A method of creating nanoclusters (NCs) from soluble peptide molecules is described utilizing an approach based on a tyrosine-tyrosine crosslinking reaction. A reactive tag comprising histidine and tyrosine residues was introduced at the termini of the peptide molecules. The crosslinking reaction led to the creation of dityrosine bonds within the tag, which allowed for the generation of peptide NCs. We show that it is essential for the reactive tag to be present at both the ‘N’ and ‘C’ termini of the peptide for cluster formation to occur. Additionally, the crosslinking reaction was systematically characterized to show the importance of reaction conditions on final cluster diameter, allowing us to generate NCs of various sizes. To demonstrate the immunogenic potential of the peptide clusters, we chose to study the conserved influenza peptide, M2e, as the antigen. M2e NCs were formulated using the crosslinking reaction. We show the ability of the clusters to generate protective immunity in a dose, size, and frequency dependent manner against a lethal influenza A challenge in BALB/c mice. Taken together, the data presented suggests this new cluster formation technique can generate highly immunogenic peptide NCs in a simple and controllable manner.
