Abstract

Induction of an immune response to amyloid-β (Aβ) protein is effective in treating animal models of Alzheimer's disease. The Aβ1-15 sequence contains the antibody epitope(s), but lacks the T-cell reactive sites of full-length Aβ1-42. We tested two alternative peptide immunogens encompassing either a tandem repeat of GPGPG-linked Aβ1-15 sequences (2Aβ15-linker) or a tandem repeat Aβ1-15 without the spacer sequence (2Aβ15). Titers of the immunized sera were measured by indirect ELISA. We analyzed the production of interferon-γ and interleukin-4 cytokine by lymphocytes and CD4 T-cells using ELISPOT and FACS assays; we then measured CD4 T-cell proliferation using a CFSE-based lymphoproliferation assay. Immunization with 2Aβ15-linker resulted in a high anti-Aβ titer of the noninflammatory T-helper 2 isotype, a lack of lymphocyte proliferation against the spacer part peptide. We observed much lower titers against the Aβ protein after immunization with 2Aβ15. Restimulation of lymphocytes with the corresponding immunogens resulted in proliferative responses, which showed that the sequential arrangement of the epitopes created junctional epitopes. The disruption of junctional epitopes through the introduction of a GPGPG spacer restored the immunogenicity against all the epitopes. Our novel immunogen with spacer may be a safer alternative to a peptide-based vaccine.

摘要

诱导针对淀粉样β蛋白(Aβ)的免疫反应对治疗阿尔茨海默病动物模型有效。Aβ1-15序列包含抗体表位,但缺乏全长Aβ1-42的T细胞反应位点。我们测试了两种替代肽免疫原,一种是包含GPGPG连接的Aβ1-15序列串联重复的(2Aβ15-连接子),另一种是没有间隔序列的Aβ1-15串联重复(2Aβ15)。通过间接ELISA测量免疫血清的滴度。我们使用ELISPOT和FACS分析检测淋巴细胞和CD4 T细胞产生干扰素-γ和白细胞介素-4细胞因子;然后我们使用基于CFSE的淋巴细胞增殖试验测量CD4 T细胞增殖。用2Aβ15-连接子免疫导致非炎性T辅助2亚型的高抗Aβ滴度,缺乏针对间隔部分肽的淋巴细胞增殖。用2Aβ15免疫后,我们观察到针对Aβ蛋白的滴度低得多。用相应免疫原再次刺激淋巴细胞导致增殖反应,这表明表位的顺序排列产生了连接表位。通过引入GPGPG间隔破坏连接表位恢复了针对所有表位的免疫原性。我们的新型含间隔免疫原可能是基于肽的疫苗的更安全替代品。
