Embodiment 1

[0059] Example 1: Cloning of DNA vaccine constructs

[0060] In order to construct a DNA vaccine for CTLA-4, human or mouse CTLA-4 sequences were selected and combined with the transmembrane region of IL2 secretion signal sequence (IL2ss) and placental alkaline phosphatase (PLAP) at the N-terminus and C-terminus respectively The sequences were fused, and then constructed into a mammalian expression plasmid, pVAC-1. The resulting DNA sequences of pVAC1-IL2ss-hCTLA-4-PLAP (SEQ ID NO: 1) and pVAC1-IL2ss-mCTLA-4-PLAP (SEQ ID NO: 2) are listed in Figure 1a and Figure 1b middle. These DNA vaccines, such as human or mouse PD-1 or PD-L1 alone, and human or mouse fusion gene constructs composed of CTLA-4 and PD-1 and / or PD-L1, and in Those with or without the transmembrane region of PLAP at the C-terminus were constructed and listed below and Figure 10 middle:

[0061] (1) pVAC-1-IL2ss-hPD-L1 (containing the DNA sequence encoding human PD-L1);

[0062] (2) pVAC-1-IL2ss-hPD-1 (c...

Embodiment 2

[0071] Example 2: Construction and purification of recombinant polypeptides

[0072] In order to construct recombinant polypeptides of CTLA-4-PD-1 and CTLA-4-PD-L1, mouse CTLA-4 fused with PD1 or PD-L1 was constructed into the E. Coli expression vector, pET56. The resulting mCTLA-4-mPD-1-His was purified with a nickel-resin affinity column 6 and mCTLA-4-mPD-L1-His 6 The protein sequences are respectively SEQ ID NO:31 and SEQ ID NO:32.

Embodiment 3

[0073] Embodiment 3: preparation liposome and liposome / DNA complex

[0074]PC-PEG-PE liposomes were prepared as follows: 5.9 mg of PC (1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-ethylphosphocholine) was mixed with 14.6 mg of PEG (1,2-dipalmitoyl -sn-glycerol-3 phosphoethanolamine-N-polyethylene glycol-5000) (AvantiPolar Labs, Inc.) was dissolved in 2ml of solvent (90% chloroform, 10% MeOH) and 1ml of MeOH respectively, and placed in 500ml round bottom flask. Place the flask on a rotary evaporator at 55°C under vacuum until the liquid disappears. The flask was further subjected to three cycles of vacuum drying, room temperature for 30 minutes, and heating for 5 minutes. 6 mg polyethyleneimine (PE) (Sigma Aldrich) dissolved in 6 ml PBS was added to the rotating flask and five cycles of 10 minutes heating, 30 minutes room temperature were performed. The final solution was adjusted to 6 ml with distilled water and subjected to one freeze-thaw step (from -20°C to 4°C). The solution was filte...

Abstract

The present invention pertains to a new approach for the treatment of infectious and malignant diseases. The present invention provides new DNA and protein vaccines for the treatment of infectious and malignant diseases through enhancing immune response.

Description

[0001] This application is a branch of an invention patent application whose applicant is Taipei Veterans General Hospital. The title of the invention is a method for enhancing immune response in the treatment of infectious and malignant diseases. The application number is 201210210339.5 and the application date is June 25, 2012. Apply. technical field [0002] The present invention relates to a novel method for the treatment of infectious and malignant diseases. Background technique [0003] Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4) was discovered in 1987 as a new member of the immunoglobulin superfamily, characterized in that it also has variation (V) or constant ( C) Important structural features of immunoglobulin regions (Brunet et al., Nature 328, 267-270). Reports indicate that CTLA-4 also plays an important role in regulating the immune system (Keilholz, U., J Immunother 31, 431-439). CTLA-4 has been reported to reduce the activation of T cells by competing with CD2...
