Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the field of immune effect detection, and particularly relates to a recombinant CHO cell, a method for constructing the recombinant CHO cell, a detection system and a detection method for detecting ADCC effect and CDC effect of an antibody by using the cell. BACKGROUND
[0002] ADCC (antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity) is antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity, which refers to that after specific binding of an antibody to an antigen determinant on the surface of a target cell through a Fab segment, the Fc segment of the antibody is combined with an effector cell having FcγR, triggering the killing activity of the effector cell, and directly killing the target cell. The ADCC effect is an important immune mechanism of the body against infection and tumor, and the effector cells participating in ADCC mainly include natural killer (NK) cells, phagocytes, eosinophils, basophils and mast cells, etc.
[0003] CDC (complement dependent cytotoxicity) is complement-dependent cytotoxicity, which refers to complement-involved cytotoxicity, that is, specific antibodies are combined with corresponding antigens on the surface of a cell membrane to form a complex to activate the classical pathway of complement, the complement protein C1q initiates the classical pathway of complement first, and then the complement proteins C2-C9 are activated to form a membrane attack complex (MAC), which exerts a lytic effect on the target cell.
[0004] Considering the important role of ADCC effect and CDC effect in tumor immunity, in the current development of anti-tumor antibodies, many researchers hope to obtain improved ADCC effect and CDC effect by specific design of antibody structure. However, in the development of other types of antibodies, antibody-mediated ADCC effect and CDC effect are not always desirable.
[0005] Nerve growth factor (NGF) is the first discovered neurotrophic factor, which is produced in the neocortex and hippocampus, and is composed of two α subunits, one β subunit and two γ subunits. NGF can promote the growth, development, differentiation and maturation of central and peripheral neurons, maintain the normal function of the nervous system, and accelerate the repair after nervous system injury. At present, recombinant NGF is mainly used for treating various neuropathies and nerve injuries.
[0006] Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells are one of the most widely used mammalian cell expression systems, which have good post-translational processing ability to maintain the natural structure and activity of the expression product. Currently, CHO has been used to express NGF and secrete recombinant NGF outside the cell, so that NGF can be produced on a large scale (e.g., Xu L et al., Expression, purification, and characterization of recombinant mouse nerve growth factor in Chinese hamster ovary cells. Protein Expr Purif, 2014, 104: 41-49; Wang XY et al., Characteristic element of matrix attachment region mediates vector attachment and enhances nerve growth factor expression in Chinese hamster ovary cells. Genet Mol Res, 2015, 14(3): 9191-9199). However, there is no report on the stable expression of NGF on the surface of recombinant CHO cells. SUMMARY
[0007] In order to accurately detect the ADCC effect and the CDC effect of the anti-NGF antibody, the inventors developed a recombinant CHO cell that can stably express NGF on its surface, which can be effectively used as a target cell to evaluate the ADCC effect and the CDC effect of the anti-NGF antibody.
[0008] In one aspect, the present application relates to a recombinant CHO cell, wherein NGF is stably expressed on the surface of the cell.
[0009] In another aspect, the present application relates to a method of constructing the above-mentioned recombinant CHO cell, comprising:
[0010] (1) cloning a nucleic acid sequence of NGF, a hinge region and a transmembrane region in series into an expression vector to obtain a recombinant expression vector comprising the nucleic acid sequence;
[0011] (2) introducing the recombinant expression vector into a CHO cell to obtain a recombinant CHO cell.
[0012] In another aspect, the present application relates to a system for detecting the ADCC effect of an antibody, wherein the system comprises:
[0013] the recombinant CHO cell described above, and
[0014] effector cells.
[0015] In another aspect, the present application relates to a system for detecting the CDC effect of an antibody, wherein the system comprises:
[0016] the recombinant CHO cell described above, and
[0017] complement.
[0018] In yet another aspect, the present application relates to the use of the recombinant CHO cell described above in detecting the ADCC effect or the CDC effect of an antibody.
[0019] In yet another aspect, the present application relates to a method for detecting the ADCC effect of an antibody, wherein the method comprises incubating the recombinant CHO cell described above as target cells with the antibody to be tested and effector cells.
[0020] In yet another aspect, the present application relates to a method for detecting the CDC effect of an antibody, wherein the method comprises incubating the recombinant CHO cell described above as target cells with the antibody to be tested and complement.
[0021] In conventional recombinant NGF expression studies, mammalian cells such as CHO cells are usually used as expression systems to express and secrete NGF outside the cells, so that it exists in the supernatant in a free form similar to the natural form. In addition, some researchers have also tried to use prokaryotic systems (e.g. E. coli) to express NGF, and the expression product exists in insoluble inclusion bodies (Jiang Jing et al., Comparison of Properties of Recombinant Human β-NGF from E. coli and CHO Expression Systems, Chinese Journal of Bioengineering, 2006, 26(2): 8-12). There is great uncertainty as to whether NGF itself as a free protein rather than a transmembrane protein can be expressed on the cell surface. Therefore, so far there has been no relevant report on stable expression of NGF on the surface of CHO cells. In the present application, by linking the nucleic acid sequence of NGF with the nucleic acid sequence of an appropriate hinge region and transmembrane region, and then introducing it into CHO cells, NGF is stably expressed on the surface of recombinant CHO cells, so that NGF exists on the cell surface rather than being secreted into the culture medium, and the expressed NGF can be properly post-translationally processed (including correct folding, glycosylation, etc.) to maintain the natural conformation and activity. The recombinant CHO cells thus obtained have NGF on the cell surface and can be effectively used as target cells for detecting the ADCC effect and the CDC effect of anti-NGF antibodies, thereby being used for detecting the ADCC effect and the CDC effect of anti-NGF antibodies.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0026] The advantages and features of the present application will become more apparent with the description of specific embodiments. However, these embodiments are only exemplary and do not limit the scope of the present application. Those skilled in the art should understand that the details and forms of the technical solutions of the present application can be modified or replaced without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application, and such modifications and replacements fall within the protection scope of the present application.
[0027] Unless defined otherwise, each technical and scientific term used herein has the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure belongs. See, e.g., Singleton et al., Dictionary of Microbiology and Molecular Biology 2nd ed., J. Wiley & Sons (New York, NY 1994); Sambrook et al., Molecular Cloning, A Laboratory Manual, Cold Springs Harbor Press (Cold Springs Harbor, NY 1989); Davis et al., Basic Methods in Molecular Biology, Elsevier Science Publishing Inc., New York, USA (2012); Abbas et al., Cellular and Molecular Immunology, Elsevier Science Health Science div (2009); He Wei et al., Medical Immunology (2nd Edition), People's Medical Publishing House, 2010.
[0028] In the present text, the terms "comprise", "comprises" and "comprising" or equivalents thereof, contain, contain, contain, include, include, include, are open expressions that mean the inclusion of the elements, components or steps listed, but not excluding the inclusion of other unspecified elements, components or steps.
[0029] In the present text, unless otherwise stated, all numbers expressing amounts, measurements or conditions used herein are to be understood as being modified in all instances by the term "about". The term "about", when used in connection with a percentage, can mean, for example, ± 1 %, preferably ± 0.5 %, more preferably ± 0.1 %.
[0030] Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, a singular term includes a plural connotation, and vice versa. Similarly, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the word "or" is intended to encompass "and".
[0031] In the present text, the percentage of identity (degree of homology) between sequences can be determined by comparing two sequences, for example using freely available computer programs commonly used for this purpose on the World Wide Web (e.g. BLASTp or BLASTn with default settings) (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov).
[0032] In the present context, the term "codon optimization" refers to the process of modifying a nucleic acid sequence by replacing at least one codon of the natural sequence with a codon that is more frequently or most frequently used in the host cell while maintaining the natural amino acid sequence to improve expression in the host cell. Various species have specific preferences for specific codons for specific amino acids, and this codon preference (differences in codon usage between organisms) is often correlated with the efficiency of translation of mRNA.
[0033] In the present application, "expression vector" refers to a vector comprising a desired coding sequence and appropriate nucleic acid sequences necessary for expression of the operably linked coding sequence in a particular host organism. The expression vector can preferably include one or more marker genes. For the purpose of expressing the sequences of the present application, any of a variety of expression control sequences such as, for example, the following can be used in the vector: replication origin, polyadenylation signal, promoter, enhancer, terminator, etc.
[0034] Since the U.S. FDA approved the first monoclonal antibody drug OKT3 (muromonab-CD3) in 1986, antibody drugs have been increasingly studied as an option for disease treatment, and to date, the FDA has approved hundreds of antibody drugs (https: / / www.nature.com / articles / d41573-021-00079-7). The mechanism by which antibodies activate the human immune system is complex, and the most important ones include antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) and complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC).
[0035] In general, since NGF itself is a free protein, the recombinant cells constructed to express NGF secrete the expressed NGF to the outside of the cells, allowing it to exist in a free form substantially equivalent to the natural form in the culture medium, thereby making the conventional recombinant cells constructed to express NGF unsuitable as target cells used in ADCC and CDC assays. There is great uncertainty regarding expression of NGF on the surface of cells, and even if NGF is expressed on the surface of recombinant cells, it is unknown whether the expressed NGF can maintain the same natural conformation and activity as free NGF. Therefore, prior to this, there has been no report of recombinant CHO cells or other recombinant cells that stably express NGF on their surfaces.
[0036] In some embodiments, the present application relates to a recombinant CHO cell, wherein NGF is stably expressed on the surface of the cell.
[0037] In the present disclosure, any known sequence of NGF can be used, such as those available in NCBI, ENSMBL or UniProt databases, or those codon-optimized according to the codon bias of the host cell (using available software such as codon W) from known sequences. In some preferred embodiments, the NGF can be a mammalian NGF, such as human NGF, mouse NGF, rat NGF, bovine NGF, horse NGF, pig NGF, etc., but not limited thereto. Exemplary amino acid sequences and nucleic acid sequences of NGF can be found in the descriptions of the following: Katherine A.

[0124]
[0125] Example 1 Construction of NGF overexpression lentiviral vector and preparation of lentivirus
[0126] The nucleic acid sequence of NGF can be concatenated with the nucleic acid sequence encoding the hinge region and the transmembrane region and inserted into a suitable expression vector, thereby achieving the heterologous expression of the above-mentioned nucleic acid sequence. For NGF, NGF from mammals can be selected, such as human NGF, mouse NGF, rat NGF, bovine NGF, horse NGF, pig NGF, etc., and NGF and its nucleic acid sequence can be synthesized according to known sequences disclosed in commonly used nucleic acid sequence and protein sequence databases, such as NCBI, ENSMBL or UniProt.
[0127] Here, human NGF is taken as an example, and CD8 hinge region and CD8 transmembrane region are used in concatenation with the NGF. Specifically, the full-length sequence of human NGF is codon-optimized according to the codon bias of the host cell CHO-S cell, obtaining NGF with the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 1 (the corresponding nucleic acid sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO: 4), which is concatenated with the CD8 hinge region (the amino acid sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO: 7; the nucleic acid sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO: 9) and the CD8 transmembrane region (the amino acid sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO: 10; the nucleic acid sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO: 13). After concatenation, the synthesized gene fragment is subcloned into the Lenti-CMV-puro lentivirus expression vector (Ekon Biotech (Suzhou) Co., Ltd.) to prepare the target gene overexpression vector Lenti-CMV-NGF-Full(CD8-TM) vector. After sequencing verification that the sequence is correct, a endotoxin-free plasmid is prepared for standby.
[0128] Next, the lentivirus is prepared according to the following steps:
[0129] 1. Prepare 15 cm cell culture dishes, inoculate 293T cells (Genewiz) at 5 x 10 6 cells / dish, add complete culture medium (DMEM high glucose culture medium supplemented with 10% FBS), and incubate in a 37°C, 5% CO2 incubator overnight.
[0130] 2. Take out the transfection reagent LVTransm, Lenti-CMV-NGF-Full(CD8-TM) expression vector and lentivirus packaging plasmid Lenti-packaging Mix from the refrigerator, thaw at room temperature, and mix thoroughly by pipetting up and down. Prepare the transfection complex according to the following procedure: take 1x PBS or HBSS buffer and warm to room temperature, then take 2 mL of PBS or HBSS buffer and add to one well of a 6-well plate, add 10 μg of Lenti-CMV-NGF-Full(CD8-TM) expression vector and 30 μL of Lenti-packaging Mix, mix thoroughly by pipetting up and down, then add 50 μL of LVTransm, immediately mix by pipetting up and down, and stand at room temperature for 10-15 minutes.
[0131] 3. Add the transfection complex dropwise to the 15 cm cell culture dish from step 1, gently shake the dish to mix thoroughly. After incubating the dish at 37°C in a 5% CO2 incubator for 6-8 hours, remove the culture medium containing the transfection reagent and replace it with fresh complete culture medium, then return the dish to the incubator for continued culture.
[0132] 4. After continuous culture for 24 hours, collect the virus-containing culture medium supernatant from the dish into a 50 mL centrifuge tube; add about 25 mL of fresh complete culture medium to the dish and continue to culture for 24 hours.
[0133] 5. Collect the virus-containing culture medium supernatant from the dish into a 50 mL centrifuge tube; add about 25 mL of fresh complete culture medium to the dish and continue to culture for 24 hours.
[0134] 6. Collect the virus-containing culture medium supernatant from the dish and mix it with the supernatant from the previous two culture steps.
[0135] 7. Filter the culture medium supernatant described above using a 0.45 μm PES filter membrane, then transfer the filtrate to a sterile centrifuge tube and centrifuge at 50000 x g at 4°C for 2 hours. After centrifugation, carefully remove the liquid from the centrifuge tube in a biological safety cabinet, resuspend the precipitate with 1 mL of PBS buffer, and store the obtained Lenti-CMV-NGF-Full(CD8-TM) overexpression lentivirus at -80°C.
[0136] Example 2 Construction of recombinant CHO cells
[0137] Using the Lenti-CMV-NGF-Full(CD8-TM) overexpression lentivirus prepared in Example 1, the recombinant CHO cells capable of stably expressing NGF on the cell surface (also referred to as "CHO-NGF recombinant cells" or "CHO-NGF cells") were prepared according to the following procedure:
[0138] 1. The CHO-S cells were resuscitated from liquid nitrogen and cultured at 37°C in a 5% CO2 incubator using CHO Grow CD1 serum-free medium. The cells were subcultured for 5 times in succession to make them in logarithmic growth phase.
[0139] 2. A new 6-well plate was taken and the above-mentioned CHO-S cells in logarithmic growth phase were inoculated into the 6-well plate at a density of 5x10 6 cells / well, and 3 mL of CHO Grow CD1 serum-free medium was added. The required virus amount was calculated according to the MOI = 5, the number of inoculated cells and the virus titer, and the calculation formula was as follows:
[0140] Virus amount (mL) = (cell number x MOI) / virus titer
[0141] 3. The Lenti-CMV-NGF-Full(CD8-TM) overexpression lentivirus prepared in Example 1 was added into the 6-well plate in an amount calculated according to the above formula, and the 6-well plate was placed in a centrifuge for centrifugation at 800xg for 1 hour at room temperature.
[0142] 4. After centrifugation, the 6-well plate was taken out and placed in a 37°C, 5% CO2 incubator for continuous culture for 24 hours.
[0143] 5. After 24 hours of culture, the culture medium in the 6-well plate was replaced with fresh CHO Grow CD1 serum-free medium, and the culture was continued for another 24 hours.
[0144] 6. The culture medium in the 6-well plate was replaced with CHO Grow CD1 serum-free medium containing 8 μg / ml Puromycin, and the culture was continued for 5 days until all the uninfected CHO-S cells were killed.
[0145] 7. The remaining living cells were further expanded, and the cells were collected to obtain the constructed recombinant CHO cells.
[0146] Example 3 Flow cytometric identification of recombinant CHO cells
[0147] The recombinant CHO cells constructed in Example 2 were identified by flow cytometry using a positive control antibody. The positive control antibody HAB20-6-2 was prepared according to the following procedure:
[0148] 1. Starting from the anti-NGF antibody Tanezumab of IgG2 subtype developed by Pfizer, according to the sequence information of Tanezumab antibody (the sequence of its heavy chain is shown in SEQ NO ID: 14; the sequence of its light chain is shown in SEQ NO ID: 15), the Fc segment constant region sequence of Tanezumab antibody is replaced by the constant region sequence of human IgG1 subtype (the amino acid sequence is shown in SEQ NO ID: 16; the nucleotide sequence is shown in SEQ NO ID: 17), and the rest remains unchanged, and a pcDNA3.1-hIgG1 vector (prepared by Aikangde Biotech (Suzhou) Co., Ltd.) is used to construct a human IgG1 subtype recombinant antibody expression vector, which is stored in the refrigerator for standby.
[0149] 2. Take the transfection reagent LVTransm and the human IgG1 subtype recombinant antibody expression vector from the refrigerator, and after thawing at room temperature, blow them up and down with a pipette gun. Take 1xPBS or HBSS buffer and warm it to room temperature. Then, take 2 mL of PBS or HBSS buffer and add it to one well of a 6-well plate, and add 90 μg of the human IgG1 subtype recombinant antibody expression vector (the ratio of light chain to heavy chain is 2:1) to it, and mix it well by blowing it up and down with a pipette gun. Then add 270 μL of LVTransm to it, and immediately mix it well by blowing it up and down with a pipette, and let it stand at room temperature for 10 minutes to obtain a complex.
[0150] 3. Add the complex obtained above to 50 mL of 293F cells, and mix them well by gently shaking. Place the cells in a 37°C, 5% CO2 incubator and incubate at 130 RPM for 6-8 hours, then add 50 mL of fresh 293F medium to the cells and place them back in the incubator for further culture.
[0151] 4. After continuous culture for 7 days, centrifuge to collect the supernatant of the culture medium, filter it with a 0.45 μm filter membrane, and transfer the filtrate to a sterile centrifuge tube. Use a Protein A affinity column to purify the antibody to obtain the positive control antibody HAB20-6-2.
[0152] 5. Detect the purity of the protein by SDS-PAGE.
[0153] The detection results are shown in Figure 1 According to the SDS-PAGE detection results, the purity of the positive control antibody HAB20-6-2 prepared above is greater than 90%, and it can be used for ADCC effect detection.

[0162] Based on the positive control antibody HAB20-6-2 prepared above, the recombinant CHO cells can be identified by flow cytometry, for example, the recombinant CHO cells (CHO-NGF cells) constructed in Example 2 can be identified according to the following procedure:
[0163] (1) The CHO-NGF cells constructed in Example 2 and CHO-S cells as a blank control were cultured in CHO Grow CD1 serum-free medium at 37°C in a 5% CO2 incubator, and the cell state was adjusted to the logarithmic growth phase.
[0164] (2) 5 x 10 5 cells of each of the above two cells were added to one well of a 6-well plate, 100 μl of 1 x PBS buffer was added to each well with the above cells to resuspend the cells, and then 1 μg of the positive control antibody HAB20-6-2 was added to each well, which was mixed well and incubated at room temperature for 45 min; at the same time, a well without the addition of the positive control antibody was set as a negative control.
[0165] (3) Centrifugation at 800 x g for 5 min at room temperature to remove the supernatant containing the antibody, and the cells were washed 3 times with 1 x PBS buffer;
[0166] (4) PE anti-human IgG Fc secondary antibody (1:200 dilution) was added, mixed well, and incubated at room temperature for 30 min in the dark;
[0167] (5) Centrifugation at 800 x g for 5 min at room temperature to remove the supernatant containing the secondary antibody, and the cells were washed 3 times with 1 x PBS buffer;
[0168] (6) The cells were resuspended with 500 uL of 1 x PBS buffer and subjected to flow cytometry analysis.
[0169] The flow cytometry identification results are shown in Figure 2 . According to the flow cytometry detection results, Figure 2 the positive rate of the positive control antibody of the CHO-NGF cells constructed in Example 2 was 82.67%, and therefore, the cells can be used as target cells for ADCC effect detection.
[0170] Example 4 ADCC effect detection
[0171] The CHO-NGF recombinant cells stably expressing human NGF on cell surface constructed in Example 2 above were used as target cells, and the Jurkat-NFAT-Luciferase-CD16 cell line stably transfected with luciferase was used as effector cells. After the Fab fragment of the sample to be tested or the positive control antibody binds to the antigen on the target cells, the Fc fragment of the sample to be tested or the positive control antibody binds to CD16 on the surface of the effector cells Jurkat-NFAT-Luciferase-CD16, the NFAT-related signal pathway in the cells is activated, which in turn leads to an increase in the expression level of luciferase. By detecting the change in luciferase activity, the ADCC effect of the sample to be tested and the positive control antibody can be evaluated.
[0172] The sample to be tested Tanezumab is a recombinant anti-NGF humanized monoclonal antibody developed by Pfizer, which targets human nerve growth factor and is synthesized using a CHO cell expression system. The relevant information of Tanezumab and the positive control antibody HAB20-6-2 used in this example is shown in the table below.

[0174] The ADCC effect detection experiment was performed using the ADCC Reporter Bioassay, and the experimental steps were as follows.
[0175] 1. Jurkat-NFAT-Luciferase-CD16 overexpressing cells were used as effector cells, and CHO-NGF cells constructed in Example 2 were used as target cells. The ADCC experimental system was established according to the effector-to-target ratio of 1:5 (a total of 100 μL), wherein the number of effector cells was 2 x 10 4 cells, and the number of target cells was 1 x 10 5 cells / well, which were added to a 96-well plate as the subsequent experimental system.
[0176] 2. Tanezumab and the positive control antibody HAB20-6-2 were first diluted to a concentration of 200 μg / mL with RPMI 1640 medium to obtain their respective stock solutions, and then 10-fold gradient dilution was performed (20 μL of each stock solution obtained by dilution was added to 180 μL of RPMI 1640 medium, and gradient dilution was performed in sequence). Nine gradients were continuously diluted (200, 20, 2, 0.2, 0.02, 0.002, 0.0002, 0.00002, 0.000002, 0 μg / ml).
[0177] 3. In the above experimental system, the different concentrations of the test sample Tanezumab and the positive control antibody HAB20-6-2 obtained by dilution were added, 100 μL of the test sample and the positive control antibody (with a final concentration of 100, 10, 1, 0.1, 0.01, 0.001, 0.0001, 0.00001, 0.000001, 0 μg / ml in each well) were inoculated in each well, 2 replicates for each concentration, and incubated at 37°C in a 5% CO2 incubator for 18 hours. Then, 20 μL of One-Glo reagent was added, and the reaction was carried out at room temperature for 5 minutes. The ADCC effect of the antibody was evaluated by detecting the change in luciferase activity. The detection of Tanezumab was repeated 4 times.
[0178] In this example, the CHO-NGF recombinant cells stably expressing NGF on the cell surface constructed in Example 2 were used as target cells, and the existing effector cells were used to evaluate the ability of the positive control antibody HAB20-6-2 and Tanezumab to mediate ADCC effect by the reporter gene method. The detection results of the ADCC effect are shown in Figure 3 Figure 3 According to the detection results in
[0179] It can be seen that under the above experimental conditions, the positive control antibody produced a significant ADCC effect, while Tanezumab, which has the same variable region as the positive control antibody (thus it can be expected that the antibody Tanezumab can recognize and specifically bind to the same antigen, i.e. NGF expressed by CHO-NGF recombinant cells), did not produce a significant ADCC effect. Therefore, the CHO-NGF recombinant cells of the present application can be effectively used as target cells for detecting the ADCC effect mediated by anti-NGF antibodies in vitro, so as to accurately detect whether the test antibody can cause the effector cells to produce an ADCC effect.
[0180] Example 5 CDC effect detection
[0181] The CHO-NGF recombinant cells stably expressing human NGF on cell surface constructed in Example 2 were used as target cells. The target cells, human complement serum, the sample to be tested or the positive control antibody were incubated together. After the Fab fragment of the sample to be tested or the positive control antibody bound to the antigen on the target cells, the Fc fragment of the sample to be tested or the positive control antibody combined with the complement in the human serum and initiated the CDC effect, causing the target cells to be killed. ATP is an important indicator of cell metabolism, and its content directly reflects the number of living cells. After the incubation was completed, the Cell Counting-Lite 3D Luminescent reagent was added to the reaction system. The reagent contains heat-stable luciferase and its substrate luciferin, and can promote the lysis of living cells in the reaction system to release ATP. ATP promotes luciferase to act on the substrate to make it emit light. By detecting the light intensity, the number of living cells in the detection system can be reflected, and the lysis effect of the sample to be tested or the positive control antibody on the target cells through CDC can be reflected.
[0182] The relevant information of the sample to be tested Tanezumab and the positive control antibody HAB20-6-2 was the same as in Example 4. The CDC effect detection experiment was carried out according to the following steps:
[0183] 1. The CHO-NGF cells constructed in Example 2 were used as target cells, and the cell amount for inoculation was 4x10 4 cells / well (90 μL), which were inoculated into a 96-well plate as the subsequent experimental system.
[0184] 2. The sample to be tested Tanezumab and the positive control antibody HAB20-6-2 were first diluted with RPMI 1640 medium to a concentration of 200 μg / mL to obtain the respective stock solutions, and then 10-fold gradient dilution was carried out (20 μL of each stock solution obtained by dilution was added to 180 μL of RPMI 1640 medium, and gradient dilution was carried out in turn). Nine gradients were continuously diluted (200, 20, 2, 0.2, 0.02, 0.002, 0.0002, 0.00002, 0.000002, 0 μg / ml).
[0185] 3. In the above experimental system, the different concentrations of the test sample Tanezumab and the positive control antibody HAB20-6-2 (the final concentrations in each well were 100, 10, 1, 0.1, 0.01, 0.001, 0.0001, 0.00001, 0.000001, 0 μg / ml, respectively) obtained by dilution were added, 10 μL of Human Complement Serum was added, 2 replicates for each concentration, and incubated at 37°C in a 5% CO2 incubator for 18 hours. Then, 50 μL of Cell Counting-Lite 3D reagent was added, and the cell clusters were fully lysed by shaking for 2 min. After incubation at room temperature for 25 min, the luminescence value was detected using a multifunctional microplate reader. The lysis of target cells was reflected by the change in luminescence value, and the CDC effect of the antibody was evaluated. The Tanezumab was detected 4 times.
[0186] 4. The formula for calculating the percentage of target cell lysis (Lysis %) is (RLU max : the fluorescence intensity of the cell blank control well; RLU sample : the fluorescence intensity of the well with the test sample or the positive control antibody added)
[0187]
[0188] In this example, the CHO-NGF recombinant cells stably expressing NGF on the cell surface constructed in Example 2 were used as target cells to evaluate the ability of the positive control antibody HAB20-6-2 and Tanezumab to mediate the CDC effect. According to the detection results in Example 1, Figure 4 According to the detection results in Example 1, the positive control antibody HAB20-6-2 produced a significant CDC effect on CHO-NGF target cells, and there was a clear dose-effect relationship within a certain dose range. However, the 4 detections of Tanezumab, which only differed from the positive control antibody in the Fc constant region sequence, did not detect a significant CDC effect.
[0189] It can be seen that under the above experimental conditions, the positive control antibody HAB20-6-2 produced a significant CDC effect, while Tanezumab (which has the same variable region as the positive control antibody, so it can be expected that the antibody Tanezumab can also recognize and specifically bind to the NGF expressed on the surface of the CHO-NGF recombinant cells) did not produce a significant CDC effect. Therefore, the CHO-NGF recombinant cells of the present application can be effectively used as target cells for detecting the CDC effect mediated by anti-NGF antibodies in vitro, thereby accurately detecting whether the test antibody can produce a CDC effect on target cells.
