Problems solved by technology

[0006] In addition, based on the report of Non-Patent Document 10, which considers CAPRIN-1 to be a cell membrane protein, Patent Documents 2 and 3 describe that CAPRIN-1, as a cell membrane protein, can be used as a target of antibody drugs for cancer treatment under the name of M11S1 ( In the examples, there is no description about the treatment using the antibody against this protein at all)

preparation example Construction

[0046] The preparation of the antigen, the preparation of the antibody, and the pharmaceutical composition related to the present invention will be described below.

[0047]

[0048] The protein or its fragment used as a sensitizing antigen for obtaining the antibody against CAPRIN-1 used in the present invention can be derived from humans, dogs, cows, horses, mice, rats, chickens, etc. The types of animals are not limited. However, the protein or fragment thereof is preferably selected in consideration of suitability for mother cells used in cell fusion, and generally, mammalian-derived proteins are preferred, and human-derived proteins are particularly preferred. For example, when CAPRIN-1 is human CAPRIN-1, human CAPRIN-1 protein and / or partial peptides thereof, cells expressing human CAPRIN-1, etc. can be used.

[0049] The base sequence and amino acid sequence of human CAPRIN-1 and its homologues can be obtained, for example, by accessing GenBank (US NCBI), using algor...

Embodiment 1

[0180] Example 1 Identification of a new cancer antigen protein using the SEREX method

[0181] (1) Preparation of cDNA library

[0182] Total RNA was extracted from the testis tissue of healthy dogs by the Acid guanidium-Phenol-Chloroform method (Acid guanidium-Phenol-Chloroform method), and the Oligotex-dT30 mRNA purification kit (manufactured by Takara Shuzo Co., Ltd.) was used to purify the polysaccharide A RNA.

[0183] The thus obtained mRNA (5 µg) was used to synthesize a dog testis cDNA phage library. The cDNA phage library was prepared using cDNA Synthesis Kit, ZAP-cDNA Synthesis Kit, and ZAP-cDNA GigapackIII Gold Cloning Kit (manufactured by STRATAGENE), and the library was prepared according to the instructions attached to the kit. The size of the cDNA phage library produced was 7.73×10 5 pfu / ml.

[0184] (2) Screening of cDNA library using serum

[0185] The dog testis cDNA phage library prepared above was used for immune screening. Specifically, infect the h...

Embodiment 2

[0213] The preparation of embodiment 2 human CAPRIN-1

[0214] (1) Preparation of recombinant protein

[0215] Based on the gene of SEQ ID NO: 1 obtained in Example 1, the recombinant protein of human CAPRIN-1 was prepared by the following method. PCR was carried out as follows: 1 μl of cDNA whose expression could be confirmed by RT-PCR using the cDNA of various human tissues and cells prepared in Example 1, two primers containing the restriction enzyme cutting sequence of SacI and XhoI (sequence number 38 and 39) each of 0.4 μM, 0.2 mM dNTP, and 1.25 U PrimeSTAR HS polymerase (manufactured by Takara Shuzo Co., Ltd.)) was added to make the total amount of 50 μl of each reagent and accompanying buffer, and a Thermal Cycler (BIO RAD, Inc. system), the cycle of 98°C-10 seconds and 68°C-2.5 minutes was repeated 30 times. In addition, the above-mentioned two types of primers are primers for amplifying the region encoding the entire length of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: ...

Abstract

According to the present invention, a cancer antigen protein to be specifically expressed on the surfaces of cancer cells is identified and thus the use of an antibody targeting the cancer antigen protein as an agent for treating and / or preventing a cancer is provided. Specifically, the present invention provides a pharmaceutical composition for treating and / or preventing a cancer, which comprises an antibody or a fragment thereof as an active ingredient having immunological reactivity with a partial polypeptide of CAPRIN-1, wherein CAPRIN-1 is represented by any of the even-numbered sequences of SEQ ID NOS: 2 to 30, and wherein the partial polypeptide comprises the amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 37 or an amino acid sequence having 80% or more sequence identity with the amino acid sequence.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to novel medical uses of antibodies against CAPRIN-1 or fragments thereof as therapeutic and / or preventive agents for cancer. Background technique [0002] Cancer is the number one cause of death among all diseases, and the current treatment is mainly surgery, combined with radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Despite the development of new surgical methods and the discovery of new anticancer drugs in recent years, the status quo is that except for some cancers, the results of cancer treatment have not improved much. In recent years, with the advancement of molecular biology and cancer immunology, antibodies specific to cancer, cancer antigens recognized by cytotoxic T cells, and genes encoding cancer antigens have been identified. The expectation of a target-specific cancer treatment method is increasing (Non-Patent Document 1). [0003] In cancer therapy methods, in order to reduce side effects, it is desirable that a peptid...
