Definitions
- the invention relates to the field of medicine.
- the invention further relates to vaccines providing protection against influenza infection and to methods and means of obtaining these.
- Influenza viruses are the etiological agents of flu, a highly contagious respiratory illness that has afflicted humans since ancient times. The virus was first identified in 1933, but numerous epidemics almost certainly attributable to influenza were reported throughout the centuries (Potter 1998). There have been three major cases of outbreaks of influenza in the last century. The so-called 'Spanish flu' of 1918 was particularly severe. It resulted in the death of an estimated 20 to 40 million people worldwide, the most severe recorded outbreak of human disease known in history. In 1957 the 'Asian flu' killed an estimated 1 million people, and in 1968 the 'Hong-Kong flu' was lethal for more than 700,000 individuals.
- HA hemagglutinin
- the HA gene was one of the first genes of the influenza virus to be identified and sequenced. It codes for a trans-membrane protein directly involved in attachment to and penetration into the host cell. HA initiates infection by binding to terminal sialyl-oligosaccharide receptor determinants present on glycoproteins and gangliosides present on the host cell surface. Terminal sialic acid residues of natural sialyl- glycoproteins and gangliosides are known to be the minimum determinants of binding. However, binding depends also on the type of sialic acid linkage to penultimate galactose and on the structure of more distant parts of the sialyl-glycoconjugate.
- Human influenza viruses bind preferentially to receptors containing the sialic acid alpha-2,6-galactose (SAalpha2,6Gal) linkage, whereas avian viruses use the SAalpha2,3Gal linkage (reviewed in Suzuki 1994). This binding specificity determines also the cell tropism of the virus inside the host. Human influenza virus infection (and replication) are restricted to the respiratory tract, whereas avian influenza virus is found mainly in the cells lining the intestinal tract as well as in the lungs of birds.
- SAalpha2,6Gal sialic acid alpha-2,6-galactose
- SAalpha2,3Gal residues have a replicative advantage over virus variants that interact more specifically to SAalpha2,6Gal residues.
- the SAalpha2,3Gal- specific virus variants are thus selected for in embryonated eggs (Gambaryan et al. 1999; Gambaryan et al. 1997).
- Egg-adaptation not only increases the affinity for SAalpha2,3Gal, but it also results in decreased affinity for SAalpha2,6Gal.
- HA in fact cannot accommodate both types of analogues equally well, and multiple mutations have been identified that confer this altered binding specificity (Daniels et al. 1987; Gambaryan et al. 1999; Ito et al. 1997; Suzuki et al. 1989).

- EPO erythropoietin
- the invention provides methods for selective propagation of a set of virus particles present in an isolate, wherein said cell comprises a nucleic acid encoding a sialyltransferase that is heterologous to said cell.
- said nucleic acid encoding a sialyltransferase is integrated into the genome of said cell.
- Such an integrated nucleic acid is preferably stably integrated through the use of selection markers such as the hygromycin and neomycin resistance genes.
- the present invention also provides human cells comprising a heterologous nucleic acid encoding an alpha2,6 sialyltransferase or an alpha2,3 sialyltransferase.
- said nucleic acid is integrated into the genome of said human cell.
- the invention also provides the use of such cells for the selective propagation of virus particles, preferably being influenza virus particles.
- the present invention provides optimization of a process for propagation of primary isolates of human influenza virus. Also, the present invention provides optimization of a process for propagating primary as well as laboratory isolates of influenza viruses using the SAalpha2,6Gal or SAalpha2,3Gal (or both) glycosylation moieties present on cell surface glycoproteins.
- human influenza viruses recognize the SAalpha2,6Gal moiety
- the avian influenza viruses recognize the SAalpha2,3Gal moiety.
- the swine influenza viruses generally utilize both residues.
- the invention provides optimization of a process for propagation of any virus for which the replication depends on the activity of alpha2,3 sialyltransferase and/or alpha2,6 sialyltransferase, or more generally, on the presence of SAalpha2,3Gal or SAalpha2,6Gal residues.
- the methods of the present invention comprise the use of cells in a culture medium. As an example of such a process, human cells were taken that are known to support efficient replication and production of influenza viruses.
- the cells of the present invention are not only useful for the propagation of influenza viruses. It is well known in the art that other viruses such as Adeno-Associated Virus (AAV), human poliomavirus and parainfluenza viruses utilize the alpha2,3 and alpha2,6 linkages in glycoproteins for infection (Liu et al. 1998; Suzuki et al. 2001; Walters et al. 2001). Therefore the present invention also provides methods for (selective) production and/or propagation of other viruses that use these glycosylation structures for recognition and infection of the targeted cell. Furthermore, the invention provides the use of the cells of the invention and the methods and means for the production of viruses other than influenza and for the production of vaccines against such viruses, if applicable.
- AAV Adeno-Associated Virus
- human poliomavirus and parainfluenza viruses utilize the alpha2,3 and alpha2,6 linkages in glycoproteins for infection (Liu et al. 1998; Suzuki et al. 2001; Walters et al
- the invention therefore also provides vaccines against viruses that utilize the SAalpha2,3Gal and the SAalpha2,6Gal residues for cellular recognition and infectivity. It has been previously demonstrated that PER.C6TM cells (ECACC deposit 96022940) represent an ideal substrate for the propagation of influenza virus and that the production levels from PER.C6 resulted in high-titer preparations suitable for vaccine purposes (WO 01/38362).
- a novel cell line provided by the present invention named 'PER.C6-alpha2,6ST' is derived from PER.C6 through the following process: a plasmid harboring a nucleic acid encoding human alpha2,6 sialyltransferase under the control of the strong CMV promoter was transfected into PER.C6 cells and cells were subsequently selected for stable integration of the plasmid.
- the PER.C6-alpha2,6ST cells are characterized by the higher expression of SAalpha2,6Gal-containing receptors as compared to the number of receptors carrying the SAalpha2,6Gal residue in the original PER.C6 cells.
- PER.C6 cells are without over-expression of the alpha2,6 sialyltransferase already capable of expressing both SAalpha2,3Gal and SAalpha2,6Gal residues on cell surface glycoproteins. It is however an important aspect of the present invention to increase the percentage of proteins carrying the SAalpha2,6Gal residue in comparison to the percentage of proteins that carry the SAalpha2,3Gal residue ⁇ Due to direct substrate competition in the intracellular glycosylation machinery, receptors of the
- SAalpha2,3Gal type become underrepresented on the cell surface of cells over- expressing the alpha2,6 sialyltransferase protein. These combined characteristics make this new cell line an ideal medium for propagating primary influenza virus isolates without inducing selection pressure in the wild type population.
- the propagation of such isolates on the cells of the present invention results in efficient production of large virus stocks with unaltered HA specificity and immunogenicity that are highly useful for the production of vaccines.
- virus produced in PER.C6-alpha2,6ST does not present mutations resulting from adaptation to the SAalpha2,3Gal receptor (as is the case for embryonated eggs) the immunogenic properties of this virus are most comparable with those of naturally circulating influenza viruses.
- vaccine preparations obtained from influenza virus grown on PER.C6-alpha2,6ST are ideally suited to induce a protective response against circulating wild type influenza virus.
- human influenza viruses are of the type recognizing the SAalpha2,6Gal linkages and it is therefore recognized in the art that it is desired to obtain vaccines comprising proteins from these viruses in order to sort a more protective immune response in humans (Newman et al. 1993).
- PER.C6 cells have both SAalpha2,6Gal and SAalpha2,3Gal containing receptors at its surface. For a preferred propagation of the SAalpha2,6Gal recognizing viruses it is therefore preferred to have over-expression of receptors that harbor this component, as discussed above.
- the present invention provides also methods and means for generating another novel cell line named 'PER.C6-alpha2,3ST'.
- PER.C6-alpha2,3ST cells are derived from PER.C6 in a similar manner as described above for the PER.C6- alpha2,6ST cells, by transfection of a plasmid harboring nucleic acid encoding human alpha2,3 sialyltransferase under the control of the strong CMV promoter, after which cells carrying a stable integration of the plasmid are selected.
- a PER.C6-alpha2,3ST cell is characterized by the higher expression of SAalpha2,3Gal-containing receptors.
- alpha2,6 sialyltransferase and alpha2,3 sialyltransferase over- expressing cell lines are useful since alpha2,6 sialyltransferase over- expressing cells can be used for the propagation of influenza viruses that preferably recognize the SAalpha2,6Gal residue, while the alpha2,3 sialyltransferase over-expressing cells can be used for the propagation of influenza viruses that preferably recognize the SAalpha2,3Gal residue.
- the infection and the spreading of the viruses mainly occurs via human-human contact and the viruses become more adapted to the infectious route via the SAalpha2,6Gal residues, then it is preferred to apply the alpha2,6 sialyltransferase over-expressing cell line.
- alpha2,3 sialyltransferase or alpha2,3 sialyltransferase refer to the respective transferases and also to equivalents of said transferase, wherein said equivalents comprise the same transferase activity in kind not necessarily in amount as the transferase it is equivalent to.
- Suitable equivalents can be generated by the person skilled in the art.

- the primary isolate that was used is the A/Netherlands/002/01 (H1N1, A/New Caledonia like, gift from Prof. Dr. A.
- Example 6 Immunofluorescence test. Direct immunofluorescence (I.F.) assays for the detection of Influenza virus infection were carried out in infected cells (see above) using the IMAGENTM Influenza Virus A and B kit (Dako) according to the protocol provided by the supplier. Briefly, infected cells were centrifuged for 5 min. The supernatant was removed and the pellet resuspended in PBS. This was repeated twice to wash the cells thoroughly. The washed cell pellet was resuspended in PBS and 20 ⁇ l of cell suspension was added to each of two wells of an I.F. slide. This was allowed to dry at room temperature. The cells were fixed by adding 20 ⁇ l acetone to each well and air-dried..
- I.F. Direct immunofluorescence
- IMAGEN Influenza reagent i.e., labeled antibody specific Influenza A or B
- the slide was then incubated for 15 min at 37°C on a damp tissue. Excess reagent was washed away with PBS and then rinsed for 5 min in PBS. The slide was air-dried at room temperature.
- One drop of IMAGEN mounting fluid was added to each well and a cover slip placed over the slide (this was fixed in place with a small amount of nail polish). Samples were viewed microscopically using epifluorescence illumination. Infected cells were characterized by a bright apple-green fluorescence. The approximate percentage of cells that show positive (fluorescent green) compared with negative (red) cells was recorded. Results are shown in Figure 5. It is evident that PER.C6-alpha2,6 ST supported efficiently the replication of the clinical isolate (white bars).
- Virus production in PER.C6 and PER.C6-alpha2,6 ST were studied by scoring for plaque formation in MDCK (Madin Darbin Canine Kidney) cells inoculated with virus supernatants. MDCK cells are particularly useful for such plaque assay experiments. A total of 1 ml of 10-fold diluted viral supernatants of primary and PER.C ⁇ -passaged influenza virus both propagated on PER.C6 and PER.C6-alpha2,6 ST according to the methods described in example 5, were inoculated on MDCK cells which were grown until 95% confluence in 6-well plates in DMEM supplemented with 2 mM L- glutamin.
- the cells were washed twice with PBS and overloaded with 3 ml of agarose mix (1.2 ml 2.5% agarose, 1.5 ml 2x MEM, 30 ⁇ l 200 mM L-Glutamine, 24 ⁇ l trypsin-EDTA, 250 ⁇ l PBS). The cells were then incubated in a humid, 10% CO2 atmosphere at 37°C for approximately 3 days and viral plaques were visually scored and counted. Results are shown in
