Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of biomedical technology, specifically relating to a bispecific antibody targeting EB virus and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Epstein Barr virus (EB virus), also known as human herpesvirus 4, is a DNA oncogenic virus isolated and strained from Burkitt lymphoma cells by Epstein and Barr in 1964. It belongs to the genus Lymphovirus of the subfamily Gammaherpesvirinae and is a DNA oncogenic virus. The viral particle consists of a core protein, capsid, capsid, and envelope. It primarily infects oropharyngeal epithelial cells and B lymphocytes, mainly existing as a latent infection. More than 90% of adults carry the virus throughout their lives.

[0003] Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) initially replicates in the oropharynx, multiplying within B lymphocytes and oral epithelial cells before entering the bloodstream and causing systemic infection. It then remains latent in lymphoid tissues for extended periods. When the body's immune function is weakened, the latent virus is activated, potentially inducing various diseases. Primary infection can lead to infectious mononucleosis, manifesting as fever, pharyngitis, and lymphadenopathy. Persistent or reactivated infection may cause chronic active EBV infection or post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder, and may even progress to hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis syndrome or malignant lymphoma. EBV is also closely associated with malignant tumors such as nasopharyngeal carcinoma, Hodgkin / non-Hodgkin lymphoma, Burkitt lymphoma, and gastric cancer. Currently, there are no effective vaccines or specific treatments for EBV infection. Infectious mononucleosis is often treated with antiviral drugs such as acyclovir to relieve symptoms, but these cannot completely eliminate the virus from cells. Related tumors primarily rely on chemotherapy and radiotherapy, with limited efficacy for metastatic or recurrent cases.

[0004] In recent years, researchers have made significant progress in understanding the interaction between Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and host cells, as well as its infection pathways. gp350, the most abundant envelope glycoprotein of EBV, is the most abundant protein on the viral surface. It primarily initiates the infection process on B lymphocytes by binding to host cell surface receptors (such as CD21 / CR2). Due to its crucial role in viral invasion, gp350 has become an ideal target for vaccine development and antibody therapy. Gp350 antibodies can specifically recognize and bind to gp350, effectively blocking the binding of EBV to B lymphocytes, thereby preventing viral infection and transmission. EBV surface glycoproteins gH / gL form a high-affinity complex with gp42. gp42 mediates viral transmembrane fusion into B cells by binding to host HLA class II receptors, while entry into epithelial cells is initiated by the direct interaction of gH / gL with integrin receptors or EphA2 receptors. Furthermore, the structural analysis of glycoproteins such as gp350, gH / gL, and gp42, and the application of their monoclonal antibodies, provide a theoretical basis for preventing primary infection and controlling latent viral reactivation.

[0005] Bispecific antibodies, with their unique dual-target synergistic effect, have demonstrated significant advantages in the treatment of infectious diseases and cancer. In infectious diseases, bispecific antibodies can simultaneously and efficiently neutralize multiple key target proteins, effectively overcoming the limitations of single-target neutralization and improving neutralization efficiency. In cancer treatment, bispecific antibodies, through dual blockade, not only significantly enhance therapeutic efficacy but also reduce off-target toxicity. Furthermore, their safety and treatment sustainability have been further optimized through engineered design. Therefore, the development of bispecific antibodies targeting EBV gp350 and gH / gL / gp42 trimers holds promise for providing a more effective new approach to the prevention and treatment of EBV-related diseases.

[0094] 3. Coomassie brilliant blue staining to identify the expression of light and heavy chains of 9G01. The specific operating steps are as follows: After preparing a 10% separating gel, mix well and quickly add 7 mL to the gel mold, then add 2 mL of anhydrous ethanol for sealing. After the lower layer of separating gel solidifies, discard the anhydrous ethanol and allow it to evaporate. Prepare a stacking gel, add 2 mL to the top layer of the separating gel, and quickly insert the comb. Perform protein quantification using the BCA protein quantification kit. Add 10 μg of 4C1 protein sample to 5×SDS loading buffer and incubate at 95°C for 10 min. After the gel dries, place the mold in the electrophoresis tank, add electrophoresis buffer, and remove the comb. Add the processed protein sample to the sample wells and add the marker. First, concentrate the protein using 80 V low voltage, then change the voltage to 120 V for protein separation. The electrophoresis time is determined based on the marker position. Place the gel in Coomassie Brilliant Blue staining solution (Novizan) and shake on a shaker until bands appear. Discard the developing solution, add double-distilled water, and wash the gel on a shaker several times until the gel background is clean.

[0113] 2. Light chain sequence of 9G03 antibody The light chain sequence of antibody 9G03 is the same as that of antibody 9G01.

[0114] 3. Coomassie brilliant blue staining to identify the expression of light and heavy chains of 9G03. The method is the same as in Example 1.

[0115] The results are as follows Figure 3 As shown, the 76 kDa band is a heavy chain, and the 23 kDa band is a light chain.

[0116] Example 1: Effect Test of 9G01 1. Determining the affinity of 9G01 using biomembrane interferometry (BLI): BLI can be performed according to conventional methods in the art. In this embodiment, the specific operation is as follows: the biosensor (Sartorius SA probe from Germany) is immersed in a buffer solution (a mixture of KB buffer and 0.02% Tween 20) for equilibration. Then it is removed and immersed in a solution containing 10 μg / mL gH / gL / gp42 complex. A solution of Biotin (i.e., biotin-labeled gH / gL / gp42 complex protein) and a solution containing 10 μg / mL gp350-biotin (i.e., biotin-labeled gp350 protein) were used. The gH / gL / gp42 complex protein and gp350 protein in the solution bound to the surface of the SA (streptavidin) bioprobe, increasing the thickness of its surface membrane. Then, a biosensor with a known concentration of cured antigen was immersed in buffer as a baseline. The biosensor with the cured known concentration of antigen was immersed in a sample solution containing 15.6 nM–500 nM 9G01 antibody for approximately 60–120 seconds. Due to the antigen… The specific binding between antibodies leads to an increase in membrane thickness. Immersing the biosensor bound to the 9G01 antibody in buffer for approximately 180 seconds causes dissociation, resulting in the detachment of the test antibody (9G01 antibody) from the biosensor surface and a reduction in membrane thickness. By monitoring the biosensor membrane thickness in real time during the experiment, the kinetic constants of the test sample (9G01 antibody) can be obtained.

[0117] The results are as follows Figure 4 As shown: the dissociation equilibrium constants between the 9G01 antibody and the two glycoproteins are 7.715E. The values ​​of 11 and 4.977E-9 indicate that the 9G01 antibody has extremely high affinity for both the gH / gL / gp42 complex antigen and the gp350 protein.

[0118] 2. Neutralizing activity of 9G01 antibody EBV preparation: EBV was infected by culturing in RPMI 1640 + 10% FBS at 37°C (5% CO2). GFP in CNE2 cells (the virus has been documented in the literature: An Antibody Targeting the Fusion Machinery Neutralizes Dual) Tropic Infection and Defines a Site of Vulnerability onEpstein (Disclosed in Barr Virus) When the cells reached 90% density (10 cm dish), TPA (phorbol ester) and NaB (sodium butyrate) at a final concentration of 20 ng / mL were added to induce toxin production. After 12 hours, the culture medium was replaced with fresh RPMI 1640 medium containing 10% FBS.

[0119] The culture medium was collected 48 hours after the medium change, filtered through a 0.45 μm filter, and concentrated by high-speed centrifugation. After concentration, it was resuspended in serum-free RPMI 1640 and used immediately for infection or aliquoted and stored at -80 degrees Celsius for long-term storage.

[0120] Detection of 9G01 neutralizing activity in B cells and epithelial cells: The 9G01 antibody from the above examples was adjusted to a concentration of 2 mg / mL. 150 μL of RPMI 1640 medium was added to each well of a new 96-well plate. The first well contained 200 μL of 100 μg / mL 9G01 antibody diluted with RPMI 1640. After a 4-fold serial dilution (50 μL was aspirated from the first well and added to the second well, and so on, until 50 μL was aspirated from the last well and discarded, resulting in a final volume of 150 μL per well), 50 μL of virus dilution buffer (the virus was diluted with RPMI 1640 medium to a titer of approximately 4 × 10⁻⁶) was added to each well. 6 After incubating at 37°C for 2 hours, 100 μL of the solution was added to each well of a 96-well plate containing either 10,000 RAJI cells per well or 1,000 HEK293 cells per well (100 μL RPMI 1640 medium, cell concentration 1×10⁻⁶). 5 Cells / ml). After incubation at 37°C for 48 hours, the cells were analyzed. Infection rates of RAJI and HEK293 cells were detected by flow cytometry. The inhibition rate (neutralization rate %) of the antibody in the RAJI and HEK293 cell infection models was calculated by detecting the reduction in the number of GFP-positive cells in the antibody-treated group compared to the infection control group (which received an equal volume of RPMI 1640). The IC50 of the 9G01 antibody was calculated using Prism. 50 2G4 antibody was used as a negative control antibody (2G4 antibody is a control antibody against Ebola virus, Howell KA, Brannan JM, Bryan C, et al. Cooperativity Enables Non-neutralizing Antibodies to Neutralize Ebolavirus. Cell Rep. 2017;19 (2):413-424. doi:10.1016 / j.celrep.2017.03.049).

[0121] The results are as follows Figure 5 As shown, the IC50 of 9G01 in the RAJI B cell infection model 50 4.268×10 -6 μg / mL, IC50 in the HEK293 cell infection model 50The concentration was 0.0003 μg / mL, while the control group antibody showed no neutralizing activity. The dual-target antibody 9G01 significantly inhibited EBV infection of B cells and epithelial cells.

[0122] 3. The role of 9G01 in blocking viral infection in vivo In this implementation case, a humanized mouse model was used as the test subject to test the effect of the 9G01 antibody in blocking EB virus infection and replication.

[0123] The specific steps are as follows: 24 hours before intravenous injection of EB virus, administer an intraperitoneal injection of 9G01 antibody (25 mg / kg), followed by an intravenous injection of 5×10 oz. 5 Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) at a concentration of GRU / mL. Mice were intraperitoneally injected with 9G01 (25 mg / kg) on ​​days 2, 7, 14, and 21 following EBV injection. Mouse weight and survival status were recorded weekly.
