Abstract

The present invention pertains to novel high avidity antigen recognizing constructs against Human Papilloma Virus antigens. The invention provides novel T cell receptor (TCR) based molecules which are selective and specific for HPV 16/18 proteins E5, E6 and E7. The TCR of the invention, and HPV antigen-binding fragments derived therefrom, are of use for the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of HPV infection, as well as for the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of HPV infection mediated secondary diseases as HPV infection caused cancers, such as cervical, nasopharyngeal or head and neck cancer. Further provided are nucleic acids encoding the proteins of the invention, and recombinant cells expressing the same.

Description

(1) The present invention will now be further described in the following examples with reference to the accompanying figures and sequences, nevertheless, without being limited thereto. For the purposes of the present invention, all references as cited herein are incorporated by reference in their entireties. In the Figures and Sequences:

(2) FIG. 1: shows examples for the specific CD8+ T cell response against HLA-A*02.01 restricted HPV16 E6 epitope TIHDIILECV in ABabDII mice. ABabDII mice were either immunized i.p. with E6/7 expressing adenovirus followed by s.c. administration of 50 μg of E6 peptide together with 50 μg of CpG ODN 1826 emulsified in IFA, or with peptide/CpG/IFA mixture alone. The presence of HPV-specific CD8+ T cells in the peripheral blood of immunized animals was assessed by intracellular IFNγ staining 7 days after each boost. Stimulation with phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) and ionomycin was used as a positive control (+ctrl).

(3) FIG. 2: shows an example for the specific CD8+ T cell response against HLA-A201 restricted HPV16 E7 epitope TLGIVCPI in ABabDII mice. ABabDII mice were immunized s.c. at the tail base with 50 μg of E7 peptide together with 50 μg of CpG ODN 1826 emulsified in IFA. The presence of HPV-specific CD8+ T cells in the peripheral blood of immunized animals was assessed by intracellular IFNγ staining 7 days after each boost. Stimulation with phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) and ionomycin was used as a positive control (+ctrl).

(4) FIG. 3: shows FACSort strategy (IFNγ capture assay) for the specific CD8+ T cells against HLA-A*02.01 restricted HPV16 E5, E6 and E7 epitopes. Spleen cells from responsive mice were depleted for CD4+ T cells and restimulated for 10 days with 10.sup.−8 mol of the respective peptide.

Transductions were done 48 and 72 h after stimulation by addition of retrovirus containing supernatant and protamine sulfate followed by spinoculation (1.sup.st transduction) or preloading of virus onto retronectin (Takara)-coated plates and spinoculation (2.sup.nd transduction). Transduction efficacy was assessed by staining with anti-CD8 and anti-mouse constant TCRβ mAbs.

(6) FIG. 5: shows the HPV16 E6/E7 peptide-specific IFN-γ release of TCR transduced human PBMCs; 5859 TCR corresponds to Seq ID No: 34 & 35, 5843B14 TCR corresponds to Seq ID No: 36 & 37, 14800 TCR corresponds to Seq ID NO: 43&44. IFNγ production was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay after 16 h coculture of 1×10.sup.4 TCR-transduced T cells with 1×10.sup.4 peptide-loaded T2 cells. Stimulation with phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) and ionomycin was used as a positive control (max); ut=untransduced PBMCs.

Stimulation with phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) and ionomycin was used as a positive control (P+I). IFNγ release comparable to recognition of CASKI cells was also seen for HLA-transduced cervical cancer cell lines SiHa cell line and head and neck cancer cell lines SCC-090 and SCC-152 (not shown).

(8) FIG. 7: shows the HPV16 E5 transduction of freshly prepared human PBLs and HPV16 E5 peptide-specific IFN-γ release of TCR transduced human PBMCs. TCR used was the TCR of SEQ ID NO 12/13 (T2). 1×10.sup.6 freshly isolated or frozen hPBMCs were stimulated with anti-CD3 and anti-CD28-coated plates in the presence of 200 U/ml recombinant human interleukin 2. Transductions were done 48 and 72 h after stimulation by addition of retrovirus containing supernatant and protamine sulfate followed by spinoculation (1.sup.st transduction) or preloading of virus onto retronectin (Takara)-coated plates and spinoculation (2.sup.nd transduction).
