Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of biotechnology, and particularly relates to a method for single-particle analysis of viral nucleic acid vectors. Background Art
[0002] Viral nucleic acid vectors are a type of viral vectors that can carry foreign genes after genetic modification of their own elements. Among them, the four most representative viral nucleic acid vectors are: lentiviral vectors, retroviral vectors, herpes simplex virus vectors, and recombinant coronavirus vectors. The above vectors have the advantages of carrying large fragments of exogenous target genes, stably and continuously expressing the target nucleic acid, and having a small immune response. Therefore, they have become one of the most widely used gene therapy delivery tools, and it has been proven that such products have achieved clear clinical efficacy. For example, in targeted tumor immunotherapy, chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy has shown superior response rates, so the FDA has approved CAR-T products based on lentiviral and retroviral vectors (Novartis: Kymriah, Kite Pharma: Yescarta) for market. As an important oncolytic virus product, the first oncolytic HSV-1 (orienX010) virus was approved for clinical trials in China in 2009; in 2018, the oncolytic HSV-2 (rHSV2hGM-CSF) virus was approved for clinical trials. The recently intensive clinical trials of non-replicating recombinant coronavirus vaccines (CN111218459A and WO2021184560) are of great significance for the current and future epidemic prevention and control caused by coronaviruses.
[0003] In the prior art, taking the determination of lentivirus titer as an example, the main methods include TCID 50 -GFP fluorescence microscopy method, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method, and quantitative PCR method. Among them, TCID 50- The GFP fluorescence protein fluorescence microscopy method requires labeling the lentiviral vector with the green fluorescent protein gene, collecting the supernatant after transfection of cells, diluting it in gradients, observing and counting the virus titer under a fluorescence microscope. This method is rather cumbersome in operation. Moreover, due to the complexity of the genetic expression system, the evaluation of lentiviral titer by this method is often on the low side. The ELISA method evaluates the packaging efficiency by detecting the content of HIV-1 p24 protein, which is more accurate and sensitive than the previous methods. However, this method only measures the particle number of lentivirus and does not measure the actual infectivity of lentivirus to target cells. The conversion of the actual titer measurement of lentivirus by this method is still based on empirical numerical judgment and cannot cover the individual differences of real products. And since there must be a certain amount of free p24 protein in the virus suspension, the ELISA method is considered to overestimate the actual virus titer. The absolute quantitative PCR method can measure the copy number of viral genomes in the genomes of target cells infected by the virus per cell on average, and can reflect the titer of lentivirus, especially the lentivirus without a labeled gene, more accurately to a certain extent. However, it is powerless for the detection of the titer of other non-nucleic acid biological functional indicators of lentivirus, and this method is very sensitive to contamination, and the false positive results measured after contamination are extremely harmful. The above methods are the main methods for evaluating other viral nucleic acid vectors.
[0004] During the preparation of viral nucleic acid vectors, the quality of the virus is usually measured by the virus titer. At present, the above case methods only measure the partial titer of lentivirus, and the formed detection data cannot comprehensively and truly reflect the real titer differences caused by the biological functional differences of different compositions of lentivirus. The accurate determination of the quality index of viral nucleic acid vectors with the virus titer as the core has become a limiting link in the technological development of the gene therapy field. The gene therapy biotechnology field still needs to develop a method for measuring the quality index of lentivirus with high efficiency, accuracy, easy operation, small sample consumption and good repeatability.

[0189] Example 1: Detection by nano-flow cytometer after labeling with nucleic acid dye and VSVG antibody conjugated with fluorescent dye

Dilute the concentrated solution of the lentiviral vector product by 3 times to obtain the sample solution.

FITC fluorescence was the excitation signal of nucleic acid dye to characterize the nucleic acids in the lentiviral vectors, and PC5 fluorescence characterized the fusogenic envelope G glycoprotein in the lentiviral vectors. The detection results of the FITC fluorescence channel and the PC5 fluorescence channel of the particle population with positive scattered light signals were analyzed, and the scatter plot of the detection results was recorded. The obtained scatter plot of the results was set with four quadrant gates. Among them,
[0198] The particle population with positive scattered light signals, positive nucleic acid signals, and positive VSV-G expression signals was the particles of lentiviral vectors containing nucleic acids and VSV-G, or the particle population with positive scattered light signals, positive target nucleic acid signals, and positive VSV-G expression signals was the particles of lentiviral vectors containing target nucleic acids and VSV-G;
[0199] The particle population with positive scattered light signals, positive VSV-G expression signals, and negative nucleic acid signals was the particles of empty capsid lentiviral vectors;

[0201] The detection results of the scattered light channel and the results of the particle population of fluorescent signals with positive scattered light signals were as Figure 2 shown.
[0202] 4) Calculation of the biological functional titer of the lentiviral vector product
[0203] The particle population with positive scattered light signals, positive nucleic acid signals, and positive VSV-G expression signals was the particles of lentiviral vectors containing nucleic acids and VSV-G; the titer of the particles of lentiviral vectors containing nucleic acids and VSV-G was the product of P1 and the concentration of the lentiviral vector product obtained in step 1) of Example 1, and the result was 1.34×10 8 TU / mL, where P1 was the percentage of the number of particles in the particle population with positive scattered light signals, positive nucleic acid signals, and positive VSV-G expression signals to the total number of particles in all particle populations with positive scattered light signals.
[0204] The particle population with positive scattered light signals, positive VSV-G expression signals, and negative nucleic acid signals was the particles of empty capsid lentiviral vectors; the calculation method for the titer of the empty capsid lentiviral vectors was the product of P2 and the concentration of the lentiviral vector product obtained in step 1) of Example 1, and the result was 1.4×10 7TU / mL, where P2 is the percentage of the number of particles in the particle population with positive scattered light signal, positive VSV-G expression signal and negative nucleic acid signal to the total number of particles in all particle populations with positive scattered light signal.
[0205] The particle population with positive scattered light signal, positive nucleic acid signal and negative VSV-G expression signal is the particle of the lentiviral vector lacking VSV-G containing nucleic acid; the calculation method of the titer of the lentiviral vector lacking VSV-G containing nucleic acid is the product of P3 and the concentration of the lentiviral vector product obtained in step 1), and the result is 1.15×10 8 TU / mL, where P3 is the percentage of the total number of points with positive scattered light signal, positive nucleic acid signal and negative VSV-G expression signal to the total number of particles in all particle populations with positive scattered light signal.
[0206] 5) Detection of the particle size distribution of the lentiviral vector product: Set the detection parameters as: laser detector 488 nm + 638 nm; single laser channel detection Laser: 10 / 50 mW 488; scattered light attenuation: 10 %; detection pressure: 1 kpa; signal type: small signal. Under this condition, use the scattered light channel; Fix the Sampling pressure at 1.0 kPa. Based on the data of the 68±2 nm, 91±3 nm, 113±3 nm, 155±3 nm particle size standard mixture tested under this condition, generate a fitting curve according to the Median value and Events value of the peaks shown by the particle size standards. For the data of the concentrated solution of the lentiviral vector product tested under the same detection parameters after dilution by 10 times, use the gating tool to define the target particle size distribution range, record the number of particles within the gate, the percentage of the number of particles within the gate, and the median value, average value and standard deviation of the particle size of the particles within the gate, and convert the single particle size value of the lentiviral vector product in combination with the fitting curve; After statistics, a histogram of the particle size distribution of the lentiviral vector product can be generated ( Figure 1 )
[0207] Comparative Example 1: Detection by p24 ELISA
[0208] Operate according to the p24 ELISA kit instructions:
[0209] 1) Gradient dilution of the HIV-1 p24 quantitative standard: Take the positive control containing 320 pg / mL of recombinant HIV-1 p24 antigen and serially dilute it in multiples with the diluent to obtain five concentrations of positive controls. Number the corresponding wells of the above samples in sequence. Each plate should have three negative control wells, two positive control wells and one blank well. Add 25 μL of lysis buffer to each reaction well.
[0210] 2) Dilute the concentrated solution of the lentiviral vector product by 105 Multiply by this factor to obtain Sample Solution 2. Add Sample Solution 2 and the reference substance described in Step 1) of Comparative Example 1 to the reaction wells containing the lysis solution, shake for 30 - 60 seconds to mix evenly, and incubate at 37°C for 1 hour; wash the plate 5 times, pat dry, then add 125 μL / well of the enzyme conjugate to each well (do not add to the blank well), and incubate at 37°C for 1 hour; wash the plate 5 times, pat dry, and then add 125 μL / well of the substrate (substrate solution: chromogenic solution = 1:1 mixture) to each well. Incubate at 37°C for 30 minutes, and then add 50 μL / well of the stop solution.
[0211] 3) Read the values using an enzyme - linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) reader at a wavelength of 450 nm.
[0212] 4) Positive quantitative determination: Based on the five - concentration positive controls in Step 1) of Comparative Example 1, plot a standard curve and substitute the test results of the lentiviral vector product for quantitative determination. The results are as Figure 3 shown.
[0213] 5) Calculate the p24 content (ng / mL) of the concentrated solution of the lentiviral vector product diluted 10 5 times and the lentiviral vector titer (based on 1 ng p24 = 1.25x10 5 TU) according to Step 4) of Comparative Example 1. The results show that the p24 content of the concentrated solution of the lentiviral vector product diluted 10 5 times is 19.3 pg / mL; that is, the titer of the lentiviral vector product is 19.3×10 2 ng / mL×1.25×10 5 TU / mL = 2.4×10 8 TU / mL.
[0214] Comparative Example 2: TCID 50 -GFP fluorescence protein fluorescence microscopy method
[0215] 1) Take the lentiviral vector product and dilute it starting from a 10 3 -fold dilution, for a total of 8 dilution gradients (with a 10 - fold difference between each gradient).
[0216] 2) Add 0.05 mL of each dilution gradient from Step 1) to the culture medium in a 96 - well plate containing 293T cells (2.5×10 6 cells / well) without serum and containing 8 mg / L Polybrene (for promoting infection). Add 10 wells for each dilution gradient, and allow the lentivirus to infect the 293T cells and culture the cells at 37°C for 2 days.
[0217] 3) After 2 days, observe under an inverted fluorescence microscope and calculate the number of wells showing green fluorescence in each row (10 wells). The results of the fluorescence microscope for the concentrated solution of the lentiviral vector product are as Figure 4As shown
[0218] 4) Calculate the titer of the lentiviral vector: It was found that green fluorescence was visible in all the wells in the row corresponding to the dilution before the 10-fold dilution, and no green fluorescence was visible in all the wells in the row corresponding to the dilution after the 10-fold dilution. At the 10-fold dilution, 3 positive wells were visible, and at the 10-fold dilution, 1 positive well was visible. The calculation formula is: 3 Before the 10-fold dilution, green fluorescence was visible in all the wells in the row corresponding to the dilution. After the 10-fold dilution, no green fluorescence was visible in all the wells in the row corresponding to the dilution. At the 10-fold dilution, 3 positive wells were visible, and at the 10-fold dilution, 1 positive well was visible. The calculation formula is: 6 After the 10-fold dilution, no green fluorescence was visible in all the wells in the row corresponding to the dilution. At the 10-fold dilution, 3 positive wells were visible, and at the 10-fold dilution, 1 positive well was visible. The calculation formula is: 4 At the 10-fold dilution, 3 positive wells were visible, and at the 10-fold dilution, 1 positive well was visible. The calculation formula is: 5 At the 10-fold dilution, 1 positive well was visible. The calculation formula is:
[0219] Infection titer T = 10 1 + d( s-0.5) / V.
[0220] Where d is the logarithm of the dilution ratio (i.e., when diluted 10-fold, d = 1); s is the sum of the logarithm of the initial dilution and the proportion of positive wells in each test dilution, i.e., 3 + 1 + 0.3 + 0.1 = 4.4; V is the inoculation volume of the lentiviral vector product diluent (i.e., V = 0.05 mL).
[0221] After calculation, the infection titer T of the lentiviral vector product = 1.6×10 6 TU / mL.
[0222] Example 2: Comparison of the results obtained in Example 1, Comparative Example 1, and Comparative Example 2
[0223] As Figure 5 shown. From the results, it can be seen that the virus titer of the concentrated solution of the lentiviral vector product measured by the p24 ELISA method is often overestimated due to the interference of free p24 and the fact that virus particles with p24 protein expression do not represent the specific ability of the virus particles to infect and integrate the genome into the host. In Example 1, Comparative Example 1, and Comparative Example 2 of this example, the virus titer of the concentrated solution of the lentiviral vector product measured by the p24 ELISA method was 2.4×10 8 TU / mL, which is similar to the sum of the titer of the lentiviral vector with nucleic acid and VSV-G and the titer of the lentiviral vector lacking VSV-G with nucleic acid in the lentiviral vector product (1.34×10 8 TU / mL + 1.15×10 8 TU / mL equals 2.49×10 8 TU / mL). Since the titer of the lentiviral vector lacking VSV-G with nucleic acid lacks infectivity, it also proves from the data level that the p24 ELISA method overestimates the actual virus titer. The result measured by the TCID 50 -GFP fluorescence microscopy method was 1.6×10 6 TU / mL, which is the same as the titer of the lentiviral vector with nucleic acid and VSV-G, which is 1.34×108 The viral titer of the concentrated solution of the lentiviral vector product measured by TU / mL and p24 ELISA was about 2 orders of magnitude lower than 2.4×10 8 TU / mL, indicating its underestimation of the true titer. It shows that the accuracy of using the titer of the lentiviral vector with nucleic acid and VSV-G as the measurement index of the true viral titer of the lentiviral vector composition is high.
[0224] Example 3: After double-labeling the VSVG antibody and P24 antibody conjugated with a fluorescent dye after treatment with a membrane permeabilizer, it was detected by a Nano Flow Cytometer
[0225] 1) Membrane permeabilizer treatment and dual optical labeling of lentiviral vectors
[0226] Take 50 μL of 1×10 10 TU / mL lentivirus, add 50 μL of 0.5× membrane permeabilizer (take the membrane permeabilizer (stock solution (20×)) diluted with water, and the membrane permeabilizer of other concentrations below is prepared in the same way), mix well, and incubate on ice for 30 min. Add 5 μL of FITC-P24 antibody (manufacturer: NanoFCM) and 20 μL of PE-Cy5-VSVG antibody (manufacturer: NanoFCM), mix well, and incubate in the dark on ice for 60 min. Resuspend the lentivirus with 1 ml of 0.5× membrane permeabilizer, centrifuge at 80000g for 30 min, and discard the supernatant. Resuspend the lentivirus with 1 ml of 0.5× membrane permeabilizer again, centrifuge at 80000g for 30 min, and resuspend the precipitate with 100 μL of PBS buffer to obtain the lentiviral vector after double labeling.
[0227] 2) Detection of the lentiviral vector after double labeling by Flow NanoAnalyzer
[0228] Flow NanoAnalyzer detection parameters: laser detector 488 nm + 638 nm; single laser channel detection Laser: 10 / 50mW 488; light scattering attenuation: 10%; detection pressure: 1 kPa; signal type: under the condition of small signal, use the FITC and PC5 fluorescence double channels.
[0229] Detection of the lentiviral vector after double labeling: The lentiviral vector after double labeling was detected by Flow NanoAnalyzer. The FITC fluorescence was used as the excitation signal of the P24 fluorescent antibody to characterize the capsid protein in the lentiviral vector, and the PC5 fluorescence characterized the fusogenic envelope G glycoprotein in the lentiviral vector. Analyze the detection results of the FITC fluorescence channel and the PC5 fluorescence channel, record the scatter plot of the detection results, and set the four-quadrant gate for the obtained scatter plot of the results. Among them,
[0230] The particle population with positive P24 expression signal and positive VSV-G expression signal is the particle of the lentiviral vector containing the capsid and VSV-G;
[0231] The particle population with positive VSV-G expression signal and P24 expression signal is the particle of the lentiviral vector lacking the capsid and containing VSV-G;
[0232] The particle with positive P24 expression signal and negative VSV-G expression is the particle of the lentiviral vector lacking VSV-G and containing the capsid.
[0233] The results of the fluorescent signal particle population are as Figure 6 shown in Table 1.
[0234] Comparative Example 3: After treatment with different concentrations of membrane permeabilizer, the VSVG antibody and P24 antibody conjugated with fluorescent dye were labeled and detected by a nano flow cytometer
[0235] According to the method provided in Example 3, the concentrations of the membrane permeabilizer were set to 0×, 1×, and 2× respectively.
[0236] The comparison results of the proportion of particles of the lentiviral vector containing the capsid and VSV-G obtained after treatment with different concentrations of the membrane permeabilizer are shown in Table 1.
[0237]
[0238] Comparative Example 4: After treatment with a membrane permeabilizer, the P24 antibody conjugated with fluorescent dye was labeled and detected by a nano flow cytometer
[0239] 1) Membrane permeabilizer treatment and optical labeling of the lentiviral vector
[0240] Take 50 μL of 1×10 10 TU / mL lentiviral vector, add 50 μL of 0.5× membrane permeabilizer, mix well, and incubate on ice for 30 min. Add 5 μL of FITC-P24 antibody (manufacturer: NanoFCM), mix well, and incubate in the dark on ice for 60 min. Resuspend the lentivirus with 1 ml of 0.5× membrane permeabilizer, centrifuge at 80000 g for 30 min, and discard the supernatant. Resuspend the lentivirus again with 1 ml of 0.5× membrane permeabilizer, centrifuge at 80000 g for 30 min, and resuspend the precipitate with 100 μL of PBS buffer to obtain the labeled lentiviral vector.
[0241] 2) Detection of the lentiviral vector after double labeling by Flow NanoAnalyzer
[0242] Detection parameters of Flow NanoAnalyzer: Laser detectors 488 nm + 638 nm; Single laser channel detection Laser: 10 / 50 mW 488; Scattered light attenuation: 10%; Detection pressure: 1 kpa; Signal type: Under the condition of small signal, the scattered light channel and the FITC fluorescence channel are used.
[0243] Detection of the labeled lentiviral vector: The labeled lentiviral vector was detected by Flow NanoAnalyzer. The FITC fluorescence was used as the excitation signal of the P24 fluorescent antibody to characterize the capsid protein in the lentiviral vector. The detection results of the FITC fluorescence channel were analyzed, and the scatter plot of the detection results was recorded. The obtained scatter plot of the results was set with a two-quadrant gate, where
[0244] The particle population with positive scattered light signal and positive P24 expression signal is the particle of the lentiviral vector containing the capsid;
[0245] The particle population with positive scattered light signal and negative P24 expression signal is the particle of the lentiviral vector lacking the capsid;
[0246] The results of the fluorescent signal particle population with positive scattered light signal are as Figure 7 shown.
[0247] Conclusion: In Example 3, Comparative Example 3, and Comparative Example 4, the particles of the lentiviral vector containing the capsid and VSV-G measured in Example 3 accounted for 41.5% of the total number of lentiviral vector particles; while in Comparative Example 3, the proportion of the particles of the lentiviral vector containing the capsid and VSV-G obtained by the treatment method with a membrane permeabilizer concentration of 0 accounted for only 14% of the total number of lentiviral vector particles, indicating that the membrane permeabilizer plays a key role in the detection of the capsid protein by penetrating the fluorescent dye into the lentiviral envelope. The particles of the lentiviral vector containing the capsid measured in Comparative Example 4 accounted for 62.3% of the total number of lentiviral vector particles. This data is significantly higher than the proportion of the lentiviral particles with both capsid and envelope in Example 3: 41.5% of the total number of lentiviral vector particles. Since the lentiviral vector lacking VSV-G is considered to be non-infectious, it is further proved from the data level that using p24 as a single index for determination overestimates the actual virus titer.
[0248] Example 4: After treatment with different concentrations of membrane permeabilizer, the lentiviral vector was labeled with an envelope dye and then detected by a nano-flow cytometer.
[0249] 1) Labeling of the lentiviral vector envelope with an envelope dye after treatment with a membrane permeabilizer
[0250] Take 1 μL of the DID membrane dye, dilute it 10 times, and prepare the DID membrane dye stock solution (prepared and used immediately). Add 50 μL of membrane permeabilizers with different concentrations and 10 μL of the DID membrane dye stock solution respectively, mix well, and incubate on ice for 30 min. Take 1 μL of the DID membrane dye stock solution and add it to 100 μl of the lentiviral vector with a concentration of 1×10 8 TU / mL, and mix well. Incubate in the dark at 37 °C for 15 min to obtain the labeled lentiviral vector treated with the membrane permeabilizer. Resuspend the lentiviral vector with 1 ml of the membrane permeabilizer, centrifuge at 80,000 g for 30 min, and discard the supernatant. According to the above method, set the membrane permeabilizer concentrations to 0×, 0.5×, 1×, and 2× to obtain the labeled lentiviral vectors treated with different concentrations of the membrane permeabilizer (the labeled lentiviral vector treated with 0× membrane permeabilizer, the labeled lentiviral vector treated with 0.5× membrane permeabilizer, the labeled lentiviral vector treated with 1× membrane permeabilizer, and the labeled lentiviral vector treated with 2× membrane permeabilizer).
[0251] 2) Detection of the lentiviral vector labeled with the envelope dye by Flow NanoAnalyzer
[0252] Flow NanoAnalyzer detection parameters: laser detectors 488 nm + 638 nm; single laser channel detection Laser: 10 / 50 mW 488; scattered light attenuation: 10 %; detection pressure: 1 kPa; signal type: under the condition of small signal, use the scattered light channel and the PC5 fluorescence channel.
[0253] Detection of the labeled lentiviral vector: Use Flow NanoAnalyzer to detect the labeled lentiviral vectors treated with different concentrations of the membrane permeabilizer obtained in step 1) of Example 4 respectively. The PC5 fluorescence is the excitation signal of the DID membrane dye, which is used to characterize the envelope in the lentiviral vector. Analyze the detection results of the PC5 fluorescence channel, record the scatter plot of the detection results, and set a two-quadrant gate for the obtained scatter plot of the results. Among them,
[0254] The particle population with positive scattered light signal and positive DID membrane dye signal is the particle of the lentiviral vector containing the envelope;
[0255] The particle population with positive scattered light signal and negative DID membrane dye signal is the particle of the lentiviral vector lacking the envelope;
[0256] The comparison results of the fluorescence signal particle populations with positive scattered light signals after treatment with different concentrations of the membrane permeabilizer are as Figure 8 shown.
[0257] Conclusion: In Example 4 of this embodiment, compared with the membrane permeabilizer concentrations of 0 and 0.5×, increasing the membrane permeabilizer concentration to 1× and 2× will significantly reduce the positive rate of DID membrane dye. It indicates that the membrane permeabilizer may cause a small part of the lentivirus to rupture; as the concentration of the membrane permeabilizer increases, the labeling ratio of the DID membrane dye slightly decreases, which further proves that using an appropriate concentration of the membrane permeabilizer in Example 3 is a key step to obtain accurate measurement results of lentiviral vector particles containing capsids and VSV-G.
[0258] Example 5: Detection with a Nano Flow Analyzer after labeling with a nucleic acid dye and a gB antibody conjugated with a fluorescent dye
[0259] 1) Dual optical labeling of herpes simplex virus vectors
[0260] Dilute the concentrated solution of the herpes simplex virus vector product 10-fold with PBS buffer to obtain Solution 1. Take 50 μL of Solution 1 and incubate it with 20 μL of AF647-Anti-Glycoprotein B of HSV (gB) antibody at 37 °C for 30 min, centrifuge at 100,000 g at 4 °C for 80 min, discard the supernatant, resuspend the precipitate with PBS buffer, centrifuge at 100,000 g at 4 °C for 20 min, discard the supernatant, and add 100 μL of PBS buffer containing 3 μM SYTO9 to resuspend the precipitate to obtain the dual-labeled herpes simplex virus vector.

[0263] Detection of the dual-labeled herpes simplex virus vector: Use Flow NanoAnalyzer to detect the dual-labeled herpes simplex virus vector obtained in Step 1) of Example 5. The PC5 fluorescence is the excitation signal of the nucleic acid dye used to characterize the g capsid glycoprotein in the slow herpes simplex virus vector, and the FITC fluorescence characterizes the nucleic acid of the herpes simplex virus vector in the slow herpes simplex virus vector. Analyze the detection results of the FITC fluorescence channel and the PC5 fluorescence channel, record the scatter plot of the detection results, and set a quadrant gate for the obtained scatter plot of the results. Among them,
[0264] The particle population with positive nucleic acid signals and positive gB expression signals is the herpes simplex virus vector particles containing nucleic acid and capsid;
[0265] The particle population with positive gB expression signal and negative nucleic acid signal is the particle of the empty capsid herpes simplex virus vector;
