Definitions

  • T-lymphocytes play a central role in triggering an immune response in the organism through their interaction with specific target cells or antigen-presenting cells (APC).
  • APC antigen-presenting cells
  • One of the effector functions of T cells relates to cell-mediating cytotoxicity, which presupposes that the cytotoxic T cells adhere to the corresponding target cells.
  • T helper cells which have a regulatory effect on other effector cells in the immune response, recognize an antigen on the surface of an APC in connection with major histocompatibility molecules (HLA) of class II. The interaction of the T cell / APC is also necessary here.
  • HLA major histocompatibility molecules
  • T cells can be linked either via the antigen receptor (J. Immunol. 129: 2293 (1982); Nature 303: 808 (1983); J. Exp. Med. 157: 1149 (1983)) by binding the nominal antigen activated with class II molecules of the HLA complex or via the CD2 molecule, a 50 KD glycoprotein which is expressed on all human thymocytes and mature T cells (Cell 36: 897 (1984)).
  • T cells can be activated by a combination of specific monoclonal antibodies that target different regions of the CD2 molecule.
  • CD58 is a glycoprotein with a molecular weight of 60-70 KD and is expressed on a number of body cells.
  • Two forms of the CD58 molecule are known: a transmembrane and a so-called phosphatidyl-inositol (P ⁇ ) -linked form, here the molecule is anchored directly in the cell membrane and has no cytoplasmic part.
  • CD58 binds to CD2 on the T cell surface.
  • the binding of CD58 on the part of the target cell to CD2 on the part of the T lymphocytes plays a decisive role in the intercellular adhesion, for example in the interaction of thymocytes / epithelial cells of the thymus or in the process of cytolysis, with cytotoxic T cells binding to their target cells to set the so-called "lethal hit”.
  • Monoclonal antibodies specific for CD2 and CD58 both inhibit the cytolytic activity of
  • T-cell and cell-cell interactions The binding between the molecules CD2 and CD58 is crucial both for the interaction of endothelial cells / lymphocytes and for the recirculation of the lymphocytes.
  • the invention relates to a glycosylated protein with the
  • Sequence listing No. 1 given amino acid sequence and its biologically active fragments.
  • the protein and its fragments are produced in a known manner by genetic engineering, the DNA coding for the protein being obtained in accordance with
  • bacculovirus expression plasmid pAc436 is changed by in vitro mutagenesis in such a way that corresponding interfaces arise which make it possible to ligate the cDNA of the Pl-coupled CD58 into the mutated vector.
  • the construct of the vector / CD58 is propagated by transformation into E. coli bacteria and the DNA is purified.
  • the insect cells are then co-transfected with the wild-type DNA of the AcMNPV and the plasmid construct in order to subsequently use the supernatant to produce recombinant viruses which arise from homologous recombination, i.e.
  • a plaque test is carried out, which is evaluated visually or by hybridization with the radioactively labeled CD58 sample to determine whether recombinant viruses are present.
  • Such recombinant viruses are then used to infect the insect cells, which then produce viruses as well as the protein, which can be detected intracellularly or in the supernatant.
  • the insect cell line is available from ATCC. Wild-type viruses (AcMNPV) and the expression plasmid pAc436 are described in US Pat. No. 4,745,051, see also Biotechnology 6:47 (1988).
  • the protein is purified by affinity chromatography using a CD58-specific monoclonal antibody and then gel filtration. The identity of the protein is checked in gel electrophoresis, in Western blot and above all in biological tests.
  • the new soluble protein can be characterized by its inhibition of E-rosetting of T lymphocytes with sheep erythrocytes.
  • Human T-lymphocytes spontaneously form rosettes with red blood cells from sheep and humans.
  • the interaction between erythrocytes and T-lymphocytes is based on the binding of CD2 to CD58, which is expressed in the erythrocyte membrane.
  • the new soluble protein can also be characterized by its inhibitory properties in the mixed leukocyte reaction.
  • the mixed lymphocyte reaction is the in vitro equivalent of the graft rejection reaction.
  • lymphocytes are brought together with irradiated allogeneic non-lymphocytes. Since the allogeneic HLA molecules are recognized as "foreign" by lymphocytes, lymphocyte activation and the generation of cytotoxic effector cells occur. In order for cytotoxic T lymphocytes to perform their effector function, they must, among other things. Adhere to CD58 molecules on the membrane of the target cells via their specific receptors.
  • the properties of the new soluble protein can also be checked in so-called cytotoxicity tests, in which it is determined to what extent the new soluble protein is able to inhibit the cytotoxic properties of T cells, since the cytotoxic effector function of lymphocytes is also determined by adhesion and Activation processes that mediate the interaction between CD58 and CD2.
  • CD58 is present on all target cells and can interact with the CD2 of the effector cell.
  • the new soluble glycoprotein can be characterized by its costimulatory effects with certain monoclonal CD2-specific antibodies on the activation of T-lymphocytes in vitro. Like its fragments, it surprisingly shows the same biological activity as the membrane-bound form of the CD58 molecule. The protein and its fragments are thus able to bind to corresponding receptors on cells and thus prevent the interaction of these cells with other cells that express CD58 on the cell membrane.
  • the protein can be used in diagnostics for the detection of natural ligands or in the competitive ELISA of soluble circulating CD58 molecules. It is also suitable for the detection and separation of CD2 + cells.
  • the protein can also be used to treat diseases. It is particularly suitable as an immunosuppressant for combating chronic inflammation, such as rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, Crohn's disease, lupus erytematodes, and autoimmune diseases and transplant rejections. However, it can also be used for immune stimulation in the case of immune defects.
