Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a monoclonal antibody DIVA55 against porcine fever virus, its preparation method and application in the field of medical preparations. BACKGROUND

[0002] Classical swine fever (CSF) is one of the major animal diseases of pigs caused by classical swine fever virus (CSFV) infection, with high morbidity and mortality. The disease seriously threatens the healthy development of the pig industry and is listed as one of the animal diseases that must be reported by the World Organization for Animal Health and as a class II infectious disease by China's animal health regulations. Therefore, the prevention and purification of CSF is the key to improving the core competitiveness of pig breeding enterprises. Currently, the marketed CSF rabbitized attenuated vaccine (C strain) and E2 protein subunit vaccine do not have a specific and sensitive serological differential diagnosis kit for distinguishing between vaccination and CSFV wild strain infection, which is a major obstacle to the realization of CSF purification. SUMMARY

[0003] The main problem to be solved by the present application is how to distinguish between E2 protein subunit vaccine vaccination and CSFV wild strain infection to achieve serological differential diagnosis and purification of CSFV.

[0004] To solve the above problems, the present application provides an antibody.

[0005] The antibody provided by the present application is a monoclonal antibody or an antigen binding fragment thereof, which comprises a heavy chain variable region and a light chain variable region; the amino acid sequences of LCDR1, LCDR2 and LCDR3 in the light chain variable region of the antibody are sequentially shown in SEQ ID No: 4 24-34, 50-56, 89-97, and the LCDR1, LCDR2 and LCDR3 are complementarity determining regions; the amino acid sequences of HCDR1, HCDR2 and HCDR3 in the heavy chain variable region of the antibody are sequentially shown in SEQ ID No: 5 31-35, 50-65, 95-102; and the HCDR1, HCDR2 and HCDR3 are complementarity determining regions.

[0006] In the present invention, "antigen-binding fragment" refers to an antigen-binding fragment of an antibody, which generally includes at least a part of the antigen-binding region or variable region (e.g., one or more CDRs) of a parental antibody. The antigen-binding fragment retains at least some of the binding specificity of the parental antibody. Generally, the antigen-binding fragment retains at least 10% of the binding activity of the parental antibody, when activity is expressed on a molar basis. Specifically, the antigen-binding fragment retains at least 20%, 50%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 95%, or 100% or more of the binding affinity of the parental antibody to the target.

[0007] The antigen-binding fragment can be a whole antibody, a fusion antibody, an antibody drug conjugate, a Fab fragment, a Fv fragment, a Fab' fragment, a F(ab')2 fragment, a single chain antibody (ScFv), or a minimum recognition unit (MRU) containing the nanobody.

[0008] In the present invention, "Fab fragment" is a heterodimer that consists of a heavy chain Fd and a complete light chain, which are bound by disulfide bonds, and contains only one antigen-binding site. The heavy chain Fd refers to about 1 / 2 of the H chain portion in Fab (about 225 amino acid residues, including VH, CH1, and part of the hinge region).

[0009] In the present invention, "Fv fragment" refers to a vector containing VH and VL genes, respectively, which are co-transfected into cells to be expressed separately, and then assembled into a functional Fv antibody; or a stop codon is provided between VH and VL in the vector, two small protein fragments are expressed separately, and then combined by non-covalent bonds to form an Fv antibody (Fv fragment).

[0010] In the present invention, "Fab' fragment" contains one light chain and a part of one heavy chain containing a VH domain and a CH1 domain, and a region between CH1 and CH2 domains, so that an interchain disulfide bond can be formed between the two heavy chains of two Fab' fragments to form a F(ab')2 molecule.

[0011] In the present invention, "F(ab')2 fragment" contains two light chains and two heavy chains containing a part of the constant region between CH1 and CH2 domains, so that an interchain disulfide bond is formed between the two heavy chains. Therefore, the F(ab')2 fragment is composed of two Fab' fragments held together by a disulfide bond between the two heavy chains.

[0012] In the present invention, "single chain antibody (ScFv)" refers to a polypeptide obtained by linking a light chain variable region and a heavy chain variable region. The polypeptide can spontaneously fold into a native conformation, retaining the specificity and affinity of Fv.

[0013] In the present application, the light chain variable region (VL) or the heavy chain variable region (VH) of the antibody is composed of "framework" regions separated by three "complementarity determining regions" or "CDRs". The framework regions serve to align the CDRs that specifically bind to the epitope of the antigen. The CDRs include the amino acid residues in the antibody that are primarily responsible for antigen binding. Both the VL domain and the VH domain comprise the following framework regions (FRs) and CDR regions from the amino terminus to the carboxyl terminus: FR1, CDR1, FR2, CDR2, FR3, CDR3, and FR4. The CDR1, CDR2, and CDR3 of the VL domain are also referred to herein as LCDR1, LCDR2, and LCDR3, respectively; and the CDR1, CDR2, and CDR3 of the VH domain are also referred to herein as HCDR1, HCDR2, and HCDR3, respectively.

[0015] The CDRs in the above antibody are sequences defined according to the Kabat numbering system.

[0016] Further, the amino acid sequence of the light chain variable region of the antibody is SEQ ID No: 4; and / or the amino acid sequence of the heavy chain variable region of the antibody is SEQ ID No: 5.

The heavy chain constant region can also be selected from the CH1, Fc, and CH3 domains. The light chain constant region can be selected from the kappa (κ) and lambda (λ) type light chain constant regions.

[0069] In the following examples, the pcDNA3.1 vector is purchased from Shengong Bioengineering (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., item number A339023.

[0070] In the following examples, the CSFV broad-spectrum antibody WH303 is described in the following literature: Mi Shijiang. Identification of monoclonal antibodies and broad-spectrum monoclonal antibodies for differentiating wild strains and vaccine strains of CSFV and epitope analysis [D]. Jilin University, 2022.

[0071] In the following examples, the protein tag antibody anti-His Tag mAb is purchased from Solabio, item number K200060M.

[0072] The CSFV SM strain, the porcine epidemic rabies vaccine (HCLV, also known as C strain), the vaccine strain LPC strain and the wild strain JL23 strain in the following examples have been described in Shijiang Mi, Lihua Wang, Hongwei Li, et al. Characterization of monoclonal antibodies that specifically differentiate field isolates from vaccine strains of classical swine fever virus. Frontiers in Immunology, 2022, 13, 930631. The biological material can be obtained from the applicant, which is only used for repeating the experiments of the present application and cannot be used for other purposes.

[0073] Example 1, preparation of recombinant porcine epidemic rabies virus E2 protein Based on the E2 genes of the domestic and foreign classical strains and wild strains (such as the vaccine C strain, the LPC strain and the wild strains SM strain and JL23 strain), the present application mutates the amino acids 193P, 195V, 197T, 200L and 203Q of the LPC E2 protein to 193V, 195K, 197V, 200P and 203K, and finally obtains a nucleic acid molecule (the nucleotide sequence is SEQ ID No: 2) encoding the recombinant E2 protein of the porcine epidemic rabies virus, which can express the recombinant E2 protein of the porcine epidemic rabies virus, and the amino acid sequence is shown as SEQ ID No: 1.

[0074] 1. Mutation of porcine epidemic rabies virus E2 gene and construction of eukaryotic expression vector Based on the amino acid sequence (SEQ ID No: 3) of the E2 protein of the classical swine fever virus (CSFV) vaccine strain LPC (CSFV-LPC), the amino acid mutations of 193P, 195V, 197T, 200L and 203Q of the LPC E2 protein (the genomic nucleotide sequence is SEQ ID No: 6) were changed to 193V, 195K, 197V, 200P and 203K, to obtain the nucleotide sequence SEQ ID No: 2. In addition to the enzyme digestion site, a Kozak sequence 5'-GCCACC-3' and an LPC E2 signal peptide sequence 5'-ATGTCAACCACGGCATTTCTCATCTGCTTGGTAAAAGTATTAAGAGGACAGATCGTGCAAGGTGTGATATGGCTGCTATTAGTAACTGGGGCACAAGGC-3' (SEQ ID No: 17) were added at the 5' end, and a His tag (the His tag nucleotide sequence is 5'-CATCATCACCATCACCAT-3', SEQ ID No: 18) and an enzyme digestion site were added at the 3' end Bam H I (sequence 5'-GGATCC-3'), to obtain the nucleotide sequence SEQ ID No: 7. After sequence synthesis, the result was confirmed by PCR amplification and agarose gel electrophoresis, as shown in Figure 1 .

[0075] The amplified target E2 (mutant) gene fragment was recovered by a gel recovery kit. After the correct target E2 gene fragment was identified, it was digested with enzymes, mixed with the pcDNA3.1 vector in a molar ratio of 3:1 with T4 ligase, and then placed in a metal bath at 16°C overnight for ligation. 2 μL of the ligation product was mixed with 50 μL of DH5α E. coli competent cells, transformed, and single colony culture was performed. Positive colonies were identified by bacterial liquid PCR, and were confirmed by sequencing to obtain the recombinant expression plasmid pcDNA3.1-E2 (mutant).

[0076] The structure of the pcDNA3.1-E2 (mutant) vector is described as follows: the DNA fragment of SEQ ID No: 7 is inserted between the two enzyme digestion sites of the eukaryotic expression vector pcDNA3.1 Eco R I and Bam H I, and the other sequences of the vector pcDNA3.1 remain unchanged to obtain the recombinant vector.

[0077] Based on the E2 protein genomic sequence (nucleotide sequence is SEQ ID No: 6) of the vaccine strain LPC (CSFV-LPC), the recombinant expression plasmid obtained by the same operation procedure is pcDNA3.1-E2, which is used as a control.

[0121] Example 3, Verification of the Immune Effect of the Marker Subunit Vaccine of the Classical Swine Fever Virus E2 Protein 1. Safety Test of the Marker Subunit Vaccine of the Classical Swine Fever Virus E2 Protein Ten healthy weaned piglets (5-6 weeks old) with negative nucleic acid and antibody of the classical swine fever virus were selected (Tiankang Animal Husbandry Technology Co., Ltd.), and five of them were injected with 30 μg of the marker subunit vaccine of the classical swine fever virus E2 protein (V1, V2, V3, V4, and V5) in the back of the ear and the neck muscle, and the other five were not injected as negative controls (C1, C2, C3, C4, and C5). The pigs were continuously observed for 14 days, and the rectal temperature was measured every day. The body temperature is shown in Table 1. The body temperature of the vaccine immunization group and the control group was not higher than 40℃, and no death occurred, and the mental state was normal, and so on.

[0122]

[0123] 2. Protection Efficacy Test of the Marker Subunit Vaccine of the Classical Swine Fever Virus E2 Protein Twenty-five healthy weaned piglets with negative nucleic acid and antibody of the classical swine fever virus were selected and treated as follows: The first group (5 pigs, 1-1, 1-2, 1-3, 1-4, and 1-5) was immunized with the marker subunit vaccine of the classical swine fever virus E2 protein, and was injected in the neck muscle twice, with each injection of the protein (30 μg) emulsified with an adjuvant. The second group (5 pigs, 2-1, 2-2, 2-3, 2-4, and 2-5) was immunized with the attenuated live vaccine of the classical swine fever virus (C strain, cell-derived passage), and was injected in the neck muscle once, with a dose of 1 head (1 mL). The third group (5 pigs, 3-1, 3-2, 3-3, 3-4, and 3-5) was immunized with the marker subunit vaccine of the classical swine fever virus E2 protein (TWJ-E2, purchased from Tiankang Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., product name: Tianwenjing), and was injected in the neck muscle twice, with each injection of the protein (30 μg) emulsified with an adjuvant. The fourth group (5 pigs, 4-1, 4-2, 4-3, 4-4, and 4-5) was a non-immune challenge group, and 1 mL of wild virus was injected into the neck muscle; The fifth group (5 pigs, 5-1, 5-2, 5-3, 5-4, and 5-5) was a healthy control group without immunization and challenge, and was raised in isolation under the same conditions.

[0124] The method for obtaining the vaccine serum of the second group and the third group is described in the following document: Gong W, Li J, Wang Z, et al. Commercial E2 subunit vaccine provides full protection to pigs against lethal challenge with 4 strains of classical swine fever virus genotype 2. Vet Microbiol. 2019; 237: 108403.

[0125] The E2 protein marker subunit vaccine (first group) prepared in Example 1 and the E2 protein subunit vaccine TWJ-E2 (third group) were immunized twice 21 days after the first immunization, and the immunized pigs were injected with 1 mL (containing 10 5 MLD) of the wild strain JL23 of the porcine pestivirus for challenge 14 days after the interval. The C strain (second group) was challenged 14 days after the first immunization. After the challenge, the rectal temperature and clinical manifestations were measured and observed every day for 24 days, and a clinical score was performed.

[0126] During the challenge, the experimental pigs that were close to death or died, and the experimental pigs that were still alive at the end of the experiment were dissected to observe the pathological conditions of the tonsils, larynx, lymph nodes, kidneys, spleen, and ileum.

[0127] The results are shown in Table 1. Figure 6 As shown in Table 1, the test pigs of the first, second, and third groups, i.e., the porcine pestivirus E2 protein marker subunit vaccine group, the porcine pestivirus lapinized attenuated vaccine (passage cell source) group, and the porcine pestivirus E2 subunit vaccine group, did not show clinical symptoms of porcine pestivirus, while all the pigs of the fourth group, i.e., the control group, were sick, mainly showing high fever, dyspnea, conjunctivitis, anorexia, listlessness, patchy hemorrhage on the lower limbs, and other symptoms, and all the sick pigs died within 14 to 22 days. In addition, the healthy control pigs (fifth group) without immunization and challenge did not show clinical symptoms. No hemorrhagic spots or other abnormalities were observed in the immunized and challenged pigs, while in the control group (fourth group) after the challenge, the tonsils, larynx, lymph nodes, and kidneys had hemorrhagic spots or patches, the spleen had marginal infarction, the ileocecal valve had button-shaped ulcers, the lymph nodes were enlarged, and the cross-section showed a marble-like appearance with red and white.

[0128] Virus copy number of each organization as follows Figure 7 As shown, the viral load in each tissue of the first, second, and third groups was significantly lower than that in the fourth group (non-immunized challenge group), and was basically the same as that in the healthy control group (non-immunized and non-challenged).

[0129] The E2 antibody test results for each group are as follows: The E2 antibody test results for Group 1 and Group 3, i.e., the experimental groups immunized with the classical swine fever virus E2 protein-labeled subunit vaccine and TWJ-E2 respectively, are as follows: Figure 8 As shown in Figure A, E2 antibody levels generally showed a continuous upward trend after immunization, with a slight decline during days 1-12 after challenge. The E2 antibody detection results for the second group, the experimental group immunized with the classical swine fever rabbit-attenuated live vaccine, are as follows: Figure 8 As shown in B, the E2 antibody levels remained consistently high, slightly lower than in groups one and three after challenge; while the E2 antibody test results in group four (non-immunized and challenged) and group five (non-immunized and non-challenged healthy control group) after challenge were as follows: Figure 8 As shown in C, it remains at a low level.

[0130] The above results demonstrate that the classical swine fever virus E2 protein-labeled subunit vaccine, classical swine fever rabbit-modified attenuated live vaccine strain C, and classical swine fever E2 subunit vaccine of the present invention provide comparable protection for pigs. Mutation of the E2 protein does not substantially alter its overall immunogenicity.

[0131] Example 4: Application of monoclonal antibody DIVA55 in immunization with classical swine fever virus E2 protein-labeled subunit vaccine and serological identification of wild-type strain infection. This embodiment utilizes the monoclonal antibody DIVA55 to establish a blocking ELISA method for distinguishing between classical swine fever virus E2 protein-labeled subunit vaccine immunization and wild-type strain infection. The specific operation method is as follows: (1) The CSFV LPC strain E2 protein (i.e., the CSFV-E2 protein in Example 1) was coated in the microplate at a concentration of 0.1 μg / mL. After coating, the coating solution was discarded and the plate was sealed in a vacuum.

[0132] (2) Add 50 μL of sample diluent to each well of the coated plate, and then add 50 μL of classical swine fever virus infection sample (numbered 1-5, serum obtained by challenge with classical swine fever virus wild strain AH1), labeled vaccine immunization sample (numbered 6-10, serum obtained by immunization with classical swine fever virus E2 protein labeled subunit vaccine), classical swine fever antibody negative control (classical swine fever antibody negative serum), classical swine fever antibody positive control (serum obtained by challenge with classical swine fever wild strain GD23), and set up duplicate wells for negative control and positive control. Incubate at 37ºC for 1 h.

[0133] The preparation method of the serum in the above positive samples 1-5 and the negative control and positive control serum of porcine fever antibodies in positive samples 6-10 is described in the following document: Gong W, Li J, Wang Z, et al. Commercial E2 subunit vaccine provides full protection to pigs against lethal challenge with 4 strains of classical swine fever virus genotype 2. Vet Microbiol. 2019; 237: 108403.

[0134] (3) After discarding the liquid in each well, wash the plate wells with 300 μL of washing solution for a total of 5 times, and after the last washing, pat dry the washing solution in the wells.

[0135] (4) Add 100 μL of 1:5000 diluted HRP-DIVA55 conjugated antibody to each well of the plate, and incubate at 37°C for 1 h.

[0136] (5) Repeat step (3).

[0137] (6) Add 50 μL of TMB color developing solution to each well, and incubate at room temperature in the dark for 10 min.

[0138] (7) Add 50 μL of stop solution to each well to stop the reaction, and measure the OD value with a microplate reader 450 , calculate the blocking rate, and the calculation formula is (negative serum OD 450 - sample OD 450 ) / negative serum OD 450 × 100%.

[0139] The results are shown in Table 2: for the serum infected with wild strains, the blocking rate is 95.12%, and for the serum immunized with vaccines, the blocking rate is 3.25%, indicating that the blocking ELISA method based on monoclonal antibody DIVA55 can clearly distinguish between porcine fever E2 marker vaccine strains and wild strain infections, and monoclonal antibody DIVA55 can be used for the serological differential diagnosis of porcine fever, and the development and preparation of a blocking ELISA kit.
