- the mucosa-binding protein exerts its function by forming a pentamer with five monomers.
- a vaccine is produced using a mucosa-binding protein
- a gene sequence in which the "antigen gene sequence" and the "monomeric gene sequence of the mucosa-binding protein" are combined into a vector using genetic engineering technology.
- the host is transformed with the vector, and a fusion protein 30 containing the antigen 10 and the monomer 20 is produced in the host as shown in FIG.
- the fusion protein 30 forms a pentamer (homotype pentamer) with the monomers 20 contained therein, and by administering this, induces an effective immune response as a vaccine.
- the present inventors have found that the method of using a mucosa-binding protein as a carrier of a vaccine antigen as described above has a limitation in the molecular weight of the fusible vaccine antigen. As shown in FIG. 2, when the antigen 12 having a large molecular weight is fused to the monomer 20, intermolecular interference between the fusion proteins 32 occurs, and pentamer formation may be inhibited. If the pentamer is not formed, mucosal administration of such a vaccine may result in ineffective immunization.
- the "mucosal sequence of the immunogenic amino acid sequence” and the “gene sequence of one monomer of the mucosa-binding protein” are combined with the “mucosal sequence".
- the gene sequence of one monomer of the binding protein is integrated into a vector, and the vector is used to transform a host. These genes are co-expressed in cells such as yeast, and as shown in FIG. 3, “fusion protein (fusion monomer) 32” and “antigen 12 not fused to monomer (non-fusion monomer) 20” Is generated.
- the fused monomer 32 and the unfused monomer 20 form a pentamer, but unlike the pentamer in FIGS.
- the antigen 12 is not fused to all the monomers (heteropentamer). Therefore, mutual interference between molecules during pentamer formation can be reduced, and fusion of a high molecular weight antigen, which has been difficult in the past, becomes possible.
- the heteropentamer includes the following six types (I-VI) depending on the type of the monomer that forms the pentamer.
- the heteropentamer of the present invention may include mainly the types of forces I and VI including the type of II-V.
- the heteropentamer is secreted in a large amount into a cell culture medium such as yeast which not only promotes the efficiency of pentamer formation.
- a cell culture medium such as yeast which not only promotes the efficiency of pentamer formation.
- subsequent separation and purification of the recombinant molecule is simplified, and protein production at an industrial level becomes possible.
- the hetero-type fusion protein antigen significantly enhances the efficiency of pentamer molecule formation as compared with the homo-type fusion protein antigen, and thus has a pentameric antigen having mucosal immunogenicity in host cells. The amount increases. Therefore, it is possible to improve the effect of intestinal immunization by direct oral administration of a host (plant, yeast, etc.) that holds a vaccine containing a heteropentamer in the cytoplasm.
- Examples of the fusion monomer of the present invention include a fusion monomer protein having an amino acid sequence of an amino acid sequence of an antigen derived from the Japanese encephalitis virus envelope protein and a mucosa-binding protein.

(Plasmid) or linearized and inserted into the chromosome of the nucleus or chloroplast.
- the “fused monomer gene sequence” and “non-fused monomer gene sequence” are eukaryotic monocistronic expression forms, each of which forms an expression unit holding its own promoter 'terminator sequence.
- a ribosome-binding sequence such as IRES, which is important for the expression of multiple genes, may be retained between them, or the two genes may form an operon in a prokaryotic polycyst expression form.
- IRES ribosome-binding sequence
- each of the “fusion gene sequence” and “non-fusion monomer sequence” may be present in multiple copies in the host cell, and the ratio of the numbers is not necessarily 1: 1.
- Heteropentamers are capable of binding to GM-gandarioside while providing an amino acid sequence with immunogenicity. Therefore, this heteropentamer can be used as a vaccine, particularly as a mucosal (nasal, oral, etc.) administration type vaccine. Heteropentamers are capable of binding to GM gandariosides, with sufficient amino acid sequence of the B subunit of enterotoxin to ADP-ribosylate GTPases.
- Heteropentamers are composed of LTB or CTB forces!
- the amino acid sequence of the natural B subunit, LTB or CTB may actually be modified by substitution, insertion or deletion of one or more amino acids.
- Antibodies raised against the natural B subunit can bind to a fusion protein that also has a modified form of the amino acid sequence of that subunit.
- modified amino acid sequences can be used as long as the modified amino acid sequence forms an inserted monomeric pentamer and retains the ability to bind to GM gandarioside.
- the physicochemical properties of the original sequence such as charge density, hydrophilicity Z hydrophobicity, size and configuration must be preserved. If a candidate for substitution is indicated by a single character code (Eur. J.

- the preparation of the heteropentamer depends on the availability of the DNA sequence encoding the fused and unfused monomers.
- the DNA sequence can be provided at its 5 'end with a sequence encoding a leader peptide for the fused and unfused monomer so that the cytoplasm of the host cell in which the fused and unfused monomer is expressed is released. Any suitable leader arrangement Columns are available. However, usually, the DNA encoding the native leader sequence of the B subunit is located immediately upstream of the DNA encoding the amino acid sequence of the mature B subunit residue.
- codons that specify the residues of the linker portion is important.
- at least half of the codons are rare codons for amino acid residues in the host expressing the fusion protein.

- it must not be the second choice codon.
- At least 75%, at least 95% or all of the codons in the linker portion can be rare codons.
- Such codons in E. coli have been reported by Sharp & Li (1986).

It is a gene expression vector having a host-specific promoter / terminator single nucleotide sequence.
- the coding sequence of the linker portion is selected so that it ends at a restriction site where insertion of a gene encoding an amino acid sequence having immunogenicity is possible.
- This restriction site allows insertion of the gene in the correct reading frame. That is, the gene sequence of the fusion monomer must be translated into a single full-length fusion protein when the protein is translated.
- the B subunit is LTB
- a vector capable of expressing LTB must first be cloned into the vector under the control of appropriate transcriptional and translational regulatory elements from the LTB gene (Dallas, 1983). Obtained by this. Oligonucleotides corresponding to the linker portion can be synthesized and adapted to the 3 'end of the LTB gene.
- the DNA sequence encoding the linker portion can be cloned into the Spel site located at the natural termination codon at the 3 'end of the LTB gene.

- the vector can be a plasmid.
- bacterial or yeast hosts can be used, for example Gram-negative bacilli such as E. coli or Vibrio species, or S. cerevisiae.
- the vector can be a viral vector. It can be used and expressed by transfection into cells of a mammalian cell line, such as Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells or COS cells.
- the generated heteropentamer can be isolated.

- the present invention provides a homopentameric component vaccine for Japanese encephalitis, and its production method, method of use as a vaccine, and the like are as follows. It is the same as the above-mentioned heteropentamer except that only the DNA encoding the fusion protein with the monomer of the mucosa-binding protein is inserted into the vector. A host into which such a vector has been inserted produces only a fusion protein and forms a homopentamer.
- the Japanese encephalitis virus coat protein was used as an antigen, but the present invention is applicable to other antigens and is not limited to this example!
- a 5 ′ primer (SEQ ID NO: 3) and a 3 ′ primer (SEQ ID NO: 4) of JEV ⁇ were prepared, and PCR was performed using DNA derived from Japanese encephalitis virus isolate (jaOH0566 strain) as a template.
- the PCR amplification product was digested with EcoRI (G / AATTC) and purified.
- CTB DNA was inserted into a yeast expression vector pA0815 (manufactured by Invitrogen Corporation, trade name: Multicopy Pic hia Expression Kit). This was EcoRI-treated in the same manner as the PCR amplification product.
- This yeast expression vector pA0815-CTB containing the CTB gene was EcoRI-treated: feJEV DNA was inserted so that the fusion gene was in a positive U ⁇ frame.
- a sequence encoding the hinge region was inserted downstream of the CTB gene.
- the presence of the GPGP sequence between the CTBiJEVIIs in the fusion protein makes it possible to reduce intermolecular interference between the two protein sites. This also works effectively for CTB pentamer formation, acquiring the pentamer of the fusion protein and its GM1-Gandarioside binding properties.
- Glycine (G) has the smallest side chain (H) among the 20 amino acids, and peptide (P) is suitable as a hinge because the angle between the amino and carboxyl groups is right. .
- Escherichia coli XL-1-Blue strain was transformed with the plasmid DNA using the electoporation method, and ampicillin-resistant bacteria were selected on LB-Amp medium.
- Ampicillin-resistant bacterial plasmid vector was isolated and sequenced using a DNA sequence analyzer (AGT ATG GCA AAT- [CTB] -GGC CCC GGT CCA— [GPGP (linker part)] — GAA TTC— [EcoRI] —ACC TAT GGC ATG-QiEV EIII domain N ′ terminal sequence]).
- the DNA base sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO: 2, and the amino acid sequence generated thereby is shown in SEQ ID NO: 1.
- the base sequence from 1 to 372 shown in SEQ ID NO: 2 is derived from CTB, the base sequence from 373 to 384 is a linker part, the base sequence from 385 to 390 is an EcoRI site, — Sequence sequence up to 882 JEV ⁇ domain N 'terminal sequence.
- the prepared plasmid vector pA0815-CTBJEV EIII was treated with BamHI (G / GATCC) enzyme, treated with CIAP (Calf intestinal alkaline phosphatase), and purified.
- BamHI G / GATCC
- CIAP Calf intestinal alkaline phosphatase
- the plasmid vector pA0815-CTB was treated with BamHlZBglll, followed by agarose gel electrophoresis, and the band of the DNA fragment containing the CTB expression cassette was purified from the gel.
- Plasmid vector pA0815 -CTBJEV Plasmid vector pA0815 -CTBJEV
- EIIIZCTB is also purified from recombinant Escherichia coli and transformed into yeast (Pichia pastoris GS 115 strain). For introduction, it was cut at Sail, purified, and electroporated at 1.5 kV. 1 M sorbitol was cultivated and cultured in MD medium at 28 ° C for 2-3 days. After the culture, the yeast was cultured to confirm that it was expressed in the yeast colony. The cells were precultured in a BMMG medium at 30 ° C. and 250 rpm for 16 to 24 hours. Next, the mixture was transferred to a BMMY culture solution, 1% methanol was added every 24 hours, and the cells were cultured at 30 ° C. and 250 rpm for 72 hours. After the culture for 72 hours, the culture was centrifuged at 3000 rpm for 10 minutes to separate the culture supernatant from the cells, thereby obtaining a culture supernatant.
- ELISA analysis was performed on the obtained culture supernatant.
- a CTB-JEV fusion protein (homopentamer) was expressed in Escherichia coli in the same manner as in Example 1 except that only the DNA in which JEV and CTB were bound was inserted into the vector.
- the Escherichia coli body expressing the CTB-JEV fusion protein was crushed to remove the CTB-JE fusion protein and purified by column.
- the purified cells (CTB-JEV fusion protein), the JEV vaccine, the mixture of the purified cells and CTB, the mixture of the JEV vaccine and CTB were administered to mice intranasally (in) and intraperitoneally (ip) ( (Dose: 18 gZ, number of administrations: 4 times, each group: 4).
- ip intraperitoneally
- N negative control
- Blood was collected and JEV-specific serum IgG levels were measured by ELISA.
- Fig. 6 shows the results.
- Fig. 7 shows the results.
- the correspondence between Fig. 7 and Fig. 6 is as follows.
- the CTB-JEV fusion protein (homopentamer) was expressed in agrobacterium in the same manner as in Example 1 except that only the DNA in which JEV and CTB were bound was inserted into the vector.
- CTB DNA was inserted into the yeast expression vector PA0815, and CTB was expressed in the yeast.
- CTB was roughly purified from the culture supernatant of yeast that secretes CTB, and enteric coated with calcium inclusion (CalShellZCTB).
- a phosphate buffer solution was similarly enteric-coated with calcium (CalShellZPBS).
- the enteric processed product and the recombinant yeast were orally administered to the mouse as they were (dosage: enteric processed product 0.5 gZ, yeast 0.5 gZ, number of administrations: 5 times, each group: 4). Blood was collected before immunization and after these administrations, and CTB-specific serum IgG levels were measured by ELISA.
- Fig. 8 shows the results.
- heteropentamer or homopentamer of the present invention can be used as a vaccine for humans or animals.
