Embodiment 1

[0113] Example 1: Ideas for developing a HFMD vaccine with multivalent immunogenic components

[0114] A serum-free, Vero cell-based, formalin-inactivated whole-virus EV71 vaccine has been developed and has undergone human clinical trials (Wu et al., 2004; Liu et al., 2007; Liu et al. al., 2011; Chang et al., 2012; Chou et al., 2012; Li et al., 2012; Cheng et al., 2013; Zhu et al., 2013). Surprisingly, unexpected results showed that EV71 vaccine failed to protect against CVA16 infection in cell culture assays (Chou et al., 2013). Our recent studies on the CVA16 vaccine candidate also showed that mouse and rabbit anti-CVA16 antisera were unable to neutralize EV71 (Chong et al., 2012). When the protein sequences of these virus strains ((EV71, CVA6, CVA10 and CVA16) were arranged and analyzed; the similarity of the P1 peptide was found to be 65-80% on the P1 sequence (Table 1). HFMD caused by common enterovirus strains (such as CVA6 and CVA10) is urgently needed to develop a HF...

[0117] Example 2: Establishment of a Novel Biological Process for Kexakivirus Group A

[0118] Biological processes for the manufacture of human multivalent HFMD vaccines have been developed and explored. Based on the existing biological process for the development of EV71 vaccine described in published literature (Liu et al., 2007; Chou et al., 2012), to our surprise, CVA6 and CVA10 can be expressed in Infect and replicate in RD cells, but unable to infect and replicate in Vero cells ( figure 1 ). However, RD cells are not as suitable for production of human vaccines as HEK293 cells. Please refer to Table 2 and Table 3 at the same time.

[0125] Example 3: Using HEK293 cell culture to produce virus

[0126] Since CVA6 and CVA10 cannot infect Vero cells and RD cells and cannot be used for human vaccine production, other possible GMP-certified cell lines, such as MDCK, MRC-5, CHO and HEK293, were tested and used for propagation CVA6 and / or CVA10. To our surprise, both CVA6 and CVA10 could only infect HEK293 cells ( image 3 ).

[0127] To obtain sufficient CVA6 and CVA10 for analysis of biochemical and immunogenic properties, the viruses were cultured in HEK293 cells. After 6 days of culture, the cell density reached 1-2.5×10 per mL 6 cell. cells at an MOI of 10 -2 to 10 -5 concentration for infection. Viruses were harvested and collected from cell culture supernatants at 6 days post infection (DPI). See Table 3.

Abstract

The present invention relates to viral particles as immunogens against enterovirus infection and a method of producing the same. Specifically, the present invention features that human embryo kidney 293 (HEK 293) cells are used to produce viral particles of Enterovirus A, particularly Coxsackievirus A6 (CVA6) particles or Coxsackievirus A10 (CVA10) particles or both and optionally additional viral particles of other Enterovirus A e.g. Coxsackievirus A16 (CVA16) and/or Enterovirus A71 (EV71). The yield of the viral particles in HEK 293 cells is unexpectedly high and effective to induce an immune response against enterovirus infection, especially CVA6 and CVA10. The present invention also relates to an immunogenic composition against enterovirus infection for human use comprising the viral particles as described herein and a method of preventing enterovirus infection or a disease as caused, particularly Hand-Foot-Mouth diseases (HFMD), by administering the immunogenic composition to a subject in need thereof.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a virus particle as an immunogen against enterovirus infection, and a method for producing the virus particle by using human embryonic kidney 293 (HEK293) cells. The present invention also relates to a human immune composition against enterovirus infection, and a method of inducing an immune response against enterovirus infection or a disease caused by it, specifically hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD). Background technique [0002] Enteroviruses, belonging to the picornaviridae family, are small, non-enveloped viruses containing positive-sense RNAs. The genus Enterovirus currently includes 12 species: Enterovirus A, Enterovirus B, Enterovirus C, Enterovirus D, Enterovirus E, Enterovirus F, Enterovirus G, Enterovirus H, Enterovirus J, Rhinovirus A, Rhinovirus B, and rhinovirus C. Infection of the intestinal tract by these viruses can cause various types of diseases. Typical enteroviral diseases are meningitis, para...
