Problems solved by technology

However, phage display technology mostly immunizes humans, mice, and rabbits, and rarely immunizes camels, and the experiment period is long, taking about 77 days. The screening is for conventional antibodies with heavy and light chains paired with each other, phages, etc. Demonstrating technology is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also technically difficult
[0005] Therefore, the technology for screening Nanobodies still needs to be improved

Embodiment 1

[0154] Screening of nanobodies using immune library technology, the flow chart is shown in Figure 6 ,details as follows:

[0155] 1. Primers designed for enrichment of nanobodies

[0156] Using the antibodies of experimental animal species (dromedary camel, Bactrian camel, llama, etc.) in the IMGT database (http: / / www.imgt.org / ) as reference sequences, primers targeting the C region were designed. Figure 4 A schematic diagram of primer design for VHH, the heavy chain (Common VH) of a common diabody (ie, a traditional antibody) and the light chain (Light Chain) of a common diabody is shown. Among them, for VHH, the primers are designed for the CH2 region, for the heavy chain of the common diabody, the primers are designed for the CH1 region, and for the light chain of the common diabody, the primers are designed for the C region. In this example, the Oligo6 software was used for primer design, and the obtained primer sequences were delivered to a primer synthesis company fo...

Embodiment 2

[0245] In this example, on the basis of Example 1, further combined with protein profiling analysis technology to screen nanobodies, the flow chart of screening nanobodies using immune repertoire technology combined with protein profiling analysis technology is shown in Figure 7 ,details as follows:

[0246] 1. Protein Spectrum Experimental Techniques and Methods

[0247] 1. Affinity Purified Antibody

[0248] (1) IgG enrichment

[0249] The serum (i.e. peripheral blood) of camels immunized with antigens (such as CK18, 863-17 (NDKA)) removes fat, cell debris and small particles, and then enriches IgG with Protein A / G to obtain enrichment product. After the enrichment product is obtained, it is confirmed that the obtained enrichment product can specifically bind to the known antigen polypeptide used by Western blot test or enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).

[0250] (2) Affinity purification

[0251] The antigenic polypeptide used in Example 1 was connected to a c...

Embodiment 3

[0288] Synthesize the antibody gene sequence obtained by screening in Example 1, express the Nanobody through a protein expression system, and identify the Nanobody, as follows:

[0289] 1. Construction of expression vector

[0290] 1. Digestion

[0291] 20 μl plasmid pET28a DNA, 1 μl EcoRI, 1 μl BamHI, 5 μl 10×K buffer, 23 μl ddH 2 O, 37°C for 5h. Using an agarose gel DNA recovery kit, cut the gel and recover the target fragment (ie, the nanobody gene sequence) and the carrier.

[0292] 2. Connection, Transformation

[0293] (1) Connection:

[0294] 1 μl vector, 3 μl target fragment, 1 μl T4 ligase, 5 μl 2× buffer, mix well, and react at room temperature for more than 30 minutes.

[0295] (2) Conversion

[0296] 1) Take out the competent cells (BL21) stored at minus 80°C and thaw slowly on ice.

[0297] 2) Add competent cells to the ligation product or plasmid DNA (1 μl), mix well, and place on ice for 30 minutes.

[0298] 3) Heat shock at 42°C for 90s.

[0299] 4) A...

Abstract

The invention provides a method for screening nanobodies and a corresponding system. The method adopts polymerase chain reaction and cDNA 5' end rapid amplification technology to screen and obtain nanobodies, and the experimental period only needs about 21 days.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of biotechnology, in particular to a method and system for screening nanobodies. Background technique [0002] For a long time, we think that antibodies refer to antibodies that are generally composed of heavy chain and light chain pairing, and have complete constant regions such as CH1, CH2 and CH3, which are so-called traditional antibodies. However, in 1993, Hamers-Casterman found a natural heavy chain antibody (HCAb) containing only heavy chains without light chains in the serum of camelids. Cloning the variable region of the heavy chain antibody to obtain a single-domain antibody consisting of only one heavy chain variable region is called VHH antibody (variable domain of heavy chain of heavy-chain antibody, VHH). The VHH crystal has a diameter of 2.5nm, a length of 4nm, and a cylindrical shape, so it is also called a nanobody (nanobody, Nb) or a single domain heavy chain antibody. [0003] Nanobodies have been...
