AI Technical Summary
Existing technologies are not effective in preparing heavy chain antibodies from non-human mammals or their offspring, and the subclasses of heavy chain antibodies vary greatly among different mammals, affecting the specificity and affinity of the antibodies.
By using gene editing technology, the CH1 domain of the IgM heavy chain constant region and part or all of the CH1 domain of the IgG heavy chain constant region in the genome of non-human mammals are knocked out to ensure the expression of heavy chain antibodies. Gene knockout is performed using the CRISPR/Cas9 method, while preserving the expression of κ light chain and/or λ light chain.
The prepared non-human mammals or their progeny can efficiently produce heavy chain antibodies with high specificity and affinity, and normal immune response, making them suitable for the production of heavy chain antibodies, especially IgG2c antibodies.

Abstract
Description
[0001] Cross-referencing
[0002] This application claims priority to patent application No. 202010924095.1, filed on September 4, 2020, entitled "A method for preparing a non-human mammal or its offspring and its application thereof", the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field
[0003] This application relates to the field of biotechnology, specifically to a method for preparing a non-human mammal or its offspring and its application, wherein the non-human mammal or its offspring can be used to produce heavy chain antibodies. Background Technology
[0004] An antibody is a four-peptide chain structure consisting of two identical heavy chains (H chains) and two identical light chains (L chains) linked by non-covalent or disulfide bonds. The antibody heavy chain includes the heavy chain constant region (C...). H ) and heavy chain variable region (V H ); where: the heavy chain constant region of IgD, IgG, and IgA includes 4 domains: CH1, hinge region, CH2, CH3; IgM and IgE include 4 domains: CH1, CH2, CH3, CH4 (Janeway's Immunobiology, 9 th Edition); the CH1 domain of the heavy chain constant region is connected to the light chain constant region via disulfide bonds; the heavy chain variable region includes a highly variable region of complementarity-determining regions (CDRs) and a relatively conservative region called the framework region (FRs). The heavy chain variable region includes 3 CDRs and 4 FRs, arranged in the following order from the amino terminus to the carboxyl terminus: FR1, CDR1, FR2, CDR2, FR3, CDR3, FR4.
[0005] Based on the differences in antigen specificity within the constant region of the antibody heavy chain, antibodies are classified into five classes: IgM, IgD, IgG, IgE, and IgA. Even within the same class, antibodies can be further subdivided into several subclasses due to variations in antigen specificity within their heavy chain constant regions. For example, human IgG includes IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, and IgG4; human IgA includes IgA1 and IgA2; and the subclasses of antibodies may differ between different mammals (such as humans, alpacas, and mice) and between different strains of mice (such as C57BL / 6 mice and BALB / c mice).
[0006] Genes associated with antibody heavy chains include five gene segments: L, V, D, J, and C. The variable region of the heavy chain is encoded by gene segments V, D, and J, while the constant region is encoded by gene segment C. Human antibody heavy chain genes include approximately 40 functional V genes, 23 D genes, 6 J genes, and 9 C genes (Source: Janeway's Immunobiology, 9). th (Edition, Page 177). The gene encoding the IgM heavy chain constant region is the Ighm gene (Immunoglobulin heavy constant mu), the gene encoding the IgD heavy chain constant region is the Ighd gene (Immunoglobulin heavy constant delta), the gene encoding the IgG heavy chain constant region is the Ighg gene (Immunoglobulin heavy constant gamma), and the gene encoding the IgA heavy chain constant region is the Igha gene (Immunoglobulin heavy constant alpha), etc. Correspondingly, the gene encoding the IgG1 heavy chain constant region is the Ighg1 gene (Immunoglobulin heavy constant gamma 1), the gene encoding the IgG3 heavy chain constant region is the Ighg3 gene (Immunoglobulin heavy constant gamma 3), and the gene encoding the IgG2b heavy chain constant region is the Ighg2b gene (Immunoglobulin heavy constant gamma 2b). Antibodies with diverse characteristics are generated through rearrangement of the heavy chain variable regions. After mature B cells are stimulated by antigens, they produce secretory antibodies IgM. Upon repeated antigen stimulation, a second rearrangement occurs, and the types of immunoglobulins expressed and secreted on the membrane will change from IgM with low affinity to other classes or subclasses of immunoglobulins such as IgG, IgA, and IgE with high affinity. This phenomenon is called class switch or isotype switch.
[0007] Heavy chain antibodies, also known as heavy chain only antibodies, are immunoglobulin antibodies that consist of only two heavy chains. Naturally occurring heavy chain antibodies exist in nature in camelids and sharks. The heavy chain loci in camelid germlines contain gene segments that encode heavy chain constant regions, and during maturation, the rearranged VDJ joining region is spliced to the 5' end of a gene segment that encodes an IgG hinge region, resulting in IgG2 and IgG3 heavy chain antibodies that lack a CH1 region that mediates binding to light chains and thus cannot bind to light chains. Heavy chain antibodies can also be generated using methods that genetically modify animals, and the classification of the generated heavy chain antibodies is based on the differences in antigen specificity of the heavy chain constant regions of the antibodies.
[0008] Compared with the molecular weight of conventional antibodies (150-160 kDa), heavy chain antibodies are much smaller, and an IgG2c heavy chain antibody has a heavy chain of about 40 kDa, and the heavy chain variable region that determines antigen recognition specificity is only about 15 kDa. Heavy chain antibodies are characterized by small molecular weight and the ability to bind some hidden antigen epitopes, and are particularly suitable for target sites that are difficult to obtain antibodies.

[0127] Incorrect expression: in contrast to correct expression, incorrect expression actually has the meaning commonly understood in the art. For example, incorrect expression of CH1 domain refers to incorrect expression of CH1 domain of heavy chain constant region caused by mutation or deletion in the range of 10 nucleotides upstream and downstream of the exon encoding CH1 domain of heavy chain constant region, thereby resulting in loss of the ability of CH1 domain to bind to light chain. For another example, incorrect expression of IgG heavy chain constant region encoded by a gene encoding IgG heavy chain constant region refers to that the immunoglobulin antibody obtained by expression of the gene does not have antibody efficacy; in contrast, correct expression of IgG heavy chain constant region encoded by a gene encoding IgG heavy chain constant region refers to that the immunoglobulin antibody obtained by expression of the gene has antibody efficacy.
[0128] The first gene encoding IgG heavy chain constant region, the second gene encoding IgG heavy chain constant region, the third gene encoding IgG heavy chain constant region, and the fourth gene encoding IgG heavy chain constant region refer to the order of arrangement of the genes encoding IgG heavy chain constant region from upstream to downstream at the locus encoding IgG heavy chain constant region.
[0129] Beneficial effects
[0130] The present application prepares a non-human mammal or its offspring by the steps of making the non-human mammal not express or not correctly express CH1 domain of IgM heavy chain constant region and making one or more genes encoding IgG heavy chain constant region not express or not correctly express CH1 domain upon expression, and the obtained non-human mammal or its offspring can be used to produce heavy chain antibodies. The non-human mammal obtained by the preparation method of the present application does not introduce any exogenous gene encoding antibody heavy chain variable region and constant region, and can directly utilize all VDJ genes encoding antibody heavy chain variable region in its own genome, thereby producing heavy chain antibodies with better diversity through heavy chain variable region rearrangement.
[0131] It is generally believed in immunology that IgM is extremely important for the development of B cells, and the development of B cells is extremely important for the production of antibodies. The present application verifies through experiments that even if the gene encoding the CH1 domain of the IgM heavy chain constant region is not expressed, or the gene encoding the IgM heavy chain constant region and the gene encoding the IgD heavy chain constant region are deleted, it does not significantly affect the immune maturation of non-human mammals, all mice survive normally, and can still produce high-titer immune responses, and the inventors have also screened specific and high-affinity heavy chain antibodies therefrom.
[0132] By selecting a genetically engineered gene encoding an IgG heavy chain constant region, a specific subclass of heavy chain IgG antibodies can be obtained. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0211] First part, Ighm-d-g homozygous mice and their immunization results
[0212] Example 1, Preparation of Ighm-d-g homozygous mice (herein also referred to as MDG1 mice)
[0213] Ighm-d-g mice refer to C57BL / 6 mice in which the Ighm gene, the Ighd gene, the Ighg3 gene, the Ighg1 gene, the Ighg2b gene and the first exon of the Ighg2c gene, which is responsible for encoding the CH1 domain of the IgG2c heavy chain, have been knocked out. Ighm-d-g homozygous mice are prepared by the following steps.
[0214] (1) Obtaining of nucleic acid molecules:
[0215] The schematic diagram of the genetic locus of the antibody heavy chain variable and constant regions of C57BL / 6 mice is shown in Figure 1 , and the design is shown in Figure 2The targeting strategy shown is to knock out the nucleotide sequence encoding the CH1 domain in mouse Ighm, Ighd, Ighg3, Ighg1, Ighg2b and Ighg2c genes. The inventors selected the target sequence of sgRNA upstream of the first exon of mouse Ighm gene (SEQ ID NO: 1, SEQ ID NO: 2), downstream of the first exon of mouse Ighg2c (SEQ ID NO: 3, SEQ ID NO: 4), and designed the sgRNA sequence according to the target sequence, as shown in Table 1.
[0216] Table 1
[0217]
[0218] (2) Construct the nucleic acid molecule into the backbone plasmid and transcribe in vitro to obtain sgRNA:
[0219] The synthesized forward and reverse DNA oligos encoding sgRNA sequences were annealed to form complementary double-stranded, and were ligated to the sgRNA expression vector (px330) using T4 ligase. After ligation, the plasmid was verified by professional sequencing company. The results showed that the target plasmid was obtained, and further sgRNA was obtained by in vitro transcription.
[0220] (3) Introduce the sgRNA and Cas9 protein into the host animal zygote:
[0221] The mouse is induced to ovulate, in vitro fertilized and cultured to obtain zygotes. Then the sgRNA and Cas9 protein are mixed, and the mouse zygote is electroporated or the Cas9 protein (or Cas9 mRNA, commercially available) and sgRNA are injected into the mouse zygote by microinjection.
[0222] (4) Implant the cells containing the above sgRNA and Cas9 protein into the host animal:
[0223] The above zygote cells are implanted into surrogate mother mice to produce F0 chimeric mice. The genomic DNA of the mouse tail is extracted and detected by PCR to detect the individuals with knockout in the F0 generation of mice. The gene knockout mice are sequenced to confirm the deletion of the target sequence. The F0 chimeric mice with correct gene knockout are selected for subsequent breeding and identification.
[0224] The PCR primers Ighm-d-g-1F and Ighm-d-g-1R can detect the knockout gene (such as Figure 2 indicated by the arrow), and the primers Ighd-2F and Ighd-2R can detect the wild type gene (such as Figure 2The sequences of the primers are shown in Table 2, and the PCR results for detecting the knockout individuals in Ighm-d-g mice are shown in the schematic diagram of Figure 3 The knockout gene of Ighm-d-g homozygote is amplified by primers Ighm-d-g-1F and Ighm-d-g-1R to obtain a band of about 700 bp (as shown in the left panel), and no band is amplified by primers Ighd-2F and Ighd-2R (as shown in the right panel); the wild-type gene of Ighm-d-g cannot be amplified by primers Ighm-d-g-1F and Ighm-d-g-1R (as shown in the left panel), and a band of about 600 bp is amplified by primers Ighd-2F and Ighd-2R (as shown in the right panel).
[0225] Table 2
[0226]
[0227] (5) Breeding of heterozygous and homozygous gene knockout mice:
[0228] The F0 generation mice with the target gene knockout are mated with wild-type mice to obtain F1 generation mice, and the genome of the mouse tail is extracted and detected by PCR to select the gene knockout positive F1 generation heterozygous mice which can be stably inherited. The F1 generation heterozygous mice are mated with each other to obtain the gene knockout positive F2 generation homozygous mice, i.e. Ighm-d-g homozygous mice. The genotype of the obtained F1 generation heterozygous or F2 generation homozygous mice is detected by the same method and steps as in (4).
[0229] Example 2, antigen immune response and titer detection
[0230] The Ighm-d-g homozygous mice are immunized with human C-reactive protein (CRP).
[0231] The immunization method is as follows: 6-8 week old male mice are selected, and the antigen human C-reactive protein (CRP, A-5172, BBI Life Science) is emulsified with an equal volume of Freund's complete adjuvant (F5881, Sigma) to a state of not dripping, i.e. for subcutaneous multiple injection of the mice for the first immunization, the injection dose is 100 μg per mouse, and after the first immunization, subsequent subcutaneous immunization is performed every 2 weeks, the CRP antigen is emulsified with an equal volume of Freund's incomplete adjuvant (F5506, Sigma), and then the mice are injected subcutaneously in multiple points, and the injection dose is 100 μg per mouse each time.
[0232] The serum titer detection method is as follows: the CRP antigen is diluted to 2 μg / mL, 100 μl is taken and added to a polystyrene enzyme-linked detection plate, and the HRP-goat anti-mouse IgG-Fc (Jackson 115-035-071) is used to detect the specific IgG2c antibody heavy chain specifically combined with the CRP antigen in the serum.
[0233] like Figure 4 As shown, blood was collected one week after the first immunization, one week after the second immunization, and one week after the third immunization. The serum was diluted with PBS, starting with a serial dilution of 1:500. ELISA detection of serum titers showed that no specific antibodies binding to the antigen CRP appeared in the unimmunized and first-immunized mice. After the second immunization, IgG2c antibodies specifically binding to the antigen appeared in the mice. The titer did not increase further after the third immunization, and the serum titer was around 1:8000, which can be used for the next antibody gene retrieval experiment.
[0234] Example 3: Examination of spleen, thymus, lymph nodes, and organs in unimmunized Ighm-dg homozygous mice and Ighm-dg homozygous mice immunized with CRP antigen.
[0235] Following Example 2 above, the mice were euthanized by carbon dioxide asphyxiation. Dissection revealed the size and morphology of the thymus, spleen, mesenteric lymph nodes, submandibular lymph nodes, and multiple organs including the heart, liver, lungs, and kidneys. Dissection showed no significant abnormalities in the thymus, mesenteric lymph nodes, submandibular lymph nodes, or major organs in both unimmunized Ighm-dg homozygous mice and Ighm-dg homozygous mice immunized with the antigen.
[0236] Example 4: Antigen immunization produces specific IgG2c heavy chain antibodies
[0237] Following Example 2 above, Western blot was performed on CRP antigen-immunized mouse serum: 2 μL of immunized mouse serum was added to 100 μL of PBS, and reacted with 10 μL of CRP antigen-Sepharose packing material at room temperature for 60 minutes. The mixture was then centrifuged at 6000 rpm for 30 seconds, and the supernatant was discarded. The packing material was washed three times with PBS, resuspended in 10 μL of PBS, boiled, and subjected to 12% SDS-PAGE electrophoresis. After transfer to a PVDF membrane, the membrane was reacted with HRP-goat anti-mouse IgG-Fc (Jackson 115-035-071, used for heavy chain detection) antibody and HRP-goat anti-mouse Ig light chain (Jackson, 115-035-174) antibody, respectively, and further developed.
[0238] According to the design of the present application, since the genes of mouse IgM, IgD, IgG1, IgG2b and IgG3 are knocked out, immunizing Ighm-d-g homozygous mice with antigen protein can only produce IgG2c subclass antibodies, and since the CH1 gene of IgG2c heavy chain is knocked out, immunizing Ighm-d-g homozygous mice with antigen protein can produce IgG2c heavy chain antibodies (without CH1 domain), and the molecular weight of IgG2c single heavy chain is about 40KD. After immunization with antigen protein, the antibodies produced by Ighm-d-g homozygous mice are separated, electrophoresed, colored and the like, and a specific band that binds to antigen CRP appears around 80KD size band, which is consistent with the molecular weight of the theoretical IgG2c heavy chain dimer, and includes a dimer that does not bind to HRP-goat anti-mouse Ig light chain (Jackson, 115-035-174) antibody.

[0320] Part Two: Preparation of IghM-3G3 homozygous mice and their immunization results
[0321] IghM-3G3 mice are C57BL / 6 mice in which the first exon of the Ighm gene, as well as the Ighg3, Ighg1, Ighg2b, and the first exon of the Ighg2c gene, have been knocked out. First, homozygous IghM mice (i.e., C57BL / 6 mice with the first exon of the Ighm gene knocked out) are generated, and then IghM-3G3 homozygous mice are generated based on these homozygous IghM mice.
[0322] Example 9: Preparation of IghM homozygous mice
[0323] The preparation of IghM homozygous mice includes the following steps:
[0324] (1) Obtaining of nucleic acid molecules:
[0325] The schematic diagram of the gene locus of C57BL / 6 mouse antibody heavy chain variable region and constant region is shown in Figure 1 The targeting strategy as shown in Figure 10 was designed to knock out the nucleotide sequence encoding the CH1 domain in the mouse Ighm gene.
[0326] In order to knock out the nucleotide sequence encoding the CH1 domain in the mouse Ighm gene, the inventors selected the sgRNA targeting sequence upstream of the first exon of the mouse Ighm gene (SEQ ID NO: 1, SEQ ID NO: 2) and downstream of the first exon of the mouse Ighm gene (SEQ ID NO: 5, SEQ ID NO: 6), and designed the sgRNA sequence according to the targeting sequence, as shown in Table 8.
[0327] Table 8
[0328]
[0329]
[0330] (2) Constructing the nucleic acid molecules into a backbone plasmid and transcribing in vitro to obtain RNA:
[0331] The forward and reverse DNA oligos of the synthesized sgRNA sequence were annealed to form complementary double-stranded DNA, which was ligated to the sgRNA expression vector (px330) using T4 ligase. After ligation, the plasmid was sequenced by a professional sequencing company. The results showed that the target plasmid was obtained, and the sgRNA was further obtained by in vitro transcription.
[0332] (3) Introducing the sgRNA and Cas9 protein into the host animal zygote:
[0333] The mouse was induced to ovulate, in vitro fertilized, and the zygote was cultured. Then the sgRNA and Cas9 protein were mixed, and the mouse zygote was electroporated, or the Cas9 protein (or Cas9 mRNA, commercially available) was injected into the mouse zygote together with the sgRNA by microinjection.
[0334] (4) Implanting the cells containing the sgRNA and Cas9 protein into a surrogate animal:
[0335] The fertilized egg cell is implanted into a surrogate mother mouse to produce F0 generation chimeric mice. The F0 generation mice in which the knockout has occurred are detected by extracting the mouse tail genomic DNA and PCR detection. The gene knockout mice are sequenced to confirm that the target sequence has been deleted. The F0 generation chimeric mice in which the gene has been correctly knocked out are selected for subsequent breeding and identification.
[0336] PCR primers Ighm-F and Ighm-R can detect the knockout gene (as shown by the arrow in the middle), and the primer sequences are shown in Table 9: Figure 10
[0337] Table 9
[0338]
[0339] The detection results are shown in Figure 11 When PCR detection is performed using the above primers, the Ighm wild-type gene can amplify a band of about 600 bp, and the Ighm CH1 knockout gene can amplify a band of about 300 bp. It can be seen from Figure 11 that clones #1, #2, #3 and #6 contain the Ighm CH1 knockout gene. The gene knockout mice are sequenced to confirm that the first exon of the Ighm gene of the knockout mice is deleted.
[0340] (5) Breeding of heterozygous and homozygous gene knockout mice:
[0341] The F0 generation mice in which the target gene has been knocked out are mated with wild-type mice to obtain F1 generation mice. The genomic DNA of the mouse tail is extracted and PCR detection is performed to select the gene knockout positive F1 generation heterozygous mice that can be stably inherited. The F1 generation heterozygous mice are then mated with each other to obtain the gene knockout positive F2 generation homozygous mice, i.e., IghM homozygous mice. The genotype of the obtained F1 generation heterozygous or F2 generation homozygous mice is determined by the same method and steps as in step 4.
[0342] Example 10, IgM heavy chain antibody gene retrieval
[0343] After immunization with the CRP antigen according to the above Example 2, the IghM homozygous mice are euthanized and the spleen cells are taken. The total RNA is extracted by Trizol lysis, and cDNA is obtained by reverse transcription. The heavy chain variable region and the heavy chain constant region connected thereto are amplified by PCR using IgM subtype antibody specific primers. The primers used and their sequences are as follows:
[0344] MHV1, MHV2, MHV3, MHV4, MHV5, MHV6, MHV7, MHV8, MHV9, MHV10, MHV11, MHV12 are shown in Example 5;
[0345] B6IghM CH2R4: GTTCATCTCTGCGACAGC (SEQ ID NO: 46);
[0346] PCR reaction system is shown in Table 10:
[0347] Table 10
[0348]
[0349] PCR reaction program: 98℃, 2min - 30 cycles (98℃, 10s - 50℃, 20s - 72℃, 40s) - 72℃, 5min - 16℃.
[0350] The PCR amplification product was ligated to pEASY-T5 Zero Cloning Vector, TOP10 competent cells were transformed and LB plates (ampicillin resistance) were coated, and clones were picked for colony PCR. The positive clones were sent for sequencing. According to the sequencing results, the IgM antibody heavy chain variable region FR4 expressed in the IghM homozygous mouse was directly connected to CH2 (the initial amino acid sequence AVAEMN). The results are shown in Figure 12 , and the genomic IgM CH1 exon knockout was successful.
[0351] Example 11, Preparation of IghM-3G3 homozygous mice
[0352] A method for preparing IghM-3G3 homozygous mice includes the following steps:
[0353] (1) Obtaining of nucleic acid molecules:
[0354] The schematic diagram of the genetic locus of the antibody heavy chain variable region and constant region of C57BL / 6 mice is shown in Figure 1 , a targeting strategy as shown in Figure 13 is designed. On the basis of the IghM homozygous mice obtained in Example 9, the Ighg3 gene, Ighg1 gene, Ighg2b gene and the first exon located on the Ighg2c gene are further knocked out.
[0355] To knock out the first exon encoding the CH1 domain in mouse Ighm, and the first exon encoding the CH1 domain in Ighg3, Ighg1, Ighg2b, and Ighg2c genes, the inventors selected sgRNA target sequences upstream of the first exon of the mouse Ighg3 gene (SEQ ID NO:7, SEQ ID NO:8) and downstream of the first exon of the mouse Ighg2c gene (SEQ ID NO:3, SEQ ID NO:4) based on IghM homozygous mice. The inventors then designed sgRNA sequences based on these target sequences, as shown in Table 11.
[0356] Table 11
[0357]
[0358] (2) Nucleic acid molecules were constructed into a backbone plasmid and transcribed in vitro to obtain RNA:
[0359] The forward and reverse DNA oligos of the synthesized sgRNA sequence were annealed to form complementary double strands, which were then ligated into the sgRNA expression vector (px330) using T4 ligase. After ligation, the results were verified by sequencing by a professional sequencing company, and the results showed that the target plasmid was obtained. sgRNA was then obtained through in vitro transcription.
[0360] (3) Introduce the sgRNA and Cas9 protein into the fertilized egg of the host animal:
[0361] Mice were induced to ovulate, in vitro fertilized, and fertilized eggs were cultured. Then, sgRNA and Cas9 protein were mixed and electroporated into mouse fertilized eggs, or Cas9 protein (or Cas9 mRNA, which is commercially available) was injected into mouse fertilized eggs together with sgRNA using microinjection.
[0362] (4) Inoculate the cells containing the above-mentioned sgRNA and Cas9 protein into the host animal:
[0363] The fertilized egg cells described above were implanted into surrogate female mice to produce F0 generation chimeric mice. Genomic DNA was extracted from the mouse tails and PCR was used to detect individuals with gene knockout in the F0 generation. Sequencing of the gene knockout mice confirmed the deletion of the target sequence. F0 generation chimeric mice with correctly knocked-out genes were selected for subsequent breeding and identification.
[0364] PCR primers Ighg-1F and Ighg-1R can detect knockout genes, while primers Ighg-2R and Ighg-1F can detect wild-type genes. Figure 13 (The arrows). The primer sequences are shown in Table 12.
[0365] Table 12
[0366]
[0367] Genotyping of IghM-3G3 mice was performed by PCR. Figure 14 The Ighm genotype was identified using primers Ighm-F and Ighm-R: the wild-type Ighm gene amplified approximately 600 bp of the target product, while the knockout gene amplified approximately 300 bp of the target product. The Ighg genotype was identified using primers Ighg-1F, Ighg-1R, and Ighg-2R: the Ighg knockout gene amplified approximately 500 bp of the target product using primers Ighg-1F and Ighg-2R, but no band was amplified using primers Ighg-1F and Ighg-1R; the wild-type Ighg gene amplified no band using primers Ighg-1F and Ighg-2R, but approximately 460 bp of the target product was amplified using primers Ighg-1F and Ighg-1R. + / -: heterozygous; wt: wild-type; - / -: knockout homozygous.
[0368] (5) Breed heterozygous and homozygous gene knockout mice:
[0369] F0 generation mice with the target gene knocked out were crossed with wild-type mice to obtain F1 generation mice. Genome samples were extracted from the tails and analyzed by PCR to select gene-knockout positive F1 generation heterozygous mice that could stably inherit the gene knockout. These F1 generation heterozygous mice were then crossed with each other to obtain gene-knockout positive F2 generation homozygous mice, i.e., IghM-3G3 homozygous mice. Genotyping of the obtained F1 generation heterozygous or F2 generation homozygous mice was performed using the same method as in step 4.
[0370] Example 12: Immunoreactivity and titer detection of IghM-3G3 homozygous mouse antigens
[0371] IghM-3G3 homozygous mice were immunized with human C-reactive protein (CRP).
[0372] The immunization method is as follows: Select male mice aged 6-8 weeks. Add an equal volume of Freund's complete adjuvant (F5881, Sigma) to the human C-reactive protein antigen (CRP, A-5172, Baiqiao Ruijing) and emulsify until it is water-insoluble. This emulsification can be used for the initial subcutaneous injection of multiple doses in mice. The initial immunization dose is 100 μg / mouse. After the initial immunization, subsequent subcutaneous immunizations are performed every 2 weeks. The CRP antigen is emulsified with an equal volume of Freund's incomplete adjuvant (F5506, Sigma) and injected subcutaneously at multiple doses in mice. Each injection dose is 100 μg / mouse.
[0373] Serum titer testing;
[0374] Serum titer detection method as follows: CRP antigen diluted to 2 μg / mL, take 100 μL into polystyrene enzyme-linked detection plate package board, with HRP-goat anti-mouse IgG-Fc (Jackson, 115-035-071) detection of serum with CRP antigen specific binding specific IgG antibody.
[0375] As shown in Figure 15 , respectively, in non-immune, one week after the first immunization, three weeks after the blood, serum with PBS dilution, from 1:500 dilution ratio dilution, ELISA detection of serum titer showed that non-immune and one mouse in vivo did not appear specific antibodies binding antigen CRP, after three immunization, its serum titer is about 1:32000.
[0376] Example 13 IgG2c heavy chain antibody gene extraction
[0377] CRP antigen immunization IghM-3G3 pure type mouse and serum titer detection, the mice were euthanized and spleen cells, Trizol lysis, extraction of total RNA, and reverse transcription to obtain cDNA, using the following IgG2c subtype antibody specific primers by PCR amplification of heavy chain variable region and the heavy chain constant region connected to it.
[0378] MHV1, MHV2, MHV3, MHV4, MHV5, MHV6, MHV7, MHV8, MHV9, MHV10, MHV11, MHV12, B6_IgG2c_CH2R1 are all seen in example 5;
[0379] PCR reaction system, PCR reaction program as shown in example 5:
[0380] The resulting PCR amplification product is connected to pEASY-T5 Zero Cloning vector, TOP10 competent cells and coated LB plate, randomly picked 7 clones, colony PCR identification for positive and sequencing (as Figure 16 A shows that the 650 bp size band is a positive band).
[0381] The sequencing results of positive clones show (as Figure 16As shown in B, the FR4 region of the IgG2c antibody heavy chain variable region produced in the IghM-3G3 homozygous mouse is directly connected to the IgG2c Hinge region (antibody hinge region). Since the structure of the antibody heavy chain is VH-CH1-Hinge-CH2-CH3, and the VH region can be further divided into FR1-CDR1-FR2-CDR2-FR3-CDR3-FR4, the FR4 region of the IgG2c antibody heavy chain variable region produced in the IghM-3G3 homozygous mouse is directly connected to the Hinge region (antibody hinge region), indicating that the CH1 exon knockout of IgG2c is successful.
[0382] Example 14, Construction and panning of CRP antigen-specific IgG2c heavy chain antibody variable region phage display library
[0383] After the above Example 13, the steps of phage display library construction and antibody panning are exactly the same as in Example 6, only the parameters in Table 13 are adjusted, and the results after 5 times of panning are shown in Table 13 below:
[0384] Table 13: CRP screening data table
[0385]
[0386] A total of 5 times of panning were performed, and as shown in Table 13, the output phage was obviously enriched. Positive clones were selected by PHAGE-ELISA experiment for sequencing identification, as shown in Table 14.

[0389] Example 15, Antigen immune response and titer detection of IghM-3G3 homozygous mice
[0390] In this example, IghM-3G3 homozygous mice were immunized with coronavirus S protein antigen.
[0391] The immunization method is as follows: select 6-8 week old male mice, antigen coronavirus S protein (SARS-CoV-2 (2019-nCoV) Spike S1-His Recombinant Protein, 40591-V08H, Yiqiao Shenzhou), and equal volume of Freund's complete adjuvant (F5881, Sigma) are emulsified to a state of not dripping, which can be used for subcutaneous multiple point injection of mice for primary immunization. The injection dose for primary immunization is 100 μg per mouse, and after primary immunization, subsequent subcutaneous immunization is performed every 2 weeks, and the injection dose is 100 μg per mouse each time.
[0392] Serum titer detection
[0393] Serum titer detection method is as follows: coronavirus S protein antigen is diluted to 2 μg / mL, 100 μL is taken to coat the polystyrene enzyme-linked detection plate, and HRP-goat anti-mouse IgG-Fc (Jackson 115-035-071) is used to detect specific IgG antibodies in serum specifically combined with CRP antigen.
[0394] Blood was collected after non-immunization, two weeks after the second immunization, one week after the third immunization, and one week after the fourth immunization, and the serum was diluted with PBS. Starting from a dilution of 1:500, the serum titer was detected by ELISA, and the results are shown in Figure 17 Figure 17 It is shown that no specific antibodies that bind to the antigen coronavirus S protein appear in the body of non-immunized mice, and the serum titer after the second immunization is about 1:64,000.
[0395] Example 16, IgG2c heavy chain antibody gene retrieval
[0396] According to the above example 15, IghM-3G3 homozygous mice were immunized with coronavirus S protein antigen and detected by serum titer, then the mice were euthanized and their spleen cells were taken. The spleen cells were lysed by Trizol, total RNA was extracted, and cDNA was obtained by reverse transcription. Using the following IgG2c subtype antibody specific primers, the heavy chain variable region and the heavy chain constant region connected thereto were amplified by PCR.

[0422] Example 20. Detecting the difference of the transcriptional level of each immunoglobulin gene in two genotypes of mice by real-time PCR
[0423] Extract RNA from the spleen of MDG1 mice and wild type mice, and reverse transcribe into cDNA. Take 5 μL of 5-fold diluted cDNA for real-time PCR experiment. Select 4 individuals for each genotype, and perform 2 technical replicates for each gene of each individual.

[0434] Continuously increase the temperature to 95℃ at a rate of 0.11℃ / s
[0435] After the procedure, judge the reliability of the values according to the melting curve, and then calculate the relative expression level of the transcripts of each immunoglobulin gene by using 2 -ΔΔCt Method, perform statistical analysis by using two-tailed T test, and the statistical results are shown in Figure 24 , Figure 25 and Figure 26 From these results, it can be seen that the expression level of μ gene transcripts in the bone marrow, spleen and small intestine of MDG1 mice is lower than that of wild type mice, the expression level of γ2c gene transcripts is higher than that of wild type mice, and the expression level of γ2c gene transcripts in the three immune tissues of MDG1 mice is higher than that of μ gene transcripts in wild type mice, and there is no statistical difference in the expression level of α gene transcripts between the two genotypes of mice.
[0436] Example 21. Detecting the expression form of IgG2c in the serum of MDG1 mice by Western Blot
[0437] Western Blot detection was performed on the serum of 8-week-old wild-type mice and MDG1 mice with the same genetic background. The serum of wild-type mice was diluted 20 times with PBS, and the serum of MDG1 mice was diluted 100 times with PBS. 1 mM DTT was used to open the intramolecular disulfide bond under reducing conditions. Goat Anti-Mouse IgG2c heavy chain (HRP) antibody was diluted 10,000 times. The results of Western Blot detection are shown in Figure 27 Figure 27 It can be seen that the molecular weight of IgG2c in the serum of MDG1 mice is about 45 kDa under reducing conditions and about 95 kDa under non-reducing conditions, which is consistent with the molecular weight of CH1 domain and light chain deletion.
[0438] Example 22, ELISA detection of the expression level of each immunoglobulin in the serum of MDG1 mice
[0439] The serum of 8-week-old wild-type mice and MDG1 mice with the same genetic background was detected by double-antibody sandwich ELISA. IgM of wild-type mice was diluted 2,000 times, IgG2c was diluted 4,000 times, IgG was diluted 10,000 times, IgA was diluted 5,000 times, and IgE was diluted 20 times. The absorbance values of each sample well at 450 nm were read using a microplate reader, and the immunoglobulin content of each well was calculated using ELISA Calc according to the four-parameter fitting to obtain the standard curve. Two-tailed T test was used for statistical analysis.
[0440] The results are shown in Figure 28 Figure 28 It can be seen that MDG1 mice do not express IgM, and the expression level of IgG2c is significantly higher than that of wild-type mice, and the expression level of IgM is comparable to that of wild-type mice. Since there are other IgG subtypes in wild-type mice, the expression level of total IgG in their serum is significantly higher than that of MDG1 mice. The expression level of IgE in the serum of MDG1 mice is significantly lower than that of wild-type mice, and the expression level of IgA does not show statistical difference compared with wild-type mice.
[0441] Example 23, flow cytometry detection of the development of B cells in the bone marrow, spleen and peritoneal cavity of MDG1 mice
[0442] Bone marrow B cells:
[0443] Prepare 6 wild type mice and 6 MDG1 mice of 8 weeks old in the same genetic background, take their two femurs and tibias, flush the bone marrow cells into centrifuge tubes by FACS, resuspend the cells by ACK after short centrifugation, filter the cell suspension by 70 μm filter screen, discard the supernatant after centrifugation, resuspend the cells by 1 mL FACS, take 50 μL of the cells for staining, take 10 μL of the cells to dilute 40 times for counting, the staining scheme for bone marrow B cells is shown in Table 20.
[0444] Spleen B cells:
[0445] Prepare 4 wild type mice and 4 MDG1 mice of 8 weeks old in the same genetic background, place a 70 μm filter screen in a 60 mm dish, add 1 mL ACK, place their spleens on the filter screen and grind them gently, collect the cell suspension after grinding, discard the supernatant after short centrifugation, resuspend the cells by 1 mL FACS, take 50 μL of the cells for staining, take 10 μL of the cells to dilute 40 times for counting, the staining scheme for spleen B cells is shown in Table 20.
[0446] Peritoneal cavity B cells:
[0447] Prepare 7 wild type mice and 7 MDG1 mice of 8 weeks old in the same genetic background, fix their abdomen upwards on a foam board, cut the skin of the abdomen to expose the peritoneal membrane, inject 5 mL FACS into the peritoneal cavity by a syringe, collect the cell suspension into a centrifuge tube after blowing and sucking 2-3 times by a pipette, resuspend the cells by ACK after short centrifugation, filter the cell suspension by 70 μm filter screen, discard the supernatant after centrifugation, resuspend the cells by 200 μL FACS, take 100 μL of the cells for staining, the staining scheme for peritoneal cavity B cells is shown in Table 20.

[0450] The flow cytometry results of B cells in bone marrow are shown in Table 21, Figure 29 Figure 29 The results show that the proportion and number of B cells in the bone marrow of MDG1 mice have no statistical difference compared with wild type mice, the proportion of progenitor B cells and pre-B cells has no statistical difference compared with wild type mice, but the number is significantly reduced, IgM is highly expressed in mature B cells and lowly expressed in immature B cells, since MDG1 mice lack the μ gene expressing IgM, the development of immature B cells and mature B cells in vivo cannot be determined, but there are a large number of IgG2c+B cells in MDG1 mice, the proportion of this group of B cells in wild type mice is very low.
[0451] The flow cytometry results of B cells in spleen are shown in Table 22,Figure 30 As shown in Figure 30 The results show that the proportion of B cells in the spleen of MDG1 mice is significantly lower than that of wild-type mice, but there is no statistical difference in the number; the proportion and number of IgG2c+ B cells in the spleen of MDG1 mice are significantly higher than those of IgM+ B cells in wild-type mice, which may be caused by the class switch recombination of IgM to other immunoglobulin subtypes in wild-type mice; since the flow cytometry experiment this time selects mice in an unstimulated state, the proportion and number of plasma cells in the spleen of wild-type mice and MDG1 mice are both low, and there is no statistical difference; the proportion and number of follicular B cells, transitional B cells and marginal zone B cells in the spleen of MDG1 mice show no statistical difference compared with wild-type mice.
[0452] The flow cytometry results of B cells in the peritoneal cavity are shown in Figure 31 As shown in Figure 31 The results show that the proportion of B cells in the peritoneal cavity of MDG1 mice is significantly higher than that of wild-type mice, the proportion of IgM+ B1a cells is significantly reduced in MDG1 mice, and the proportion of B1b and B2 cells is significantly increased in MDG1 mice.
[0453] Example 24, immunizing wild-type mice and MDG1 mice with specific antigens
[0454] Prepare 6-7 wild-type mice and MDG1 mice of the same genetic background, each of 6-7 weeks old, and use chloramphenicol coupled with BSA and atrazine for immunization experiments, 100 μg / 100 μL per mouse per time. The first immunization uses Freund's complete adjuvant, 50 μL is injected subcutaneously on the back, and 50 μL is injected intraperitoneally. The booster immunization uses Freund's incomplete adjuvant, 100 μL is injected intraperitoneally, a total of 4 times. The internal canthus blood is collected 3 days before the first immunization and 3 days after each booster immunization.
[0455] Example 25, ELISA detection of the change trend of the relative expression amount of antigen-specific antibodies in the serum of mice after immunization
[0456] To avoid the interference of BSA-specific antibodies in serum to the detection results after immune stimulation, the OVA-coupled chloramphenicol and atrazine were used as the coating antigen in the ELISA experiment, the antigen coating amount was 200 ng / 100 μL / well, the serum dilution multiple was 4000 times in the detection of antigen-specific IgM, IgG2c, IgG and IgA, and the serum dilution multiple was 100 times in the detection of IgE, in order to ensure the consistency of each sample well, the reaction time was strictly controlled at 20 min after the addition of TMB color developing liquid, and then the absorbance value at 450 nm was read by the enzyme label instrument, the individuals without immune reaction were removed, and the change trend graph of the relative expression amount of antigen-specific antibodies was drawn.
[0457] The change of the relative expression amount of chloramphenicol and atrazine-specific antibodies is shown in Figure 32 and Figure 33 The results show that, from the overall immune response, the immune effect of chloramphenicol is better than that of atrazine. The change trend of antigen-specific IgG2c in MDG1 mice is similar to that of IgG2c in wild type mice, and is different from the continuous low level expression of IgM in wild type mice. Because there are other IgG subtypes in wild type mice, the content of antigen-specific total IgG in wild type mice is higher than that in MDG1 mice, in addition, the relative expression amount of antigen-specific IgA and IgE in MDG1 mice is slightly higher than that in wild type mice.
[0458] Example 26, Development Detection of Germinal Center B Cells and Plasma Cells in Spleen after Antigen Immunization
[0459] Take 6 wild type mice and 6 MDG1 mice after antigen immunization, place a 70 μm filter screen in a 60 mm dish, add 1 mL ACK, take the spleen and place it on the filter screen and grind it gently, collect the cell suspension after grinding, centrifuge briefly and discard the supernatant, add 1 mL FACS to resuspend the cells, take 20 μL of the cells for staining, take 10 μL of the cells and dilute them 80 times for counting, the staining scheme of spleen B cells after immunization is shown in Table 21.

[0462] The development of spleen B cells, germinal center B cells and plasma cells in mice after antigen immunization is shown in Figure 34 Figure 34 The results showed that the proportion of spleen B cells in MDG1 mice after immunization was significantly lower than that in wild-type mice, but there was no statistically significant difference in the number of cells. The proportion and number of germinal center B cells in MDG1 mice were significantly lower than those in wild-type mice, while the proportion of IgG2c+GC B cells was significantly higher than that in wild-type mice, but there was no statistically significant difference in the number of cells. There were no statistically significant differences in the proportion and number of plasma cells and IgG2c+ plasma cells between MDG1 mice and wild-type mice after antigen immunization.
