Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a nanobody specifically recognizing Staphylococcus aureus and its application, belonging to the field of nanobodies. The present invention is a divisional application of the invention titled "A Nanobody Specifically Recognizing Staphylococcus aureus, Its Preparation Method and Application", with the application number 2025102876827 and the application date March 12, 2025. Background Art
[0002] Staphylococcus aureus belongs to the genus Staphylococcus and is a Gram-positive coccus. Its pathogenicity is related to multiple virulence factors it secretes, including adhesins, invasins, and immune evasion proteins. For example, staphylococcal protein A (SpA) expressed on the surface of Staphylococcus aureus can bind to host IgG (immunoglobulin G), interfering with the host immune system, and coagulation factor A (ClfA) can bind to fibrinogen, promoting bacterial adhesion and immune escape. Currently, monoclonal antibodies against Staphylococcus aureus mainly target its surface proteins, such as SpA and ClfA, etc. However, due to the non-specific binding characteristics of staphylococcal protein A and the disadvantages of traditional antibodies, such as long preparation cycle, poor stability, and high cost, their application in rapid detection is limited.
[0003] At present, the detection methods of Staphylococcus aureus mainly include bacterial culture, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and immunoassay. Although bacterial culture is the gold standard method, it is time-consuming and requires professional laboratory equipment and personnel, which greatly limits the screening efficiency of Staphylococcus aureus. Although the PCR technique is highly sensitive, its operation is cumbersome and also requires professional equipment and personnel, making it unsuitable for rapid on-site detection. For example, the patent "Primer set for Staphylococcus aureus and kit for detecting or identifying Staphylococcus aureus" (Application No.: 202411109634.0) discloses a method for detecting Staphylococcus aureus by duplex fluorescence quantitative PCR. Although this method attempts to improve the specificity and sensitivity of detection, problems such as the inherent operational complexity of the PCR technique itself and the relatively long detection time still cannot be avoided, restricting its application in rapid on-site detection. Traditional immunoassays, such as ELISA, although having good specificity, have complex operation steps and a relatively long detection time. The traditional test strip detection method is simple and rapid, but its sensitivity is limited and the detection limit is relatively high, making it difficult to meet the requirements of rapid on-site screening. Some emerging detection methods, such as the patent "SERS detection kit and detection method for Staphylococcus aureus" (Application No.: 202410970199.4) disclose a method for detecting Staphylococcus aureus based on surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). Although it can achieve extremely high detection sensitivity and accuracy, its high instrument and consumable costs limit its popularization in practical applications. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a more rapid, sensitive and cost-controllable means for detecting Staphylococcus aureus. Summary of the Invention
[0004] Object of the Invention: The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a nanobody with high sensitivity and strong specificity that can specifically recognize Staphylococcus aureus and its application, which is applied to the rapid and in-situ detection of Staphylococcus aureus.
[0005] Technical Solution: To solve the above technical problem, the present invention provides a nanobody (VHH antibody), and the amino acid sequence of the nanobody is shown as any one of SEQ ID NO: 1 to 6.
[0006] Among them, in the amino acid sequences shown as SEQ ID NO: 1 (Nb26), SEQ ID NO: 2 (Nb33), SEQ ID NO: 3 (Nb42), SEQ ID NO: 4 (Nb57), SEQ ID NO: 5 (Nb63), SEQ ID NO: 6 (Nb84), through pairing experiments, it is found that Nb26 and Nb42 nanobodies have the best pairing effect and can form paired antibodies for use in sandwich lateral flow chromatography test strips.
[0007] The present invention also provides a gene encoding the nanobody.
[0008] Among them, the nucleotide sequence of the gene is shown as any one of SEQ ID NO: 7-12.
[0009] Among them, the sequence shown as SEQ ID NO: 7 is the nucleotide sequence of the Nb26 nanobody, the sequence shown as SEQ ID NO: 8 is the nucleotide sequence of the Nb33 nanobody, the sequence shown as SEQ ID NO: 9 is the nucleotide sequence of the Nb42 nanobody, the sequence shown as SEQ ID NO: 10 is the nucleotide sequence of the Nb57 nanobody, the sequence shown as SEQ ID NO: 11 is the nucleotide sequence of the Nb63 nanobody, and the sequence shown as SEQ ID NO: 12 is the nucleotide sequence of the Nb84 nanobody.
[0010] The present invention also provides a method for preparing the nanobody, comprising the following steps: (1) Extract alpaca lymphocytes, splice and recombine the specific gene fragment into a phagemid and transfer it into Escherichia coli to construct a nanobody phage library; (2) Use heat-inactivated Staphylococcus aureus as the coating protein to screen for nanobodies against Staphylococcus aureus.
[0011] Among them, the method for constructing the nanobody phage display library comprises the following steps: (1) Amplify the fragment encoding the nanobody gene from alpaca lymphocytes and introduce Sfi I restriction enzyme sites at both ends of the nanobody; (2) Digest and recombine with the phagemid pComb3XSS, and ligate with T4 ligase to construct a phage display library.
[0012] Specifically, the present invention also provides a method for preparing the nanobody specifically recognizing Staphylococcus aureus as described above, and this method comprises the following steps: 1: In vitro transcription and translation: Clone the nanobody phage library into a ribosome display vector. Then, use an in vitro transcription and translation system to transcribe the ribosome display vector into mRNA and translate it into a nanobody-ribosome-mRNA complex to form a ribosome display library; 2: Affinity screening: Inactivate Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923) and coat it on a solid-phase carrier (in this experiment, an ELISA plate was used). Subsequently, add the ribosome display library obtained by in vitro transcription and translation into the system containing immobilized Staphylococcus aureus, and incubate at an appropriate temperature and time. During this period, the nanobodies displayed on the ribosomes will interact with Staphylococcus aureus. The nanobody-ribosome-mRNA complexes that specifically bind to the target will be captured, while the unbound complexes will remain in the solution. Remove the unbound nanobody-ribosome-mRNA complexes to reduce background noise and improve the specificity of the screening. Finally, use a specific elution method to elute the nanobody-ribosome-mRNA complexes bound to Staphylococcus aureus from the solid-phase carrier. (In this invention, acidic elution is used: elute with a buffer of low pH, 0.1 M glycine-HCl (pH 2.2). Immediately neutralize with a neutral buffer after elution to protect the integrity of mRNA).
[0013] 3: Recovery and amplification of VHH gene: Extract mRNA from the ribosome-mRNA complexes bound to Staphylococcus aureus. Using the extracted mRNA as a template for reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR), amplify the VHH gene fragment with primers matching the ribosome display vector. Finally, perform multiple rounds of screening to obtain specific nanobodies with high affinity. Extract mRNA from the eluate for subsequent RT-PCR amplification.
[0014] 4: Cloning, expression, and purification: Clone the amplified VHH gene fragment into a suitable expression vector, transform an expression system such as Escherichia coli for expression, and purify the soluble nanobody using affinity chromatography.
[0015] 5: Identification of binding activity and specificity: Use the ELISA method to identify the binding activity of the purified nanobody to Staphylococcus aureus. At the same time, perform cross-reaction experiments with other bacteria (such as Escherichia coli, Salmonella, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, etc.) to verify the specificity of the nanobody.
[0016] The present invention also provides the use of the nanobody or the gene in the preparation of a Staphylococcus aureus nanobody AIE fluorescence probe.
[0017] The present invention also provides a Staphylococcus aureus nanobody AIE fluorescence probe, comprising the nanobody or the gene.
[0018] The present invention also provides the use of the nanobody or the gene in the preparation of a detection reagent or kit for specifically recognizing Staphylococcus aureus.
[0019] The present invention also provides a detection reagent or test strip, comprising the nanobody or the gene.
[0020] The test strip proposed by the present invention can be applied to biological samples such as plasma and urine, food samples such as milk and meat products, and environmental samples such as wastewater and aerosol. When Staphylococcus aureus is present, the test line (T line) and the quality control line (C line) on the test strip show red fluorescence. When Staphylococcus aureus is absent, the quality control line shows red fluorescence while the test line does not develop color.
[0021] The present invention also provides the application of the nanobody or the gene in constructing an immunoassay platform for Staphylococcus aureus.
[0022] The present invention also provides a method for detecting Staphylococcus aureus in biological samples based on a POCT test strip, comprising the following steps: (1) Paste the NC membrane, absorbent pad, conjugate pad, and sample pad on the PVC bottom plate and assemble according to the specifications of the test strip; draw the Super monoclonal antibody on the NC membrane as the quality control line (C line), and draw the anti-Staphylococcus aureus nanobody Nb26 on the NC membrane as the test line (T line), and dry for 1-2 h.
[0023] (2) Cut into test strips according to the specifications of the test strip with a test strip cutter, add AIE fluorescent microspheres labeled with anti-Staphylococcus aureus nanobody Nb42 to the conjugate pad, and dry at 37 °C for 1-2 h; use a pipette to add it to the sample pad of the prepared test strip, and after chromatography for 5-10 min, observe the luminescence of the T and C lines of the test strip under an ultraviolet lamp to evaluate the sensitivity of this method for detecting Staphylococcus aureus in biological samples.
[0024] Nanobody (VHH) is the variable region of a heavy chain antibody isolated from camelids, with a molecular weight of about 15 kDa, only 1 / 10 of that of traditional antibodies. Compared with traditional antibodies, nanobodies have many advantages: higher affinity and specificity, capable of recognizing hidden epitopes (such as region A of ClfA) that are difficult for traditional antibodies to recognize; excellent stability, still maintaining activity even under high temperature or extreme pH conditions; easy to be prepared and modified in large quantities by genetic engineering techniques; good tissue penetration, and lower production costs, etc. Combining nanobodies with lateral flow chromatography can develop rapid diagnostic test strips with higher sensitivity, stronger specificity, better stability, and lower cost, overcome the limitations of traditional methods, and achieve rapid, convenient, and in-situ detection of Staphylococcus aureus, having broad application prospects in the fields of food safety, clinical diagnosis, etc.
[0025] The present invention also provides an application of the above-mentioned nanobody pair specifically recognizing Staphylococcus aureus. The ribosome-displayed nanobody pair of the present invention can specifically bind to Staphylococcus aureus. Combining this pair of nanobodies with the lateral flow chromatography method can achieve in-situ and rapid detection of Staphylococcus aureus. The method includes the following steps: (1) Place the NC membrane in a vacuum drying oven and dry it for later use. Paste the NC membrane, absorbent pad, conjugate pad, and sample pad on the PVC bottom plate. The sample pad is on the conjugate pad, the conjugate pad is on the NC membrane, and the absorbent pad is about 2 - 4 mm on the NC membrane. Draw the SuperC monoclonal antibody on the NC membrane as the control line (C line), and draw the anti-Staphylococcus aureus nanobody Nb26 on the NC membrane as the test line (T line), and dry it in the vacuum drying oven for 1 - 2 h; (2) Cut into test strips according to the specifications of the test strip. Drop the fluorescent microspheres labeled with the anti-Staphylococcus aureus nanobody Nb42 on the conjugate pad, dry at 37 °C for 2 h. Add a certain volume of Tween-20 to the sample to be detected, and use a pipette to drop it on the sample pad of the prepared test strip. After chromatography for 10 min, observe the luminescence of the T and C lines of the test strip under ultraviolet light at 365 nm to evaluate the concentration of Staphylococcus aureus in the sample detected by this method.
[0026] Beneficial effects: Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following remarkable advantages: 1. Compared with traditional monoclonal antibodies, the ribosome-displayed nanobodies of the present invention have the advantages of small size, high stability, simple preparation, low cost, and large-scale production; 2. The immunochromatography method provided by the present invention has a fast detection speed, strong specificity, and high sensitivity, and can achieve multi-scene, instant, and in-situ detection of Staphylococcus aureus; 3. Traditional monoclonal antibodies are affected by the binding of the Fc end to Staphylococcus aureus protein A (SPA), making it difficult to directly detect Staphylococcus aureus. It can only indirectly detect the toxic substances secreted by bacteria, and it is difficult to accurately evaluate the infection situation of patients and the pollution situation of water sources and foods. The present invention can achieve direct detection of Staphylococcus aureus; 4. The cell-free system of the nanobody library of the present invention can overcome the deficiencies such as biosafety and toxic proteins, and has advantages in expressing recombinant proteins or antibodies; therefore, developing a cell-free system-based nanobody library is of great value for efficient screening of nanobodies; 5. A pair of Staphylococcus aureus nanobody pairs with particularly good pairing effects was screened out this time, effectively improving the detection effect. Description of the Drawings
