Embodiment 1

[0051] Example 1. Establishment, screening and identification of a hybridoma cell line stably secreting anti-DLK1 monoclonal antibody

[0052] Step 1. Preparation of recombinant human DLK1 protein (immune antigen)

[0053] The expression vector pcDNA3.1B-DLK1 was constructed by PCR technology. In order to be more conveniently applied to gene expression, this empty plasmid pcDNA3.1B was artificially transformed in our laboratory. The specific method is to delete the BGH sequence at the 5' end of the sequence and add the T7 promoter, Xho I, Not I, EcoRV and EcoR I restriction sites, and introduce three flag tags. The gene fragment encoding the human DLK1 secretory region sequence (DLK1 soluble region, 24-303aa) was amplified from the human genome. The kappa signal peptide sequence was added to the front, and the His 6 tag tag sequence was added to the rear to construct the insert fragment kappa sp-DLK1soluble reg- His 6 tag, identified correctly by sequence determination, was...

[0064] Example 2, Preparation of DLK1 single-chain antibody

[0065] 1. Extract hybridoma cell line RNA and reverse transcribe it into cDNA by reverse transcriptase

[0066] The hybridoma cell line was revived, and the RNA was extracted by the Trizol method; after quantification, 2 μg of RNA was taken and reverse-transcribed into cDNA under the action of reverse transcriptase (Takarg reverse transcription kit).

[0067] 2. Using the above cDNA as a template, heavy chain variable region primer VH Mix and light chain variable region primer VL Mix (amplification primers are from the kit provided by Novagen, Cat. No. 69831-3) were respectively under the action of DNApolymerase , to amplify the heavy chain and light chain variable region genes;

[0091] 1.1 Vector linearization: the CAR protein expression vector is linearized after single digestion with BamH I;

[0092] 1.2 According to the principle of homologous recombination, PCR primers were designed, and the scFv single-chain antibody gene was inserted into the CAR vector by seamless cloning to construct the DLK1 CAR vector;

Abstract

The invention discloses a CAR-T construction method with antigens DLK1 related to liver cancers as targets. According to the method, single-chain antibodies of the antigens DLK1 related to the liver cancers are selected to be recombined into T cells, the genetically-engineered T cells are further activated, and therefore the lethality of the T cells on liver cancer cells is improved; according tothe single-chain antibodies of DLK1, RNA is obtained from a hybridoma cell line which secretes monoclonal antibodies of DLK1, and then cDNA is obtained after reverse transcription; PCR primers for a heavy-chain variable area and a light-chain variable area are designed; with cDNA as a template, the single-chain antibodies of DLK1 are obtained by amplifying and splicing the heavy-chain and light-chain variable areas. A detection method has relative sensitivity and specificity, and the side effects of recognizing normal cells by the T cells can be reduced. The CAR-T construction method providesa certain research basis for a CAR-T cell immunotherapy in the aspect of the immunotherapy of the liver cancers.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of emerging biotherapy technologies, in particular to a method for constructing CAR-T cells targeting the liver cancer-associated antigen DLK1. Background technique [0002] Primary liver cancer is one of the common malignant tumors, most of which are hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), which ranks sixth in the incidence of malignant tumors and third in the mortality rate. In my country, the morbidity and mortality of liver cancer ranks second among cancers. Because of the lack of early preventive diagnosis and treatment measures, and because of its high degree of malignancy and rapid progression, currently, the treatment methods for hepatocellular carcinoma mainly focus on chemotherapy and surgical resection, and the curative effect is not obvious, especially for patients with advanced liver cancer. The survival period is only a few months. The occurrence and development of liver cancer is a multi-stage, multi-...
