Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Humoral immunity and cell-mediated immunity are the two major branches of the mammalian immune response. Humoral immunity involves the generation of antibodies to foreign antigens. Antibodies are produced by B-lymphocytes. Cell-mediated immunity involves the activation of T-lymphocytes which either act upon infected cells bearing foreign antigens or stimulate other cells to act upon infected cells. Both branches of the mammalian immune system are important in fighting disease. Humoral immunity is the major line of defense against bacterial pathogens. In the case of viral disease, the induction of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) appears to be crucial for protective immunity. An effective vaccine stimulates both branches of the immune system to protect against disease.

Vaccines present foreign antigens from disease causing agents to a host so that the host can mount a protective immune response. Often vaccine antigens are killed or attenuated forms of the microbes which cause the disease. The presence of non-essential components and antigens in these killed or attenuated vaccines has encouraged considerable efforts to refine vaccine components including developing well-defined synthetic antigens using chemical and recombinant techniques. The refinement and simplification of microbial vaccines, however, has led to a concomitant loss in potency. Low-molecular weight synthetic antigens, though devoid of potentially harmful contaminants, are themselves not very immunogenic. These observations have led investigators to add adjuvants to vaccine compositions to potentiate the activity of the refined vaccine components.

Presently, the only adjuvant licensed for human use in the United States is alum, a group of aluminum salts (e.g., aluminum hydroxide, aluminum phosphate) in which vaccine antigens are formulated. Particulate carriers like alum serve to promote the uptake, processing and presentation of soluble antigens by macrophages. Alum, however, is not without side-effects and enhances humoral (antibody) immunity only.

An effective adjuvant potentiates both a humoral and cellular immune response in vaccinated animals. Further, an adjuvant must enhance a host's natural immune response and not aggravate the host system. A well-defined synthetic adjuvant free from extraneous matter which is stable and easy to manufacture would provide these qualities. Compounds that have been prepared and tested for adjuvanticity (Shimizu et al. 1985, Bulusu et al. 1992, Ikeda et al. 1993, Shimizu et al. 1994, Shimizu et al. 1995, Miyajima et al. 1996), however, often display toxic properties, are unstable and/or have unsubstantial immunostimulatory effects.

The discovery and development of effective adjuvants is essential for improving the efficacy and safety of existing vaccines. Adjuvants impart synthetic peptides and carbohydrate antigens with sufficient immunogenicity to insure the success of the synthetic vaccine approach. There remains a need for new compounds having potent immunomodulating effects.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The compounds of the subject invention are aminoalkyl glucosamine phosphate compounds (AGPs) which are adjuvants and immunoeffectors. An aminoalkyl (aglycon) group is glycosidically linked to a 2-deoxy-2-amino-.alpha.-D-glucopyranose (glucosamine) to form the basic structure of the claimed molecules. The compounds are phosphorylated at the 4 or 6 carbon on the glucosamine ring. Further, the compounds possess three 3-alkanoyloxyalkanoyl residues.

The compounds of the subject invention are immunoeffector molecules augmenting antibody production in immunized animals, stimulating cytokine production and activating macrophages. In accordance with the subject invention, methods for using these compounds as adjuvants and immunoeffectors are disclosed.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The compounds of the subject invention are adjuvant and immunoeffector molecules which are aminoalkyl glucosamine phosphates (AGPs). The compounds comprise a 2-deoxy-2-amino-.alpha.-D-glucopyranose (glucosamine) in glycosidic linkage with an aminoalkyl (aglycon) group. Compounds are phosphorylated at the 4 or 6 carbon on the glucosamine ring and have three alkanoyloxyalkanoyl residues. The compounds of the subject invention are described generally by Formula I, ##STR1## wherein X represents an oxygen or sulfur atom, Y represents an oxygen atom or NH group, "n", "m", "p" and "q" are integers from 0 to 6, R.sub.1, R.sub.2, and R.sub.3 represent normal fatty acyl residues having 7 to 16 carbon atoms, R.sub.4 and R.sub.5 are hydrogen or methyl, R.sub.6 and R.sub.7 are hydrogen, hydroxy, alkoxy, phosphono, phosphonooxy, sulfo, sulfooxy, amino, mercapto, cyano, nitro, formyl or carboxy and esters and amides thereof; R.sub.8 and R.sub.9 are phosphono or hydrogen. The configuration of the 3' stereogenic centers to which the normal fatty acyl residues are attached is R or S, but preferably R. The stereochemistry of the carbon atoms to which R.sub.4 or R.sub.5 are attached can be R or S. All stereoisomers, both enantiomers and diastereomers, and mixtures thereof, are considered to fall within the scope of the subject invention.

The heteroatom X of the compounds of the subject invention can be oxygen or sulfur. In a preferred embodiment, X is oxygen. Although the stability of the molecules could be effected by a substitution at X, the immunomodulating activity of molecules with these substitutions is not expected to change.

The number of carbon atoms between heteroatom X and the aglycon nitrogen atom is determined by variables "n" and "m". Variables "n" and "m" can be integers from 0 to 6. In a preferred embodiment, the total number of carbon atoms between heteroatom X and the aglycon nitrogen atom is from about 2 to about 6 and most preferably from about 2 to about 4.

The compounds of the subject invention are aminoalkyl glucosamine compounds which are phosphorylated. Compounds can be phosphorylated at position 4 or 6 (R.sub.8 or R.sub.9) on the glucosamine ring and are most effective if phosphorylated on at least one of these positions. In a preferred embodiment, R.sub.8 is phosphono and R.sub.9 is hydrogen.

The compounds of the subject invention are hexaacylated, that is they contain a total of six fatty acid residues. The aminoalkyl glucosamine moiety is acylated at the 2-amino and 3-hydroxyl groups of the glucosamine unit and at the amino group of the aglycon unit with 3-hydroxyalkanoyl residues. In Formula I, these three positions are acylated with 3-hydroxytetradecanoyl moieties. The 3-hydroxytetradecanoyl residues are, in turn, substituted with normal fatty acids (R.sub.1 -R.sub.3), providing three 3-n-alkanoyloxytetradecanoyl residues or six fatty acid groups in total.

The chain length of normal fatty acids R.sub.1 -R.sub.3 can be from about 7 to about 16 carbons. Preferably, R.sub.1 -R.sub.3 are from about 9 to about 14 carbons. The chain lengths of these normal fatty acids can be the same or different. Although, only normal fatty acids are described, it is expected that unsaturated fatty acids (i.e. fatty acid moieties having double or triple bonds) substituted at R.sub.1 -R.sub.3 on the compounds of the subject invention would produce biologically active molecules. Further, slight modifications in the chain length of the 3-hydroxyalkanoyl residues are not expected to dramatically effect biological activity.

The compounds of the subject invention are adjuvants and immunoeffectors which enhance the generation of antibody in immunized animals, stimulate the production of cytokines and stimulate a cell-mediated immune response including a cytotoxic T-lymphocyte response. In methods for effecting the immune response of an individual, the compounds of the subject invention can be formulated with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier for injection or ingestion. As used herein, "pharmaceutically acceptable carrier" means a medium which does not interfere with the immunomodulatory activity of the active ingredient and is not toxic to the patient to whom it is administered. Pharmaceutically acceptable carriers include oil-in-water or water-in-oil emulsions, aqueous compositions, liposomes, microbeads and microsomes.

Formulations of the compounds of the subject invention that can be administered parenterally, i.e. intraperitoneally, subcutaneously or intramuscularly include the following preferred carriers. Examples of preferred carriers for subcutaneous use include a phosphate buffered saline (PBS) solution and 0.01-0.1% triethanolamine in USP Water for Injection. Suitable carriers for intramuscular injection include 10% USP ethanol, 40% propylene glycol and the balance an acceptable isotonic solution such as 5% dextrose.

Examples of preferred carriers for intravenous use include 10% USP ethanol, 40% USP propylene glycol and the balance USP Water for Injection. Another acceptable carrier includes 10% USP ethanol and USP Water for Injection; yet another acceptable carrier is 0.01-0.1% triethanolamine in USP Water for Injection. Pharmaceutically acceptable parenteral solvents are such as to provide a solution or dispersion may be filtered through a 5 micron filter without removing the active ingredient.

Examples of carriers for administration via mucosal surfaces depend upon the particular route. When administered orally, pharmaceutical grades of mannitol, starch, lactose, magnesium stearate, sodium saccharide, cellulose, magnesium carbonate and the like, with mannitol being preferred. When administered intranasally, polyethylene glycol or glycols, sucrose, and/or methylcellulose, and preservatives such as benzalkonium chloride, EDTA, may be used, with polyethylene glycols being preferred, and when administered by inhalation, suitable carriers are polyethylene glycol or glycols, methylcellulose, dispensing agents, and preservatives, with polyethylene glycols being preferred.

The compounds of the subject invention are administered to an individual in "an effective amount" to effect or enhance the individual's immune response. As used herein, "an effective amount" is that amount which shows a response over and above the vehicle or negative controls. The precise dosage of the compounds of the subject invention to be administered to a patient will depend upon the particular AGP used, the route of administration, the pharmaceutical composition, and the patient. For example, when administered subcutaneously to enhance an antibody response, the amount of AGP used is from 1 to about 250 micrograms, preferably from about 25 to about 50 micrograms based upon administration to a typical 70 kg adult patient.

In vaccine compositions, the AGPs of the subject invention are administered to a warm-blooded animal, including humans, with an antigen. The amount of antigen administered to elicit a desired response can be readily determined by one skilled in the art and will vary with the type of antigen administered, route of administration and immunization schedule. For example, 0.2 .mu.g of tetanus toxoid administered with the claimed compounds subcutaneously to a mouse in two immunization 21 days apart elicited a humoral immune response to that antigen.

The compounds of the subject invention are synthesized by coupling an N-acyloxyacylated or N-protected aminoalkanol or aminoalkanethiol (aglycon unit) with a suitably protected and/or 3-O-acyloxyacylated glucosamine unit. In one preferred method for preparing the compounds of the subject invention (Scheme 1), an N-(2,2,2-trichloroethoxycarbonyl (Troc))-protected glycosyl halide 1 (Z=F, Cl, Br) is coupled with an N-[(R)-3-n-alkanoyloxytetradecanoyl]aminoalkanol or thiol 2 (possessing R.sub.6 and R.sub.7 in suitably protected form) via a Koenigs-Knorr type reaction in the presence of mercury or silver salts to give glycoside intermediate 3. Preferably, the glucosamine unit 1 possesses an anomeric chloride atom (Z=Cl), and the coupling catalyst is silver trifluoromethanesulfonate. Intermediate 3 can also be prepared by coupling the aglycon unit 2 with an N-Troc-protected glycosyl acetate (Z=OAc) or related activated derivative in the presence of a Lewis acid such as boron trifluoride etherate. By "activated" is meant having an appropriate displaceable leaving group "Z" attached to the anomeric center of the glucosamine unit. Glucosamine unit 1 bears an (R)-3-n-alkanoyloxytetradecanoyl residue on the 3-position, and suitable protecting groups on the 6-hydroxyl and 4-phosphate moieties. Typical protecting groups for the phosphate group include, but are not limited to, phenyl, benzyl, and o-xylyl. The phosphate group is protected preferably with two phenyl groups. The 6-position can be temporarily protected by blocking groups commonly used in sugar chemistry such as silyl, benzyl, or benzyloxymethyl ethers or, alternatively, an alkyl carbonate. The 6-hydroxyl group is protected preferably as a 1,1-dimethyl-2,2,2-trichloroethyl carbonate (TCBOC).

The trichloroethyl-based protecting group(s) in the Koenigs-Knorr coupled product 3 are removed with zinc and the glucosamine nitrogen is selectively acylated with a (R)-3-n-alkanoyloxytetradecanoic acid 4 in the presence of a suitable coupling reagent to give the hexaacylated derivative 5. The remaining protecting groups in 5 are then cleaved by catalytic hydrogenation in the presence of a palladium or platinum catalyst or by other appropriate means to give compounds of Formula (I).

A suitable starting material for the synthesis of glycosyl donor 1 is 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl 2-amino-2-deoxy-4,6-O-isopropylidene-.beta.-D-glucopyranoside which can be prepared from commercially available D-glucosamine hydrochloride using published procedures. The conversion of the 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl glycoside starting material to glycosyl donor 1 can be achieved by methods known in the art or modifications thereof which are described herein. The aglycon unit 2 can be prepared by N-acyloxyacylation of commercially available starting materials with an appropriate (R)-3-n-alkanoyloxytetradecanoic acid 4, or N-acyloxyacylation of starting materials that can be obtained by known methods in the chemical literature. Alternatively, the N-acyloxyacyl residue in 2 can be substituted with an appropriate amine protecting group which is removed subsequent to the coupling reaction such as is described in the second preferred embodiment below.

In a second preferred method for preparing the compounds of the subject invention (Scheme 2), introduction of the (R)-3-n-alkanoyloxytetradecanoyl and phosphate groups into the glucosamine and aglycon units is performed subsequent to the glycosylation (coupling) reaction using N- and O-protecting groups suitable for the chemical differentiation of the amino and hydroxyl groups present. Preferably, the N-Troc-protected glycosyl donor 6 is coupled with an N-allyloxycarbonyl (AOC)-protected aminoalkanol or thiol 7 in the presence of an appropriate catalyst aminoalkyl .beta.-glycoside 8. Most preferably, the glycosyl donor 6 possesses an anomeric acetoxy group (Z=OAc), and the coupling catalyst is boron trifluoride etherate. Other N-protecting groups for the aglycon amino group include, but are not limited to, commonly employed carbamates obvious to one skilled in the art such as t-butyl (t-BOC), benzyl (Cbz), 2,2,2-trichloroethyl (Troc), and 9-fluorenylmethyl(Fmoc).

Base-induced cleavage of the acetate groups in coupling product 8 and 4,6-acetonide formation under standard conditions known in the art gives intermediate 9. 3-O-Acylation of 9 with (R)-3-n-alkanoyloxytetradecanoic acid 4, followed by palladium(0)-mediated removal of the aglycon N-AOC group and N-acylation with (R)-3-n-alkanoyloxytetradecanoic acid 4 provides intermediate 10. Acetonide hydrolysis and functionalization of the 4- and 6-positions as described herein for the preparation of glycosyl donor 1 gives intermediate 3 (Y=O) which is then processed as in Scheme 1 to afford compounds of general Formula (I).

The present invention is further described by way of the following non-limiting Examples and Test Examples which are given for illustrative purposes only. It is important to note that the introduction of the (R)-3-n-alkanoyloxytetradecanoyl groups and the phosphate group(s) into the glucosamine and aglycon units do not necessarily have to be performed in the order shown in Schemes 1 and 2 or described in the Examples shown below. ##STR2##

EXAMPLE 1

Preparation of (R)-3-n-alkanoyloxytetradecanoic acids (4).

(1) A solution of methyl 3-oxotetradecanoate (19 g, 0.074 mol) in MeOH (100 mL) was degassed by sparging with argon (15 min). [(R)-Ru(Binap)Cl].sub.2.NEt.sub.3 catalyst (0.187 g, 0.111 mmol) and 2 N aqueous HCl (0.5 mL) were added and the resulting mixture was hydrogenated at 60 psig and 40-50.degree. C. for 18 h. The reaction was diluted with hexanes (250 mL), filtered through a short column of silica gel, and concentrated. The crude product was dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (THF; 200 mL), treated 2.4 N aqueous LiOH (83 mL, 0.2 mol) and stirred vigorously at room temperature for 4 h. The resulting slurry was partitioned between ether (200 mL) and 1 N aqueous HCl (200 mL) and the layers separated. The aqueous layer was extracted with ether (100 mL) and the combined ethereal extracts were dried (Na.sub.2 SO.sub.4) and concentrated. The crude hydroxy acid was dissolved in hot acetonitrile (250 mL), treated with dicyclohexylamine (DCHA; 17 mL, 0.085 mol) and stirred at 60.degree. C. for 1 h. The product that crystallized upon cooling was collected and recrystallized from acetonitrile (650 mL) to yield 28.6 g (91%) of dicyclohexylammonium (R)-3-hydroxytetradecanoate as a colorless solid: mp 94-95.degree.

NaCl and dried (Na.sub.2 SO.sub.4). Volatiles were removed under reduced pressure and the crude product obtained was crystallized from EtOAc-hexanes to give 47.2 g (91%) of (R)-3-hydroxytetradecanoic acid p-bromophenacyl ester as a colorless solid: mp 109-109.5.degree.

After stirring for 5 h at room temperature MeOH (0.5 mL) was added, and the reaction mixture was concentrated. The residue was partitioned between Et.sub.2 O (150 mL) and cold 10% aqueous HCl (50 mL) and the layers separated. The ethereal layer was dried (Na.sub.2 SO.sub.4) and concentrated and the residue obtained was purified on a short pad of silica gel with 5% EtOAc-hexanes. The diester was dissolved in AcOH (42 mL) and treated with three equal portions of zinc dust (.about.6 g, 90 mmol) at 60.degree. C. over a 1 h period. After an additional hour at 60.degree. C., the cooled reaction mixture was sonicated (5 min), filtered through Celite.RTM. and concentrated. The residue was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel with 10% EtOAc-hexanes to give 4.17 g (82%) of (R)-3-tetradecanoyloxytetradecanoic acid as a colorless solid: mp 28-29.degree.

Stimulation of Anti-tetanus Toxoid Antibody Production

The AGPs of the subject invention enhanced antibody production to purified tetanus toxoid in a murine model. Ten mg of each AGP sample was added to 1 ml of an oil-lecithin mixture containing squalene oil plus 12% lecithin. The mixtures were heated in a 56.degree. C. water bath and sonicated to achieve clear solutions. Fifty (50) .mu.l of each solution was emulsified by vortexing in 2 ml of sterile, pre-warmed 0.1% Tween 80 saline containing 1.0 .mu.g tetanus toxoid antigen/ml. Preparations were vortexed again just prior to administration to mice. Female C57BL/6.times.DBA/2 F.sub.1 mice (8 per group) were treated with 0.2 ml of the appropriate preparation distributed as a 0.1 ml subcutaneous injection into each flank. The final mouse dosage of the tetanus toxoid and AGP compounds was 0.2 .mu.g and 50 .mu.g, respectively. Control mice received tetanus toxoid in vehicle (oil-Tween saline). All mice were treated on day 0 followed by a second immunization on day 21. Fourteen days following the second immunization mice were bled and sera were isolated by centrifugation.

Serum samples from each mouse were evaluated for anti-tetanus toxoid antibodies by enzyme immunoassay (EIA) analysis using tetanus toxoid coated microtiter plates. Anti-tetanus antibody titers were evaluated for IgM, total Ig, as well as, IgG.sub.1, IgG.sub.2a and IgG.sub.2b isotypes. Each serum sample was diluted 2-fold for eleven dilutions starting with an initial serum dilution of 1:200. Results are shown in Tables 2-4.

Generation of a Protective Immune Response to Infectious Influenza

Mice vaccinated with formalin-inactivated influenza and the AGP compounds of the subject invention mounted a protective immune response to an influenza challenge as well as produced antibody to that antigen. Animals were vaccinated with the antigen and AGP compounds in various carriers. The degree of protection was determined by challenging the mice with intranasal (IN) admininstration of approximately 10 LD.sub.50 infectious influenza A/HK/68. Mortality was assessed for 21 days following the challenge. The number of mice surviving the challenge dose is a direct assessment of the efficacy of the vaccine. For the experiments provided this data does not necessarily correlate with the amount of antibody produced.

1) Vaccines were formulated in 0.2% triethanolamine (TEoA)/water solution containing: 1 hemagglutinating unit (HAU) of formalin-inactivated influenza A/HK/68 (FI-Flu), and 50 .mu.g of AGP except the vehicle control vaccines which contained no AGP. ICR mice (10/group) were vaccinated 1 time only. The vaccines were administered by subcutaneous (SQ) injection of 0.1 ml/site at 2 distinct sites near the inguinal lymph nodes for a total of 0.2 ml of vaccine/mouse. Mice (only 5 mice/group) were bled from the orbital plexus 14 days following the vaccination. Sera was harvested and frozen at -20.degree. C. until used for enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). All mice were challenged 30 days post vaccination by intranasal (IN) administration of approximately 10 LD.sub.50 infectious influenza A/HK/68. Mortality was assessed for 21 days following the challenge. Anti-influenza antibody titers obtained from vaccinations with TEoA formulations and corresponding survival rates of mice vaccinated with this formulation are shown in Table 8.

3) The antibody titers and survival rate of vaccinated mice were compared after a primary then a secondary vaccination. Vaccines were formulated in 0.2% TEoA/water solution containing: 1 hemagglutinating unit of formalin-inactivated influenza A/HK/68, 25 .mu.g AGP, except the vehicle control vaccine which contained no AGP. ICR mice (20/group) were administered vaccines by subcutaneous injection of 0.1 ml/site at 2 distinct sites near the inguinal lymph nodes for a total of 0.2 ml of vaccine/mouse. Each group was split into 2 subgroups 35 days after the primary vaccination. One of each subgroup was challenged at this time, the remaining subgroups received a secondary vaccination. Mice (only 5/subgroup) were bled from the orbital plexus 14 days following vaccination (primary or secondary). Sera was harvested and frozen at -20.degree. C. until used for ELISA. Mice were challenged 35 post primary, or secondary, vaccination by intranasal administration of approximately 10 LD.sub.50, or 40 LD.sub.50, infectious influenza A/HK/68, respectively. Mortality was assessed for 21 days following the challenge. Anti-influenza antibody titers and survival rates of mice post primary and post secondary vaccination are shown in Table 10.

The vaccines were administered by subcutaneous injection of 0.1 ml/site at 2 distinct sites near the inguinal lymph nodes for a total of 0.2 ml of vaccine/mouse. Mice (only 5 mice/group) were bled from the orbital plexus 14 days following the vaccination. Sera was harvested and frozen at -20.degree. C. until used for ELISA. All mice were challenged 35 post vaccination by intranasal administration of approximately 10 LD.sub.50 infectious influenza A/HK/68. Mortality was assessed for 21 days following the challenge. The length of the fatty acid chain appears to mildly affect biological activity. Results are shown in Tables 11 and 12.

The Effect of Variations in the Carbon Chain Length Between the Heteroatom X and the Aglycon Nitrogen Atom on Adjuvanticity

The length of the carbon chain between X and the aglycon nitrogen atom was extended progressively by a single atom. The effect of lengthening the chain between these two components on adjuvanticity was explored. Vaccines were formulated in 0.2% TEoA/water solution containing: 1 hemagglutinating unit of formalin-inactivated influenza A/HK/68, and 25 .mu.g of AGP, except the vehicle control vaccines which contained no AGP. ICR mice (10/group) were vaccinated 1 time only. The vaccines were administered by subcutaneous injection of 0.1 ml/site at 2 distinct sites near the inguinal lymph nodes for a total of 0.2 ml of vaccine/mouse. Mice (only 5 mice/group) were bled from the orbital plexus 14 days following the vaccination. Sera was harvested and frozen at -20.degree. C. until used for ELISA. All mice were challenged 35 days post vaccination by intranasal administration of approximately 10 LD.sub.50 infectious influenza A/HK/68. Mortality was assessed for 21 days following the challenge. Adjuvant activity appears to lessen as the length of the carbon chain between the heteroatom X and aglycon nitrogen atom increases. However, depending upon the residues attached to this carbon chain the biologic and metabolic stability of the molecules may be affected. Results are shown in Table 13.

Stimulation of a Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte Response

The induction of a cytotoxic T-lymphocyte response after administration of the AGP compounds of the subject invention and a protein antigen was detected by a cytotoxicity assay. Groups of C57BL/6 mice were given a primary immunization subcutaneously (inguinal region) with 25 .mu.g ovalbumin (OVA) formulated in AGP preparations. The injected volume was 200 .mu.l. Twenty-one days later three mice per experimental group were killed and spleens removed and pooled as single cell suspensions and counted.

Spleen cells (75.times.10.sup.6 cells in 3-4 ml media) from the experimental groups were placed in a 25 cm.sup.2 T-flask. Next, 1.0 ml of irradiated (20,000 rads) E.G7 (OVA) cells at 5.times.10.sup.6 /ml were added to the flask. The volume was brought to 10 ml. The cultures were maintained by placing the T-flasks upright in a 37.degree. C., 5% CO.sub.2 incubator for four days. On day 4 the surviving cells were recovered from the flasks, washed 1.times. in fresh media resuspended in 5.0 ml, and counted.

Recovered effector cells were adjusted to 5.times.10.sup.6 viable cells/ml and 100 .mu.l volumes were diluted serially in triplicate in wells of 96 well round-bottom plates (Corning 25850) using 100 .mu.l/well of media as a diluent. Next, 100 .mu.l volumes of .sup.51 Cr-labelled (see below) targets [E.G7 (OVA)-an ovalbumin gene transfected EL-4 cell line] at 1.times.10.sup.5 cells/ml were added to the wells. Spontaneous release (SR) wells contained 100 .mu.l of targets and 100 .mu.l of media. Maximal release (MR) wells contained 100 .mu.l of targets and 100 .mu.l detergent (2% Tween 20). Effector/target (E/T) ratios were 50:1, 25:1, 12.5:1. The plates were centrifuged at 400.times.g and incubated at 37.degree. C., 5% CO.sub.2 for 4 hr. After the incubation the well supernatants were collected using a Skatron Supernatant Collection System.

Percent specific lysis= ##EQU1##

Target cells, E.G7 (OVA), were labelled with .sup.51 Cr (sodium chromate) as follows. In a total volume of 1.0 ml were mixed 5.times.10.sup.6 target cells and 250 .mu.Ci .sup.51 Cr in 15 ml conical tube. The cell suspensions was incubated in a 37.degree. C. water bath for 90 min., with gentle mixing every 15 min. After incubation the labelled cells were washed 3.times. by centrifugation and decanting with 15 ml volumes of media. After the third centrifugation the cells were resuspended in 10 ml of fresh media and allowed to stand at room temperature for 30 min. and then centrifuged. The cells were finally resuspended in media at 1.times.10.sup.5 cells/ml.

Mice immunized according to the procedure above with the AGPs of the subject invention displayed a cytotoxic T-lymphocyte response to the OVA antigen as shown in Table 20.
