Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of biotechnology, and in particular relates to a monoclonal antibody and an application thereof. Background Art
[0002] The viruses that cause hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) belong to the Picornavirus family, Enterovirus genus, and include coxsackievirus A group types 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, and 16; group B group types 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 13; human enterovirus 71 (EV71); and echoviruses. Since the launch of the EV71 vaccine, HFMD has shifted to a co-circulation pattern among CVA5, CVA4, CVA6, CVA10, CVA16, and EV71, making them the six most prevalent serotypes. Multiple epidemiological studies have shown little or no cross-neutralization between serotypes, and therefore, a single-valent EV-A71 vaccine cannot protect against HFMD caused by other serotypes. Therefore, the development of a multivalent HFMD vaccine that includes CVA5 is crucial. Conformational neutralizing antibodies can better reflect the content and function of the virus. Therefore, the development of neutralizing monoclonal antibodies that target conformational epitopes and specifically recognize CVA5 is of great significance for the quality control of vaccine development, the detection of clinical samples and laboratory virus identification, and the study of the basic functions of CVA5.

[0081] Example 3 Purity and subtype identification
[0082] The purified monoclonal antibody 4D6 in Example 1 was taken and analyzed for purity by SDS-PAGE. The monoclonal antibody subtype was identified by mouse antibody subtype detection kit. Result analysis: SDS-PAGE results are shown in Figure 1 Under reducing conditions, two bands with molecular weights of approximately 70 kDa and 25 kDa were observed, corresponding to the heavy and light chains of the antibody, respectively. Isotype identification of monoclonal antibody 4D6 revealed IgM. The neutralizing antibody titer of monoclonal antibody 4D6, as determined by the microcytopathic effect inhibition assay, was 0.775 μg / mL.
[0083] Example 4 Functional Analysis
[0084] The functions of the screened 4D6 monoclonal antibodies were analyzed using indirect immunofluorescence assay and immunoblotting assay, as follows:
[0085] (1) Immunoblotting
[0086] The structural protein region of CVA5 recognized by the screened 4D6 monoclonal antibody was identified by immunoblotting as follows:
[0087] CVA5 stock solution was added to reducing and non-reducing loading buffers and heated at 100°C for 10 minutes for 4-20% SDS-PAGE. After electrophoresis, the membrane was transferred to a 0.45 μm nitrocellulose membrane using a rapid wet transfer apparatus (GenScript). After transfer, 2% BSA (W / V) in PBST blocking solution was added and blocked for 30 minutes. 4D6 was added and incubated at 37°C for 1 hour, followed by five washes with PBST. HRP-labeled goat anti-mouse IgM was added at a dilution of 1:10,000 and incubated at 37°C for 1 hour. The membrane was washed five times with PBST. Imaging was performed using a chemical exposure colorimeter. The antibody recognition results are shown in Figure 2. Figure 2 shown.
[0088] (2) Indirect immunofluorescence experiment
[0089] CVA5 cells were inoculated into 6-well plates with RD cells at a confluence of 95%. RD cells without virus infection served as a negative control and were cultured. After 24 h of incubation, the 6-well plates were incubated, the cell supernatant was discarded, and the cells were gently washed three times with 0.01 M PBS. 2 mL / well of 4% paraformaldehyde was added for fixation at room temperature for 1 h, and then washed five times with 0.01 M PBS for 5 min. 2 mL / well of 2% BSA-PBST (w / v) solution (containing 0.5% Triton-X 100, v / v) was added for permeabilization at room temperature for 30 min, and then washed five times with 0.01 M PBS for 5 min. Blocking was performed with 2% BSA-PBST solution at room temperature for 1 h, and the blocking solution was discarded. 1 mL / well of 2 μg / mL monoclonal antibody 4D6 was added and incubated for 1 h at room temperature, and then washed five times with 0.01 M PBS for 5 min. 1 mL / well of 2 μg / mL goat anti-mouse fluorescent antibody IgM (H+L) was added. (Abcam), incubated at room temperature for 1 hour in the dark, washed with PBS, and added 1 ml / well of 5µg / ml DAPI solution (Biyuntian); observed and photographed under a fluorescence microscope. The negative control group was cells not infected with CVA5 and added with the corresponding antibody. Figure 3 shown.
[0090] from Figure 3 As can be seen from the figure, 4D6 monoclonal antibody can be used in indirect immunofluorescence experiments to recognize CVA5 antigen and can be used in antigen identification experiments.
[0091] Example 5 Linear epitope research
[0092] (1) Neutralizing antibody titer detection (in vitro microneutralization test)
[0093] After purification, dilute the 4D6 monoclonal antibody to 800µg / mL and then dilute it 1:8 in diluent (such as MEM maintenance medium). Add 100µL / well to column 1 of a 96-well plate. Set up in duplicate, and add 50µL of diluent to each well in columns 2-12. Serially dilute the monoclonal antibody in column 1 by two-fold to column 12. Mix the dilutions thoroughly and discard 50µL from the last column. Dilute the neutralizing toxin (monoclonal strain CVA5-3487) to 100 CCID50 / 50µL. Pipette 50µL vertically and add it to the diluted antibody-containing 96-well plate. Place the 96-well plate in a 37°C incubator for 2 hours to neutralize. Then, serially dilute the diluted neutralizing toxin in a 10-fold series to 10 CCID50 / 50µL, 1 CCID50 / 50µL, and 0.1 CCID50 / 50µL. Add 50µL of maintenance solution and 50µL of virus solution to each well (a total of 4 dilutions, namely 100, 10, 1, and 0.1CCID50 / 50µL), and replicate 8 wells for each dilution to form a back titration plate, which was placed at 4°C. After neutralization, the digested RD cells were plated at 1×10 5Plate the cells at a density of 100 μg / ml in a neutralization plate and a back titration plate. Incubate at 37°C, 5% CO2 for 5-7 days to determine the neutralization results.
[0094] (2) Identification of linear epitopes
[0095] Indirect ELISA was used to characterize the binding ability of monoclonal antibody 4D6 to synthetic structural protein overlapping peptides. This preliminarily determined the peptides that the antibody recognized as linear epitopes. Synthetic peptides overlapping CVA5 structural protein VP1 were synthesized; the peptide sequences are shown in Table 1. Synthetic peptides were diluted to 4 µg / mL in carbonate buffer, and 100 µL was added to each well of the microplate. The plates were incubated at 4°C overnight. The plates were washed five times. Monoclonal antibody 4D6 was diluted to 10 µg / mL as the primary antibody, incubated at 37°C for 1 hour, and washed five times. HRP-goat anti-mouse IgM was diluted to 0.1 µg / mL as the secondary antibody, incubated at 37°C for 1 hour, and washed five times. After adding the colorimetric solution, the plates were incubated in a water bath for 30 minutes, and the absorbance at 450 nm was measured using a microplate reader.
[0096] Table 1 Overlapping peptides of CV-A5 structural protein VP1
[0097]
[0098] Based on the initially identified linear epitope peptides, a series of truncated peptides were synthesized and coated at a concentration of 4µg / mL for indirect ELISA. A peptide with single alanine mutations was synthesized from the amino acid sequence recognized by 4D6. The peptides were coated at a concentration of 4µg / mL for indirect ELISA.
[0099] The results are as follows Figure 4 It shows that monoclonal antibody 4D6 recognizes the 21st peptide segment of the CV-A5-VP1 linear epitope 155 VPPGAPVPTGRDTFQ 169 The results are as follows Figure 5 It was shown that the amino acid recognition of eight amino acids was confirmed in the truncated peptide library 158 GAPVPTGR 165 By alanine scanning such as Figure 6-7 The results showed that G158, V161, G164, and R165 were further identified as the key sites for monoclonal antibody binding and neutralization.
[0100] Example 6 Application of Monoclonal 4D6
[0101] This example provides a method for neutralizing antibody protection in vivo, as follows:
[0102] The CV-A5-3487-611 strain was titrated at the cellular level to detect the titer. Five groups of 14-day-old KM mice were used, with 10 mice in each group. The strain after titer determination was diluted 10-fold and 300µL was intraperitoneally inoculated into mice to detect virulence. The blank group was injected with an equal volume of MEM. The mice were observed for 14 consecutive days and the disease progression was recorded. The virus titer was calculated (combined with Figure 8-9 ).
[0103] Five groups of 14-day-old KM mice were used, with 10 mice in each group. Each of the five groups of mice was intraperitoneally injected with 300 μL of 3.16×10 7 CCID50 CV-A5-3487-611; purified and characterized monoclonal antibody 4D6 was diluted in sterile PBS to different concentrations of 600µg / mL, 200µg / mL, 66.67µg / mL, and 22.22µg / mL. Two hours later, each mouse was injected with 100µL of the antibody at four different dilutions. The health of the mice was observed for 14 consecutive days, and survival was recorded.
[0104] In the passive protection test in mice, a lethal dose of CV-A5-M14-611 virus (44LD50) was mixed and intraperitoneally injected into 14-day-old KM mice. Two hours later, different concentrations of monoclonal antibody 4D6 were intraperitoneally injected. At a dose of 20µg / mouse, monoclonal antibody 4D6 achieved a 100% protection rate. At a viral load of 3.16×10 7 At CCID50, the ED50 of mAb 4D6 against CV-A5-3487-M14-611 was 15.5µg.
