Abstract

A vaccine formulation comprising conjugates of detoxified LPS with proteins including cholera toxin (CT) is disclosed. Treatment with hydrazine (DeA-LPS) reduces the endotoxic properties of the LPS to clinically acceptable levels and results in a larger and more antigenic molecule than the saccharide produced by acid hydrolysis. The conjugates utilizing the cholera toxin of V. cholerae are disclosed which have low levels of pyrogen, no toxic activity upon Chinese hamster overay cells and elicit booster responses of vibriocidal and CT antibodies when injected subcutaneously as saline solutions into mice. The conjugates produced as a cholera vaccine induce the same antibodies as parenterally injected cellular vaccines but have improved safety and immunologic properties.

Claims

36AMENDED CLAIMS[received by the International Bureau on 22 November 1993 (22.11.93); original claims 1-21 replaced by amended claims 1-29 (3 pages)]
1. A detoxified Vibrio cholera lipopolysaccharide-protein carrier conjugate comprising the detoxified lipopolysaccharide of Vibrio cholera, said lipopolysaccharide detoxified using anhydrous hydrazine, covalently attached to a protein carrier by means of a bifunctional linker to form a detoxified Vibrio cholera lipopolysaccharide-protein carrier conjugate.

7. A vaccine according claim 6, wherein said toxin is the cholera toxin of Vibrio cholera.
8. A vaccine according to claim 2, wherein said covalent attachment is accomplished by reaction with a bifunctional linker selected from the group consisting of adipic acid dihydrazide, diaminohexane, amino- e-caproic acid, and an N-hydrosuccinimide acid anhydride-based heterobifunctional linker.
9. A vaccine according to claim 8, wherein said N- hydrosuccinimide acid anhydride-based heterobifunctional linker is N-succinimidyl- 3-(2-pyridyldithio) propionate.
10. A vaccine of claim 2, wherein the conjugate is formed between a detoxified derivatized LPS and a protein carrier by reaction with 1-ethyl- 3 (3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide.
11. A method for preparing a covalently linked detoxified Vibrio cholera lipopolysaccharide-protein carrier conjugate comprising:
1) detoxifying Vibrio cholera lipopolysaccharide using anhydrous hydrazine under conditions that selectively remove acyl linked fatty acids from the lipid A component,
2) reacting the detoxified Vibrio cholera lipopolysaccharide of step 1 with a bifunctional linker,
3) mixing the derivatized, detoxified Vibrio cholera lipopolysaccharide from step (2) with a protein carrier,
4) adding to the mixture of step (3) a reagent, said reagent causing covalent linkage to occur to form the conjugate.

18. Use of a vaccine according to claim 7 for the manufacture of a medicament for use in a method for immunizing a human against cholera which comprises administering an amount of the conjugate of claim 7, sufficient to provide protection against cholera, to the human.
19. A method for detoxifying Vibrio cholera lipopolysaccharide and retaining protective antigenicity comprising the steps:
A) treating the lipopolysaccharide with an effective amount of anhydrous hydrazine to selectively remove acyl linked fatty acids from the lipid A component.
20. A method according to claim 19 wherein step (A) is performed at a temperature of about 37°C.
21. A method according to claim 19 wherein step (A) is performed for about 120 minutes.
22. A method according to claim 19 further comprising step (B) purifying the lipopolysaccharide.
23. A method according to claim 22 step (B) wherein the purification is performed by precipitation of the detoxified lipopolysaccharide using about 90% acetone at about 4°C.
24. A purified and isolated antibody produced by a mammal in response to immunization with the vaccine according to claim 2, 4, or 7 said antibody characterized in that it reacts with lipopolysaccharide on Vibrio cholera and has vibriocidal activity.
25. A purified and isolated antibody of claim 24 wherein the antibody is polyclonal.
26. A pharmaceutical composition comprising the antibody according to claim 24 and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.
27. Use of an antibody of claim 24 for the manufacture of a medicament for use in a method for prevention or treatment of cholera in a human, comprising: administration of the antibodies in an amount effective for prevention or treatment of cholera.
28. A method of claim 11 further comprising: Step (5) isolating the detoxified Vibrio cholera lipopolysaccharide-protein conjugate.
29. A pharmaceutical composition comprising the vaccine according to claims 2, 4, or 7 and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. STATEMENT UNDER ARTICLE 19
In response to the Notification of Transmittal of the International Search Report or Declaration dated September 22, 1993 and in reply to the communication dated November 29, 1993, Applicant is forwarding herein replacements sheets of amended claims.
New independent Claim 1 differs from the original Claim 1 in that it recites a detoxified Vibrio cholera lipopolysaccharide-protein carrier conjugate in place of detoxified bacterial LPS. New Claim 1 also recites that the Vibrio chc ~ lipopolysaccharide is detoxified using anhydrous hydrazine and that the detoxif LPS is covalently attached to the protein carrier by a bifunctional linker.
Original claim 13 was amended and renumbered as claim 11. Claim 11 differs from the original claim 13 in the recitation of detoxified Vibrio cholera lipopolysaccharide and in the recitation of anhydrous hydrazine and the recitation of selective removal of acyl linked fatty acids from the lipid A component.
New independent claim 19 and dependent claims 20-23 relate to a method of detoxifying Vibrio cholera lipopolysaccharide and retaining protective ■antigenicity.
New claims 24-27 relate to antibody produced in response to the detoxified Vibrio cholera lipopolysaccharide-protein carrier conjugate.
Applicant respectfully submits that the amendment does not introduce new matter and are fully supported by the description and drawings.
