored form) or to amino acid Ser 1705 (soluble form), it being understood that the complete amino acid sequences of p42 and p19 whose initial and terminal amino acids have shown in the above stem from the Belem P vivax isolate gene which has been sequenced (20)
- P cynomolgi has a double interest it is a parasitic species very close to P vivax, which is very infectious for the macaque very close to P vivax II can also infect humans
- P cynomolgi rhesus monkeys and toques monkeys
- the rhesus monkey is considered to be one of the most representative species of immune reactions in humans.
- the recombinant baculovirus proteins derived from a C-terminal part of MSP-1 (p42), and more particularly the partially deleted p42s, have a very significant antimalarial protective effect in a natural system, which constitutes the evaluation model for the most representative protective effect of MSP-1 for humans
- the protective effect obtained could be all the better if the partially deleted p42 is devoid of the hyperva ⁇ able region of the N-terminal part of p42, the effect of which can be deleterious in natural situations in which the vaccinated subject is confronted with significant polymorphism
- region II and of all or part of region III normally leads to better results. It is clear that a person skilled in the art would have no difficulty in producing fusion proteins between regions I and IV of p42. corresponding, or even between a region I and a region IV originating respectively from two p42 originating from two different varieties of Plasmodium II naturally goes without saying that these fusion proteins may also contain linking elements still corresponding to parts of region II , preferably from region III, preferably chosen from among the best conserved.
- the C-terminal polypeptide sequence of p33 when it is present, comprises less than 50 amino acid residues, or even even less than 35, or even less than 10 amino acid residues
- the polypeptide sequence of the partially deleted p42 protein may not contain the entire sequence coding for p19 (or of the region IV), naturally provided that the latter retains the capacity to induce protective antibodies against parasite
- the aforesaid “part of fragment has a molecular weight of 10 to 25 kDa, in particular of 10 to 15 kDa
- this part of polypeptide fragment contains at least one of the two regions EGF (abbreviation of the English expression "Epidermal Growth Factor")
- region I of the recombinant protein according to the invention is able to differentiate between the active fragments and those which would cease to be so, in particular of experimentally by producing modified vectors containing, for example, inserts comprising parts of p42 and in particular of deleted p42, of different lengths, respectively produced from the coding sequence for p42, if appropriate, partially deleted, by reaction with appropriate restriction enzymes, or alternatively exonucleolytic enzymes which would have been kept in contact with the fragment coding for the initial p42, if necessary, partially deleted for variable times; the capacity of the expression products of these inserts in corresponding eukaryotic cells, in particular insect cells, transformed by the corresponding modified vectors, to exert a protective effect, which can then be tested, in particular under the experimental conditions which will be described more away, about the examples.
- the expression products of these inserts must be capable of inhibiting a parasitaemia induced in vivo by the entire corresponding parasit
- the invention includes all immunogenic or even vaccinating compositions in which the essential constitutive polypeptide sequence of the active principle would consist of a peptide capable of inducing an immunological response of cell and / or humoral type equivalent to that produced by the protein. partially deleted as defined above, since the addition, deletion or substitution in its sequence of certain amino acids by others would not result in a significant modification of the capacity of the peptide thus modified hereinafter called "immunologically equivalent peptide" - also to inhibit the above parasitaemia
- Partially deleted p42 can naturally also be associated, whether on the N-terminal side or on the C-Terminal side or via a peptide bond, with another fragment of plasmodial protein having a vaccinating potential such as for example a protein (“Duffy Bmding Protein” by P vivax (29) or EBA-175 by P. falciparum (30) and (31) whose region is specifically rich in cysteine), provided that is not altered, on the contrary amplified, its capacity to inhibit a parasitaemia normally introduced in vivo by the corresponding parasite
- Duffy Bmding Protein by P vivax (29) or EBA-175 by P. falciparum (30) and (31) whose region is specifically rich in cysteine
- the fragment coding for the partially deleted p42 or a part thereof may also contain, upstream from its N-terminal end, an even different peptide sequence, for example a C-terminal fragment of the signal peptide of the protein MSP- 1.
- This sequence preferably comprises less than 50 amino acids, for example from 10 to 35 amino acids
- the invention also provides a method which largely remedies this difficulty. It also becomes possible to obtain much higher yields of p42 of P.falciparum - and other plasmodiums when similar difficulties are encountered - by putting in place implements a synthetic nucleotide sequence of substitution for the natural nucleotide sequence coding for the p42 of Plasmodium falciparum in an expression vector of a baculovirus system, this synthetic nucleotide sequence coding for the same p42, but being characterized by a proportion of nucleotides G and C higher than in the natural nucleotide sequence
- the invention stems from the discovery that the expression in a baculovirus system of a nucleotide sequence coding for a p42, partially deleted or not, was apparently linked to improved compatibility of the successive codons of the nucleotide sequence to express with the "cellular machinery" host cells transformable by baculoviruses, like what is observed for the natural nucleotide sequences normally contained in these baculoviruses and expressed in infected host cells, hence the bad expression, if not sometimes the complete absence of expression of a nucleotide sequence native to P falciparum; hence also a possible explanation for the more efficient expression observed of p42 of P.
- the invention therefore also relates, more generally, to a modified vector of the recombinant baculovirus type containing, under the control of a promoter contained in this vector and capable of being recognized by cells transfectable by this vector, a first nucleotide sequence coding for a signal peptide exploitable by a baculovirus system, characterized by a second nucleotide sequence downstream of the first, also under the control of this promoter and coding for a peptide sequence nevertheless comprising in its own constituent sequence, that:
- This sequence can be obtained by construction of a synthetic gene in which the natural codons have been changed by codons rich in G / C without their translation being modified (maintenance of the peptide sequence)
- said nucleotide sequence provided by synthetic DNA, can have at least 10% of codons modified with respect to the sequence of the natural gene or cDNA while retaining the characteristics of the translated natural sequence, that is to say -to say the maintenance of the sequence in ammo-acids
- sequence coding for the signal used may be that normally associated with the native sequence of the Plasmodium concerned. It may also be from another Plasmodium, for example P vivax or P cynomolgi or from another organism.
- the sequence coding for p42 or a part thereof within the vector considered is, if appropriate, devoid of the anchoring sequence of the protein native to the parasite from which it originates, in which case the expressed protein is generally excreted in the culture medium (soluble form)
- the invention also relates to the vectors in which the coding sequence contains the 3 'terminal end sequence coding for the hydrophobic C'-terminus sequence of p19 and which is normally involved in induction of the anchoring of the native protein to the cell membrane of the host in which it is expressed
- This 3'-terminal end region may moreover be heterologous with respect to the sequence coding for the rest of the corresponding p42, for example correspond to the 3'-terminal sequence originating from P vivax or from another organism since it codes for an anchoring sequence for all of the recombinant protein produced at the membrane of the cell host of the baculovirus system used as an example of such anchor sequences, the G
- the invention naturally also relates to recombinant proteins, these proteins comprising conformational epitopes recognized by human sera formed against the corresponding Plasmodium
- the invention also relates to any recombinant protein of the type indicated above, as soon as it comprises conformational epitopes such as produced in the baculovirus system, in particular those which are found to be unstable in a reducing medium.
- the invention naturally relates to said recombinant proteins, whether in the so-called soluble form or in the form provided with an anchoring region, in particular to the cellular hosts used in the baculovirus system.
- the invention also relates to any conjugation product between a partially deleted p42 or p42 as defined above, on the one hand, and a carrier molecule - for example a polylysine - alanine - usable for the production of vaccines, on the other hand, by intermediary of covalent bonds or not
- the vaccinating compositions using them also form part of the invention
- the invention also relates to the vaccine compositions using these recombinant or conjugated proteins, including, moreover, the proteins derived from Plasmodium vivax.
- compositions in which the aforementioned recombinant proteins are associated with an adjuvant for example an alum.
- the recombinant proteins comprising the extreme C-terminal region permitting their anchoring to the membrane of the cells in which they are produced are advantageously used in combination with lipids capable of forming liposomes and suitable for the production of vaccines Without having to be limited thereto, recourse may be had to the lipids described for this purpose by example in the work entitled “Liposomes technological, biological and pharmacological aspects” by J Delattre et al, INSERM edition, 1993

- the principle of this test would be to trap and quantify any MSP1 molecule containing the p42 part in the blood
- recombinant p42 and in particular partially deleted recombinant p42, are as follows (i) they are both well conserved within the same species and sufficiently divergent between different species to allow production easily species-specific reagents, under conditions whereby antibodies derived from different Plasmodiums can be produced, in particular against P falciparum and P vivax which do not give rise to cross-reactions, (n) since the recombinant p42 molecules derived from baculovirus seem to reproduce more the native structure of the corresponding native proteins, the antibodies produced against these proteins would be well suited for diagnostic use
