Abstract
Description
本发明涉及一种多价肺炎链球菌荚膜多糖-蛋白缀合物组合物及其制备方法和应用。具体地,涉及一种24价肺炎链球菌荚膜多糖-蛋白缀合物组合物。The present invention relates to a multivalent pneumococcal capsular polysaccharide-protein conjugate composition and a preparation method and application thereof, and in particular to a 24-valent pneumococcal capsular polysaccharide-protein conjugate composition.
肺炎球菌性疾病(Pneumococcal disease,PD)是全球严重的公共卫生问题之一。肺炎球菌(Streptococcus pneumoniae,Spn)是引起儿童肺炎、脑膜炎、菌血症等严重疾病的主要病原菌,也是引起急性中耳炎和鼻窦炎等的常见病因。Pneumococcal disease (PD) is one of the most serious public health problems in the world. Pneumococcus (Streptococcus pneumoniae, Spn) is the main pathogen that causes serious diseases such as pneumonia, meningitis, and bacteremia in children, and is also a common cause of acute otitis media and sinusitis.
目前上市的疫苗包括如下种类:肺炎链球菌疫苗包括肺炎链球菌多糖疫苗(pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine,PPV)和肺炎链球菌结合疫苗(pneumococcal conjugate vaccine,PCV)两类。前者主要为PPV23,后者主要包括PCV7、PCV10、PCV13、PCV15和PCV20。The vaccines currently on the market include the following types: Pneumococcal vaccines include pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPV) and pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV). The former mainly includes PPV23, and the latter mainly includes PCV7, PCV10, PCV13, PCV15 and PCV20.
肺炎链球菌结合疫苗目前为市场上主流产品,包括辉瑞、葛兰素等,其中蛋白载体采用单一和混合载体两种方法。单一载体以辉瑞为例PCV7疫苗(PREVNAR)含有来自7种最流行的血清型:4、6B、9V、14、18C、19F和23F的荚膜多糖,不同的荚膜多糖和CRM197结合。PCV13疫苗同样采用单一载体均为CRM197。混合载体中,使用两种或更多种蛋白载体,某些特定血清型结合特定蛋白载体。例如葛兰素的SYNFLORIX,血清型1、4、5、6B、7F、9V、14和23F与流感嗜血杆菌(H.influenzae)蛋白D缀 合,血清型18C与破伤风类毒素缀合,并且血清型19F与白喉类毒素缀合。Pneumococcal conjugate vaccines are currently the mainstream products on the market, including Pfizer, Glaxo, etc., among which protein carriers are used in two ways: single and mixed carriers. Taking Pfizer as an example, the single carrier PCV7 vaccine (PREVNAR) contains capsular polysaccharides from the 7 most popular serotypes: 4, 6B, 9V, 14, 18C, 19F and 23F. Different capsular polysaccharides are combined with CRM 197. PCV13 vaccine also uses a single carrier, which is CRM 197. In mixed carriers, two or more protein carriers are used, and certain specific serotypes are combined with specific protein carriers. For example, Glaxo's SYNFLORIX, serotypes 1, 4, 5, 6B, 7F, 9V, 14 and 23F are conjugated with Haemophilus influenzae (H.influenzae) protein D. serotype 18C is conjugated to tetanus toxoid, and serotype 19F is conjugated to diphtheria toxoid.
随着上述13价产品的上市和推广,由现有13价疫苗中包含的血清型引起的疾病的数量总体上减少,而其他之前广泛性相对较低的非疫苗血清型逐步受到重视,因此急需开发一种新的肺炎疫苗以应对环境的变化。在新疫苗的开发中,面临增加更多的血清型以提高保护,同时必须考虑不同血清型荚膜多糖对载体蛋白的选择偏好,并考虑将多种多糖-蛋白缀合物组合时对不同血清型肺炎球菌免疫效果的影响。基于此,本发明针对上述情况开展进一步研究。With the listing and promotion of the above-mentioned 13-valent products, the number of diseases caused by the serotypes included in the existing 13-valent vaccines has decreased overall, while other non-vaccine serotypes that were previously relatively less widespread have gradually received attention, so it is urgent to develop a new pneumonia vaccine to cope with environmental changes. In the development of new vaccines, it is necessary to add more serotypes to improve protection, and at the same time, the selection preference of different serotype capsular polysaccharides for carrier proteins must be considered, and the influence of combining multiple polysaccharide-protein conjugates on the immune effect of different serotypes of pneumococci. Based on this, the present invention conducts further research on the above situation.

具体的,所述第一载体蛋白或第二载体蛋白选自:CRM197、TT(Tetanus toxoid破伤风类毒素)、PD(流感嗜血杆菌(Haemophilus influenzae)蛋白D)、百日咳类毒素(PT)、fHbp。Specifically, the first carrier protein or the second carrier protein is selected from: CRM 197 , TT (Tetanus toxoid), PD (Haemophilus influenzae protein D), pertussis toxoid (PT), and fHbp.

具体的,本发明的载体蛋白的获得,需经过菌体发酵、超滤、纯化、脱毒等步骤。Specifically, the carrier protein of the present invention is obtained through the steps of bacterial fermentation, ultrafiltration, purification, detoxification, etc.
本发明所述CRM197是由经非产毒素噬菌体β197tox-(通过产毒素β-棒状噬菌体的亚硝基胍诱变创建的)感染的白喉棒状杆菌(Corynebacterium diphtheriae)产生的。CRM197蛋白具有与白喉毒素相同的分子量但是与其的差异在于结构基因中单个碱基的改变(鸟嘌呤变为腺嘌 呤)。此单个碱基的改变在成熟蛋白中引起氨基酸取代(用谷氨酸取代甘氨酸)并消除白喉毒素的毒性。The CRM 197 of the present invention is produced by Corynebacterium diphtheriae infected with the non-toxigenic phage β197 tox- (created by nitrosoguanidine mutagenesis of toxigenic β-rod-shaped phage). The CRM 197 protein has the same molecular weight as diphtheria toxin but differs from it by a single base change in the structural gene (guanine to adenine). This single base change results in an amino acid substitution (glutamic acid for glycine) in the mature protein and eliminates the toxicity of diphtheria toxin.
本发明所述TT(Tetanus toxoid破伤风类毒素)和DT(白喉类毒素),TT和DT的分子量分别为151千道尔顿(kilodalton,kD)和58kD,是由破伤风芽孢杆菌和白喉棒状杆菌产生的外毒素,经甲醛脱毒,使其失去毒性,然后经过化学方法提纯,去掉无效蛋白杂质,而获得的高纯度精制类毒素。它们作为预防破伤风和白喉的疫苗已使用多年,因其良好的免疫原性和安全性,在研发多糖蛋白结合疫苗之初被首选为载体分子。类毒素作为载体蛋白也有一定的局限性,如在疫苗生产中对破伤风芽胞杆菌培养条件的要求比较苛刻,制备时需处理大量的毒素上清,并且经脱毒处理的类毒素除了存在残留毒性和毒性逆转的可能外,蛋白结构也发生一定构象改变或修饰,可能破坏了一些T细胞抗原位点,从而影响免疫原性。The TT (Tetanus toxoid) and DT (diphtheria toxoid) described in the present invention have molecular weights of 151 kilodaltons (kD) and 58 kD, respectively, and are exotoxins produced by Bacillus tetani and Corynebacterium diphtheriae. They are detoxified with formaldehyde to make them lose their toxicity, and then purified by chemical methods to remove invalid protein impurities to obtain high-purity refined toxoids. They have been used as vaccines for the prevention of tetanus and diphtheria for many years. Due to their good immunogenicity and safety, they were first selected as carrier molecules at the beginning of the development of polysaccharide protein conjugate vaccines. Toxoids as carrier proteins also have certain limitations. For example, the requirements for the culture conditions of Bacillus tetani in vaccine production are relatively harsh, and a large amount of toxin supernatant needs to be processed during preparation. In addition to the possibility of residual toxicity and toxicity reversal, the toxins that have been detoxified also undergo certain conformational changes or modifications in the protein structure, which may destroy some T cell antigen sites, thereby affecting immunogenicity.
本发明所述PD是一种相对分子质量为42 000的表面脂蛋白,存在于所有的Hi菌株中,具有高度的保守性。 The PD described in the present invention is a surface lipoprotein with a relative molecular mass of 42,000, which exists in all Hi strains and is highly conservative .

The filtrate was concentrated on a 100kDa membrane package and the concentrate was dialyzed and filtered to obtain a sample. After ultrafiltration, the ultrafiltration recovery liquid was filtered through a 0.2μm filter.

1、2、3、4、5、6A、6B、7F、8、9N、9V、10A、11A、12F、14、15B、17F、18C、19A、19F、20、22F、23F和33F血清型肺炎球菌(Streptococcus pneumoniae)菌株均来源于中国医学细菌菌种保藏管理中心(National Center for Medical Culture Collections)(CMCC)。将上述菌种进行传代建立原始种子库、主种子库和工作种子库,工作种子批启开后至接种发酵罐培养,每代种子均进行冻干保藏。取工作种子在培养基划线挑取菌种,接种于5ml的液体综合培养基,35℃±2℃培养后,转种到500ml的培养液后经过培养再扩增至10L培养液和50L培养液。于对数生长期的后期或静止期的前期中止培养,取样进行纯菌检查,纯菌检查合格后在 收获的培养液中加入合适量的无菌的去氧胆酸钠以裂解细菌细胞并释放荚膜多糖。将已杀菌的培养液离心后收集上清液,上清液超滤浓缩。上清液进一步超滤换液、提纯,获得1、2、3、4、5、6A、6B、7F、8、9N、9V、10A、11A、12F、14、15B、17F、18C、19A、19F、20、22F、23F和33F共24种纯化血清型的肺炎球菌荚膜多糖。1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6A, 6B, 7F, 8, 9N, 9V, 10A, 11A, 12F, 14, 15B, 17F, 18C, 19A, 19F, 20, 22F, 23F and 33F serotypes of pneumococcus (Streptococcus pneumoniae) strains are all from the National Center for Medical Culture Collections (CMCC) of China. The above strains are subcultured to establish the original seed bank, the main seed bank and the working seed bank. After the working seed batch is opened, it is cultured in the inoculation fermenter, and each generation of seeds is freeze-dried and preserved. Take the working seed and pick the strain on the culture medium, inoculate it in 5ml of liquid comprehensive culture medium, culture it at 35℃±2℃, transfer it to 500ml of culture solution, and then culture and expand it to 10L culture solution and 50L culture solution. The culture was terminated at the end of the logarithmic growth phase or the beginning of the stationary phase, and samples were taken for a pure bacterial test. An appropriate amount of sterile sodium deoxycholate is added to the harvested culture fluid to lyse the bacterial cells and release the capsular polysaccharide. The sterilized culture fluid is centrifuged and the supernatant is collected and concentrated by ultrafiltration. The supernatant is further ultrafiltered and purified to obtain 24 purified serotypes of pneumococcal capsular polysaccharides, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6A, 6B, 7F, 8, 9N, 9V, 10A, 11A, 12F, 14, 15B, 17F, 18C, 19A, 19F, 20, 22F, 23F and 33F.
