Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of bioengineering technology, specifically relating to a DNA-based Claudin18.2 genetically engineered antibody, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Single-cell photodynamic technology enables the in vitro cloning and expression of antibody genes on individual antigen-specific B cells, preserving the natural pairing of light and heavy chain variable regions. It offers advantages such as simplicity, speed, low cell requirement, and high efficiency. The single-B cell platform, combined with microfluidics and various sorting techniques, directly isolates, analyzes, and screens B cells at the single-cell level, accurately and efficiently identifying B cells that secrete target antibody molecules. Combined with single-cell sequencing technology, the target antibody sequence can then be obtained. This technology, by directly amplifying the VH and VL encoding genes of single B cells, is a powerful technique for preparing monoclonal antibodies from humans and immunized animals.
[0003] DNA immunization is a technique that uses recombinant DNA molecules to trigger an immune response. It involves introducing a specific gene fragment (usually an antigen gene of a pathogen) into host cells, thereby inducing a specific immune response in the host. This technique involves cloning the target gene into an appropriate expression vector, typically plasmid DNA, and then introducing it into host cells (such as mice or other animals). Once inside the host cells, the introduced DNA expresses the antigen protein, activating the immune system to produce a specific immune response to that antigen, including antibody and T-cell responses. Compared to traditional vaccines, DNA immunization offers advantages such as simplicity of production, lower cost, and longer-lasting immune effects, and is therefore widely used in vaccine development, disease prevention, and antibody production.
[0004] Claudins are a family of proteins responsible for maintaining tight junctions between cells and controlling molecular flow between cells by establishing barriers. Claudins are expressed in different isoforms in different tissues, and their aberrant expression is associated with tumor development and progression. In particular, Claudin18.2 is an important therapeutic target for gastrointestinal malignancies and has been investigated. Although research targeting Claudin18.2 is increasing, there are no reports of obtaining highly specific and sensitive Claudin18.2 monoclonal antibodies using gene DNA immunotherapy. Summary of the Invention

This Claudin18.2 genetically engineered antibody is prepared by first generating a full-length Claudin18.2 (pVAX1-CLDN18.2) DNA plasmid and an extracellular polypeptide of Claudin18.2 (CLDN18.2). Then, Balb / c mice are immunized with the full-length plasmid DNA and the full-length plasmid DNA plus the extracellular polypeptide, respectively, to induce the proliferation and differentiation of B cells into plasma cells. These plasma cells secrete specific antibodies against Claudin18.2. Specific mouse-derived genetically engineered antibodies are then prepared using single-cell photoconductive technology and genetic engineering techniques. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) verifies that the genetically engineered antibody has a high titer. Immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence experiments verify that the genetically engineered antibody has the specific recognition ability of the natural protein Claudin18.2, laying the foundation for further development of highly specific and highly sensitive Claudin18.2 pathological diagnostic antibodies.

[0031] ② The amplification products were recovered using the Tiangen agarose recovery kit.
[0032] First, add 500 μL of BL equilibration buffer to the CA2 adsorption column, centrifuge for 2 min at 12000 rpm, and discard the lower layer. Add Claudin18.2 (CLDN18.2) amplification product to the CA2 adsorption column, incubate at room temperature for 2 min, centrifuge for 2 min at 12000 rpm, and discard the lower layer. Add 600 μL of PW wash buffer containing anhydrous ethanol to the CA2 column, centrifuge for 2 min at 12000 rpm, discard the lower layer, and repeat this step once. Centrifuge the empty CA2 column again at 12000 rpm for 2 min. Place the CA2 column in a fume hood for 5 min to dry completely, then transfer it to a clean 1.5 mL centrifuge tube. Finally, add 50 μL of ddH2O to the center of the CA2 adsorption membrane, incubate at room temperature for 2 min, then centrifuge for 2 min at 12000 rpm to collect the DNA solution.
[0033] (3) pVAX1 vector digestion and recovery ① pVAX1 vector digestion: Add 2 µg of pVAX1 plasmid to a 1.5 mL centrifuge tube, along with 1 μL each of restriction endonucleases EcoRI and XhoI, and 5 μL of digestion buffer NEBuffer™r3.1. Finally, bring the digestion system to 50 μL with ddH2O. After thorough mixing, place the tube in a 37°C water bath and digest for 3 h to linearize the pVAX1 vector.
[0034] ② Linearized vector recovery: The linearized vector was recovered using the Tiangen agarose recovery kit. First, 500 μL of BL equilibration buffer was added to the CA2 adsorption column, centrifuged for 2 min at 12000 rpm, and the lower layer was discarded. Then, Claudin18.2 (CLDN18.2) amplification product was added to the CA2 column, incubated at room temperature for 2 min, centrifuged for 2 min at 12000 rpm, and the lower layer was discarded. Next, 600 μL of PW wash buffer containing anhydrous ethanol was added to the CA2 column, centrifuged for 2 min at 12000 rpm, and the lower layer was discarded. This step was repeated once. The empty CA2 column was centrifuged again at 12000 rpm for 2 min.

Finally, 50 μL of ddH2O was added to the center of the CA2 adsorption membrane, and the mixture was left at room temperature for 2 min. Then, it was centrifuged for 2 min at 12000 rpm to collect the DNA solution.
[0035] (4) Construction of pVAX1-CLDN18.2 plasmid ① The full-length target gene fragment of Claudin18.2 (CLDN18.2) was recombinated with the linearized pVAX1 vector. The amounts of the target fragment and linearized vector were calculated according to the formulas: Cloning vector usage = [0.02 × number of base pairs of cloning vector] ng, insert fragment usage = [0.04 × number of base pairs of insert fragment] ng, and added to the PCR tube. Then, 1 μL of Exnase II and 2 μL of 5×CE II Buffer were added to the PCR tube, and the recombination system was brought to a final volume of 10 μL with pure water. After thorough mixing, the PCR system was placed in a PCR instrument and the reaction conditions were set to 37℃ for 30 min.
[0036] ② Recombinant transformation: Add 5 μL of recombinant product to 50 μL of competent DH5α cells, gently mix, and let stand on ice for 30 min. Heat shock in a 42℃ water bath for 90 s, and then immediately place on ice for 4 min. Add 700 μL of antibiotic-free LB liquid medium and incubate at 37℃ and 220 rpm for 1 h.

[0038] ② Plasmid extraction: Add 100 μL of bacterial culture from a clone with the correct colony PCR band to 5 mL of LB medium containing kanamycin resistance and incubate overnight in a shaker at 37°C. After the E. coli reaches the logarithmic growth phase, extract the plasmid using a plasmid miniprep kit. Add 500 μL of BL equilibration buffer to adsorption column CP3, centrifuge at 12000 rpm for 2 min, and discard the lower layer. Centrifuge the E. coli culture at 12000 rpm for 2 min. Add 250 μL of P1 solution containing RNase A to the bacterial cells and mix thoroughly by pipetting.

Aspirate the supernatant and transfer it to a clean centrifuge tube. Add the supernatant to adsorption column CP3 and centrifuge at 12000 rpm for 1 min, discarding the waste liquid in the centrifuge tube. Add 600 μL of PW wash buffer containing anhydrous ethanol to CP3 and centrifuge at 12000 rpm for 1 min. After 2 min, discard the liquid in the tube and repeat the step once; centrifuge the CP3 with the discarded waste liquid again at 12000 rpm for 2 min; place the CP3 in a fume hood for 5 min to dry completely, and then place it in a clean 1.5 mL centrifuge tube; add 50 μL of ddH2O to the center of the CP3 adsorption membrane, place it at room temperature for 2 min, and then centrifuge at 12000 rpm for 2 min to collect the plasmid solution.

Mix well and incubate at 37°C for 10 min. Add the ligation product to 50 μL of T1 competent cells, gently pat to mix, and incubate on ice for 30 min. Then heat shock in a 42°C water bath for 90 s and immediately place on ice for 2 min. Add 250 μL of antibiotic-free LB medium to the tube and incubate at 37°C for 1 h at 200 rpm. Take 8 μL of 500 mmol·L⁻¹ -1 IPTG and 40 μL 20 mg·mL -1Mix X-gal and spread evenly on ampicillin-resistant LB agar plates. Incubate at 37°C for 30 minutes to allow IPTG and X-gal to be absorbed. Centrifuge the culture at 5000 rpm for 5 min and discard 200 μL of the supernatant. Resuspend the cells in the remaining medium and spread evenly on plates. Incubate overnight at 37°C.
[0075] ② Pick a single white colony and incubate it in ampicillin-resistant LB medium at 37°C in a shaker. Once the bacterial culture becomes noticeably turbid, add 1 μL of the culture as a template to a PCR tube. Add 5 μL of 2×Taq Master Mix, 3 μL of purified water, and 0.5 μL of primers to the tube. Mix well and perform colony PCR, using the program settings shown in Table 11. For the heavy chain, use an upstream degenerate primer and a specific downstream primer; for the light chain, use a specific upstream primer and a downstream degenerate primer. After the reaction, perform agarose gel electrophoresis on the products. Figure 5 As shown. 300 μL of bacterial culture from clones with correct PCR bands was sequenced (antibody light and heavy chain variable region sequences were determined by Shanghai Sangon Biotech).

[0077] (7) Construction of mouse anti-human Claudin18.2 full-length antibody vector By constructing the variable region genes of the antibody's light and heavy chains into vectors pFUSEss-CHIg-mG2b and pFUSE2ss-CLIg-mk containing the constant regions of the antibody's light and heavy chains, respectively, a vector for constructing the full-length mouse anti-human Claudin18.2 antibody was achieved.
[0078] First, plasmids pFUSEss-CHIg-mG2b and pFUSE2ss-CLIg-mk were linearized by double enzyme digestion to facilitate subsequent recombination with the variable region genes of the antibody light and heavy chains. Gel electrophoresis results showed that the bands of plasmids pFUSEss-CHIg-mG2b and pFUSE2ss-CLIg-mk after enzyme digestion were between 3000 bp and 5000 bp, consistent with the fragment size of the linearized vector.
[0079] Then, the variable region gene of the heavy chain was constructed into pFUSEss-CHIg-mG2b and the variable region gene of the light chain was constructed into pFUSE2ss-CHIg-mk using homologous recombination. After overnight incubation, several white single colonies grew on culture dishes containing the corresponding antibiotics. Single colonies were picked for expansion culture and colony PCR was used to confirm the success of the construction. Gel electrophoresis results are as follows: Figure 6 As shown, the results indicate that the full-length vectors of the heavy and light chains were successfully constructed. Sequencing results were analyzed using Snapgene, BioXM.2.7.1 software, and the NCBI-BLAST website (https: / / blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov / Blast.cgi), and the sequences showed 100% overlap with the original base sequences.
[0080] The PCR amplification primers were designed based on the upstream and downstream restriction sites of the vector, as shown in Table 12. Then, the heavy and light chain variable region genes that were confirmed to be correct and functional were used as templates by sequencing.
