Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of immunoassay technology, and in particular to a hybridoma cell line that secretes voriconazole monoclonal antibodies and its applications. Background Technology

[0002] Voriconazole is a second-generation triazole broad-spectrum antifungal drug that exerts its antifungal activity by inhibiting ergosterol synthesis through the inhibition of fungal cytochrome P450-dependent 14α-sterol demethylase. It is a first-line treatment for serious fungal infections such as invasive aspergillosis and candidiasis. Voriconazole is characterized by a narrow therapeutic window, significant individual variability, and chiral properties in clinical applications. Low blood concentrations can easily lead to treatment failure, while excessively high concentrations may cause adverse reactions such as hepatotoxicity and visual disturbances. Therefore, clinical drug monitoring is widely recommended for individualized dosing of voriconazole to ensure efficacy and reduce toxicity risks. Thus, research on voriconazole detection methods is of great significance.

[0003] In recent years, the detection of voriconazole has mainly relied on instrumental analysis. Gui Mingzhu et al. (Correlation Study of Voriconazole Blood Concentration in Children with CYP2C19, CYP2C9 and CYP3A5 Gene Polymorphisms, Pharmaceutical Practice and Service, 2026, 44(02):76-79+107.) used high performance liquid chromatography to detect the trough concentration of voriconazole in blood. The measured drug concentration values ​​ranged from 0.56 to 7.62 μg / mL, and the overall effective rate was 84%. Ni Weijian et al. (Establishment and Clinical Application of Method for Simultaneous Monitoring of Voriconazole, Posaconazole and Itraconazole Blood Concentrations, Chinese Journal of Hospital Pharmacy, 2026, 46(02):132-140. DOI: 10.13286 / j.1001-5213.2026.02.02.) established a method for monitoring the concentration of voriconazole in patients' serum by high performance liquid chromatography. This method showed a linear correlation in the concentration range of 0.202-20.200 μg / mL. These methods are complex to operate and require cumbersome sample processing, making them unsuitable for detecting large batches of samples in actual production. There is an urgent need to establish a simple, highly sensitive, and specific detection method. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is a highly efficient, sensitive, and rapid detection method, and it is increasingly being used in clinical drug monitoring. However, the prerequisite for ELISA detection is the availability of a highly specific and sensitive monoclonal antibody, which is currently lacking in existing technologies.

[0014] A fifth object of the present invention is to provide a voriconazole detection product comprising the above-described monoclonal antibody.

[0015] Furthermore, the test product also includes a coating agent.

[0016] Furthermore, the coating is prepared from a hapten-conjugated carrier protein; the carrier protein includes chicken ovalbumin.

[0035] Example 1: Synthesis of hapten VOR

[0036] The hapten VOR is obtained by reacting voriconazole technical with succinic anhydride. The synthetic route is as follows: Figure 2 As shown.

[0037] The specific steps are as follows:

[0038] Reaction solution A: Voriconazole (50 mg, 0.14 mmol), succinic anhydride (42 mg, 0.42 mmol), and DMAP (50.4 mg, 0.42 mmol) were weighed and dissolved in pyridine. The reaction was carried out at 60°C for 12 h, followed by extraction with ethyl acetate. After separation, the upper layer was collected and dried under nitrogen to obtain the crude sample.

[0039] The crude sample was purified by recrystallization. The crude sample was dissolved in methanol. After complete dissolution, it was allowed to stand overnight at room temperature, resulting in the precipitation of a brown precipitate. This precipitate was filtered through filter paper, washed 2-3 times with petroleum ether, and dried at 50°C to obtain a brown precipitate (26.8 mg), which was the hapten VOR, with a yield of 53.6%.

[0040] Example 2: Preparation of complete antigen

[0041] The hapten VOR is conjugated to a carrier protein using the carbodiimide method to obtain the voriconazole artificial antigen. Specifically, the hapten VOR prepared in Example 1 is conjugated with bovine serum albumin (BSA) to obtain the complete antigen VOR-EDC-BSA.

Dialysis: Cut an 8 cm dialysis bag, boil it in boiling water for 3 minutes and cool it, then store it in deionized water at 4℃ for later use; put the VOR-EDC-BSA conjugate into the dialysis bag and dialyze it in 0.01 mol / L PBS, changing it every 8 hours, and dialyze for 3 days to obtain the complete antigen VOR-EDC-BSA, which should be taken out and stored at -20℃.

[0045] Example 3: Preparation of Immunogen

[0050] Example 4: Immunization in mice

[0051] For the initial immunization, 100 μg of voriconazole complete antigen was emulsified with an equal volume of complete Freund's adjuvant and administered via multiple subcutaneous injections into the neck and back of BALB / c mice. Four weeks later, a booster immunization was performed with half the dose of complete antigen (50 μg / mouse) emulsified with incomplete Freund's adjuvant. Subsequent booster immunizations were administered at 3-week intervals. For the final sprint immunization, the dose was again halved (25 μg / mouse), and the complete antigen was diluted with physiological saline and administered via intraperitoneal injection. After the third immunization, tail-disconnected blood samples were collected for testing. Serum titers and IC50 values ​​were determined using an indirect competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ic-ELISA). 50 Choose high-performance ICs 50 Low-grade mice were fused;

[0052] Example 5: Cell Fusion and Screening

[0053] (1) Three days after the sprint immunization, cell fusion was performed according to the conventional PEG 4000 (polyethylene glycol) method. The specific steps are as follows:

[0054] a. Collection of SP2 / 0 tumor cells: 7-10 days before fusion, culture SP2 / 0 tumor cells in RPMI-1640 medium containing 10% FBS (fetal bovine serum) in a 5% CO2 incubator. The required number of SP2 / 0 tumor cells before fusion should be 1-4 x 10⁻⁴ cells. 7 To ensure that SP2 / 0 tumor cells are in the logarithmic growth phase before fusion. During fusion, tumor cells are collected, suspended in RPMI-1640 basal culture medium, and cell counting is performed.

[0055] b. After euthanizing mice by cervical dislocation, immediately sterilize them in 75% alcohol for about 5 minutes. Aseptically remove the spleen, gently grind it with a syringe tip, and pass it through a 200-mesh cell sieve to obtain a spleen cell suspension. Collect 50 mL of the suspension in a sterile centrifuge tube, centrifuge at 1200 r / min for 8 minutes, wash the spleen cells with RPMI-1640 medium, remove any large tissue impurities, and repeat the process three times. After the final centrifugation, dilute the spleen cells to a specific volume, count them, and set aside for later use.

[0056] c. Fusion process (7 min): At min 1, add 1 mL of PEG 4000 dropwise to the cells, gradually increasing the speed. At min 2, allow the centrifuge tube to stand and hold it firmly with both hands. At min 3 and min 4, add 1 mL of RPMI-1640 medium dropwise every 1 min. At min 5 and min 6, add 1 mL of RPMI-1640 medium dropwise every 30 s. At min 7, add 1 mL of RPMI-1640 medium dropwise every 10 s. Then incubate at 37°C for 5 min. Centrifuge at 800 r / min for 10 min, discard the supernatant, gently break up the cells in the centrifuge tube, and add RPMI-1640 selective medium (HAT medium) containing 20% ​​fetal bovine serum and 2% 50×HAT to a 96-well cell plate at a rate of 200 μL / well. Incubate at 37°C in a 5% CO2 incubator.

[0057] (2) Cell screening and cell line establishment: On day 3 after cell fusion, the fused cells were partially replaced with HAT medium; on day 5, the medium was completely replaced with RPMI-1640 transition medium (HT medium) containing 20% ​​fetal bovine serum and 1% 100×HT; on day 7, the cell supernatant was collected for screening. The screening was carried out in two steps: first, positive cell wells were screened using ic-ELISA; second, voriconazole standard was selected, and the inhibitory effect on positive cells was determined using ic-ELISA. Cell wells that showed good inhibition of voriconazole standard were selected, and subcloning was performed using the limiting dilution method. The same method was used for detection seven days later. Subcloning was performed four times according to the above method to finally obtain the voriconazole monoclonal antibody cell line.

[0058] Example 6: Preparation and Identification of Monoclonal Antibodies

[0059] 8-10 week old BALB / c mice were injected intraperitoneally with 1 mL of sterile paraffin oil; 7 days later, each mouse was injected intraperitoneally with 2 × 10⁻⁶ g of paraffin oil. 6 Voriconazole hybridoma cells were used to collect ascites fluid starting on day 7. The ascites fluid was then purified for antibody treatment using the caprylic acid-saturated ammonium sulfate method. Under slightly acidic conditions, caprylic acid precipitates other proteins in the ascites fluid besides IgG immunoglobulins. The precipitate was then discarded by centrifugation. IgG-type monoclonal antibodies were then precipitated with an equal volume of saturated ammonium sulfate solution, centrifuged, and the supernatant was discarded. The antibodies were dissolved in 0.01 M PBS solution (pH 7.4), dialyzed to desalt, and finally the purified monoclonal antibodies were stored at -20°C.

[0060] (1) Coating: The original VOR-EDC-OVA was diluted 3-fold from 1 µg / mL with 0.05M (pH 9.6) carbonate buffer, 100 μL / well, and reacted at 37℃ for 2 h.

[0061] (2) Washing: Pour off the solution in the plate and wash with washing solution 3 times, 3 minutes each time.

[0062] (3) Sealing: After patting dry, add 200 μL / well sealing solution and react at 37℃ for 2 h. Wash and dry for later use.

[0063] (4) Sample addition: The antiserum (antiserum obtained by diluting the blood from the tail of mice with antibody diluent) was serially diluted from 1:1000 and added to each well of the coating at 100 μL / well. The reaction was carried out at 37℃ for 30 min. After thorough washing, HRP-goat anti-mouse IgG diluted at 1:3000 was added at 100 μL / well. The reaction was carried out at 37℃ for 30 min.

[0064] (5) Color development: Take out the microplate, wash it thoroughly, add 100 μL of TMB color development solution to each well, and react at 37°C in the dark for 15 min.

[0065] (6) Termination and measurement: Add 50 μL of stop solution to each well to terminate the reaction, and then measure the OD of each well using a microplate reader. 450 value.

[0066] The IC50 of the monoclonal antibody voriconazole was determined by ic-ELISA. 50 The value was 10 ng / mL, indicating good sensitivity to voriconazole, and it can be used for voriconazole immunoassay.

[0067] Specific experiments

[0068] The IC50 of the monoclonal antibody against voriconazole was determined using an indirect competitive ELISA method. 50 The concentration was 10 ng / mL, and its IC50 for compounds such as fluconazole, posaconazole, and isosorbide dinitrate was verified. 50 and cross-reactivity rate, the cross-reactivity value is calculated as: (IC50 of voriconazole) 50 IC of other compounds 50 () × 100%, as shown in Table 1.

[0069] Table 1. IC50 of voriconazole monoclonal antibody against voriconazole and its cross-links 50 and cross-reactivity rate,

[0070]

[0071] The monoclonal antibody showed 100% cross-linking against voriconazole, while the cross-linking against fluconazole, posaconazole, and isaconazole was less than 1%. This indicates that the monoclonal antibody obtained in this invention has high sensitivity (IC50) to voriconazole. 50It has a value of 10 ng / mL and also exhibits high specificity (cross-reactivity with analogs is less than 1%).
