Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of biotechnology and relates to an anti-norovirus monoclonal antibody and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Norovirus (NV), also known as norovirus, Norwalk virus, or pyocyanin virus, is a viral infection that causes nonbacterial acute gastroenteritis. It is particularly prone to infecting densely populated areas with poor sanitation, such as cruise ships. Norovirus is primarily transmitted through the fecal-oral route, when food is contaminated with fecal material. In densely populated areas, it can also be transmitted through respiratory droplets.

[0003] Noroviruses are divided into genogroups I and II based on their genetic makeup. Genogroup I includes norovirus, Southampton virus, and Desert Shield virus; genogroup II includes Snow Mountain virus, Hawaii virus, and Toronto virus. Common symptoms include abdominal pain, diarrhea, vomiting, low-grade fever, and generalized muscle aches. Symptoms typically resolve after 12 to 60 hours, but viral excretion can continue for about two weeks. Severe diarrhea can lead to dehydration and shock. Summary of the Invention

[0016] As used herein, the terms "sequence identity" and "identity" are synonymous and refer to the "percentage of sequence identity" or "percentage of identity" between two polynucleotides, i.e., the number of identical matching positions shared by the sequences within the comparison window, taking into account additions or deletions (i.e., gaps) that must be introduced for optimal alignment of the two sequences. A matching position is any position where the same nucleotide is present in both the target sequence and the reference sequence. Since a gap is not a nucleotide, a gap present in the target sequence is not counted. Similarly, since the target sequence nucleotides are counted and the nucleotides from the reference sequence are not counted, the gap present in the reference sequence is not counted. At least 60% sequence identity includes a continuous segment having at least 60%, at least 65%, at least 70%, at least 75%, at least 80%, at least 85%, at least 90%, at least 91%, at least 92%, at least 93%, at least 94%, at least 95%, at least 96%, at least 97%, at least 98%, at least 99% or 100% sequence identity over the full length of the sequence. "Percentage of sequence identity" can be calculated by comparing the two best aligned sequences in the window, determining the number of positions at which the same nucleic acid base (e.g., A, T, C, G, I) or the same amino acid residue (e.g., Ala, Pro, Ser, Thr, Gly, Val, Leu, Ile, Phe, Tyr, Trp, Lys, Arg, His, Asp, Glu, Asn, Gln, Cys, and Met) appears in the two sequences to obtain the number of matched positions, dividing the number of matched positions by the total number of positions in the comparison window (i.e., the window size), and multiplying the result by 100 to obtain the percentage of sequence identity.

[0017] As used herein, the term "antibody" is generally an immunoglobulin molecule consisting of two pairs of polypeptide chains, each pair having one light chain (LC) and one heavy chain (HC). Antibody light chains can be classified as kappa (κ) and lambda (λ) light chains. Heavy chains can be classified as μ, δ, γ, α, or ε, and define the antibody's isotype as IgM, IgD, IgG, IgA, and IgE, respectively. Within the light and heavy chains, the variable and constant regions are connected by a "J" region of approximately 12 or more amino acids, and the heavy chain may also include a "D" region of approximately 3 or more amino acids. Each heavy chain consists of a heavy chain variable region (VH) and a heavy chain constant region (CH). The heavy chain constant region consists of three domains (CH1, CH2, and CH3). Each light chain consists of a light chain variable region (VL) and a light chain constant region (CL). The light chain constant region consists of one domain, CL. The constant domain is not directly involved in the binding of antibodies to antigens, but exhibits a variety of effector functions, such as mediating the binding of immunoglobulins to host tissues or factors, including various cells of the immune system (e.g., effector cells) and the first component (C1q) of the classical complement system. The VH and VL regions can also be subdivided into regions with high variability (called complementarity determining regions (CDRs)), interspersed with more conserved regions called framework regions (FRs). Each VH and VL consists of three CDRs and four FRs arranged in the following order: FR1, CDR1, FR2, CDR2, FR3, CDR3, FR4 from the amino terminus to the carboxyl terminus. The variable regions (VH and VL) in each heavy chain and light chain respectively form the antigen binding site.

[0018] In some embodiments, the present invention provides "anti-Norovirus type 1 VP1 protein antibodies" that are monoclonal antibodies. A monoclonal antibody refers to an antibody obtained from a substantially homogeneous antibody population, i.e., the individual antibodies comprising the antibody population are identical except for possible naturally occurring mutations that may be present in minor amounts. The modifier "monoclonal" refers to the characteristic of the antibody as being obtained from a substantially homogeneous antibody population and is not to be construed as requiring production of the antibody by any particular method. For example, the monoclonal antibodies used in accordance with the present invention can be prepared by the hybridoma (murine or human) method first described by Kohler et al., Nature, 256:495 (1975), or can be prepared by recombinant DNA methods (see, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 4,816,567). "Monoclonal antibodies" can also be isolated from phage antibody libraries using, for example, the techniques described in Clackson et al., Nature, 352:624-628 (1991) and Marks et al., J Mol. Biol., 222:581-597 (1991). It should also be understood that certain embodiments of the present invention relate to compositions comprising more than one different monoclonal antibody that specifically binds to the VP1 protein, ie, polyclonal antibody compositions comprising a plurality of monoclonal antibodies with different epitope specificities.

[0025] As used herein, the term "vector" refers to the process of linking the isolated nucleic acid molecule to a vector, and may refer to the direct or indirect linkage of a nucleic acid sequence to regulatory elements on the vector, as long as these regulatory elements are capable of regulating the translation and expression of the nucleic acid molecule. These regulatory elements may be derived directly from the vector itself or exogenously, i.e., not derived from the vector itself. In other words, the nucleic acid molecule and the regulatory elements are operably linked. Commonly used vectors include prokaryotic expression vectors, eukaryotic expression vectors, viral expression vectors, and the like.

[0026] In some embodiments, the selection of a specific vector will depend on the target cell and the conditions being treated. Introduction can be by standard techniques such as infection, transfection, transduction or transformation.
