Definitions
- the invention is in the field of vaccines against infections due to Neisseria meningitidis and proposes in particular a vaccine composition comprising lipooligosaccharide (LOS) in combination with the subunit B (TbpB) lipid transferrin receptor of a strain of N. meningitidis.
- LOS lipooligosaccharide
- TbpB subunit B
- meningitidis serogroup B This bacterium is responsible for a number of pathologies , including predominantly meningitis and meningococcal disease, but also arthritis and pericarditis. Meningococcal disease can be complicated by purpura fulminons and deadly septic shock.
- meningitis is either of viral origin or of bacterial origin.
- the main causative bacteria are: N. meningitidis and Streptococcus pneumoniae, respectively involved in about 40-50% of cases of bacterial meningitis.
- Haemophilus influenzae also remains an important source of meningitis.
- N. meningitidis meningitis In France, about 600 to 800 cases a year of N. meningitidis meningitis occur. In the United States, the number of cases is about 2,500 to 3,000 per year.
- the N. meningitidis species is subdivided into serogroups according to the nature of the capsule polysaccharides. Although there are a dozen serogroups, 90% of cases of meningitis are attributable to serogroups: A, B, C, Y and Wl 35.
- the capsular polysaccharide of N. meningitidis serogroup B is not or hardly immunogenic in humans, whether in conjugated form or not (Bruge et al, Vaccine (2004) 22: 1087).
- this polysaccharide carries an epitope that can potentially cross-react with human tissues. So, it appears It is highly desirable to seek a vaccine against N. meningitidis-induced meningitis, especially serogroup B other than a capsular polysaccharide vaccine.
- LPS Lipopolysaccharide
- LPS is not only toxic, it is also immunogenic. In mammals, anti-LPS antibodies are generated during carriage and infection and may be protective. Thus, the use of LPS has already been considered in the prophylaxis of infections due to Gram-negative bacteria and associated diseases.
- LPS The structure of LPS consists of a lipid moiety, called lipid A, covalently bound to a polysaccharide moiety.
- Lipid A is responsible for the toxicity of LPS. It is highly hydrophobic and allows to anchor the LPS in the outer membrane of the wall.
- Lipid A is composed of a disaccharide structure substituted with fatty acid chains. The number and composition of fatty acid chains vary from one species to another.
- the polysaccharide moiety consists of carbohydrate chains that are responsible for antigenicity. There are at least 3 major regions in this polysaccharide part:
- an inner core consisting of monosaccharides [one or more KDO (2-keto-3-desoxyoctulosonic acid) and one or more heptose (Hep)] invariant within the same bacterial species;
- an heptose-linked outer core consisting of various monosaccharides;
- LPS LPS
- non-enteric Gram-negative bacteria such as
- LPS lipooligosaccharide
- LPS LPS The structure of LPS varies not only from one species to another, but also within the same species.
- the outer core (or ⁇ chain) is variable depending on the type of oligosaccharide (substituent R1), attached to the glucose residue carried by heptose I.
- lipid A is essentially invariant
- the inner core which is also invariant, of two KDOs (2-keto, 3-desoxy, octulosonic acid) and two heptoses (HepI and HepII)
- heptose II substituted by two KDOs (2-keto, 3-desoxy, octulosonic acid
- HepI and HepII heptoses
- ⁇ -chain consisting of ⁇ -acetylated glucosamine (Glc ⁇ Ac) which may be non-O-acetylated.
- the R2 residue is commonly called ⁇ chain, when R2 is a glucose residue.
- N. meningitidis is classified into several immunotypes (IT L1 to L13), depending on their reactivity with a series of antibodies that recognize various epitopes on LOS (Achtman et al, 1992, J. Infect Dis 165: 53-68).
- the majority of N. meningitidis serogroup B invasive strains are of L3.7 immunotype as evidenced by the reactivity of these strains with a monoclonal antibody called 12.1.9. This monoclonal antibody is capable of recognizing each of the L3, L7 and L9 immunotypes (Gu et al, J.
- LOS can be sialylated (presence of N-acetyl neuraminic acid on the galactose residue (GaI) terminal of the ⁇ chain).
- GaI galactose residue
- the L3 and L7 immunotypes differ only in the respective presence / absence of this sialylation.
- most LOS are substituted with an O-acetyl moiety on the glucosamine residue ( ⁇ -GlcNAc) of the inner core (Wakarchuk et al (1998) Eur J. Biochem 254: 626, Gamian et al. 1992) J.
- Ipu and lo Off-locus genes are Ipu and lo.
- the Ip ⁇ gene encodes a PEA transferase. This enzyme has the ability to attach a phosphoethanolamine (PEA) residue at the O-3 position of heptose II.
- the lo ⁇ gene encodes an LOS O-acetyltransferase that has the ability to O-acetylate the ⁇ chain. It is subject to phase variation.
- the lgt-1 locus has 7 genes: IgtA, IgtB, IgtC, IgtD, IgtE, Igt, and IgtZ each encoding a particular glycosyl transferase.
- IgtA and IgtC are subject to phase variation.
- IgtE and IgtR exhibit allelic variation: the codon determining the amino acid at position 153 codes for either a threonine residue (and in this case the resulting enzyme is a Gal-transferase); either for a methionine residue (and in this case the resulting enzyme is a Glc-transferase).
- the lgt-1 locus is classified into 8 genetic types (Zhu et al., Microbiology (2002) 148: 1833).
- the locus / gt-2 has 2 genes: IgtF and igtK encoding glycosylases.
- the product of the IgtF gene is involved in the construction of the ⁇ chain by allowing the glucose residue to be fixed on heptose I and thus does not interfere with the nature of the immunotype; nor the IgtK gene for that matter.
- the lgt-3 locus has 2 genes: / g / G and Ipt ⁇ .
- the igtG gene encodes an Ices synthetase that has the ability to attach a glucose residue at the O-3 position of IL heptose.
- the Ipt ⁇ gene encodes a PEA transferase that has the ability to attach a phosphoethanolamine (PEA) substituent. position O-6 or O-7 of heptose IL
- PEA phosphoethanolamine
- the lgt-3 locus is classified into 5 genetic types (Wright et al., J. Bact. (Oct. 2004): 6970).
- the carbohydrate motif Gal ⁇ 1-4GlcNAc ⁇ 1-3Gal ⁇ 1-4Glc ⁇ 1-4 or lacto-N-neotetraose motif which is present in the ⁇ chain of certain immunotypes of LOS of JV. meningitidis, is an epitope that can potentially cross-react with human erythrocytes.
- an LOS that does not have this pattern. It may therefore be particularly advantageous to use an LOS derived from immunotype L6 or L8 strains.
- the subject of the invention is a vaccinal pharmaceutical composition against N. meningitidis infections, which comprises:
- a LOS of N. meningitidis consisting in particular of a lipid A, an inner core, an L8-type ⁇ chain, in which the heptose residue II of the inner core (a) bears in position O-3 a phosphoethanolamine (PEA) substituent and does not carry a PEA substituent at the O-6 and O-7 positions; or (b) has a phosphoethanolamine (PEA) substituent at the 0-3 position and the 0-6 or 0-7 position; and
- a vaccine according to the invention comprises: (i) a LOS of N. meningitidis consisting in particular of a lipid A, an inner core, an L8-type ⁇ chain, in which the heptose residue II of the inner core carries in position O-3 a phosphoethanolamine (PEA) substituent and does not carry a PEA substituent at the 0-6 and O-7 positions;
- a LOS of N. meningitidis consisting in particular of a lipid A, an inner core, an L8-type ⁇ chain, in which the heptose residue II of the inner core carries in position O-3 a phosphoethanolamine (PEA) substituent and does not carry a PEA substituent at the 0-6 and O-7 positions;
- PEA phosphoethanolamine
- N. meningitidis consisting in particular of a lipid A, an inner core, an L8-type ⁇ chain, in which the heptose II residue of the inner core bears a phosphoethanolamine (PEA) substituent, in position O-3 and in position O-6 or O-7; and (iii) N. meningitidis TbpB or a lipid fragment thereof.
- PEA phosphoethanolamine
- a composition according to the invention can (i) prevent at least 60%, advantageously at least 70%, preferably at least 80% of infections caused by N. meningitidis, especially serogroup B or (ii) prevent infections due to at least at 60%, advantageously at least 70%, preferably at least 80% of N. meningitidis strains including serogroup B.
- composition according to the invention does not contain OMV (outer membrane vesicle) of N. meningitidis.
- the LOS consisting in particular of a lipid A 5 of an inner core, of an L8 type ⁇ chain, in which the heptose II residue of the inner core carries a phosphoethanolamine (PEA) substituent.
- PPA phosphoethanolamine
- the LOS comes from a strain of serogroup A.
- a vaccine according to the invention by using an LOS consisting in particular of a lipid A, an inner core, an ⁇ chain type L8, in which the Heptose II residue of the inner core carries a phosphoethanolamine (PEA) substituent in the 0-3 position and does not carry a PEA substituent at the O-6 and O-7 positions.

- such an LOS originates from an L8 immunotype strain, preferably serogroup A. It is also proposed to obtain such an LOS from a N. meningitidis strain of L6 immunotype modified in such a way. that it expresses an Ip ⁇ gene and that it no longer expresses the Ipt6 and IgtA genes.
- the starting strain that can be used for modification purposes may be strain C708 deposited on March 11, 2008, with the National Collection of Microorganism Culture, 25 rue du Dr Roux 75015 Paris, according to the terms of the Budapest Treaty.
- This strain has the order number CNCM I-3942.
- This strain possesses, inter alia, an active IgtA gene (gene lit "ON”); an igtB gene (non-functional gene); an igtG gene off ("Off”); a truncated Ip ⁇ gene; an active I ⁇ t6 gene; a lofa active gene; and an active msbB gene.
- Strain C708 has a truncated IpB gene. To modify it so that the LOS carries a PEA substituent at position 03, the functionality of the Ipt3 gene can be restored, in particular by homologous recombination making use of a complete Ipf ⁇ gene (full-length).
- this strain is also appropriate to deactivate the iptA and Iptd genes to obtain a strain that no longer expresses these genes.
- the deactivation of these genes may in particular be carried out by total or partial deletion of the IptA and Ipt ⁇ genes or else by intra- genic insertion of an irrelevant sequence, for example of an antibiotic resistance gene.
- an LOS for use in a composition according to the invention has a ⁇ chain which is O-acetylated, at least partially.
- LOS can be obtained by conventional means: in particular, it can be extracted from a bacterial culture; then purified according to conventional methods. Numerous methods of obtaining are described in the literature. For example, La., Westphal & Jann, (1965) Meth. Carbohydr. Chem. 5:83; Gu & Tsai, 1993, Infect. Immun. 61 (5): 1873; Wu et al., 1987, Anal. Biochem. 160: 281 and US 6,531,131. An LOS preparation can be quantified according to well-known procedures. The determination of KDO by high performance anion exchange chromatography (HPAEC-PAD) is a particularly suitable method. Detoxification of LOS
- LOS For incorporation into a vaccine, LOS needs to be detoxified.
- the toxicity of LOS is due to its lipid A. Nevertheless, it is not imperative to remove lipid A in its entirety; nor to modify it for example by mutation (e.g. mutation msbB minus). Indeed, the toxicity being more particularly related to a supramolecular conformation conferred by all the fatty acid chains carried by the disaccharide ring of the lipid, according to an advantageous mode, it is sufficient to act on these chains.
- the detoxification can be obtained according to various approaches: chemical, enzymatic, genetic or even by complexation with a polymixin B analog peptide or by incorporation / formulation into liposomes.
- the level of detoxification of LOS can be assessed according to one of two standard tests:
- the pyrogenic test in rabbits This test, the calculations and their reading and were performed according to the principles set out by the European Pharmacopoeia (Edition 6.0, paragraph 2.6.8.).
- the LAL test (Limulus Amebocyte Lysate) carried out according to the principles stated by the European Pharmacopoeia (Edition 6.0, paragraph 2.6.14.).
- the chemical approach is to treat LOS with a chemical agent.
- the LOS is subjected to a mild acid hydrolysis with acetic acid which removes the lipid A and the or KDOs in branching when the latter (these) is
- the LOS is subjected to a de-O-acylation, preferably primary, the. by treatment with hydrazine which hydrolyzes the esterified primary fatty acid chains of lipid A.
- a de-O-acylation preferably primary
- hydrazine which hydrolyzes the esterified primary fatty acid chains of lipid A.
- the enzymatic approach consists in putting the LOS in the presence of lipases capable of digesting the esterified fatty acid chains of the lipid A.
- lipases are produced by the amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum.
- the amoeba is cultured together (co-culture) and a gram-negative bacterium capable of being phagocytosed by the amoeba, such as N. meningitidis.
- the supernatant is then recovered and the LOS is extracted from the supernatant, which is then free of fatty acid chains.
- acyloxyacyl hydrolase produced by certain human cells (WO 87/07297 Munford R.) or by Salmonella typhimurium (Trent et al 2001 J. Biol Chem 276: 9083-9092, Reynolds et al., 2006 J. Biol Chem 281: 21974-21987) (enzyme encoded by the genes PagL or LpxR in the latter case).
- the genetic approach consists of using an LOS produced by a bacterial strain whose genotype is such that the entity of LOS normally responsible for its toxicity (lipid A and more particularly the lipid tails of lipid A) has a degree of toxicity largely reduced or even nonexistent.
- a bacterial strain can be conveniently obtained by mutation. From a wild strain (that is to say producing a toxic LOS), it is then a question of inactivating by mutation certain genes involved in the biosynthesis of the fatty acid chains or in their attachment on the nucleus. disaccharide lipid A. Thus, it can be expected to inactivate the genes ipxl ⁇ or ipxLl (also called htrBl I J ⁇ trB2) of N.
- meningitidis or their equivalents in other species for example, the equivalent of genes IpxLl and lpxL2 meningococcus are called respectively msbB or ipxM and htrB or ipxL in E. col).
- An inactivating mutation in one of these genes leads to an LOS lacking one or two secondary acyl chains.
- IpxL1 or L2 mutants of N. meningitidis or Haemophilus influenzae are in particular described in patent applications WO 00/26384, US 2004/0171133 and WO 97/019688.
- the endogenous gene ipxA can also be replaced by the homologous gene from E.
- a fourth approach consists in complexing the LOS with a polymixin B analogue peptide, as described, for example, in the patent application WO 06/108586.
- LOS complexed and therefore detoxified is called endotoxoid.
- the polymixin B analogue used in the composition of an endotoxoid useful for the purposes of the present invention may be any peptide capable of detoxifying LOS by simple complexation. Such peptides are described in particular in patents or patent applications US Pat. No. 6,951,652, EP 976,402 and WO 06/06/108586.

- LOS detoxified into liposomes When LOS is formulated into liposomes, it does not necessarily appear necessary to detoxify it beforehand. Indeed, LOS in liposomes - that is to say, associated with the lipid bilayer forming liposomes - can see its toxicity decrease very substantially. The extent of this decay, up to a substantial loss, is in part a function of the nature of the components forming the liposome. Thus, when positively charged components (cationic components) are used, the loss of toxicity may be greater than with non-charged (neutral) or anionic components.

- N. meningitidis TbpB The N meningitidis TbpB, as naturally produced by N. meningitidis, is a lipoprotein. Nevertheless, it can advantageously be produced recombinantly in an expression system which makes it possible, in particular, to ensure lipidation of the polypeptide within the body responsible for expression.
- lipidated TbpB is a recombinant TbpB - i.e., recombinantly produced, eg in a heterologous expression system.
- An expression system typically employs an expression cassette and a prokaryotic or eukaryotic (yeast) host cell.
- the expression cassette codes for a precursor of TbpB (also called pro-TbpB).
- This precursor consists of a signal sequence characteristic of a lipoprotein and the sequence of the mature protein having a cysteine residue in the N-terminal position.
- the three amino acids at the C-terminal position of the signal sequence as well as the Cysteine residue at the N-terminal position of the mature sequence constitute the cleavage site (also called lipobox):
- This lipobox typically has the following sequence: Leu-Ser / Ala - Ala / Gly - Cys.
- a typical signal sequence is that of Lpp lipoprotein E.
- the polynucleotide sequence encoding the amino acid sequence of TbpB is fused at 5 'to a suitable signal sequence.
- N. meningitidis TbpB is like any protein, defined by an amino acid sequence. Within the species, this amino acid sequence may exhibit some degree of variability without affecting the biological function of the lipoprotein. We then speak of "allelic variant". At a TbpB of N. meningitidis, correspond a multiplicity of sequences presenting between them a certain degree of identity, each of the sequences coming from a particular strain, one being the allelic variant of the other.

- the dry film is taken up in 30 ml of 10 mM Tris buffer pH 7.0 to obtain a suspension containing 13.333 mg of lipids / ml (8.42 mg / ml of EDOPC and 4.91 mg / ml of DOPE). The suspension is stirred for 1 hr at room temperature and then sonicated for 5 min in a bath.
- a composition is prepared under sterile conditions by bringing together LOS and lipids in a lipid: LOS molar ratio of 250 (0.160 mg / ml of LOS, 9.412 mg / ml of lipids and 100 mM of OG). 40 ml of such a composition results from the mixture of the following preparations:
- the suspension After stirring for one hour at room temperature, the suspension is transferred sterilely into 4 sterile 10 ml dialysis cassettes. Each cassette is dialyzed 3 times (24 hrs - 24 hrs - 72 hrs) against 200 volumes of 10 mM Tris pH 7.0 or 2 L. The liposomes are recovered under sterile conditions. The volume increase after dialysis is approximately 30%.
- merthiolate and NaCl are added to obtain a liposome preparation in 10 mM Tris, 150 mM NaCl, pH 7.0, 0.001% Merthiolate which contains in fine approximately 110 ⁇ g / ml of LOS and 7 mg / ml of lipids. of which approximately 4.5 mg / ml EDOPC and approximately 2.5 mg / ml DOPE (theoretical concentrations).
- the liposomes are adjusted to the required concentration of LOS (especially for immunogenicity tests) in 10 mM Tris 150 mM NaCl pH 7.4. The concentration of merthiolate is maintained at 0.001%. 4. Preparation of a mixture liposomes [LOS] + rTbpB
- RTbpB was mixed in PBS (section B.1.3.) With liposomes [LOS] (section B.3.) In a ratio weight: weight rTbpB: LOS equal to 1. Then 10 mM Tris buffer was added, NaCl 150 mM, pH 7.4 to obtain a preparation in which each of the components (rTbpB and LOS) is concentrated at 80 ⁇ g / ml. The concentration of merthiolate is maintained at 0.001%.
- the rabbits of each group receive in a volume of 0.5 ml divided into 2 concomitant intramuscular injections in the legs, at OJ, J21 and J42: Group A: 40 ⁇ g of liposomes [LOS ⁇ chain L8, PEA-3, PEA-6] and 40 ⁇ g rTbpB M982, in 10 mM Tris buffer, 150 mM NaCl pH 7.4; Group B: 40 ⁇ g of liposomes [LOS ⁇ L8 chain, PEA-3, PEA-6] and 40 ⁇ g rTbpB
- Group C 40 ⁇ g of liposomes [LOS ⁇ L8 chain, PEA-3] and 40 ⁇ g rTbpB M982, in 10 mM Tris buffer 150 mM NaCl pH 7.4;
- Group D 40 ⁇ g of liposomes [LOS ⁇ L8 chain, PEA-3, PEA-6] in 10 mM Tris buffer 150 mM NaCl pH 7.4;
- Group E 40 ⁇ g rTbpB M982 and 40 ⁇ g of liposomes without LOS in 10 mM Tris buffer 150 mM NaCl, 0.5% Tween pH 7.0;
- Group F 40 ⁇ g rTbpB B 16B6 and 40 ⁇ g of liposomes without LOS in Tris buffer 10 mM NaCl 150 mM, 0.5% Tween pH 7.0;
- Group G 40 ⁇ g of liposomes [LOS ⁇ L8 chain, PEA-3] in 10 mM Tris buffer 150 mM NaCl pH 7.4;
- Group H Tris buffer 10 mM NaCl 150 mM pH 7.4
- the IgGs were purified by affinity chromatography using the HiTrap rProtein A FF column (GE Healthcare / Amersham Biosciences) according to the supplier's recommendations.
- the bactericidal activity of the purified IgGs was tested against the strains mentioned in Table II below.
- a culture of JV strains is carried out. meningitidis in BHI medium supplemented or not for 2 h 30 with Desferal 50 ⁇ M (iron chelating agent in free form, which allows the expression of TbpB).
- Bacteria + inactivated rabbit baby complement + test serum (serum control).
- the bactericidal titer is expressed as being the reverse of the dilution giving 50% of bacterial death as compared with the complement control.
- Bacterium test 34 strains of N. meningitidis were tested in cross-bacterial bacteria. Their names appear in Table II below.
- the bactericidal activity of the purified IgGs is expressed in "fold increase".
- the "fold increase” is the bactericidal titre ratio of the purified IgGs of the interest group: bactericidal titre of the corresponding negative control group.
- the fold increase seroconversion rate measures the increase in the bactericidal titre. It is considered that bactericidal activity is significant when a factor x 8 is observed between the interest group and the corresponding negative control group ("fold increase" greater than or equal to x 8).
- the purified IgGs from the negative control immunization group show no bactericidal activity against any of the strains ("fold increase" less than x4).
- Purified IgGs from immunization groups D and G show cross-bacterial disease of less interest. Only the bacterial results expressed in "fold increase” obtained with the purified IgGs of groups A, B, C, E and F are presented in Table II below. Table III presents the bactericidal results expressed as "fold increase”. fold increase, purified IgGs from group A, against 22 strains cultured in the presence / absence of Desferal.
- Table IV shows, for various vaccine compositions, the percentage of protection deduced from the cross-bacterial study including 34 strains cultivated in the presence of Desferal.
- Table II (i)
- L6 means an LOS having an ⁇ chain of type L6
- L8 means an LOS having an ⁇ chain of type L8
- PEA-3 means that LOS has a single PEA substituent at position 3 of heptose II
- PEA-3, -6 means that LOS has a PEA substituent at the 3-position and a PEA substituent at the 6-position of IL heptose
