Description
PRIORITY CLAIM
[0001] This application is a divisional of U.S. application Ser.
No. 10/527,500, filed Mar. 11, 2005, which is the .sctn.371 U.S.
National Stage of International Application No. PCT/US2003/029833,
filed Sep. 18, 2003, which was published in English under PCT
Article 21(2), which in turn claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional
Application No. 60/412,327, filed Sep. 19, 2002, and U.S.
Provisional Application No. 60/425,852, filed Nov. 12, 2002, which
are incorporated herein by reference.
FIELD
[0002] The disclosure relates to proteins substantially purified
from Phlebotomine sand fly salivary glands, or recombinant vectors
expressing these proteins, and to an immune response produced to
these proteins. This disclosure also relates to the production of
an immune response that affects survival of Leishmania.
BACKGROUND
[0003] Leishmaniasis is a group of diseases caused by protozoa of
the genus Leishmania that affects many millions of people
worldwide. In humans, infection with the parasite manifests either
as a cutaneous disease caused mainly by L. major, L. tropica, and
L. mexicana; as a mucocutaneous disease caused mainly by L.
brasiliensis; or as a visceral disease caused mainly by L. donovani
and L. chagasi. In canids, Leishmania infections manifest as a
visceral disease that can result in high death rates.
[0004] All leishmanial diseases are transmitted to their vertebrate
hosts by phlebotomine sand flies, which acquire the pathogen by
feeding on infected hosts and transmit them by regurgitating the
parasite at the site of a subsequent blood meal (Killick-Kendrick,
Biology of Leishmania in phlebotomine sand flies. In Biology of the
kinetoplastida. W. Lumsden and D. Evans, editors. Academic Press,
New York. 395, 1979).
[0005] While obtaining a blood meal, sand flies salivate into the
host's skin. This saliva contains anticlotting, antiplatelet, and
vasodilatory compounds that increase the hemorrhagic pool where
sand flies feed (Ribeiro et al., Comp. Biochem. Physiol. 4:683,
1986; Charlab et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA. 26:15155, 1999).
Some of these components are additionally immunomodulatory. For
example, the New World sand fly Lutzomyia longipalpis contains the
6.5 kDa peptide, maxadilan, which is the most potent vasodilator
known (Lerner et al., J. Biol. Chem. 17:11234, 1991). Maxadilan
additionally has immunosuppressive activities of its own (Qureshi
et al., Am. J. Trop. Med. Hyg. 6:665, 1996), as do many persistent
vasodilators such as prostaglandin E.sub.2 (Makoul et al., J.
Immunol. 134:2645, 1985; Santoli and Zurier, J. Immunol. 143:1303,
1989; Stockman and Mumford, Exp. Hematol. 2:65, 1974) and
calcitonin gene-related peptide (Nong et al., J. Immunol. 1:45,
1989). Old World sand flies do not have maxadilan but instead use
adenosine monophosphate and adenosine as vasodilators (Ribeiro et
al., J. Exp. Biol. 11:1551, 1999). Adenosine is also an
immunomodulatory component, promoting the production of
interleukin-10 and suppressing tumor necrosis factor-.alpha. and
interleukin-12 in mice (Hasko et al., J. Immunol. 10:4634, 1996;
Webster, Asian Pac. J. Allergy Immunol. 2:311, 1984; Hasko et al.,
FASEB J. 14:2065, 2000).
[0006] Despite what is known about the role of sandfly saliva and
disease transmission, much remains unknown, and an effective
vaccine does not exist. Thus, there is a need for agents that can
be used to induce an immune response to the organisms that cause
leishmaniasis.
SUMMARY
[0007] The present disclosure relates to salivary proteins from
sand fly vectors of Leishmania that are members of the subgenus of
Phlebotomus Larroussius, in particular two species, namely
Phlebotomus ariasi and Phlebotomus perniciosus, and the nucleic
acids that encode these proteins. Methods of producing an immune
response in a subject are also disclosed.
[0008] Substantially purified salivary P. ariasi polypeptides are
disclosed herein. Also disclosed are polynucleotides encoding the
P. ariasi polypeptides disclosed herein.
[0009] Disclosed herein are substantially purified salivary P.
perniciosus polypeptides. Also disclosed are polynucleotides
encoding the P. perniciosus polypeptides disclosed herein.
[0010] Methods are disclosed for inducing an immune response to a
P. ariasi polypeptide using a therapeutically effective amount of
the substantially purified salivary P. ariasi polypeptides
disclosed herein, or the polynucleotides encoding the P. ariasi
polypeptides disclosed herein.
[0011] Methods are also disclosed for inducing an immune response
to a P. perniciosus polypeptide using a therapeutically effective
amount of the P. perniciosus polypeptides disclosed herein, or the
polynucleotides encoding the P. perniciosus polypeptides disclosed
herein.
[0012] In another embodiment, methods are disclosed herein for
inhibiting the symptoms of a Leishmania infection or for preventing
a Leishmania infection in a subject. The methods include
administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of
a P. ariasi polypeptide, or a polynucleotide encoding a P. ariasi
polypeptide.
[0013] In yet another embodiment, methods are disclosed herein for
inhibiting the symptoms of a Leishmania infection or for preventing
a Leishmania infection in a subject. The methods include
administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of
a P. perniciosus polypeptide, or a polynucleotide encoding a P.
perniciosus polypeptide.
[0014] Pharmaceutical compositions are disclosed including a
pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and a P. ariasi polypeptide
and/or a P. perniciosus polypeptide.
[0015] The foregoing and other features and advantages will become
more apparent from the following detailed description of several
embodiments, which proceeds with reference to the accompanying
figures.

II. Terms
[0142] Unless otherwise noted, technical terms are used according
to conventional usage. Definitions of common terms in molecular
biology may be found in Benjamin Lewin, Genes V, published by
Oxford University Press, 1994 (ISBN 0-19-854287-9); Kendrew et al.
(eds.), The Encyclopedia of Molecular Biology, published by
Blackwell Science Ltd., 1994 (ISBN 0-632-02182-9); and Robert A.
Meyers (ed.), Molecular Biology and Biotechnology: a Comprehensive
Desk Reference, published by VCH Publishers, Inc., 1995 (ISBN
1-56081-569-8).
[0143] In order to facilitate review of the various embodiments of
the disclosure, the following explanations of specific terms are
provided:
[0144] Amplification (of a nucleic acid molecule): A technique that
increases the number of copies of a nucleic acid molecule (e.g., a
DNA or an RNA) in a specimen. An example of amplification is the
polymerase chain reaction, in which a biological sample collected
from a subject is contacted with a pair of oligonucleotide primers,
under conditions that allow for the hybridization of the primers to
a nucleic acid template in the sample. The primers are extended
under suitable conditions, dissociated from the template, and then
re-annealed, extended, and dissociated to amplify the number of
copies of the nucleic acid. The product of amplification may be
characterized by electrophoresis, restriction endonuclease cleavage
patterns, oligonucleotide hybridization or ligation, and/or nucleic
acid sequencing using standard techniques. Other examples of
amplification include strand displacement amplification, as
disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,744,311; transcription-free isothermal
amplification, as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,033,881; repair
chain reaction amplification, as disclosed in WO 90/01069; ligase
chain reaction amplification, as disclosed in EP 0320308; gap
filling ligase chain reaction amplification, as disclosed in U.S.
Pat. No. 5,427,930; and NASBA.TM. RNA transcription-free
amplification, as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,025,134.
[0145] Antibody: immunoglobulin molecules and immunologically
active portions of immunoglobulin molecules, i.e., molecules that
contain an antigen binding site that specifically binds
(immunoreacts with) an antigen.
[0146] A naturally occurring antibody (e.g., IgG, IgM, IgD)
includes four polypeptide chains, two heavy (H) chains and two
light (L) chains inter-connected by disulfide bonds. However, it
has been shown that the antigen-binding function of an antibody can
be performed by fragments of a naturally occurring antibody. Thus,
these antigen-binding fragments are also intended to be designated
by the term "antibody." Specific, non-limiting examples of binding
fragments encompassed within the term antibody include (i) a Fab
fragment consisting of the VL, VH, CL, and CH1 domains; (ii) an Fd
fragment consisting of the VH and CH1 domains; (iii) an Fv fragment
consisting of the VL and VH domains of a single arm of an antibody,
(iv) a dAb fragment (Ward et al., Nature 341:544-546, 1989) which
consists of a VH domain; (v) an isolated complimentarity
determining region (CDR); and (vi) a F(ab').sub.2 fragment, a
bivalent fragment comprising two Fab fragments linked by a
disulfide bridge at the hinge region.
[0147] Immunoglobulins and certain variants thereof are known and
many have been prepared in recombinant cell culture (e.g., see U.S.
Pat. No. 4,745,055; U.S. Pat. No. 4,444,487; WO 88/03565; EP
0256654; EP 0120694; EP 0125023; Faoulkner et al., Nature 298:286,
1982; Morrison, J. Immunol. 123:793, 1979; Morrison et al., Ann
Rev. Immunol 2:239, 1984).
[0148] Animal: Living multi-cellular vertebrate organisms, a
category that includes, for example, mammals and birds. The term
mammal includes both human and non-human mammals. Similarly, the
term "subject" includes both human and veterinary subjects, such as
dogs.
[0149] Conservative variants: "Conservative" amino acid
substitutions are those substitutions that do not substantially
affect or decrease an activity or antigenicity of the P. ariasi or
P. perniciosus polypeptide. Specific, non-limiting examples of a
conservative substitution include the following examples:
TABLE-US-00001 Original Conservative Residue Substitutions Ala Ser
Arg Lys Asn Gln, His Asp Glu Cys Ser Gln Asn Glu Asp His Asn; Gln
Ile Leu, Val Leu Ile; Val Lys Arg; Gln; Glu Met Leu; Ile Phe Met;
Leu; Tyr Ser Thr Thr Ser Trp Tyr Tyr Trp; Phe Val Ile; Leu
The term conservative variation also includes the use of a
substituted amino acid in place of an unsubstituted parent amino
acid, provided that antibodies raised to the unsubstituted
polypeptide also essentially immunoreact with the substituted
polypeptide, or that an immune response can be generated against
the substituted polypeptide that is similar to the immune response
against the unsubstituted polypeptide. Thus, is one embodiment,
non-conservative substitutions are those that reduce an activity or
antigenicity.
[0150] cDNA (complementary DNA): A piece of DNA lacking internal,
non-coding segments (introns) and expression control sequences.
cDNA is synthesized in the laboratory by reverse transcription from
messenger RNA extracted from cells.
[0151] Degenerate variant: A polynucleotide encoding a P. ariasi
polypeptide or a P. perniciosus polypeptide that includes a
sequence that is degenerate as a result of the genetic code. There
are 20 natural amino acids, most of which are specified by more
than one codon. Therefore, all degenerate nucleotide sequences are
included in the disclosure as long as the amino acid sequence of
the P. ariasi polypeptide or P. perniciosus polypeptide encoded by
the nucleotide sequence is unchanged.
[0152] Epitope: An antigenic determinant. These are particular
chemical groups or peptide sequences on a molecule that are
antigenic, i.e., that elicit a specific immune response. An
antibody specifically binds a particular antigenic epitope on a
polypeptide. Specific, non-limiting examples of an epitope include
a tetra- to penta-peptide sequence in a polypeptide, a tri- to
penta-glycoside sequence in a polysaccharide. In the animal most
antigens will present several or even many antigenic determinants
simultaneously. Such a polypeptide may also be qualified as an
immunogenic polypeptide and the epitope may be identified as
described further.
[0153] Expression Control Sequences: Nucleic acid sequences that
control and regulate the expression of a nucleic acid sequence,
such as a heterologous nucleic acid sequence, to which it is
operably linked. Expression control sequences are operably linked
to a nucleic acid sequence when the expression control sequences
control and regulate the transcription and, as appropriate,
translation of the nucleic acid sequence. Thus expression control
sequences can include appropriate promoters, enhancers,
transcription terminators, polyA signals, a start codon (i.e., ATG)
in front of a protein-encoding polynucleotide sequence, splicing
signal for introns, maintenance of the correct reading frame of
that gene to permit proper translation of mRNA, and stop codons.
The term "control sequences" is intended to include, at a minimum,
components whose presence can influence expression, and can also
include additional components whose presence is advantageous, for
example, leader sequences and fusion partner sequences. Expression
control sequences can include a promoter.
[0154] A promoter is a minimal sequence sufficient to direct
transcription. Also included are those promoter elements which are
sufficient to render promoter-dependent gene expression
controllable for cell-type specific, tissue-specific, or inducible
by external signals or agents; such elements may be located in the
5' or 3' regions of the gene. Both constitutive and inducible
promoters, are included (see e.g., Bitter et al., Methods in
Enzymology 153:516-544, 1987). For example, when cloning in
bacterial systems, inducible promoters such as pL of bacteriophage
lambda, plac, pap, ptac (ptrp-lac-hybrid promoter) and the like may
be used. In one embodiment, when cloning in mammalian cell systems,
promoters derived from the genome of mammalian cells (e.g.,
metallothionein promoter) or from mammalian viruses (e.g., the
retrovirus long terminal repeat; the adenovirus late promoter; the
vaccinia virus 7.5K promoter) can be used. Promoters produced by
recombinant DNA or synthetic techniques may also be used to provide
for transcription of the nucleic acid sequences. In one embodiment,
the promoter is a cytomegalovirus promoter.
[0155] Host cells: Cells in which a vector can be propagated and
its DNA expressed. The cell may be prokaryotic or eukaryotic. The
term also includes any progeny of the subject host cell. It is
understood that all progeny may not be identical to the parental
cell since there may be mutations that occur during replication.
However, such progeny are included when the term "host cell" is
used. Also includes the cells of the subject.
[0156] Immune response: A response of a cell of the immune system,
such as a B cell, T cell, or monocyte, to a stimulus. In one
embodiment, the response is specific for a particular antigen (an
"antigen-specific response"). The response can also be a
non-specific response (not targeted specifically to salivary
polypeptides) such as production of lymphokines. In one embodiment,
an immune response is a T cell response, such as a CD4+ response or
a CD8+ response. In another embodiment, the response is a B cell
response, and results in the production of specific antibodies.
[0157] Immunogenic polypeptide: A polypeptide which comprises an
allele-specific motif, an epitope or other sequence such that the
polypeptide will induce an immune response. A specific,
non-limiting example of an immune response includes binding an MHC
molecule and inducing a cytotoxic T lymphocyte ("CTL") response,
inducing a B cell response (e.g., antibody production), and/or
T-helper lymphocyte response, and/or a delayed type
hypersensitivity (DTH) response against the antigen from which the
immunogenic polypeptide is derived.
[0158] In one embodiment, immunogenic polypeptides are identified
using sequence motifs or other methods known in the art. Typically,
algorithms are used to determine the "binding threshold" of
polypeptides to select those with scores that give them a high
probability of binding at a certain affinity and will be
immunogenic. The algorithms are based either on the effects on MHC
binding of a particular amino acid at a particular position, the
effects on antibody binding of a particular amino acid at a
particular position, or the effects on binding of a particular
substitution in a motif-containing polypeptide. Within the context
of an immunogenic polypeptide, a "conserved residue" is one which
appears in a significantly higher frequency than would be expected
by random distribution at a particular position in a polypeptide.
In one embodiment, a conserved residue is one where the MHC
structure may provide a contact point with the immunogenic
polypeptide.
[0159] Immunogenic composition: A composition that, when
administered to a subject, induces an immune response to a
Phlebotomus salivary polypeptide. In one embodiment, the immune
response is a positive DTH response.
[0160] Isolated: An "isolated" biological component (such as a
nucleic acid or protein or organelle) has been substantially
separated or purified away from other biological components in the
cell of the organism in which the component naturally occurs, i.e.,
other chromosomal and extra-chromosomal DNA and RNA, proteins, and
organelles. Nucleic acids and proteins that have been "isolated"
include nucleic acids and proteins purified by standard
purification methods. The term also embraces nucleic acids and
proteins prepared by recombinant technology as well as chemical
synthesis.
[0161] Label: A detectable compound or composition that is
conjugated directly or indirectly to another molecule to facilitate
detection of that molecule. Specific, non-limiting examples of
labels include fluorescent tags, enzymatic linkages, and
radioactive isotopes.
[0162] Leishmaniasis: A parasitic disease spread by the bite of
infected sand flies. The trypanosomatid parasite of the genus
Leishmania is the etiological agent of a variety of disease
manifestations, which are collectively known as leishmaniasis.
Leishmaniasis is prevalent through out the tropical and
sub-tropical regions of Africa, Asia, the Mediterranean, Southern
Europe (old world), and South and Central America (new world). The
old world species are transmitted by the sand fly vector
Phlebotomus sp. Humans, wild animals and domestic animals (such as
dogs) are known to be targets of these sandflies and to act as
reservoir hosts or to develop leishmaniasis.
[0163] Cutaneous leishmaniasis starts as single or multiple nodules
that develop into ulcers in the skin at the site of the bite. The
chiclero ulcer typically appears as a notch-like loss of tissue on
the ear lobe. The incubation period ranges from days to months,
even a year in some cases. The sores usually last months to a few
years, with most cases healing on their own. The mucocutaneous type
can develop into erosive lesions in the nose, mouth, or throat and
can lead to severe disfigurement. Visceral leishmaniasis often has
fever occurring in a typical daily pattern, abdominal enlargement
with pain, weakness, widespread swelling of lymph nodes, and weight
loss, as well as superimposed infections because of a weakened
immune system. Visceral leishmaniasis can result in high death
rates. The onset of symptoms can be sudden, but more often tends to
be insidious.
[0164] Lymphocytes: A type of white blood cell that is involved in
the immune defenses of the body. There are two main types of
lymphocytes: B cells and T cells.
[0165] Mammal: This term includes both human and non-human mammals.
Similarly, the term "subject" includes both human and veterinary
subjects.
[0166] Oligonucleotide: A linear polynucleotide sequence of up to
about 100 nucleotide bases in length.
[0167] Open reading frame (ORF): A nucleic acid sequence having a
series of nucleotide triplets (codons), starting with a start codon
and ending with a stop codon, coding for amino acids without any
internal termination codons. These sequences are usually
translatable into a polypeptide.
[0168] Operably linked: A first nucleic acid sequence is operably
linked with a second nucleic acid sequence when the first nucleic
acid sequence is placed in a functional relationship with the
second nucleic acid sequence. For instance, a promoter is operably
linked to a coding sequence if the promoter affects the
transcription or expression of the coding sequence. Generally,
operably linked DNA sequences are contiguous and, where necessary
to join two protein-coding regions, in the same reading frame.
[0169] Pharmaceutically acceptable vehicles or excipients: The
pharmaceutically acceptable vehicles or excipients of use are
conventional. Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, by E. W. Martin,
Mack Publishing Co., Easton, Pa., 15th Edition (1975), describes
compositions and formulations suitable for pharmaceutical delivery
of the polypeptides, plasmids, viral vectors herein disclosed.
[0170] In general, the nature of the vehicle or excipient will
depend on the particular mode of administration being employed. For
instance, parenteral formulations usually comprise injectable
fluids that include pharmaceutically and physiologically acceptable
fluids such as water, physiological saline, balanced salt
solutions, aqueous dextrose, glycerol or the like as a vehicle. For
solid compositions (e.g., freeze-dried pastille, powder, pill,
tablet, or capsule forms), conventional non-toxic solid vehicles or
excipients can include, for example, pharmaceutical grades of
mannitol, lactose, starch, or magnesium stearate. In addition to
biologically neutral vehicles or excipients, immunogenic
compositions to be administered can contain minor amounts of
non-toxic auxiliary substances, such as wetting or emulsifying
agents, preservatives, and pH buffering agents and the like, for
example sodium acetate or sorbitan monolaurate.
[0171] Phlebotomus ariasi (P. ariasi): A species of Phlebotomus
(sand flies) genus endogenous to the Old World, in particular to
southern Europe and Mediterranean countries, more particularly to
Spain and France. This sand fly is a proven vector of visceral
leishmaniasis. P. ariasi is a member of the subgenera of
Phlebotomus Larroussius.
[0172] Phlebotomus perniciosus (P. perniciosus): A species of
Phlebotomus (sand flies) genus endogenous to the Old World, in
particular to southern Europe, and Mediterranean countries, more
particularly to France, Italy, Greece, Morocco, and Spain. This
sand fly is a proven vector of the visceral leishmaniasis. P.
perniciosus is a member of the subgenera of Phlebotomus
Larroussius.
[0173] Polynucleotide: The term polynucleotide or nucleic acid
sequence refers to a polymeric form of nucleotide at least 10 bases
in length, thus including oligonucleotides and genes. A recombinant
polynucleotide includes a polynucleotide that is not immediately
contiguous with both of the coding sequences with which it is
immediately contiguous (one on the 5' end and one on the 3' end) in
the naturally occurring genome of the organism from which it is
derived. The term therefore includes, for example, a recombinant
DNA which is incorporated into a vector; into an autonomously
replicating plasmid or virus; or into the genomic DNA of a
prokaryote or eukaryote, or which exists as a separate molecule
(e.g., a cDNA) independent of other sequences. The polynucleotides
can be ribonucleotides (e.g. RNA), deoxyribonucleotides (e.g. DNA,
cDNA), or modified forms of either nucleotide. The term includes
single- and double-stranded forms of DNA.
[0174] Polypeptide: Any chain of amino acids, regardless of length
(thus encompassing oligopeptides, peptides, and proteins) or
post-translational modification (e.g., glycosylation,
phosphorylation, or acylation). A polypeptide encompasses also the
precursor, as well as the mature polypeptide. In one embodiment,
the polypeptide is a polypeptide isolated from P. ariasi, or
encoded by a nucleic acid isolated from P. ariasi, such as the P.
ariasi polypeptides disclosed herein. In another embodiment, the
polypeptide is a polypeptide isolated from P. perniciosus, or
encoded by a nucleic acid isolated from P. perniciosus, such as the
P. perniciosus polypeptides disclosed herein.
[0175] Fusion proteins are encompassed by the term polypeptide.
Fusion proteins have at least two domains of two different
polypeptides fused together. In one embodiment, one domain is a
detectable label. The two domains of a fusion protein can be
genetically fused together, for instance directly or through the
use of a linker oligonucleotide, thereby producing a single
fusion-encoding nucleic acid molecule. The translated product of
such a fusion-encoding nucleic acid molecule is a fusion protein.
In one embodiment, one domain of the fusion protein is a P. ariasi
or a P. perniciosus polypeptide and another domain of the fusion
protein is a detectable label. The detectable label can be green
fluorescent protein, a myc tag or a histidine tag, or the like.
[0176] Polypeptide Modifications: P. ariasi polypeptides or P.
perniciosus polypeptides include synthetic embodiments of
polypeptides described herein. In addition, analogues (non-peptide
organic molecules), derivatives (chemically functionalized peptide
molecules obtained starting with the disclosed polypeptide
sequences) and variants (homologs) of these proteins can be
utilized in the methods described herein. Each polypeptide of the
disclosure is comprised of a sequence of amino acids, which may be
either L- and/or D-amino acids, naturally occurring and
otherwise.
[0177] Polypeptides may be modified by a variety of chemical
techniques to produce derivatives having essentially the same
activity as the unmodified polypeptides, and optionally having
other desirable properties. For example, carboxylic acid groups of
the protein, whether carboxyl-terminal or side chain, may be
provided in the form of a salt of a pharmaceutically-acceptable
cation or esterified to form a C.sub.1-C.sub.16 ester, or converted
to an amide of formula NR.sub.1R.sub.2 wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2
are each independently H or C.sub.1-C.sub.16 alkyl, or combined to
form a heterocyclic ring, such as a 5- or 6-membered ring Amino
groups of the peptide, whether amino-terminal or side chain, may be
in the form of a pharmaceutically-acceptable acid addition salt,
such as the HCl, HBr, acetic, benzoic, toluene sulfonic, maleic,
tartaric, and other organic salts, or may be modified to
C.sub.1-C.sub.16 alkyl or dialkyl amino or further converted to an
amide.
[0178] Hydroxyl groups of the peptide side chains may be converted
to C.sub.1-C.sub.16 alkoxy or to a C.sub.1-C.sub.16 ester using
well-recognized techniques. Phenyl and phenolic rings of the
peptide side chains may be substituted with one or more halogen
atoms, such as fluorine, chlorine, bromine, or iodine, or with
C.sub.1-C.sub.16 alkyl, C.sub.1-C.sub.16 alkoxy, carboxylic acids
and esters thereof, or amides of such carboxylic acids. Methylene
groups of the peptide side chains can be extended to homologous
C.sub.2-C.sub.4 alkylenes. Thiols can be protected with any one of
a number of well-recognized protecting groups, such as acetamide
groups. Those skilled in the art will also recognize methods for
introducing cyclic structures into the peptides of this disclosure
to select and provide conformational constraints to the structure
that result in enhanced stability.
[0179] Peptidomimetic and organomimetic embodiments are envisioned,
whereby the three-dimensional arrangement of the chemical
constituents of such peptido- and organomimetics mimic the
three-dimensional arrangement of the peptide backbone and component
amino acid side chains, resulting in such peptido- and
organomimetics of a P. ariasi polypeptide or a P. perniciosus
polypeptide having measurable or enhanced ability to generate an
immune response. For computer modeling applications, a
pharmacophore is an idealized, three-dimensional definition of the
structural requirements for biological activity. Peptido- and
organomimetics can be designed to fit each pharmacophore with
current computer modeling software (using computer assisted drug
design or CADD). See Walters, "Computer-Assisted Modeling of
Drugs," Klegerman & Groves (eds.), 1993, Pharmaceutical
Biotechnology, Interpharm Press: Buffalo Grove, Ill., pp. 165-174
and Principles of Pharmacology Munson (ed.) 1995, Ch. 102, for
descriptions of techniques used in CADD. Also included are mimetics
prepared using such techniques.
[0180] Probes and primers: A probe comprises an isolated
polynucleotide attached to a detectable label or reporter molecule.
Primers are short polynucleotides. In one embodiment,
polynucleotides are 15 nucleotides or more in length. Primers may
be annealed to a complementary target DNA strand by nucleic acid
hybridization to form a hybrid between the primer and the target
DNA strand, and then extended along the target DNA strand by a DNA
polymerase enzyme. Primer pairs can be used for amplification of a
nucleic acid sequence, e.g., by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR)
or other nucleic-acid amplification methods known in the art. One
of skill in the art will appreciate that the specificity of a
particular probe or primer increases with its length. Thus, for
example, a primer comprising 20 consecutive nucleotides will anneal
to a target with a higher specificity than a corresponding primer
of only 15 nucleotides. Thus, in order to obtain greater
specificity, probes and primers may be selected that comprise at
least 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 50 or more consecutive
nucleotides.
[0181] Promoter: A promoter is an array of nucleic acid control
sequences that directs transcription of a nucleic acid. A promoter
includes necessary nucleic acid sequences near the start site of
transcription, such as, in the case of a polymerase II type
promoter, a TATA element. A promoter also optionally includes
distal enhancer or repressor elements which can be located as much
as several thousand base pairs from the start site of
transcription. Both constitutive and inducible promoters are
included (see e.g., Bitter et al., Methods in Enzymology
153:516-544, 1987). Promoters may be cell-type specific or tissue
specific.
[0182] Specific, non-limiting examples of promoters include
promoters derived from the genome of mammalian cells (e.g.,
metallothionein promoter) or from mammalian viruses (e.g., the
retrovirus long terminal repeat; the adenovirus late promoter; the
vaccinia virus 7.5K promoter) may be used. Promoters produced by
recombinant DNA or synthetic techniques may also be used. A
polynucleotide can be inserted into an expression vector that
contains a promoter sequence which facilitates the efficient
transcription of the inserted genetic sequence of the host. The
expression vector typically contains an origin of replication, a
promoter, as well as specific nucleic acid sequences that allow
phenotypic selection of the transformed cells.
[0183] Protein Purification: The P. ariasi polypeptides and P.
perniciosus polypeptides disclosed herein can be purified by any of
the means known in the art. See, e.g., Guide to Protein
Purification, Deutscher (ed.), Meth. Enzymol. 185, Academic Press,
San Diego, 1990; and Scopes, Protein Purification: Principles and
Practice, Springer Verlag, New York, 1982. Substantial purification
denotes purification from other proteins or cellular components. A
substantially purified protein is at least 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 95%,
or 98% pure. Thus, in one specific, non-limiting example, a
substantially purified protein is 90% free of other proteins or
cellular components.
[0184] Purified: The term purified does not require absolute
purity; rather, it is intended as a relative term. Thus, for
example, a purified polypeptide preparation is one in which the
polypeptide is more enriched than the polypeptide is in its natural
environment. A polypeptide preparation is substantially purified
such that the polypeptide represents, in several embodiments, at
least 60%, at least 70%, at least 80%, at least 90%, at least 95%,
or at least 99%, of the total polypeptide content of the
preparation. The same applies for polynucleotides. The polypeptides
disclosed herein can be purified by any of the means known in the
art (see, e.g., Guide to Protein Purification, Deutscher (ed.),
Meth. Enzymol. 185, Academic Press, San Diego, 1990; and Scopes,
Protein Purification: Principles and Practice, Springer Verlag, New
York, 1982).
[0185] Recombinant: A recombinant polynucleotide is one that has a
sequence that is not naturally occurring or has a sequence that is
made by an artificial combination of two otherwise separated
segments of sequence. This artificial combination is often
accomplished by chemical synthesis or, more commonly, by the
artificial manipulation of isolated segments of nucleic acids,
e.g., by genetic engineering techniques.
[0186] Selectively hybridize: Hybridization under moderately or
highly stringent conditions that excludes non-related nucleotide
sequences.
[0187] In nucleic acid hybridization reactions, the conditions used
to achieve a particular level of stringency will vary, depending on
the nature of the nucleic acids being hybridized. For example, the
length, degree of complementarity, nucleotide sequence composition
(e.g., GC v. AT content), and nucleic acid type (e.g., RNA v. DNA)
of the hybridizing regions of the nucleic acids can be considered
in selecting hybridization conditions. An additional consideration
is whether one of the nucleic acids is immobilized, for example, on
a filter.
[0188] A specific, non-limiting example of progressively higher
stringency conditions is as follows: 2.times.SSC/0.1% SDS at about
room temperature (hybridization conditions); 0.2.times.SSC/0.1% SDS
at about room temperature (low stringency conditions);
0.2.times.SSC/0.1% SDS at about 42.degree. C. (moderate stringency
conditions); and 0.1.times.SSC at about 68.degree. C. (high
stringency conditions). One of skill in the art can readily
determine variations on these conditions (e.g., Molecular Cloning:
A Laboratory Manual, 2nd ed., vol. 1-3, ed. Sambrook et al., Cold
Spring Harbor Laboratory Press, Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y., 1989).
Washing can be carried out using only one of these conditions,
e.g., high stringency conditions, or each of the conditions can be
used, e.g., for 10-15 minutes each, in the order listed above,
repeating any or all of the steps listed. However, as mentioned
above, optimal conditions will vary, depending on the particular
hybridization reaction involved, and can be determined
empirically.
[0189] Sequence identity: The similarity between amino acid
sequences is expressed in terms of the percentage identity between
the sequences. The higher the percentage, the more similar the two
sequences are. Homologs or variants of a P. ariasi polypeptide or a
P. perniciosus polypeptide will possess a significant degree of
sequence identity when aligned using standard methods.
[0190] Methods of alignment of sequences for comparison are well
known in the art. Various programs and alignment algorithms are
described in: Smith and Waterman, Adv. Appl. Math. 2:482, 1981;
Needleman and Wunsch, J. Mol. Biol. 48:443, 1970; Pearson and
Lipman, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 85:2444, 1988; Higgins and
Sharp, Gene 73:237, 1988; Higgins and Sharp, CABIOS 5:151, 1989;
Corpet et al., Nucleic Acids Research 16:10881, 1988; and Pearson
and Lipman, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 85:2444, 1988. Altschul
et al., Nature Genet., 6:119, 1994 presents a detailed
consideration of sequence alignment methods and identity
calculations.
[0191] The NCBI Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) (Altschul
et al., J. Mol. Biol. 215:403, 1990) is available from several
sources, including the National Center for Biotechnology
Information (NCBI, Bethesda, Md.) and on the Internet, for use in
connection with the sequence analysis programs blastp, blastn,
blastx, tblastn, and tblastx. A description of how to determine
sequence identity using this program is available on the NCBI
website on the internet.
[0192] Homologs and variants of a P. ariasi polypeptide or a P.
perniciosus polypeptide are typically characterized by possession
of at least 75%, for example at least 80%, sequence identity
counted over the full length alignment with the amino acid sequence
of the P. ariasi polypeptide or the P. perniciosus polypeptide
using the NCBI Blast 2.0, gapped blastp set to default parameters.
The comparison between the sequences is made over the full length
alignment with the amino acid sequence given in this present
disclosure, employing the Blast 2 sequences function using the
default BLOSUM62 matrix set to default parameters, (gap existence
cost of 11, and a per residue gap cost of 1).
[0193] When aligning short peptides (fewer than around 30 amino
acids), the alignment should be performed using the Blast 2
sequences function, employing the PAM30 matrix set to default
parameters (open gap 9, extension gap 1 penalties). Proteins with
even greater similarity to the reference sequences will show
increasing percentage identities when assessed by this method, such
as at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, at least 95%, at least
98%, or at least 99% sequence identity. When less than the entire
sequence is being compared for sequence identity, homologues and,
variants will typically possess at least 80% sequence identity over
short windows of 10-20 amino acids, and may possess sequence
identities of at least 85% or at least 90% or 95% depending on
their similarity to the reference sequence. Methods for determining
sequence identity over such short windows are available at the NCBI
website on the internet. One of skill in the art will appreciate
that these sequence identity ranges are provided for guidance only;
it is entirely possible that strongly significant homologues could
be obtained that fall outside of the ranges provided.
[0194] Specific binding agent: An agent that binds substantially
only to a defined target. Thus a P. ariasi specific binding agent
is an agent that binds substantially to a P. ariasi polypeptide.
Similarly, a P. perniciosus specific binding agent is an agent that
binds substantially to a P. perniciosus polypeptide.
[0195] In one embodiment, the specific binding agent is a
monoclonal or polyclonal antibody that specifically binds the P.
ariasi polypeptide. In another embodiment, the specific binding
agent is a monoclonal or polyclonal antibody that specifically
binds the P. perniciosus polypeptide.
[0196] Subject: Living multi-cellular vertebrate organisms, a
category that includes both human veterinary subjects, including
human and non-human mammals. In one embodiment, the subject is a
member of the canine family, such as a dog. In another embodiment,
the subject is a human.
[0197] T Cell: A white blood cell critical to the immune response.
T cells include, but are not limited to, CD4.sup.+ T cells and
CD8.sup.+ T cells. A CD4.sup.+ T lymphocyte is an immune cell that
carries a marker on its surface known as "cluster of
differentiation 4" (CD4). These cells, also known as helper T
cells, help orchestrate the immune response, including antibody
responses as well as killer T cell responses. CD8.sup.+ T cells
carry the "cluster of differentiation 8" (CD8) marker. In one
embodiment, a CD8 T cells is a cytotoxic T lymphocytes. In another
embodiment, a CD8 cell is a suppressor T cell.
[0198] Therapeutically active polypeptide: An agent, such as a P.
ariasi polypeptide or a P. perniciosus polypeptide, that causes
induction of an immune response, as measured by clinical response
(for example, increase in a population of immune cells, production
of antibody that specifically binds the P. ariasi polypeptide or P.
perniciosus polypeptide, a measurable reduction in symptoms
resulting from exposure to Leishmania, or protection from infection
with Leishmania). Therapeutically active molecules can also be made
from nucleic acids. Examples of a nucleic acid based
therapeutically active molecule is a nucleic acid sequence that
encodes a P. ariasi polypeptide or a P. perniciosus polypeptide,
wherein the nucleic acid sequence is operably linked to a control
element such as a promoter. Therapeutically active agents can also
include organic or other chemical compounds that mimic the effects
of the P. ariasi polypeptide or the P. perniciosus polypeptide.
[0199] The terms "therapeutically effective fragment of a P. ariasi
polypeptide" or "therapeutically effective variant of a P. ariasi
polypeptide" includes any fragment of the P. ariasi polypeptide, or
variant of the P. ariasi polypeptide, that retains a function of
the P. ariasi polypeptide, or retains an antigenic epitope of the
P. ariasi polypeptide, or retains the ability to reduce the
symptoms from exposure to Leishmania, or to protect from infection
with Leishmania. The terms "therapeutically effective fragment of a
P. perniciosus polypeptide" or "therapeutically effective variant
of a P. perniciosus polypeptide" includes any fragment of the P.
perniciosus polypeptide, or variant of the P. perniciosus peptide,
that retains a function of the P. perniciosus polypeptide, or
retains the ability to reduce the symptoms from exposure to
Leishmania, or to protect from infection with Leishmania.
[0200] Thus, in one embodiment, a therapeutically effective amount
of a fragment of P. ariasi polypeptide or a P. perniciosus
polypeptide is an amount used to generate an immune response to the
polypeptide. In another embodiment, a therapeutically effective
amount of a fragment of P. ariasi polypeptide or a P. perniciosus
polypeptide is an amount of use to prevent or treat a Leishmania
infection in a subject. Treatment refers to a therapeutic
intervention that confers resistance to infection with Leishamania,
or a reduction in the symptoms associated with exposure to
Leishamania. Specific, non-limiting examples of a polypeptide
fragment are the N-terminal half or the C-terminal half of one of
the P. ariasi polypeptides or the P. perniciosus polypeptide
disclosed herein.
[0201] Transduced: A transduced cell is a cell into which has been
introduced a nucleic acid molecule by molecular biology techniques.
As used herein, the term transduction encompasses all techniques by
which a nucleic acid molecule might be introduced into such a cell,
including transfection with viral vectors, transformation with
plasmid vectors, and introduction of naked DNA by electroporation,
lipofection, and particle gun acceleration.
[0202] Vaccine: Composition that when administered to a subject,
induces a decrease of the severity of the symptoms of a disorder or
disease. In one embodiment, a vaccine decreases the severity of the
symptoms of leishmaniasis and/or decreases the parasitic load.
[0203] Vector: A nucleic acid molecule as introduced into a host
cell, thereby producing a transduced host cell. A vector may
include nucleic acid sequences that permit it to replicate in a
host cell, such as an origin of replication. A vector may also
include one or more selectable marker genes and other genetic
elements known in the art.
[0204] Unless otherwise explained, all technical and scientific
terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by
one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure belongs.
The singular terms "a," "an," and "the" include plural referents
unless context clearly indicates otherwise. Similarly, the word
"or" is intended to include "and" unless the context clearly
indicates otherwise. "Comprise" means "include," and a composition
that comprises a polypeptide includes that polypeptide. It is
further to be understood that all base sizes or amino acid sizes,
and all molecular weight or molecular mass values, given for
polynucleotides or polypeptides are approximate, and are provided
for description. Although methods and materials similar or
equivalent to those described herein can be used in the practice or
testing of the present disclosure, suitable methods and materials
are described below. All publications, patent applications,
patents, and other references mentioned herein are incorporated by
reference in their entirety. In case of conflict, the present
specification, including explanations of terms, will control. In
addition, the materials, methods, and examples are illustrative
only and not intended to be limiting.
[0205] P. ariasi and P. perniciosus Polynucleotides and
Polypeptides
[0206] Salivary polypeptides from sand fly species of the subgenera
of Phlebotomus Larroussius, in particular P. ariasi and P.
perniciosus, are disclosed herein. P. ariasi polypeptides include
polypeptides having a sequence as set forth as SEQ ID NO:1, SEQ ID
NO:3, SEQ ID NO:5, SEQ ID NO:7, SEQ ID NO:9, SEQ ID NO:11, SEQ ID

NO:75, SEQ ID NO:77, SEQ ID NO:79, SEQ ID NO:81, or SEQ ID NO:83
are disclosed herein.
[0212] Fragments, variants, and fusions of the Phlebotomus
polypeptides identified above are disclosed herein and can readily
be prepared by one of skill in the art using molecular techniques.
In one embodiment, a fragment of a P. ariasi polypeptide or a P.
perniciosus polypeptide includes at least 8, 10, 15, or 20
consecutive amino acids of a P. ariasi polypeptide or a P.
perniciosus polypeptide. In another embodiment, a fragment of a P.
ariasi polypeptide or a P. perniciosus polypeptide includes a
specific antigenic epitope found on a full-length P. ariasi
polypeptide or on a full-length P. perniciosus polypeptide.
[0213] In one embodiment, a fragment is at least 17 amino acids, at
least 23 amino acids, at least 25 amino acids, or at least 30 amino
acids in length from any polypeptide (including polypeptides as
given in SEQ ID NO:1, SEQ ID NO:3, SEQ ID NO:5, SEQ ID NO:7, SEQ ID
NO:9, SEQ ID NO:11, SEQ ID NO:13, SEQ ID NO:15, SEQ ID NO:17, SEQ
ID NO:19, SEQ ID NO:21, SEQ ID NO:23, SEQ ID NO:25, SEQ ID NO:27,
SEQ ID NO:29, SEQ ID NO:31, SEQ ID NO:33, SEQ ID NO:35, SEQ ID
NO:37, SEQ ID NO:39, SEQ ID NO:41, SEQ ID NO:43, SEQ ID NO:45, SEQ
ID NO:47, SEQ ID NO:49, SEQ ID NO:51, SEQ ID NO:53, SEQ ID NO:55,
SEQ ID NO:57, SEQ ID NO:59, SEQ ID NO:61, SEQ ID NO:63, SEQ ID
NO:65, SEQ ID NO:67, SEQ ID NO:69, SEQ ID NO:71, SEQ ID NO:73, SEQ
ID NO:75, SEQ ID NO:77, SEQ ID NO:79, SEQ ID NO:81, or SEQ ID
NO:83, conservative variants thereof, and homologues thereof), or
any fragment that retains at least an epitope.
[0214] One skilled in the art, given the disclosure herein, can
purify a P. ariasi polypeptide or a P. perniciosus polypeptide
using standard techniques for protein purification. The
substantially pure polypeptide will yield a single major band on a
non-reducing polyacrylamide gel. The purity of the P. ariasi
polypeptide or the P. perniciosus polypeptide can also be
determined by amino-terminal amino acid sequence analysis.
[0215] Minor modifications of the P. ariasi polypeptide or the P.
perniciosus polypeptide primary amino acid sequences may result in
peptides which have substantially equivalent activity as compared
to the unmodified counterpart polypeptide described herein. Such
modifications may be deliberate, as by site-directed mutagenesis,
or may be spontaneous. All of the polypeptides produced by these
modifications are included herein.
[0216] Polynucleotides encoding salivary polypeptides from sand fly
species of the subgenera of Phlebotomus Larroussius, in particular
P. ariasi and P. pernicious, are disclosed herein. Also provided
are nucleic acid sequences encoding a P. ariasi or a P. pernicious
polypeptide. Specific, non-limiting examples of P. ariasi nucleic
acid sequences include SEQ ID NO:2, SEQ ID NO:4, SEQ ID NO:6, SEQ
ID NO:8, SEQ ID NO:10, SEQ ID NO:12, SEQ ID NO:14, SEQ ID NO:16,
SEQ ID NO:18, SEQ ID NO:20, SEQ ID NO:22, SEQ ID NO:24, SEQ ID
NO:26, SEQ ID NO:28, SEQ ID NO:30, SEQ ID NO:32, SEQ ID NO:34, SEQ
ID NO:36, SEQ ID NO:38, SEQ ID NO:40, SEQ ID NO:42, SEQ ID NO:44,
SEQ ID NO:46, or SEQ ID NO:48, and degenerate variants thereof.
Specific, non-limiting examples of P. perniciosus nucleic acid
sequences include SEQ ID NO:50, SEQ ID NO:52, SEQ ID NO:54, SEQ ID
NO:56, SEQ ID NO:58, SEQ ID NO:60, SEQ ID NO:62, SEQ ID NO:64, SEQ
ID NO:66, SEQ ID NO:68, SEQ ID NO:70, SEQ ID NO:72, SEQ ID NO:74,
SEQ ID NO:76, SEQ ID NO:78, SEQ ID NO:80, SEQ ID NO:82, or SEQ ID
NO:84, and degenerate variants thereof. These polynucleotides
include DNA, cDNA, and RNA sequences that encode a P. ariasi
polypeptide or a P. pernicious polypeptide. It is understood that
all polynucleotides encoding a P. ariasi polypeptide or a P.
pernicious polypeptide are also included herein, as long as they
encode a polypeptide with the recognized activity, such as the
binding to an antibody that recognizes the polypeptide, the
induction of an immune response to the polypeptide, an effect on
survival of Leishmania when administered to a subject having
leishmaniasis, or who undergoes a decrease in a sign or a symptom
of Leishmania infection.
[0217] The polynucleotides of the disclosure include sequences that
are degenerate as a result of the genetic code. There are 20
natural amino acids, most of which are specified by more than one
codon. Therefore, all degenerate nucleotide sequences are included
in the disclosure as long as the amino acid sequence of the P.
ariasi polypeptide or the P. pernicious polypeptide encoded by the
nucleotide sequence is functionally unchanged.
[0218] Specific, non-limiting examples of a polynucleotide encoding
a P. ariasi polypeptide are set forth below:

[0220] Also included are fragments of the above-described nucleic
acid sequences that are at least 33 bases, at least 36 bases, at
least 42 bases or at least 48 bases in length, which is sufficient
to permit the fragment to selectively hybridize to a polynucleotide
that encodes a disclosed P. ariasi polypeptide or that encodes a
disclosed P. pernicious polypeptide under physiological conditions.
The term "selectively hybridize" refers to hybridization under
moderately or highly stringent conditions, which excludes
non-related nucleotide sequences.
[0221] Also disclosed herein are open reading frames (ORFs)
encoding a P. ariasi or a P. perniciosus polypeptide. These ORFs
are delimited by a start codon and by a stop codon. This also
includes the degenerate variants and nucleotide sequences encoding
conservative variants and homologs. Specific, non-limiting examples
of ORFs encoding a P. ariasi or a P. perniciosus polypeptide
include a nucleic acid sequence from position 104 to position 1444

[0257] The PERM-P2-G11 mature protein is 311 amino acids long
(21-331 of SEQ ID NO:69) and is encoded by the nucleic acid
sequence 90-1022 of SEQ ID NO:70.
[0258] The PERM-P5-E2 mature protein is 211 amino acids long
(20-230 of SEQ ID NO:71) and is encoded by the nucleic acid
sequence 78-710 of SEQ ID NO:72.
[0259] The PERM-P5-C11 mature protein is 24 amino acids long (26-49
of SEQ ID NO:73) and is encoded by the nucleic acid sequence
105-176 of SEQ ID NO:74.
[0260] The PERM- P5-H8 (also referred to P2-G9) mature protein is
62 amino acids long (21-82 of SEQ ID NO:75) and is encoded by the
nucleic acid sequence 81-266 of SEQ ID NO:76.
[0261] The PERL-P3-B3 mature protein is 264 amino acids long
(30-293 of SEQ ID NO:77) and is encoded by the nucleic acid
sequence 671-1462 of SEQ ID NO:78.
[0262] The PERM-P2-D11 mature protein is 118 amino acids long
(20-137 of SEQ ID NO:79) and is encoded by the nucleic acid
sequence 75-428 of SEQ ID NO:80.
[0263] The PERM-P5-E3 mature protein is 121 amino acids long
(21-141 of SEQ ID NO:81) and is encoded by the nucleic acid
sequence 86-448 of SEQ ID NO:82.
[0264] The PERM-P2-F11 mature protein is 77 amino acids long (21-97
of SEQ ID NO:83) and is encoded by the nucleic acid sequence 77-307
of SEQ ID NO:84.
[0265] Another specific, non-limiting example of a polynucleotide
encoding a P. ariasi polypeptide is a polynucleotide having at
least 75%, 85%, 90%, 95%, or 99% homologous to one of the sequences
set forth above that encodes a polypeptide having an antigenic
epitope or function of a P. ariasi polypeptide or a P. perniciosus
polypeptide. Yet another specific, non-limiting example of a
polynucleotide encoding a P. ariasi polypeptide or a P. perniciosus
polypeptide is a polynucleotide that encodes a polypeptide that is
specifically bound by an antibody that specifically binds the P.
ariasi polypeptide or the P. perniciosus polypeptide.
[0266] The P. ariasi polynucleotides and P. perniciosus
polynucleotides include a recombinant DNA which is incorporated
into a vector; into an autonomously replicating plasmid or virus;
or into the genomic DNA of a prokaryote or eukaryote, or which
exists as a separate molecule (e.g., a cDNA) independent of other
sequences. The nucleotides can be ribonucleotides,
deoxyribonucleotides, or modified forms of either nucleotide. The
term includes single and double forms of DNA.
[0267] Recombinant vectors are also disclosed herein that include a
polynucleotide encoding a polypeptide or a fragment thereof
according to the disclosure. Recombinant vectors include plasmids,
viral vectors, and bacterial vectors and may be used for in vitro
or in vivo expression.
[0268] A plasmid may include a DNA transcription unit, a nucleic
acid sequence that permit it to replicate in a host cell, such as
an origin of replication (prokaryotic or eukaryotic). A plasmid may
also include one or more selectable marker genes and other genetic
elements known in the art. Circular and linear forms of plasmids
are encompassed in the present disclosure.
[0269] For in vivo expression, the promoter is generally of viral
or cellular origin. In one embodiment, the cytomegalovirus (CMV)
early promoter (CMV-IE promoter), including the promoter and
enhancer, is of use. The CMV-IE promoter can be of human or murine
origin, or of other origin such as rat or guinea pig (see EP
0260148; EP 0323597; WO 89/01036; Pasleau et al., Gene 38:227-232,
1985; Boshart M. et al., Cell 41:521-530, 1985). Functional
fragments of the CMV-IE promoter may also be used (WO 98/00166).
The SV40 virus early or late promoter and the Rous Sarcoma virus
LTR promoter are also of use. Other promoters include but are not
limited to, a promoter of the cytoskeleton gene, such as (but not
limited to) the desmin promoter (Kwissa M. et al., Vaccine
18(22):2337-2344, 2000), or the actin promoter (Miyazaki J. et al.,
Gene 79(2):269-277, 1989). When several genes are present in the
same plasmid, they may be provided in the same transcription unit
or in different units.
[0270] The plasmids may also comprise other transcription
regulating elements such as, for example, stabilizing sequences of
the intron type. In several embodiments the plasmids include the
first intron of CMV-IE (WO 89/01036), the intron II of the rabbit
.beta.-globin gene (van Ooyen et al., Science 206: 337-344, 1979),
the signal sequence of the protein encoded by the tissue
plasminogen activator (tPA; Montgomery et al., Cell. Mol. Biol.
43:285-292, 1997), and/or a polyadenylation signal (polyA), in
particular the polyA of the bovine growth hormone (bGH) gene (U.S.
Pat. No. 5,122,458) or the polyA of the rabbit .beta.-globin gene
or of SV40 virus.
[0271] In a specific, non-limiting example, the pVR1020 plasmid
(VICAL Inc.; Luke C. et al., Journal of Infectious Diseases
175:91-97, 1997; Hartikka J. et al., Human Gene Therapy
7:1205-1217, 1996)) can be utilized as a vector for the insertion
of such a polynucleotide sequence, generating recombinant plasmids
such as, but not limited to, PJV001, PJV002, PJV003, PJV004,
PJV005, PJV006, PJV007, PJV008, PJV009, PJV010, PJV011, PJV012,
PJV013, PJV014, PJV015, PJV016, PJV017, PJV018, PJV019, PJV020,
PJV021, PJV022, PJV023, PJV024, PJV025, PJV026, PJV027, PJV028,
PJV029, PJV030, PJV031, PJV032, PJV033, PJV034, PJV035, PJV036,
PJV037, PJV038, PJV039, PJV040, PJV041, or PJV042. The plasmids are
evaluated in dogs in order to determine their efficacy against a
Leishmania infection (Vidor E. et al., P3.14, XXIV World Veterinary
Congress, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, 18-23 Aug. 1991).
[0272] Various viral vectors are also of use with a polynucleotide
encoding a P. ariasi or a P. perniciosus polypeptide. A specific,
non-limiting example includes recombinant poxvirus, including
avipox viruses, such as the canarypox virus. Another specific,
non-limiting example includes vaccinia viruses (U.S. Pat. No.
4,603,112), such as attenuated vaccinia virus such as NYVAC (see
U.S. Pat. No. 5,494,807) or Modified Vaccinia virus Ankara (MVA,
Stickl H. and Hochstein-Mintzel V., Munch. Med. Wschr.
113:1149-1153, 1971; Sutter G. et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci.
U.S.A. 89:10847-10851, 1992; Carroll M. W. et al., Vaccine
15(4):387-394, 1997; Stittelaar K. J. et al., J. Virol.
74(9):4236-4243, 2000; Sutter G. et al., Vaccine 12(11):1032-1040,
1994). When avipox viruses are used, canarypox viruses (U.S. Pat.
No. 5,756,103) and fowlpox viruses (U.S. Pat. No. 5,766,599) are of
use, such as attenuated viruses. For recombinant canarypox virus
vectors, the insertion sites may be in particular in the ORFs C3,
C5 or C6. When the expression vector is a poxvirus, the
heterologous polynucleotide can be inserted under the control of a
poxvirus specific promoter, such as the vaccinia virus 7.5 kDa
promoter (Cochran et al., J. Virology 54:30-35, 1985), the vaccinia
virus I3L promoter (Riviere et al., J. Virology 66:3424-3434,
1992), the vaccinia virus HA promoter (Shida, Virology 150:451-457,
1986), the cowpox virus ATI promoter (Funahashi et al., J. Gen.
Virol. 69:35-47, 1988), other vaccinia virus H6 promoter (Taylor et
al., Vaccine 6:504-508, 1988; Guo et al., J. Virol. 63:4189-4198,
1989; Perkus et al., J. Virol. 63:3829-3836, 1989).
[0273] Other viral vectors of use are herpes virus or adenovirus
vectors. Specific, non-limiting examples include a canine herpes
virus (CHV) or canine adenovirus (CAV) vector (for example, see
U.S. Pat. No. 5,529,780; U.S. Pat. No. 5,688,920; Published PCT
Application No. WO 95/14102). For CHV, the insertion sites may be
in particular in the thymidine kinase gene, in the ORFS, or in the
UL43 ORF (see U.S. Pat. No. 6,159,477). For CAV, the insertion
sites may be in particular in the E3 region or in the region
located between the E4 region and the right ITR region (see U.S.
Pat. No. 6,090,393; U.S. Pat. No. 6,156,567). In one embodiment in
CHV or CAV vectors the insert is in general under the control of a
promoter (as described above for the plasmids), such as CMV-IE
promoter.
[0274] Multiple insertions can be done in the same vector using
different insertion sites or using the same insertion site. When
the same insertion site is used, each polynucleotide insert is
inserted under the control of different promoters. The insertion
can be done tail-to-tail, head-to-head, tail-to-head, or
head-to-tail. IRES elements (Internal Ribosome Entry Site, see
European Patent EP 0803573) can also be used to separate and to
express multiple inserts operably linked to the same promoter.
Bacterial vectors may also be used for in vivo expression.
[0275] Any polynucleotide according to the disclosure can be
expressed in vitro by DNA transfer or expression vectors into a
suitable host cell. The host cell may be prokaryotic or eukaryotic.
The term "host cell" also includes any progeny of the subject host
cell. Methods of stable transfer, meaning that the foreign
polynucleotide is continuously maintained in the host cell, are
known in the art. Host cells can include bacteria (e.g. Escherichia
coli), yeast, insect cells, and vertebrate cells. Methods of
expressing DNA sequences in eukaryotic cells are well known in the
art.
[0276] As a method for in vitro expression, recombinant Baculovirus
vectors (e.g., Autographa California Nuclear Polyhedrosis Virus
(AcNPV)) can be used with the nucleic acids disclosed herein. For
example, polyhedrin promoters can be utilized with insect cells
(for example Spodoptera frugiperda cells, like Sf9 available at the
ATCC under the accession number CRL 1711, Sf21) (see for example,
Smith et al., Mol. Cell Biol. 3:2156-2165, 1983; Pennock et al.,
Mol. Cell Biol. 4: 399-406, 1994; Vialard et al., J. Virol.
64:37-50, 1990; Verne A., Virology 167:56-71, 1988; O'Reilly et
al., "Baculovirus expression vectors, A laboratory manual," New
York Oxfore, Oxfore University Press, 1994; Kidd I. M. & Emery
V. C., "The use of baculoviruses as expression vectors," Applied
Biochemistry and Biotechnology 42:37-159, 1993; European Patent No.
EP 0370573; European Patent No. EP 0265785; U.S. Pat. No.
4,745,051). For expression the BaculoGold.TM. Starter Package (Cat
#21001K) from Pharmingen (Becton Dickinson) can be used.
[0277] As a method for in vitro expression, recombinant E. coli can
be used with a vector. For example, when cloning in bacterial
systems, inducible promoters such as arabinose promoter, pL of
bacteriophage lambda, plac, ptrp, ptac (ptrp-lac hybrid promoter),
and the like may be used.
[0278] Transformation of a host cell with recombinant DNA may be
carried out by conventional techniques as are well known to those
skilled in the art. Where the host is prokaryotic, such as E. coli,
competent cells which are capable of DNA uptake can be prepared
from cells harvested after exponential growth phase and
subsequently treated by the CaCl.sub.2 method using procedures well
known in the art. Alternatively, MgCl.sub.2 or RbCl can be used.
Transformation can also be performed after forming a protoplast of
the host cell if desired, or by electroporation.
[0279] When the host is a eukaryote, methods of transduction of DNA
such as calcium phosphate coprecipitates, conventional mechanical
procedures such as microinjection, electroporation, insertion of a
plasmid encased in liposomes, or virus vectors may be used.
Eukaryotic cells can also be cotransformed with P. ariasi
polynucleotide sequences or P. perniciosus polynucleotide
sequences, and a second foreign DNA molecule encoding a selectable
phenotype, such as the herpes simplex thymidine kinase gene.
Another method is to use a eukaryotic viral vector (see above),
such as a herpes virus or adenovirus (for example, canine
adenovirus 2), to transiently transduce eukaryotic cells and
express the protein (see for example, Eukaryotic Viral Vectors,
Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, Gluzman ed., 1982).
[0280] Isolation and purification of recombinantly expressed
polypeptides may be carried out by conventional means including
preparative chromatography (e.g., size exclusion, ion exchange,
affinity), selective precipitation and ultra-filtration. Such a
recombinantly expressed polypeptide is part of the present
disclosure. The methods for production of such a polypeptide are
also encompassed, in particular the use of a host cell and a
recombinant expression vector comprising a polynucleotide according
to the disclosure.
Antibodies
[0281] A polypeptide of the disclosure or a fragment thereof
according to the disclosure can be used to produce antibodies.
Polyclonal antibodies, antibodies which consist essentially of
pooled monoclonal antibodies with different epitopic specificities,
as well as distinct monoclonal antibodies are included. Without
being bound by theory, antibodies are of use as markers for
exposure, and as immunodiagnostic tools to follow the development
of the immune response to Phlebotomus salivary proteins.
[0282] The preparation of polyclonal antibodies is well-known to
those skilled in the art. See, for example, Green et al.,
"Production of Polyclonal Antisera," Immunochemical Protocols, pp.
1-5, Manson, ed., Humana Press, 1992; Coligan et al., "Production
of Polyclonal Antisera in Rabbits, Rats, Mice and Hamsters,"
Current Protocols in Immunology, section 2.4.1, 1992.
[0283] The preparation of monoclonal antibodies likewise is
conventional. See, for example, Kohler & Milstein, Nature
256:495, 1975; Coligan et al., sections 2.5.1-2.6.7; and Harlow et
al., Antibodies: A Laboratory Manual, p. 726, Cold Spring Harbor
Pub., 1988. Briefly, monoclonal antibodies can be obtained by
injecting mice with a composition comprising an antigen, verifying
the presence of antibody production by removing a serum sample,
removing the spleen to obtain B lymphocytes, fusing the B
lymphocytes with myeloma cells to produce hybridomas, cloning the
hybridomas, selecting positive clones that produce antibodies to
the antigen, and isolating the antibodies from the hybridoma
cultures. Monoclonal antibodies can be isolated and purified from
hybridoma cultures by a variety of well-established techniques.
Such isolation techniques include affinity chromatography with
Protein-A Sepharose, size-exclusion chromatography, and
ion-exchange chromatography. See, e.g., Coligan et al., sections
2.7.1-2.7.12 and sections 2.9.1-2.9.3; Barnes et al., "Purification
of Immunoglobulin G (IgG)," Methods in Molecular Biology, Vol. 10,
pages 79-104, Humana Press, 1992.
[0284] Methods of in vitro and in vivo multiplication of monoclonal
antibodies are well known to those skilled in the art.
Multiplication in vitro may be carried out in suitable culture
media such as Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium or RPMI 1640 medium,
optionally supplemented by a mammalian serum such as fetal calf
serum or trace elements and growth-sustaining supplements such as
normal mouse peritoneal exudate cells, spleen cells, thymocytes, or
bone marrow macrophages. Production in vitro provides relatively
pure antibody preparations and allows scale-up to yield large
amounts of the desired antibodies. Large-scale hybridoma
cultivation can be carried out by homogenous suspension culture in
an airlift reactor, in a continuous stirrer reactor, or in
immobilized or entrapped cell culture. Multiplication in vivo may
be carried out by injecting cell clones into mammals
histocompatible with the parent cells, e.g., syngeneic mice, to
cause growth of antibody-producing tumors. In one embodiment, the
animals are primed with a hydrocarbon, especially oils such as
pristane (tetramethylpentadecane) prior to injection. After one to
three weeks, the desired monoclonal antibody is recovered from the
body fluid of the animal.
[0285] Antibodies can also be derived from subhuman primates.
General techniques for raising therapeutically useful antibodies in
baboons can be found, for example, in WO 91/11465, 1991, and Losman
et al., Int. J. Cancer 46:310, 1990.
[0286] Alternatively, an antibody that specifically binds a
polypeptide can be derived from a humanized monoclonal antibody.
Humanized monoclonal antibodies are produced by transferring mouse
complementarity determining regions from heavy and light variable
chains of the mouse immunoglobulin into a human variable domain,
and then substituting human residues in the framework regions of
the murine counterparts. The use of antibody components derived
from humanized monoclonal antibodies obviates potential problems
associated with the immunogenicity of murine constant regions.
General techniques for cloning murine immunoglobulin variable
domains are described, for example, by Orlandi et al., Proc. Nat'l
Acad. Sci. USA 86:3833, 1989. Techniques for producing humanized
monoclonal antibodies are described, for example, by Jones et al.,
Nature 321:522, 1986; Riechmann et al., Nature 332:323, 1988;
Verhoeyen et al., Science 239:1534, 1988; Carter et al., Proc.
Nat'l Acad. Sci. USA 89:4285, 1992; Sandhu, Crit. Rev. Biotech.
12:437, 1992; and Singer et al., J. Immunol. 150:2844, 1993.
[0287] Antibodies can be derived from human antibody fragments
isolated from a combinatorial immunoglobulin library. See, for
example, Barbas et al., Methods: a Companion to Methods in
Enzymology, Vol. 2, p. 119, 1991; Winter et al., Ann. Rev. Immunol.
12:433, 1994. Cloning and expression vectors that are useful for
producing a human immunoglobulin phage library can be obtained, for
example, from STRATAGENE Cloning Systems (La Jolla, Calif.).
[0288] In addition, antibodies can be derived from a human
monoclonal antibody. Such antibodies are obtained from transgenic
mice that have been "engineered" to produce specific human
antibodies in response to antigenic challenge. In this technique,
elements of the human heavy and light chain loci are introduced
into strains of mice derived from embryonic stem cell lines that
contain targeted disruptions of the endogenous heavy and light
chain loci. The transgenic mice can synthesize human antibodies
specific for human antigens, and the mice can be used to produce
human antibody-secreting hybridomas. Methods for obtaining human
antibodies from transgenic mice are described by Green et al.,
Nature Genet. 7:13, 1994; Lonberg et al., Nature 368:856, 1994; and
Taylor et al., Int. Immunol. 6:579, 1994.
[0289] Antibodies include intact molecules as well as fragments
thereof, such as Fab, F(ab').sub.2, and Fv which are capable of
binding the epitopic determinant. These antibody fragments retain
some ability to selectively bind with their antigen or receptor and
are defined as follows:
[0290] (1) Fab, the fragment which contains a monovalent
antigen-binding fragment of an antibody molecule, can be produced
by digestion of whole antibody with the enzyme papain to yield an
intact light chain (L) and a portion of one heavy chain (H);
[0291] (2) Fab', the fragment of an antibody molecule can be
obtained by treating whole antibody with pepsin, followed by
reduction, to yield an intact light chain and a portion of the
heavy chain; two Fab' fragments are obtained per antibody
molecule;
[0292] (3) (Fab').sub.2, the fragment of the antibody that can be
obtained by treating whole antibody with the enzyme pepsin without
subsequent reduction; F(ab').sub.2 is a dimer of two Fab' fragments
held together by two disulfide bonds;
[0293] (4) Fv, defined as a genetically engineered fragment
containing the variable region of the light chain (V.sub.L) and the
variable region of the heavy chain (V.sub.H) expressed as two
chains; and
[0294] (5) Single chain antibody (SCA), defined as a genetically
engineered molecule containing the variable region of the light
chain, the variable region of the heavy chain, linked by a suitable
polypeptide linker as a genetically fused single chain
molecule.
[0295] Methods of making these fragments are known in the art. (See
for example, Harlow and Lane, Antibodies: A Laboratory Manual, Cold
Spring Harbor Laboratory, New York, 1988).
[0296] Antibody fragments can be prepared by proteolytic hydrolysis
of the antibody or by expression in E. coli of DNA encoding the
fragment. Antibody fragments can be obtained by pepsin or papain
digestion of whole antibodies by conventional methods. For example,
antibody fragments can be produced by enzymatic cleavage of
antibodies with pepsin to provide a 5S fragment denoted
F(ab').sub.2. This fragment can be further cleaved using a thiol
reducing agent, and in one embodiment, a blocking group for the
sulfhydryl groups resulting from cleavage of disulfide linkages, to
produce 3.5S Fab' monovalent fragments. Alternatively, an enzymatic
cleavage using pepsin produces two monovalent Fab' fragments and an
Fc fragment directly (see U.S. Pat. No. 4,036,945 and No.
4,331,647, and references contained therein; Nisonhoff et al.,
Arch. Biochem. Biophys. 89:230, 1960; Porter, Biochem. J. 73:119,
1959; Edelman et al., Methods in Enzymology, Vol. 1, page 422,
Academic Press, 1967; and Coligan et al. at sections 2.8.1-2.8.10
and 2.10.1-2.10.4).
[0297] Other methods of cleaving antibodies, such as separation of
heavy chains to form monovalent light-heavy chain fragments,
further cleavage of fragments, or other enzymatic, chemical, or
genetic techniques may also be used, so long as the fragments bind
to the antigen that is recognized by the intact antibody.
[0298] For example, Fv fragments comprise an association of V.sub.H
and V.sub.L chains. This association may be noncovalent (Inbar et
al., Proc. Nat'l Acad. Sci. USA 69:2659, 1972). Alternatively, the
variable chains can be linked by an intermolecular disulfide bond
or cross-linked by chemicals such as glutaraldehyde. See, e.g.,
Sandhu, supra. In one embodiment, the Fv fragments comprise V.sub.H
and V.sub.L chains connected by a peptide linker. These
single-chain antigen binding proteins (sFv) are prepared by
constructing a structural gene comprising DNA sequences encoding
the V.sub.H and V.sub.L domains connected by an oligonucleotide.
The structural gene is inserted into an expression vector, which is
subsequently introduced into a host cell such as E. coli. The
recombinant host cells synthesize a single polypeptide chain with a
linker peptide bridging the two V domains. Methods for producing
sFvs are known in the art (see Whitlow et al., Methods: a Companion
to Methods in Enzymology, Vol. 2, page 97, 1991; Bird et al.,
Science 242:423, 1988; U.S. Pat. No. 4,946,778; Pack et al.,
Bio/Technology 11:1271, 1993; and Sandhu, supra).
[0299] Another form of an antibody fragment is a peptide coding for
a single complementarity-determining region (CDR). CDR peptides
("minimal recognition units") can be obtained by constructing genes
encoding the CDR of an antibody of interest. Such genes are
prepared, for example, by using the polymerase chain reaction to
synthesize the variable region from RNA of antibody-producing cells
(Larrick et al., Methods: a Companion to Methods in Enzymology,
Vol. 2, page 106, 1991).
[0300] Antibodies can be prepared using an intact polypeptide or
fragments containing small peptides of interest as the immunizing
antigen. The polypeptide or a peptide used to immunize an animal
can be derived from substantially purified polypeptide produced in
host cells, in vitro translated cDNA, or chemical synthesis which
can be conjugated to a carrier protein, if desired. Such commonly
used carriers which are chemically coupled to the peptide include
keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH), thyroglobulin, bovine serum
albumin (BSA), and tetanus toxoid. The coupled peptide is then used
to immunize an animal (e.g., a mouse, a rat, or a rabbit).
[0301] Polyclonal or monoclonal antibodies can be further purified,
for example, by binding to and elution from a matrix to which the
polypeptide or a peptide to which the antibodies were raised is
bound. Those of skill in the art will know of various techniques
common in the immunology arts for purification and/or concentration
of polyclonal antibodies, as well as monoclonal antibodies (See for
example, Coligan et al., Unit 9, Current Protocols in Immunology,
Wiley Interscience, 1991).
[0302] It is also possible to use the anti-idiotype technology to
produce monoclonal antibodies which mimic an epitope. For example,
an anti-idiotypic monoclonal antibody made to a first monoclonal
antibody will have a binding domain in the hypervariable region
that is the "image" of the epitope bound by the first mono-clonal
antibody.
[0303] In view of the large number of methods that have been
reported for attaching a variety of radiodiagnostic compounds,
radiotherapeutic compounds, label (e.g., enzymes or fluorescent
molecules) drugs, toxins, and other agents to antibodies one
skilled in the art will be able to determine a suitable method for
attaching a given agent to an antibody or other polypeptide.
[0304] In one embodiment, an antibody that binds a P. ariasi
polypeptide or a P. perniciosus polypeptide can be used to assess
whether a subject has been bitten by a sand fly. In one specific,
non-limiting example, a sample is obtained from a subject of
interest, such as a human or a dog. The sample can be a body fluid
(e.g., blood, serum, urine, saliva, etc.) or a tissue biopsy. The
sample or a fraction thereof is contacted with the antibody, and
the ability of the antibody to form an antigen-antibody complex is
assessed. One of skill in the art can readily detect the formation
of an antigen-antibody complex. For example, ELISA or radio-immune
assays can be utilized.
Immunogenic Compositions, Vaccines and Methods of Use
[0305] Immunogenic compositions and vaccines are disclosed herein.
In one embodiment the immunogenic compositions and vaccines include
a polypeptide. In another embodiment, the immunogenic compositions
and vaccines include a recombinant vector, such as a viral vector
or a plasmid. When administered to a subject such an immunogenic
composition or vaccine generates an immune response to the sand
fly's salivary protein(s), and surprisingly a reduction of the
leishmaniasis symptoms and a decrease of the leishmania parasite
load. Thus, without being bound by theory, a cellular response,
such as a Th1 response, produced to the salivary protein can
indirectly kill a Leishmania parasite. For example, a Th1 type
response can allow macrophages to take up Leishmania antigens and
present them to T cells in a Th1 context. The induction of the Th1
response can produce an anti-Leishmania immune response, or can
prime the immune system of the mammalian host for anti-Leishmania
immunity in response to a later infection.
[0306] In one embodiment, the immunogenic composition or the
vaccine includes an effective amount of at least one P. ariasi
polypeptide disclosed herein. The immunogenic composition and the
vaccine can include a pharmaceutically acceptable excipient and/or

[0313] The P. ariasi polypeptide or a P. perniciosus polypeptide
can be administered by any means known to one of skill in the art
(See Banga, A., "Parenteral Controlled Delivery of Therapeutic
Peptides and Proteins," Therapeutic Peptides and Proteins,
Technomic Publishing Co., Inc., Lancaster, Pa., 1995) such as by
intramuscular, intradermal, subcutaneous, or intravenous injection,
but even oral, nasal, or, anal administration is contemplated. In
one embodiment, administration is by subcutaneous, intradermal, or
intramuscular injection using a needleless injector (Biojector,
Bioject, Oregon, USA).
[0314] To extend the time during which the peptide or protein is
available to stimulate a response, the peptide or protein can be
provided as an implant, an oily injection, or as a particulate
system. The particulate system can be a microparticle, a
microcapsule, a microsphere, a nanocapsule, or similar particle.
(see, e.g., Banja, supra). A particulate carrier based on a
synthetic polymer has been shown to act as an adjuvant to enhance
the immune response, in addition to providing a controlled release.
Aluminum salts may also be used as adjuvants to produce a humoral
immune response. Thus, in one embodiment, a P. ariasi polypeptide
or a P. perniciosus polypeptide is administered in a manner to
induce a humoral response.
[0315] In another embodiment, a P. ariasi polypeptide or a P.
perniciosus polypeptide is administered in a manner to direct the
immune response to a cellular response (that is, a CTL response),
rather than a humoral (antibody) response. A number of means for
inducing cellular responses, both in vitro and in vivo, are known.
Lipids have been identified as agents capable of assisting in
priming CTL in vivo against various antigens. For example, as
described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,662,907, palmitic acid residues can be
attached to the alpha and epsilon amino groups of a lysine residue
and then linked (e.g., via one or more linking residues, such as
glycine, glycine-glycine, serine, serine-serine, or the like) to an
immunogenic peptide. The lipidated peptide can then be injected
directly in a micellar form, incorporated in a liposome, or
emulsified in an adjuvant. As another example, E. coli
lipoproteins, such as tripalmitoyl-S-glycerylcysteinylseryl-serine
can be used to prime tumor specific CTL when covalently attached to
an appropriate peptide (see, Deres et al., Nature 342:561, 1989).
Further, as the induction of neutralizing antibodies can also be
primed with the same molecule conjugated to a peptide which
displays an appropriate epitope, the two compositions can be
combined to elicit both humoral and cell-mediated responses where
that is deemed desirable.
[0316] In yet another embodiment, an MHC class II-restricted
T-helper epitope is added to the polypeptide of the disclosure to
induce T-helper cells to secrete cytokines in the microenvironment
to activate CTL precursor cells. The technique further involves
adding short lipid molecules to retain the construct at the site of
the injection for several days to localize the antigen at the site
of the injection and enhance its proximity to dendritic cells or
other "professional" antigen presenting cells over a period of time
(see Chesnut et al., "Design and Testing of Peptide-Based Cytotoxic
T-Cell-Mediated Immunotherapeutics to Treat Infectious Diseases and
Cancer," Powell, et al., (eds.), Vaccine Design, the Subunit and
Adjuvant Approach, Plenum Press, New York, 1995).
[0317] An immunogenic composition or a vaccine according to the
disclosure can be prepared in accordance with standard techniques
well known to those skilled in the pharmaceutical or veterinary
art. Such compositions can be administered in dosages and by
techniques well known to those skilled in the medical or veterinary
arts, taking into consideration such factors as the age, sex,
weight, species, and condition of the particular subject, and the
route of administration. The immunogenic composition or the vaccine
can be administered alone, or in combination with adjuvant(s)
and/or with other antigen(s). The other antigen(s) can be a
Leishmania antigen. In one embodiment, the Leishmania antigen is
the A2 antigen, such as the A2 antigen from L. infantum (see PCT
Patent Application WO 95/06729 and in particular the sequence given
in SEQ ID NO:2). The other antigen(s) can be present in the
composition as a protein, or as an immunological fragment thereof
(e.g., an epitope), or as an insert in an expression vector (e.g.,
recombinant viral vector, recombinant plasmid, in particular the
pVR1012 (Vical Inc.; Hartikka J. et al., Human Gene Therapy
7:1205-1217, 1996)).
[0318] Any immunogenic composition, vaccine, or therapeutic
composition according to the disclosure can be mixed with an
adjuvant.
Polypeptide-Based Compositions:
[0319] In several embodiments, the polypeptide-based immunogenic
compositions and vaccines according to the disclosure are
formulated with (1) vitamin E, saponin (e.g., Quil A.TM.,
QS21.TM.), aluminum hydroxide, aluminum phosphate, aluminum oxide
("Vaccine Design, The subunit and adjuvant approach,"
Pharmaceutical Biotechnology, vol. 6, Edited by Micheal F. Powell
and Mark J. Newman, 1995, Plenum Press New York), (2) an acrylic
acid or methacrylic acid polymer, a polymer of maleic anhydride and
of alkenyl derivative, (3) an immunostimulating sequence (ISS), in
particular an oligodeoxyribonucleotidic sequence bearing one or
more non-methylated CpG groups (Klinman D. M. et al., Proc. Natl.
Acad. Sci. USA 93:2879-2883, 1996; WO 98/16247), (4) to formulate
the immunogenic or vaccine preparation in the form of an
oil-in-water emulsion, in particular the SPT emulsion described on
page 147 of "Vaccine Design, The Subunit and Adjuvant Approach"
edited by M. Powell and M. Newman, Plenum Press, 1995, and the
emulsion MF59 described on page 183 of this same book, (5)
cytokines, or (6) combinations or mixtures thereof.
[0320] The cytokine (5) could be added to the composition, such as,
but not limited to, GM-CSF or cytokines inducing Th1 (e.g., IL12).
All these cytokines can be added to the composition as a protein or
as a vector encoding this cytokine protein. In one embodiment, the
cytokines are from canine origin, e.g., canine GM-CSF, for which a
gene sequence has been deposited at the GenBank database (accession
number S49738). This sequence can be used to create the vector in a
manner similar to what was made in the PCT Patent Application WO
00/77210.
[0321] In one specific, non-limiting example the adjuvant contains
two or more of an emulsifier, a micelle-forming agent, or an oil.
Suitable emulsifiers, micelle-forming agents, and oils are detailed
in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,585,103; 5,709,860; 5,270,202; and 5,695,770.
An emulsifier is any molecule that allows the components of the
emulsion to remain as a stable emulsion. Such emulsifiers include
polysorbate 80
(Sorbitan-mono-9-octadecenoate-poly(oxy-1,2-ethanediyl);
manufactured by ICI Americas, Wilmington, Del.), polysorbate 20,
polysorbate 21, polysorbate 40, polysorbate 60, polysorbate 61,
polysorbate 85, dodecyl-N,N-dimethyl-3-ammonio-1-propanesulfonate,
TEEPOL IIB7.TM., and SPAN 80.TM. SPAN 85.TM., ethoxylated fatty
alcohols, ethoxylated fatty acids, ethoxylated castor oil
(hydrogenated or not). In one embodiment, these emulsifiers are
provided in an amount of approximately 0.05 to approximately 0.5%.
In another embodiment, these emulsifiers are provided in an amount
of approximately 0.2%. A micelle forming agent is an agent which is
able to stabilize the emulsion formed with the other components
such that a micelle-like structure is formed.
[0322] Examples of such agents include polymer surfactants
described by BASF Wyandotte publications, e.g., Schmolka, J. Am.
Oil. Chem. Soc. 54:110, 1977, and Hunter et al., J. Immunol.
129:1244, 1981, PLURONIC.TM. L62LF, L101, L121, and L64, PEG1000,
and TETRONIC.TM. 1501, 150R1, 701, 901, 1301, and 130R1. The
chemical structures of such agents are well known in the art. In
one embodiment, the agent is chosen to have a hydrophile-lipophile
balance (HLB) of between about 0 and about 2, as defined by Hunter
and Bennett, J. Immun. 133:3167, 1984. In one embodiment, the agent
can be provided in an effective amount, for example between about
0.5 and about 10%. In another embodiment, the agent can be provided
in an effective amount, for example between about 1.25 and about
5%.
[0323] In one embodiment, the oil included in the composition is
chosen to promote the retention of the antigen in an oil-in-water
emulsion, i.e., to provide a vehicle for the desired antigen. In
another embodiment, the oil has a melting temperature of less than
about 65.degree. C. such that emulsion is formed either at room
temperature (about 20.degree. C. to about 25.degree. C.), or once
the temperature of the emulsion is brought down to room
temperature.
[0324] The oil-in-water emulsion (4) can be based in particular on
light liquid paraffin oil (European Pharmacopea type); isoprenoid
oil such as squalane, squalene, EICOSANE.TM. or tetratetracontane;
oil resulting from the oligomerization of alkenes, in particular of
isobutene or decene; esters of acids or of alcohols containing a
linear alkyl group, more particularly plant oils, ethyl oleate,
propylene glycol di(caprylate/caprate), glyceryl
tri(caprylate/caprate) or propylene glycol dioleate; esters of
branched fatty acids or alcohols, in particular isostearic acid
esters. The oil is used in combination with emulsifiers to form the
emulsion. In several embodiments, the emulsifiers are nonionic
surfactants, in particular esters of sorbitan, mannide (e.g.,
anhydromannitol oleate), glycerol, polyglycerol, propylene glycol,
and oleic, isostearic, ricinoleic, or hydroxystearic acid, which
are for example, ethoxylated, and polyoxypropylene-polyoxyethylene
copolymer blocks, in particular the Pluronic.RTM. products,
especially L121. In one specific, non-limiting example, the oil is
provided in an amount between about 1 and about 60%. In another
specific, non-limiting example, the oil is provided in an amount
between about 5 and about 30%. In one embodiment, the adjuvant is a
mixture of emulsifiers, micelle-forming agent, and oil available
under the name Provax.RTM. (IDEC Pharmaceuticals, San Diego,
Calif.).
[0325] The acrylic acid or methacrylic acid polymers (2) can be
cross-linked in particular with polyalkenyl ethers of sugars or of
polyalcohols. These compounds are known under the term "carbomer"
(Pharmeuropa, Vol. 8, No. 2, June 1996). A person skilled in the
art may also refer to U.S. Pat. No. 2,909,462 describing such
acrylic polymers cross-linked with a polyhydroxylated compound
containing at least 3 hydroxyl groups. In one embodiment, a
polyhydroxylated compound contains not more than 8 hydroxyl groups.
In another embodiment, the hydrogen atoms of at least 3 hydroxyls
are replaced with unsaturated aliphatic radicals containing at
least 2 carbon atoms. In other embodiments, radicals contain from
about 2 to about 4 carbon atoms, e.g., vinyls, allyls, and other
ethylenically unsaturated groups. The unsaturated radicals can
themselves contain other substituents, such as methyl. The products
sold under the name Carbopol.RTM. (Noveon Inc., Ohio, USA) are
particularly suitable. They are cross-linked with an allyl sucrose
or with allylpentaerythritol. Among these, mention may be made of
the products Carbopol.RTM. 974P, 934P, and 971P.
[0326] Among the copolymers of maleic anhydride and of an alkenyl
derivative, such as the EMA.RTM. products (Monsanto) which are
copolymers of maleic anhydride and of ethylene, which may be linear
or cross-linked, for example cross-linked with divinyl ether.
Reference may be made to J. Fields et al., Nature 186:778-780,
1960. In one embodiment, the acrylic acid or methacrylic acid
polymers and the EMA.RTM. products are formed from units based on
the following formula:
##STR00001##
in which:
[0327] R.sub.1 and R.sub.2, which may be identical or different,
represent H or CH.sub.3
[0328] x=0 or 1, in one embodiment, x=1
[0329] y=1 or 2, with x+y=2.
[0330] For the EMA.RTM. products, x=0 and y=2. For the carbomers,
x=y=1.
[0331] In one embodiment, the dissolution of these polymers in
water leads to an acid solution, which is neutralized to
physiological pH, in order to give the adjuvant solution into which
the immunogenic composition or the vaccine itself is incorporated.
The carboxyl groups of the polymer are then partly in COO.sup.-
form.
[0332] In one embodiment, a solution of adjuvant, especially of
carbomer, is prepared in distilled water. In another embodiment, a
solution of adjuvant, especially of carbomer, is prepared in the
presence of sodium chloride, the solution obtained being at acidic
pH. In another embodiment, this stock solution is diluted by adding
it or a substantial part thereof, to the desired quantity (for
obtaining the desired final concentration) of water charged with
NaCl. In yet another embodiment, stock solution is diluted by
adding it to the desired quantity of physiological saline (NaCl 9
g/l) with concomitant or subsequent neutralization (pH 7.3 to 7.4).
In one embodiment, the stock solution is neutralized with NaOH.
This solution, at physiological pH, is used as is for mixing with
the immunogenic composition or with the vaccine, which may be
stored in freeze-dried, liquid or frozen form.
[0333] In one embodiment, the polymer concentration in the final
vaccine composition is from about 0.01% to about 1.5% weight/volume
(W/V). In another embodiment, the final vaccine composition is from
about 0.05 to about 1% W/V. In yet another embodiment, the final
vaccine composition is from about 0.1 to about 0.4% W/V.
[0334] Lipids have been identified as agents capable of stimulating
the immune response for various antigens. For example, as described
in U.S. Pat. No. 5,662,907, palmitic acid residues can be attached
to the alpha and epsilon amino groups of a lysine residue and then
linked (e.g., via one or more linking residues, such as glycine,
glycine-glycine, serine, serine-serine, or the like) to an
immunogenic peptide. The lipidated peptide can then be injected
directly in a micellar form, incorporated in a liposome, or
emulsified in an adjuvant. As another example, E. coli
lipoproteins, such as tripalmitoyl-S-glycerylcysteinylseryl-serine,
can be used.
[0335] To extend the time during which the peptide or protein is
available to stimulate a response, the peptide or protein can be
provided as an implant, an oily injection, or as a particulate
system. The particulate system can be a microparticle, a
microcapsule, a microsphere, a nanocapsule, or similar particle.
(see, e.g., Banja, supra). A particulate excipient based on a
synthetic polymer has been shown to act as an adjuvant to enhance
the immune response, in addition to providing a controlled
release.
Plasmid-Based Compositions:
[0336] In one embodiment, the plasmid-based compositions is
formulated with cationic lipids, in particular with cationic lipids
containing a quaternary ammonium salt having the following
formula:
##STR00002##
in which R1 is a saturated or unsaturated linear aliphatic radical
from 12 to 18 carbon atoms, R2 is another aliphatic radical
comprising from 2 to 3 carbon atoms, and X is an hydroxyl or amine
group.
[0337] In one embodiment, DMRIE
(N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-N,N-dimethyl-2,3-bis(tetradecyloxy)-1-propanammonium;
WO 96/34109) is the cationic lipid. In another embodiment, the
cationic lipid is in association with a neutral lipid, for example
DOPE (dioleoyl-phosphatidyl-ethanolamine; Behr J. P., Bioconjugate
Chemistry 5:382-389, 1994), in order to form the DMRIE-DOPE. In yet
another embodiment, the mixture is made extemporaneously about 10
minutes to about 60 minutes before administration. In another
embodiment, the mixture is made extemporaneously about 30 minutes
before administration. In one embodiment, the molar ratio of
DMRIE/DOPE is from about 95/5 to about 5/95. In another embodiment,
the molar ratio of DMRIE/DOPE is about 1/1. In one embodiment, the
weight ratio of plasmid/DMRIE or of DMRIE-DOPE adjuvant is from
about 50/1 to about 1/10. In another embodiment, the weight ratio
of plasmid/DMRIE or of DMRIE-DOPE adjuvant is from about 10/1 to
about 1/5. In yet another embodiment, the weight ratio of
plasmid/DMRIE or of DMRIE-DOPE adjuvant is from about 1/1 to about
1/2.
[0338] In one embodiment, a cytokine or non-methylated CpG groups
is added to the composition, as described above for
polypeptide-based compositions. The addition can be done
advantageously by a plasmid encoding the cytokine.
Viral Vector-Based Composition:
[0339] The recombinant viral vector-based composition can be
supplemented with fMLP (N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine;
U.S. Pat. No. 6,017,537) and/or acrylic acid or methacrylic acid
polymer adjuvant as described above for polypeptide-based
compositions. They can also be formaluted with emulsions as
described above.
[0340] In one embodiment, cytokines, non-methylated CpG groups, or
emulsions are added to the composition as described above for
polypeptide-based compositions. The addition can be done
advantageously by a viral vector encoding said cytokine.
[0341] The immunogenic compositions and vaccines according to the
disclosure are conserved and stored either in formulated form at
5.degree. C., or in lyophilized form. In one embodiment, the
immunogenic compositions and vaccines according to the disclosure
are conserved and stored either in formulated form at 5.degree. C.,
or in lyophilized form with a stabilizer. Freeze-drying can be done
according to well-known standard freeze-drying procedures. The
pharmaceutically acceptable stabilizers may be SPGA (sucrose
phosphate glutamate albumin) (Bovarnik et al., J. Bacteriology
59:509, 1950), carbohydrates (e.g., sorbitol, mannitol, lactose,
sucrose, glucose, dextran, trehalose), sodium glutamate (Tsvetkov T
et al., Cryobiology 20(3):318-23, 1983 ; Israeli E et al.,
Cryobiology 30(5):519-23, 1993), proteins such as peptone, albumin,
or casein, protein containing agents such as skimmed milk (Mills C
K et al., Cryobiology 25(2):148-52, 1988; Wolff E et al.,
Cryobiology 27(5):569-75, 1990), and buffers (e.g., phosphate
buffer, alkaline metal phosphate buffer). An adjuvant may be used
to make soluble the freeze-dried preparations.
Methods of Immunization
[0342] The present disclosure provides methods for inducing an
immune response to a Phlebotomus polypeptide in a subject. The
present disclosure provides further methods for inhibiting or
preventing leishmaniasis in a subject.
[0343] These methods include the administration of at least one
immunogenic composition or vaccine according to the disclosure.
[0344] An immunogenic composition or a vaccine according to the
disclosure can be prepared in accordance with standard techniques
well known to those skilled in the pharmaceutical or veterinary
art. Such compositions can be administered in dosages and by
techniques well known to those skilled in the medical or veterinary
arts, taking into consideration such factors as the age, sex,
weight, species, and condition of the particular subject, and the
route of administration.
[0345] If more than one administration is required, they can be
administered concurrently (e.g., different compositions given
during the same period of time via the same or different routes, or
a same composition given in the same period of time via different
routes), or sequentially (e.g., the same or different compositions
given at least two times via the same or different routes). In one
embodiment, the delay between two sequential administrations is
from about 1 week to about 6 months. In another embodiment, the
delay is from about 3 weeks to about 6 weeks. In yet another
embodiment, the delay is from about 4 weeks. Following vaccination,
annual boost administrations may be done. In a prime-boost
vaccination schedule advantageously, at least one
primo-administration can be done with a composition containing a
plasmid according to the disclosure, following by at least one
booster administration done with a composition containing a
recombinant viral vector according to the disclosure, on the
condition that a same Phlebotomus salivary polypeptide is present
twice, coded by the plasmid and by the viral vector. Alternatively,
the booster administration can be done with a composition
containing a polypeptide according to the disclosure, on the
condition that a same Phlebotomus salivary polypeptide is present
twice, coded by the primo-administration plasmid and in the booster
polypeptide-based composition.
[0346] In such compositions the antigen(s) may be in admixture with
a suitable vehicle or excipient such as sterile water,
physiological saline, glucose, or the like. The compositions can
contain auxiliary substances such as wetting or emulsifying agents,
pH buffering agents, adjuvants, gelling, or viscosity enhancing
additives, preservatives, flavoring agents, colors, and the like,
depending upon the route of administration and the preparation
desired. Standard texts, such as Remington's Pharmaceutical
Science, 17th edition, 1985, may be consulted to prepare suitable
preparations, without undue experimentation. The compositions can
also be lyophilized.
[0347] Suitable dosages can also be based upon the examples below.
For polypeptide-based compositions, the route of administration can
be intradermal (ID), intramuscular (IM), or subcutaneous (SC),
intravenous, oral, nasal, or anal. This administration can be made
with a syringe and a needle or with a needle-less apparatus like,
for example, Biojector (Bioject, Oregon, USA). In several
embodiments, polypeptide dosages can be from about 1 to 250
.mu.g/ml, from about 15 to about 150 .mu.g/dose, or from about 20
to about 100 .mu.g/dose. In another embodiment, using a needle-less
apparatus, the volume of a dose can be between about 0.1 ml and
about 0.5 ml. In yet another embodiment, using a needle-less
apparatus, the volume of a dose can be about 0.25 ml.
Administration with multiple points of injection is preferred. In
one embodiment, for conventional injection with a syringe and a
needle, the volumes are from about 0.1 to about 2 ml. In another
embodiment, for conventional injection with a syringe and a needle,
the volumes are from about 0.5 to about 1 ml.
[0348] For plasmid-based compositions, the route of administration
can be ID, IM, SC, intravenous, oral, nasal, or anal. This
administration can be made with a syringe and a needle or with a
needle-less apparatus like, for example, Biojector. The dosage is
from about 50 .mu.g to about 500 .mu.g per plasmid. When DMRIE-DOPE
is added, about 100 .mu.g per plasmid is preferred. In one
embodiment, when canine GM-CSF or other cytokine is used, the
plasmid encoding this protein is present at a dosage from about 200
.mu.g to about 500 .mu.g. In another embodiment, the plasmid
encoding this protein is present at a dosage of about 200 .mu.g. In
one embodiment, using a needle-less apparatus, the volume of a dose
can be between about 0.1 ml and about 0.5 ml. In another
embodiment, the volume of a dose can be about 0.25 ml. In yet
another embodiment, administration is performed using multiple
points of injection. In one embodiment, for conventional injection
with a syringe and a needle, the volumes are from about 0.1 to
about 2. In another embodiment, the volumes are from about 0.5 to
about 1 ml. The dosages are the same as mentioned above.
[0349] For recombinant viral vector-based compositions, the route
of administration can be ID, IM, SC, intravenous, oral, nasal, or
anal. This administration can be made with a syringe and a needle
or with a needle-less apparatus like, for example, Biojector. The
dosage is from about 10.sup.3 pfu to about 10.sup.9 pfu per
recombinant poxvirus vector. In one embodiment, when the vector is
a canarypox virus, the dosage is from about 10.sup.5 pfu to about
10.sup.9 pfu. In another embodiment, when the vector is a canarypox
virus, the dosage is from about 10.sup.6 pfu to about 10.sup.8 pfu.
In one embodiment, the volume of needle-less apparatus doses is
between about 0.1 ml and about 0.5 ml. In another embodiment, the
volume of needle-less apparatus dose is 0.25 ml. In yet another
embodiment, administration is performed using multiple points of
injection. In one embodiment, for conventional injection with a
syringe and a needle, the volumes are from about 0.1 to about 2. In
another embodiment, the volumes are from about 0.5 to about 1 ml.
The dosages are the same as mentioned above. In one embodiment,
when a syringe with a needle is used, the injection is IM.
[0350] In one embodiment, for the prime-boost administration
regimen, the prime-administration is made with a plasmid-based
composition and the boost administration is made with a recombinant
viral vector-based composition. In one embodiment, the boost
administration is made with a canarypox vector. Both priming and
boosting administrations include vectors encoding at least one
identical Phlebotomus salivary antigen, and in one specific,
non-limiting example, a Leishmania A2 antigen. The dosage of
plasmids and recombinant viral vectors are the same as described
above. In one embodiment, the boost administration is done with a
polypeptide-based composition. In specific, non-limiting examples,
the dosage of polypeptide is from about 1 to about 250 .mu.g/ml,
from about 15 to about 150 .mu.g/dose, or from about 20 to about
100 .mu.g/dose.
[0351] Immunization by nucleic acid constructs is well known in the
art and taught, for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 5,643,578 (which
describes methods of immunizing vertebrates by introducing DNA
encoding a desired antigen to elicit a cell-mediated or a humoral
response) and U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,593,972 and 5,817,637 (which
describe operably linking a nucleic acid sequence encoding an
antigen to regulatory sequences enabling expression). U.S. Pat. No.
5,880,103 describes several methods of delivery of nucleic acids
encoding immunogenic peptides or other antigens to an organism. The
methods include liposomal delivery of the nucleic acids (or of the
synthetic peptides themselves), and immune-stimulating constructs,
or ISCOMS.TM., negatively charged cage-like structures of 30-40 nm
in size formed spontaneously on mixing cholesterol and Quil A.TM.
(saponin). Protective immunity has been generated in a variety of
experimental models of infection, including toxoplasmosis and
Epstein-Barr virus-induced tumors, using ISCOMS.TM. as the delivery
vehicle for antigens (Mowat and Donachie, Immunol. Today 12:383,
1991). Doses of antigen as low as 1 .mu.g encapsulated in
ISCOMS.TM. have been found to produce class I mediated CTL
responses (Takahashi et al., Nature 344:873, 1990).
[0352] In another approach to using nucleic acids for immunization,
a P. ariasi or a P. perniciosus polypeptide, or an immunogenic
peptide thereof, can also be expressed by attenuated viral hosts or
vectors or bacterial vectors. Recombinant vaccinia virus,
adeno-associated virus (AAV), herpes virus, retrovirus, or other
viral vectors can be used to express the peptide or protein,
thereby eliciting a CTL response. For example, vaccinia vectors and
methods useful in immunization protocols are described in U.S. Pat.
No. 4,722,848. BCG (Bacillus Calmette Guerin) provides another
vector for expression of the peptides (see Stover, Nature
351:456-460, 1991).
[0353] In one embodiment, a nucleic acid encoding a P. ariasi or a
P. perniciosus polypeptide, or an immunogenic fragment thereof, is
introduced directly into cells. For example, the nucleic acid may
be loaded onto gold microspheres by standard methods and introduced
into the skin by a device such as Bio-Rad's Helios.TM. Gene Gun. A
needless injector can also be utilized, such as a
Bioinjector2000.TM.. The nucleic acids can be "naked," consisting
of plasmids under control of a strong promoter. Typically, the DNA
is injected into muscle, although it can also be injected directly
into other sites. Exemplary dosages for injection are around 0.5
.mu.g/kg to about 50 mg/kg, and typically are about 0.005 mg/kg to
about 5 mg/kg (see, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 5,589,466). In one
embodiment, a prime-boost strategy for immunization is utilized.
Thus, in one embodiment, a nucleic acid encoding a P. ariasi or a
P. perniciosus polypeptide is administered to the subject, followed
by immunization with an attenuated or inactivated form of
Leishmania.
[0354] The immunogenic compositions and the vaccines disclosed
herein can be administered for preventative and therapeutic
treatments. In therapeutic applications, compositions are
administered to a subject suffering from a disease, such as
Leishmaniasis, in a therapeutically effective amount, which is an
amount sufficient to cure or at least partially arrest the disease
or a sign or symptom of the disease. Amounts effective for this use
will depend upon the severity of the disease and the general state
of the subject's health. An effective amount of the compound is
that which provides either subjective relief of a symptom(s) or an
objectively identifiable improvement as noted by the clinician or
other qualified observer.
[0355] Single or multiple administrations of the compositions are
administered depending on the dosage and frequency as required and
tolerated by the subject. In one embodiment, the dosage is
administered once as a bolus, but in another embodiment can be
applied periodically until a therapeutic result is achieved.
Generally, the dose is sufficient to treat or ameliorate symptoms
or signs of disease without producing unacceptable toxicity in the
subject.
[0356] As noted above, the dosage of the composition varies
depending on the weight, age, sex, and method of administration.
The dosage can also be adjusted by the individual physician as
called for based on the particular circumstances. The compositions
can be administered conventionally as vaccines containing the
active composition as a predetermined quantity of active material
calculated to produce the desired therapeutic or immunologic effect
in association with the required pharmaceutically acceptable
carrier or diluent (i.e., carrier or vehicle). For example, about
50 .mu.g of a DNA construct vaccine of the present disclosure can
be injected intradermally three times at two week intervals to
produce the desired therapeutic or immunologic effect. In another
embodiment, about 1 mg/Kg dosage of a protein vaccine of the
present disclosure can be injected intradermally three times at two
week intervals to produce the desired therapeutic or immunologic
effect.
[0357] A vaccine is provided herein that includes a P. ariasi or P.
perniciosus polypeptide or polynucleotide. Administration of the
vaccine to a subject, such as a human or veterinary subject,
results in resistance to infection with Leishamania. In one
embodiment, the subject is a human subject. In another embodiment,
the subject is a canine subject, such as a dog.
[0358] The disclosure is illustrated by the following non-limiting
Examples.

Example 1
Library Construction
[0359] Sand Flies and Preparation of salivary gland homogenate
(SGH). Salivary extracts are prepared directly from sand flies
captured in the wild in the Cevennes in Southern France (close to
Vallerauge (Gard)) which is known to be a valid biotope for the P.
ariasi sand fly species. Unfed females are captured by aspiration
immediately after they land on the outside walls of a tent in which
a dog has been placed. Captures are done at the end of July,
shortly after dusk on dry days and in the absence of wind. Outside
temperatures should be between 20 and 25.degree. C. Alternatively,
salivary extracts of P. perniciosus are prepared directly from sand
flies captured in the wild in Southern France (near the city of
Marseille) which is known to be a valid biotope for the P.
perniciosus sand fly species. The identification of the sand fly
specimen is performed by the visual observation (20.times.
microscope) of the morphology of the spermatheca after dissection,
as described in Leger et al. Ann. Parasitol. Hum. Comp.
t58(6):611-623, 1983).
[0360] Salivary glands dissected under a dissection microscope and
collected in microfuge tubes in sterile phosphate saline buffer, pH
7.0, are stored in dry ice and transferred to -70.degree. C. until
use.
[0361] The salivary gland of P. ariasi is a sac-like structure
consisting of a unicellular epithelium layer surrounding a large
lumen (Adler and Theodor, Ann. Trop. Med. Parasitol. 20:109, 1926).
After a blood meal, the gland total protein content decreases to
half or less from its .about.1 .mu.g value (Ribeiro et al., Insect
Biochem. 19:409-412, 1989). Thus, most of the protein from the fly
SGH must be destined for secretion. Sodium
dodecylsulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) of SGH
reveals a low complexity composition consisting of .about.12 major
bands varying from 10-100 kDa (Valenzuela et al., J. Exp.
Med.194:331-42, 2001). For SDS-PAGE, Tris-glycine gels (16%), 1 mm
thick, or NUPAGE 12% BIS-tris gels were used (Invitrogen). Gels
were run with either Tris-glycine or MOPS Nupage running buffer
according to the manufacturer's instructions. To estimate the
molecular weight of the samples, See BlueJ markers from Invitrogen
(myosin, BSA, glutamic dehydrogenase, alcohol dehydrogenase,
carbonic anhydrase, myoglobin, lysozyme, aprotinin, and insulin,
chain B) were used. SGH were treated with equal parts of 2.times.
SDS sample buffer (8% SDS in Tris-HCl buffer, 0.5M, pH 6.8, 10%
glycerol and 1% bromophenol blue dye). Thirty pairs of homogenized
salivary glands per lane (approximately 30.mu.g protein) were
applied when visualization of the protein bands by Coomassie blue
staining was desired. For amino terminal sequencing of the salivary
proteins, 40 homogenized pairs of glands were electrophoresed and
transferred to polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membrane using 10
mM CAPS, pH 11, 10% methanol as the transfer buffer on a
Blot-Module for the XCell II Mini-Cell (Invitrogen). The membrane
was stained with Coomassie blue in the absence of acetic acid.
Stained bands were cut from the PVDF membrane and subjected to
Edman degradation using a Procise sequencer (Perkin-Elmer
Corp.).
[0362] Salivary Gland cDNA Library Construction. P. ariasi salivary
gland mRNA was isolated from 100 salivary gland pairs from adult
females. The Micro-FastTrack mRNA isolation kit (Invitrogen, San
Diego, Calif.) was used, yielding approximately 100 ng poly
(A)+mRNA. The PCR-based cDNA library was made following the
instructions for the SMART cDNA library construction kit (Clontech,
Palo Alto, Calif.). One hundred nanograms of P. ariasi salivary
gland mRNA was reverse transcribed to cDNA using Superscript II
RNase H-reverse transcriptase (Gibco-BRL, Gaithersburg, Md.) and
the CDS/3' primer (Clontech, Palo Alto, Calif.) for 1 hour at
42.degree. C. Second strand synthesis was performed using a
PCR-based protocol by using the SMART III primer (Clontech, Palo
Alto, Calif.) as the sense primer, and the CDS/3' primer as
anti-sense primer. These two primers, additionally, create at the
ends of the nascent cDNA, SfiI A and B sites respectively. Double
strand cDNA synthesis was done on a Perkin Elmer 9700 Thermal
cycler (Perkin Elmer Corp., Foster City, Calif.) using the
Advantage Klen-Taq DNA polymerase (Clontech, Palo Alto, Calif.).
PCR conditions were the following: 94.degree. C. for 2 minutes; 19
cycles of 94.degree. C. for 10 seconds and 68.degree. C. for 6
minutes. Double stranded cDNA was immediately treated with
proteinase K (0.8 .mu.g/.mu.l) for 20 minutes at 45.degree. C. and
washed three times with water using Amicon filters with a 100 kD
cut off (Millipore Corp., Bedford Mass.). The double stranded cDNA
was then digested with Sfi I for 2 hours at 50.degree. C. (The Sfi
I sites were inserted to the cDNA during the second strand
synthesis using the SMART III and the CDS/3' primer). The cDNA was
then fractionated using columns provided by the manufacturer
(Clontech, Palo Alto, Calif.). Fractions containing cDNA of more
than 400 by were pooled, concentrated, and washed three times with
water using an Amicon filter with a 100 kDa cut-off. The cDNA was
concentrated to a volume of 7 .mu.l. The concentrated cDNA was then
ligated into a lambda triplex2 vector (Clontech, Palo Alto,
Calif.), and the resulting ligation reaction was packed using the
Gigapack gold III from Stratagene/Biocrest (Cedar Creek, TE)
following manufacturer's specifications. The obtained library was
plated by infecting log phase XL1-blue cells (Clontech, Palo Alto,
Calif.) and the amount of recombinants was determined by PCR using
vector primers flanking the inserted cDNA and visualized on a 1.1%
agarose gel with ethidium bromide (1.5 .mu.g/ml)
[0363] Massive Sequencing of P. ariasi Salivary Gland cDNA Library.
P. ariasi salivary gland cDNA library was plated to approximately
200 plaques per plate (150 mm Petri dish). The plaques were
randomly picked and transferred to a 96 well polypropylene plate
containing 100 .mu.l of water per well. The plate was covered and
placed on a gyrator shaker for 1 hour at room temperature. Four
microliters of a phage sample was used as a template for a PCR
reaction to amplify random cDNAs. The primers used for this
reaction were sequences from the triplex2 vector, the primers were
named PT2F1 (5'-AAGTACTCT AGCAAT TGTGAGC-3') (SEQ ID NO:85) which
is positioned upstream of the cDNA of interest (5' end), and PT2R1
(5'-CTCTTCGCTATTACGCCAGCT G-3') (SEQ ID NO:86) which is positioned
downstream of the cDNA of interest (3' end). Platinum Taq
polymerase (Gibco-BRL, Gaithersburg, Md.) was used for these
reactions. Amplification conditions were: 1 hold of 75.degree. C.
for 3 minutes, 1 hold of 94.degree. C. for 3 minutes, and 34 cycles
of 94.degree. C. for 30 seconds, 49.degree. C. for 30 seconds and
72.degree. C. for 1 minute and 20 seconds. Amplified products were
visualized on a 1.1% agarose gel with ethidium bromide. Clean PCR
was used as a template for a cycle sequencing reaction using the
DTCS labeling kit from Beckman Coulter Inc. (Fullerton, Calif.).
The primer used for sequencing (PT2F3)
(5'-TCTCGGGAAGCGCGCCATTGTGTT-3') (SEQ ID NO:87) is upstream of the
inserted cDNA and downstream of the primer PT2F1. Sequencing
reaction was performed on a Perkin Elmer 9700 thermacycler.
Conditions were 75.degree. C. for 2 minutes, 94.degree. C. for 4
minutes, and 30 cycles of 96.degree. C. for 20 seconds, 50.degree.
C. for 20 seconds and 60.degree. C. for 4 minutes.
[0364] After cycle sequencing the samples, a cleaning step was done
using the multi-screen 96 well plate cleaning system from Millipore
(Bedford, Mass.). The 96 well multi-screening plate was prepared by
adding a fixed amount (according to the manufacturer's
specifications) of Sephadex-50 (Amersham Pharmacia Biotech,
Piscataway, N.J.) and 300 .mu.l of deionized water. After 1 hour of
incubation at room temperature, the water was removed from the
multi screen plate by centrifugation at 750 g for 5 minutes. After
the Sephadex in the multi-screen plate was partially dried, the
whole cycle sequencing reaction was added to the center of each
well, centrifuged at 750 g for 5 minutes and the clean sample was
collected on a sequencing microtiter plate (Beckman Coulter,
Fullerton, Calif.). The plate was then dried on Speed-Vac SC 110
model with a microtiter plate holder (Savant Instruments Inc,
Holbrook, N.Y.). The dried samples were immediately resuspended
with 25 .mu.l of deionized ultrapure formamide (J.T. Baker,
Phillipsburg, N.J.), and one drop of mineral oil was added to the
top of each sample. Samples were sequenced immediately on a CEQ
2000 DNA sequencing instrument (Beckman Coulter Inc., Fullerton,
Calif.) or stored at -30.degree. C. The entire cDNA of selected
genes was fully sequenced using custom primers using a CEQ 2000 DNA
sequencing instrument (Beckman Coulter Inc., Fullerton, Calif.), as
described above.
[0365] Accordingly, a cDNA library was also constructed with P.
perniciosus salivary glands and sequenced.
[0366] DNA Vaccine Construction and Description of the VR1020
Vector. The genes coding for the predicted secreted proteins were
amplified from P. ariasi specific cDNA and from P. perniciosus
specific cDNA by PCR using Platinum Taq polymerase (GIBCO BRL) and
specific primers carrying the Predicted N-terminus (Forward
primer); and the stop codon (Reverse primer) of the selected
cDNA.
[0367] The PCR product was immediately cloned into the custom made
VR-2001-TOPO (derived from VR1020 vector) cloning vector following
the manufacturer's specifications (Invitrogen). The ligation
mixture was used to transform TOP10 cells (Invitrogen) and the
cells were incubated overnight at 37.degree. C. Eight colonies were
picked and mixed with 10 .mu.l of sterile water. Five .mu.l of each
sample were transferred to Luria broth (LB) with ampicillin (100
.mu.g/ml) and grown at 37.degree. C. The other 5 .mu.l were used as
a template for a PCR reaction using two vector-specific primers
from the PCRII vector to confirm the presence of the insert and for
sequencing analysis. After visualization of the PCR product on a
1.1% agarose gel, the eight PCR products were completely sequenced
as described above using a CEQ2000 DNA sequencing instrument
(Beckman Coulter). Cells containing the plasmid carrying the
selected P. ariasi gene were grown overnight at 37.degree. C. on
Luria broth with ampicillin (100 .mu.g/ml), and plasmid isolation
was performed using the Wizard Miniprep kit (Promega). The
VR-2001-TOPO (a variant of the VR1020 plasmid from Vical) plasmid
contains a kanamycin resistance gene, the human cytomegalovirus
promoter, and the tissue plasminogen activator signal peptide
upstream of the TOPO TA cloning site. The sample that contained the
sequence from the start codon to the stop codon in the right
orientation and in the correct open-reading-frame following the
nucleotide sequence encoding the tissue plasminogen activator
signal peptide was chosen.
[0368] Plasmids were transformed into the SCS-1 strain of E. coli
(Stratagene, La Jolla, Calif.) according to the manufacturer's
instructions. The transformed bacteria were grown in LB medium and
the plasmid was subsequently purified using a commercial plasmid
purification kit (Qiagen, Courtaboeuf, France). Individual plasmids
were quality controlled for identity based on a restriction
profile.
[0369] These plasmids were named and encoded the following
proteins:

DNA and Predicted Protein Sequence Analysis
[0370] DNA data derived from the mass sequencing project were
analyzed by an in-house program written in VisualBASIC (Microsoft).
This program removed vector and primer sequences from the raw
sequence. Stripped sequences were compared to the NCBI
non-redundant protein database using the program BlastX using the
BLOSUM-62 matrix (Altschul et al. Nucleic Acids Research 25:3389,
1997). DNA sequences were clustered by blasting the database
against itself with a preselected threshold cutoff, usually
1e.sup.-10 (BlastN program) (Altschul et al. Nucleic Acids Research
25:3389, 1997). Sequences from the same cluster were aligned using
ClustalX (Jeanmougin et al., Trends Biochem. Sci. 23:403, 1998). To
find the cDNA sequences corresponding to the amino acid sequence
obtained by Edman degradation of the proteins transferred to PVDF
membranes from SDS-PAGE gels, a search program was written that
checked these amino acid sequences against the three possible
protein translations of each cDNA sequence obtained in the mass
sequencing project. This was written using the same approach used
in the BLOCKS (Henikoff et al., Bioinformatics 15:471, 1999) or
Prosite (Bairoch, Nucleic Acids Res. 19(Suppl.):2241,1991)
programs. Protein translations of the full-length clones were
further processed to identify the predicted signal peptides using
the Signal P program (Nielsen et al., Protein Eng. 10:1, 1997),
available online Predicted signal peptide cleaved sites were
compared to the N-terminus sequence obtained from Edman degradation
of Phlebotomus salivary proteins. Estimation of isoelectric point
and molecular weight of translated protein was performed using the
DNA STAR program (DNASTAR). Full-length translated protein sequence
information was compared with the non-redundant protein database of
NCBI using the BLAST-P program (Altschul et al. Nucleic Acids
Research 25:3389, 1997) and searched for motifs by submitting each
sequence to the electronic database.
[0371] To characterize the primary structure of the main proteins
of P. ariasi and P. perniciosus SGH, SDS-PAGE gels were transferred
to PVDF membranes, and the amino terminal sequence of each cut band
by Edman degradation was estimated.

DNA Vaccination in Mice
[0372] For genetic immunization, Swiss Webster mice were purchased
from Taconic Farms. Mice were maintained in the NIAID Animal Care
Facility under pathogen-free conditions. Mice were inoculated in
the right ear with 30 .mu.g of the plasmid encoding the selected
cDNA from P. ariasi suspended in 5 .mu.l of PBS. Each group was
boosted 2 wk later using the same regimen. Mice were challenged on
the opposite ear with salivary gland homogenate of P. ariasi and
delayed type hypersensitivity (DTH) response was measured 24 hours
after the injection by measuring thickness and redness of ear (++:
at least 2 mice with a good DTH response, +++: at least three mice
had a good DTH response, Table 2).

Production of an Immune Response in Dogs
[0373] In a first experiment DTH (delayed type hypersensitivity)
reaction was performed in dogs with natural immunity against the
leishmaniasis in order to determine which P. ariasi salivary
proteins are recognized by a protective immune response. Dogs with
natural immunity survived without symptoms after two years of
exposure in an endemic area. In a second experiment, naive dogs
were immunized with the 24 P. ariasi salivary gland proteins
expressed by a plasmid in order to evaluate the capability to
induce a cellular immune response measured by DTH.
[0374] Twelve dogs approximately three years old with natural
immunity against Leishmaniasis were injected, via an intradermal
route (ID) in the back after shaving, with 100 .mu.g of each
individual plasmid suspended in 100 .mu.l of PBS. Each plasmid was
injected at a different point. The points were separated by at
least 3 cm to avoid interference between DTH responses. The
negative control (100 .mu.l of buffer) was also inoculated by ID
route.
[0375] The DTH response was assessed 72 hours after injection by
measuring the larger diameter of the skin tumefaction area (see
Table 3). The results are expressed as the mean value of the
tumefaction area for all the dogs and as a percentage of dogs
having a positive DTH response. A positive DTH is a tumefaction
area diameter greater than or equal to 4 mm at 72 hours after
injection.

6.1 91% PJV010 6.3 100%
[0376] The data in Table 3 can be divided into three groups: a
first group corresponding to plasmids number PJV001, PJV022,
PJV003, PJV012, and PJV010 showing a strong DTH response, a second
group corresponding to PJV018, PJV016, PJV005, PJV006, PJV008,
PJV011, PJV013, PJV020, PJV023, PJV015, and PJV024 showing a low
DTH response, and a last group (with PJV004, PJV009, PJV014,
PJV019, PJV002, PJV021, PJV007, and PJV017) showing an intermediate
DTH response.
[0377] In a second study, 10 naive dogs 4 to 6 months old were
immunized by ID injection in 10 points (100 .mu.l per point) in the
right ear with a pool of the 24 plasmids (PJV001 to PJV024), 100
.mu.g for each one suspended in 1000 .mu.l of PBS. On day 21, dogs
were injected in 10 points (100 .mu.lper point) in the left ear and
in 10 points (100 .mu.l per point) in the belly with a pool of the
24 plasmids, 100 .mu.g for each one suspended in 2000 .mu.l of PBS.
All dogs were challenged on day 35 by inoculation by ID route in
the back (after shaving), with 100 .mu.g of each individual plasmid
suspended in 100 .mu.l of PBS. Each plasmid was injected at a
different point. The points were separated by at least 3 cm to
avoid interference. As a negative control, 100 .mu.l of buffer was
inoculated intradermally. The DTH response was assessed 72 hours
after challenge, by measuring the larger diameter of the skin
tumefaction area (see Table 4). The results are expressed as the
mean value of the tumefaction area for all the dogs and as a
percentage of dogs having a positive DTH response. A positive DTH
is a tumefaction area diameter higher or equal of 4 mm at 72 hours
after injection.

a Plasmids tumefaction area (mm) tumefaction diameter .gtoreq. 4 mm

3.2 60% PJV010 2.4 40%
The results of this table show that all plasmids can induce
cellular immunity in dogs after injection, as revealed by a DTH
response. The variation of the DTH response level may be due to the
variation of the expression of the insert.
[0378] It will be apparent that the precise details of the methods
described may be varied or modified without departing from the
spirit of the described disclosure. We claim all such modifications
and variations that fall within the scope and spirit of the claims
below.
