Benefits of technology

[0010]In addition, an antibody-mediated cross-reaction was found between the different CBV serotypes. This finding makes it feasible to use antibody-inducing vaccines i.e. vaccines comprising inactivated viruses, or components thereof. These vaccines are safer than attenuated live vaccines, but still very effective. Alternatively the vaccine may already contain antibodies against the CBVs.

Problems solved by technology

In type 1 diabetes the beta-cells of the pancreas are destroyed, which leads to insulin deficiency.
However, the knowledge of which enterovirus serotypes that are involved in the disease is limited.
Indeed, previous studies reporting association between enteroviruses and T1D were not able to discriminate between serotype or were restricted to case reports.
All serotypes were found to be destructive.

Seroneutralization Analyses

[0052]Neutralizing antibodies were analyzed against a wide panel of different enterovirus serotypes in the same serum sample which was the first autoantibody positive sample taken during the prospective follow-up. Thus, this time point represents the initiation of the beta-cell damaging process. In addition, antibodies against those serotypes which were found to be interesting in this initial screening were measured at additional time-points to study the timing of infections and their relationship with the initiation of the beta-cell damaging process.

[0053]Altogether, seroneutralization analyses have been performed using 42 viruses and 522 serum / plasma samples (174 triplets, two control children for each case child). The completeness of the analyses in this virus set varies from 100% to 84% (Echo30) being for a majority of the viruses (35 / 40) more than 97.7%. In order to study the effect of the strain variation, two serotypes (CBV4 and Echo3) have been ana...

A CBV1 Inactivated Vaccine Protects Mice Against Viremia and Infection of the Pancreas

Method

[0111]An inactivated vaccine was produced by amplification of CBV1 in Vero cells, followed by sucrose purification and formol-inactivation. The dose of the vaccine is expressed as the initial content in infectious virus (equivalent CCID50).

[0112]BALB / c male and female mice, previously shown to be susceptible to CBV1 infection, were immunized by the i.m. route with three injections of formol-inactived CBV1 at D0, D21 and D35. Two doses of the vaccine (4×104 and 2×105 eq CCID50) were assessed for mice immunization. One week after the last immunization, mice were challenged with live CBV1 via the i.p. route. Viremia and infection of the pancreas were monitored in immunized and control mice by CBV1 genomic titration of blood samples and pancreas tissue homogenates.

Results

[0113]Immunogenicity of the vaccine was first evaluated by analyzing the induction of neutralizing antibodies in individual mou...

Virus Infection and Diabetes in SOCS-1 Transgenic NOD Mice

[0118]A recently developed model for enterovirus-induced type 1 diabetes was used with mice expressing the suppressor of cytokine signaling-1 (SOCS-1) in pancreatic beta cells. By expressing SOCS-1 the pancreatic beta cells lose their ability to respond to interferons and by that also their ability to protect themselves against the virus. An analysis of the pancreata from infected SOCS-1 transgenic animals (here denoted SOCS-1-Tg NOD mice) demonstrate that diabetes is the result of beta cell destruction (Flodstrom, M. et al., 2002. Nat Immunol 3(4), 373-82; Flodstrom, M. et al., 2003. Diabetes 52(8), 2025-34).

[0119]Mice and Animal Husbandry:

[0120]All mice were breed and housed under specific pathogen free conditions. The SOCS-1-Tg NOD mice were bred as heterozygotes and screened for the presence of the SOCS-1-transgene by PCR.

Virus Infections

[0121]Mice aged 8 to 10 weeks were infected with one intra-peritoneal (i.p.) injectio...

Abstract

The invention is directed to a vaccine comprising: i) coxsackie B virus CBV1 and CBV2, and ii) at least one coxsackie B virus selected from CBV3, CBV4, CBV5 and CBV6. The CBVs are present in the vaccine in inactivated form, in the form of a component of the virus or as an antibody against the virus. The vaccine is effective in preventing and treating type 1 diabetes. So is an anti-coxsackie B virus composition provided.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to anti-viral compositions e.g. vaccines and methods useful in preventing or treating type 1 diabetes. More particularly the invention relates to a vaccine comprising enteroviruses, components thereof and / or antibodies thereto.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a severe disease that has become more and more frequent already at a very early age. In type 1 diabetes the beta-cells of the pancreas are destroyed, which leads to insulin deficiency. The destruction of the beta-cells is believed to be caused by an autoimmune response, which in turn is assumed to be induced by a virus infection.[0003]The connection between enteroviruses and T1D has been documented in a multitude of studies. Enteroviruses have been detected in the pancreas, blood and intestinal mucosa of patients with T1D more frequently than in control subjects and prospective studies have supported their role in the initiation of the beta-cell ...
