Definitions
- This invention relates to epitopes of the env protein of the hepatitis C virus.
- this invention relates to peptides comprising epitopes of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) localized in the envelope surface viral protein (env), which are capable of reacting with antisera and/or with monoclonal antibodies and it also relates to the amino acids sequence of said epitopes, as well as to the nucleotide sequence coding for the sames.
- HCV hepatitis C virus
- env envelope surface viral protein
- the virus HCV is believed to be responsible for the hepatites classified as non-A/non-B (PT-NANB) (1).
- HCV hepatitis A
- the preparation of immunological tests requires the availability of synthetic peptides capable of mimicking the immunological activity of viral antigens.
- synthetic peptides capable of mimicking the immunological activity of viral antigens.
- the identification of specific protein portions, denominated epitopes, capable of reacting with antibodies is necessary due to the short length of synthetic peptides.
- tests which employ just the epitope of the protein are more sensitive and more accurate.
- RNA viruses are characterized by a high frequency of spontaneous mutation.
- variable and hypervariable domains have been identified in the sequences corresponding to the surface proteins (5 and EP 004191.82A1), possibly related to viral mechanisms of escaping of the immune response.
- NANB hepatitis becomes a chronic disease in about 50 % of patients. It is therefore very useful to identify epitopes of surface proteins both for diagnosis and for prognosis purposes.
- the Authors of this invention have identified variable regions with a high antigenic activity of the amino acid sequence of the env protein, and they have found that such regions correspond to epitopes of said protein.
- the Authors also have identified some variants of such regions by means of amplification of nucleic acids from serum samples; among such regions, one is coded by a HCV variant not disclosed before.
- the endemic distribution of the different viral variants of HCV virus makes it necessary to prepare assays able to detect epitopes of the different variants.
- the Authors have synthesized such epitopes in vitro for immunological assays on serum samples.
- an amino acid sequence comprising an epitope of the env protein of the HCV virus, preferably in the portion from the amino acid 209 to the amino acid 259, according to the numeration as given in (3).
- said sequences are included in the following group of sequences: SEQ ID N1, SEQ ID N2 and SEQ ID N3; preferably from the amino acid 13 to the amino acid 46 of SEQ ID N1, more preferably from the amino acid 21 to the amino acid 30 of SEQ ID N1; alternatively from the amino acid 13 to the amino acid 46 of SEQ ID N2, preferably from the amino acid 21 to the amino acid 30 of SEQ ID N2; alternatively from the amino acid 13 to the amino acid 47 of SEQ ID N3, preferably from the amino acid 21 to the amino acid 31 of SEQ ID N3.
- nucleotide sequence coding for an epitope of the env protein preferably comprised in one of the sequences of the following group: SEQ ID N1, SEQ ID N2, and SEQ ID N3; preferably comprising at least one fragment of 10 nucleotides of SEQ ID N3, more preferably the entire sequence of SEQ ID N3.
- the variant env 1 and env 2 are comprised in viral variants respectively known by those skilled in the art as HCV A1 (american isolate) and HCV J1 (japan isolate).
- the variant env 3 is coded by a viral variant which is not included in any HCV isolate disclosed up to the present invention, denominated HCV 3.
- Such variant differentiates mainly by the insertion of a histidine residue into a region delimited by 2 cyste- ines, which modifies the hydrophilic profile of the genie product ( Figures 1A, 1B and 1C).
- Such modification is of particular relevance for the analogy with the transmembrane region of the HIV1 surface protein (8, 9).
- Oligopeptides comprising respectively the sequence of the env protein from the amino acid 13 to the amino acid 32 of the SEQ ID N1 (the env 1 variant); the sequence of the env protein from the amino acid 13 to the amino acid 32 of SEQ ID N2 (the env 2 variant); the sequence of the env protein from the amino acid 13 to the amino acid 33 of SEQ ID N3 (the env 3 variant) are synthesized according to Merrifield's method (10), employing as the solid phase a polyamide resin "Pepsin K polyamide Kieselguliz" (Milligen, Novato, California), which had been previously functionalized with ethilendiamine and with 4-(alpha-Fmoc-amino- 2',4'-dimethoxybenzyl)phenoxyacetic acid.
- Merrifield's method 10
- the amino acids employed for the synthesis are protected on the side chains by tert-butyl groups and on the alpha-amino position with the F-moc group (9-fluoro-methyloxycarbonyl group).
- the guanidinium group of arginine and the imidazole group of histidine is respectively protected with the substituents consisting of the 2,2,5,7,8-pentamethylchroman- 6-sulfonyl and trityl groups.
- the carboxy group of the amino acids employed is activated by the formation of an ester-type bond with the pentafluorophenyl group.
- the synthesis is performed with the Milligen 9050 synthesizer (Novato, California) employing the continuous flow method.
- the removal of protection and the separation of the peptides from the resin are carried out by treatment with trifluoroacetic acid.
- the peptide sequence is checked with an automatic microsequencer (Portan Instruments).
- Oligopeptides comprising respectively the sequence of the env protein from the amino acid 21 to the amino acid 30 of the SEQ ID N1 (the env 1 variant); the sequence of the env protein from the amino acid 21 to the amino acid 30 of SEQ ID N2 (the env 2 variant); the sequence of the env protein from the amino acid 21 to the amino acid 31 of SEQ ID N3 (the env 3 variant) are synthesized according to the Example 1.
- the cyclization of a fraction of the peptides is carried out in the following way: the peptide is dissolved in water to a concentration of 0.1 mg/ml. The pH value is adjusted to 7 with 1M NH 4 OH. Potassium ferricyanide is then added slowly to the solution (400 mg K 3 Fe(CN) 6 in 200 ml of water) till persistence of the yellow colour. The disappearance of the free SH groups is obtained employing the method of Edman (11).
- the peptide is dissolved at 0.2 mg/ml in distilled/deionized water (Milliq) and the pH is adjusted to pH 8 using a solution of 3M NH.Cl. The solution is allowed to stir for four days and the loss of the free sulphide groups is monitored using the Edman titration. Briefly, 24 mg of 5-5'dithio-bis (2-nitrobenzoic acid) is dissolved in 5 ml of phosphate buffer pH 7. 20 ⁇ l of this solution is mixed with 1 ml of the peptide solution and the absorbance is read at 412 nm. After four days 96% of the free sulphide groups are disappeared.
- the ELISA assay is performed by dispensing 200 ⁇ l/well of sera, previously diluted, using a HCV negative serum, as sample diluent. The samples are incubated for 1 hr at 37°C. The plates are then washed five times with a solution containing 0.05% Tween-20, 0.1% BSA in 50mM phosphate buffer pH 7.4 (washing buffer) and incubated for 1 hr at 37°C with 200 ⁇ l of a solution containing goat IgG anti-human IgGs, conjugated with horse radish peroxidase (HRP).
- HRP horse radish peroxidase
- the serum utilized (21) belongs to the panel BBI mixed HCV (Boston Biomedica Inc.).
- the control HCV negative serum gives constantly values lower than 0.04.
