Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of biomedical technology, and in particular to a formula of influenza virus maintenance solution, a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] DMEM / F-12 (DuLbecco's Modified Eagle Medium / Nutrient Mixture F-12) is a widely used basal medium that can be used to support the growth of many different types of mammalian cells after the addition of serum. Cells that have been successfully cultured in DMEM / F-12 include MDCK, glial cells, fibroblasts, human endothelial cells, and rat fibroblasts.

[0003] DMEM / F-12 is a 1:1 mixture of DMEM and Ham's F-12. This formula contains the high concentration of glucose, amino acids, and vitamins of DMEM and the various components of F-12. However, DMEM / F-12 does not contain proteins, lipids, or growth factors.

[0004] Human influenza is a disease caused by influenza virus infection of humans, which can lead to millions of severe cases and hundreds of thousands of deaths each year. It is extremely harmful to human health and has become one of the important public health issues of global concern. At present, human influenza vaccines are mainly used internationally, including subunit vaccines of purified live viruses, inactivated viruses or recombinant viruses. Due to the strong mutation ability of influenza viruses and the influence of factors such as the blocking effect of human antibodies, there are differences between existing vaccine strains and prevalent strains, which reduces the immune effect and protection rate of vaccines. The commonly used method is to use whole genome sequencing technology to determine the antigenicity of newly isolated influenza viruses, and it takes a long time to develop new vaccines based on this.

[0005] The liquid used for virus culture is usually called virus culture medium or virus maintenance medium. Its composition and preparation method directly determine the survival of cells and whether a sufficient number of virus particles with infection and replication ability can be obtained. Virus maintenance medium usually uses serum-free basic culture medium such as DMEM, MEM, DMEM / F-12, M199, 1640, etc. These basic culture media have different effects on influenza virus culture and there is a lot of room for improvement.

[0079] Experimental Example 1

[0080] The influenza virus maintenance solution of Example 2 was used to culture influenza B virus Bv, influenza B virus By, influenza A virus H1N1 and influenza A virus H3N2 (the viruses were all purchased from NIBSC, the same below);

[0081] Establish ELISA quantitative detection kits for IVR-215 (H1N1), SAN-010 (H3N2), BVR-26 (Bv), and B / Phuket / 3073 / 2013 (By) strains;

[0082] Five mice (MF59 adjuvant) and one rabbit (Freund's adjuvant) were immunized with the subunit antigen of each virus strain. Rabbit serum was used as capture antibody and mouse serum as detection antibody. ELISA detection system was established.

[0083] Rabbit serum and mouse serum: According to the standards, rabbit immune sera and mouse immune sera were extracted and purified respectively and set aside.

[0084] Specific: 1. Prepare female New Zealand rabbits weighing 2-3 kg, 4-5 months old.

[0085] 2. Use Freund's complete adjuvant for the first time, and Freund's incomplete adjuvant for the second and third time. The interval between each immunization is 2 weeks. Inject subcutaneously at multiple points on the back and groin of the rabbit, 1 ml per rabbit, and generally inject 5 to 7 subcutaneous points.

[0086] 3. Record a free time.

[0087] 4. Record the second free time.

[0088] 5. Record the three free times.

[0089] 6. One week after the third immunization, whole blood was collected from the carotid artery or heart of the four rabbits. The time of blood collection was recorded.

[0090] 7. After blood collection, serum can be separated by placing the blood at 37°C for 30-60 minutes to coagulate. The blood clot is separated from the surface of the collector and placed at 4°C overnight to shrink the blood clot. The blood clot should be suspended as much as possible overnight, and the serum is collected by gravity. The next day, centrifuge at 3000rpm*10min, remove the serum, and water bath at 56°C for 30min.

[0091] 8. After the serum is filtered through a 0.45 μm filter membrane, IgG antibodies are purified using a 5 ml Protein G affinity chromatography column.

[0092] 9. Purify mouse serum and rabbit serum according to the purification steps, and record the volume information, time information, and solution preparation information.

[0093] Mouse serum purification:

[0094] 10. Prepare the following solution required for purification:

[0095] (1) 10X binding / washing buffer: 2 mol / L sodium phosphate buffer, pH 7.4; [1.5 M NaCl, 200 mM Na2HPO4, pH 7.4] (2) Binding / washing buffer: 200 mmol / L sodium phosphate buffer, pH 7.4; [0.15 M NaCl, 20 mM Na2HPO4, pH 7.4] (3) Elution buffer: 100 mmol / L citric acid buffer, pH 2.6; [0.1 M citric acid, pH 2.5-3.0] (4) Neutralization buffer: 1 mol / L Tris-HCl solution; (5) Dialysis buffer: 10 mmol / L PBS, pH 7.4.

[0096] 11. Dialysis bag treatment: (1) Cut the dialysis bag into small pieces of appropriate length (10-20cm). (2) Boil the dialysis bag in a large volume of 2% (W / V) sodium bicarbonate and 1mmol / L EDTA (pH8.0) for 10 minutes. (3) Rinse the dialysis bag thoroughly with distilled water. (4) Boil it in 1mmol / L EDTA (pH8.0) for 10 minutes. (5) After cooling, store it at 4 degrees. Make sure that the dialysis bag is always immersed in the solution. From this point on, gloves must be worn when handling the dialysis bag. (6) Fill the dialysis bag with water before use and then drain it to clean it.

[0097] 12. AKTA protein purification system operation steps: (1) It is recommended to filter the water and buffer with a 0.22μm or 0.45μm filter membrane before use. (2) Sample preparation: Before loading, ensure that the sample solution has the appropriate ionic strength and pH value. The serum can be diluted 1:1 with binding / washing buffer or added to the binding / washing buffer and dialyzed overnight. (3) Add 10X binding buffer to the serum to be purified at a serum:buffer volume ratio of 9:1, adjust the serum pH to 7.4, and aspirate into a 5mL sterile syringe. (4) Take the Protein G affinity chromatography column out of the refrigerator, equilibrate to room temperature, and connect it to the purification system. (5) Cleaning of purification pipelines and chromatography columns: Place tubes A and B in injection water, flush the pipelines to drain the preservation solution, and continue to flush 5 times the column volume. Place tube A in the binding buffer and tube B in the elution buffer. Set the parameter to "InletA" and the system flow rate to 15 mL / min. Add about 3 times the column volume of buffer to flush the chromatography column and observe whether the pressure is abnormal or whether bubbles are generated; change the column position to "by pass" and flush the peripheral pipeline with the same flow rate of about 3 times the column volume of buffer. (6) Set the parameter to "Inlet B" and the system flow rate to 5 mL / min. Flush the chromatography column and pipeline with 100% B elution buffer and let about 3 times the column volume of elution buffer flow. (7) Equilibration of the chromatography column: Switch the parameter back to "Inlet A" and the system flow rate to 5 mL / min to allow the binding buffer to equilibrate the chromatography column. Observe that the pH is stable at 7.4 and the UV absorbance baseline remains stable, then switch back to "by pass" and equilibrate the peripheral pipeline. (8) Set the purification program: the sample volume is 5 mL, the binding solution volume is 20 mL, the elution solution volume is 10 mL, the system flow rate is 5 mL / min, and the program is started. (9) Observe the peak graph. When the pH value begins to decrease and the UV absorbance value increases rapidly, use a clean 15 mL centrifuge tube to collect the sample at the elution peak. Discard the peak before and after the peak appropriately. Generally, UV80 is used as the boundary, and the peak greater than UV80 is collected. (10) Rinse the chromatography column and pipeline with 5 column volumes of binding buffer and balance the pH to 7.4. If the sample is loaded again, repeat steps ④ to ⑧. (11) In-situ cleaning: Use 3 column volumes of binding / washing buffer, 5 column volumes of deionized water, and 5 column volumes of 20% ethanol to wash the resin in sequence. Remove the chromatography column and store it at 2-8°C, away from the frost side to avoid freezing. (12) Attach the peak graph, save the electronic file, and print the paper file. Turn off the purification system. (13) Immediately add neutralization buffer to the collected sample to adjust the pH to 7.4 [monitored by pH test paper] and mix well. (14) Transfer the antibody to a dialysis bag and dialyze it in 2L PBS buffer at 4°C overnight, changing the dialysis solution every 4 hours for 3 times.

Place tube A in the binding buffer and tube B in the elution buffer. Set the parameter to "Inlet A" and the system flow rate to 15 mL / min. Add about 3 times the column volume of buffer to flush the chromatography column and observe whether the pressure is abnormal and whether bubbles are generated; change the column position to "by pass" and flush the peripheral pipeline with the same flow rate of about 3 times the column volume of buffer. (6) Set the parameter to "Inlet B" and the system flow rate to 5 mL / min. Flush the chromatography column and pipeline with 100% B elution buffer, and let about 3 times the column volume of elution buffer flow. (7) Equilibration of the chromatography column: Switch the parameter back to "Inlet A" and the system flow rate to 5 mL / min to allow the binding buffer to equilibrate the chromatography column. Observe that the pH is stable at 7.4 and the UV absorbance baseline remains stable, then switch back to "by pass" again to equilibrate the peripheral pipeline. (8) Set up the purification program: the sample volume is 5 mL, the binding liquid volume is 20 mL, the elution liquid volume is 10 mL, the system flow rate is 5 mL / min, and start the program. (9) Observe the result peak graph. When the pH value begins to decrease and the ultraviolet absorbance value increases rapidly, use a clean 15 mL centrifuge tube to collect the sample at the elution peak. Discard the samples before and after the peak appropriately. Generally, UV80 is used as the boundary, and the peak greater than UV80 is collected. (10) Rinse the chromatography column and pipes with 5 column volumes of binding buffer, and balance the pH to 7.4. If the sample is loaded again, repeat steps ④ to ⑧. (11) In-place cleaning: Use 3 column volumes of binding / washing buffer, 5 column volumes of deionized water, and 5 column volumes of 20% ethanol to wash the resin in sequence. Remove the chromatography column and store it at 2-8°C, away from the frost side to avoid freezing. (12) Attached peak graph as shown Figure 3-10 , save the electronic file and print the paper file. Turn off the purification system. (13) Immediately add neutralization buffer to the collected sample to adjust the pH to 7.4 [pH test paper monitoring] and mix well. (14) Transfer the antibody to a dialysis bag and dialyze it in 2L PBS buffer at 4℃ overnight, changing the dialysis solution every 4h, and change the solution 3 times.
