Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of biotechnology, specifically relating to anti-RF antibodies or their functional fragments and their applications.

[0002] This invention claims priority to application No. 202311056555.3, filed on August 22, 2023, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Background Technology

[0003] With the rapid technological advancements of domestic in vitro diagnostic reagent manufacturers, the development of in vitro diagnostic reagent kits in China is increasing. Immunodiagnosis has become a mainstream diagnostic technology. The most crucial factor in producing highly sensitive and specific reagents is selecting antibodies or antigens with highly specific binding to target molecules. However, in actual immunoassays, patient samples contain various endogenous interfering substances, such as rheumatoid factor (RF), heterophile antibodies (Id), human anti-animal antibodies (HAAA), and drugs and their metabolites. These endogenous interfering substances can lead to false positives or false negatives in diagnosis. Therefore, improving reagents and correctly blocking endogenous interfering substances is essential to obtaining accurate clinical results from diagnostic reagents.

[0004] Blockers are a class of materials used in the development of in vitro diagnostic reagents to reduce the influence of endogenous interfering substances from patient samples. Blockers are divided into passive blockers and active blockers. Passive blockers involve adding heterologous animal IgG, which competitively binds to interfering antibodies. Active blockers involve adding a component that specifically, actively, and efficiently neutralizes interfering antibodies, thereby blocking unintended binding. Market feedback indicates that passive blockers are used in large quantities, but their effectiveness is not significant. Considering current market demand, active blockers are the preferred choice.

[0005] Rheumatoid factor (RF) is an antibody produced in the body in response to infectious agents (bacteria, viruses, etc.), using denatured IgG as the antigen; hence, it is also called an anti-antibody. Common types of rheumatoid factor include IgM, IgG, IgA, and IgE. Rheumatoid factor is ubiquitous in the human body and plays a certain physiological role. It is mainly found in the serum and synovial fluid of patients with rheumatoid arthritis, primarily in the IgM form. Human anti-mouse antibodies (HAMAs) are among the most challenging anti-animal antibodies for immunological detection and have received the most attention to date, largely due to the widespread use of monoclonal antibody drugs. HAMAs are anti-antibodies, including IgG, IgM, IgA, and a small amount of IgE. They include idiotype antibodies, allotype antibodies, and anti-anti-idiotype antibodies. Idiotype antibodies can bind to the Fab fragment of immunoglobulins. 80% of HAMAs are anti-idiotype antibodies. Preparing active blocking agents to block the effects of endogenous interfering substances such as rheumatoid factor (RF) and human anti-mouse antibodies (HAMAs) on immunoassay reagents has become a key to improving the performance of reagent products. Summary of the Invention

[0006] This invention provides an anti-RF antibody or its functional fragment that can specifically bind to RF and also has affinity for HAMAs, thereby simultaneously reducing or eliminating the interference of RF and HAMAs on antigen-antibody detection.

[0007] Specifically as follows:

[0016] And the LCDR3 is as shown in SEQ ID NO:8.

[0017] In this paper, the terms "variable region" or "CDR" refer to the highly variable region of the heavy and light chains of an immunoglobulin, which contains one or more or even all of the major amino acid residues that contribute to the binding affinity of an antibody or antigen-binding fragment to the antigen or epitope it recognizes.

Commonly used CDR labeling methods in the art include the Kabat numbering scheme, the IMGT numbering scheme, the Chothia and Lesk numbering scheme, and the new standardized numbering system introduced by Lefranc et al. in 1997 for all protein sequences of the immunoglobulin superfamily. Kabat et al. were the first to propose a standardized numbering scheme for immunoglobulin variable regions. Over the past few decades, the accumulation of sequences has led to the creation of the Kabat database, and the Kabat numbering scheme is generally considered the widely adopted standard for numbering antibody residues.

[0019] In this article, the "backbone region" or "FR" region includes the heavy chain backbone region and the light chain backbone region, which refers to the region in the antibody heavy chain variable region (which can be represented as VH) and light chain variable region (which can be represented as VL) excluding the CDR. The heavy chain backbone region is represented by "HFR" and can be further subdivided into adjacent regions separated by CDR, including the HFR1, HFR2, HFR3 and HFR4 backbone regions; the light chain backbone region is represented by "LFR" and can be further subdivided into adjacent regions separated by CDR, including the LFR1, LFR2, LFR3 and LFR4 backbone regions.

[0020] Preferably, the antibody or its functional fragment further comprises the backbone regions HFR1, HFR2, HFR3, and HFR4 of the heavy chain variable region, and the backbone regions LFR1, LFR2, LFR3, and LFR4 of the light chain variable region.

[0022] The HFR2 is an amino acid sequence as shown in EQ ID NO:10 or an amino acid sequence having at least 80% homology with it;

[0023] The HFR3 is an amino acid sequence as shown in EQ ID NO:11 or an amino acid sequence having at least 80% homology with it;

[0024] The HFR4 is an amino acid sequence as shown in EQ ID NO:12 or an amino acid sequence having at least 80% homology with it;

[0028] The LFR4 is an amino acid sequence as shown in EQ ID NO:16 or an amino acid sequence that has at least 80% homology with it.

[0066] Example 1: Preparation of mouse monoclonal antibodies against human endogenous interferon

[0067] 1. Immunogen preparation

[0068] First, ammonium sulfate is used to fractionate and precipitate human serum, based on the different solubilities of different proteins in a salt solution of a certain concentration, separating impurities and IgM antibodies. Then, molecular sieves are used to separate antibodies of different sizes based on the different pore sizes of the gel, separating different types of antibodies from the crude ammonium sulfate extract to obtain human IgM antibodies as immunogens.

[0069] 2. Mouse immunization and antibody detection

[0070] Five 6-8 week old SPF-grade female BALB / c mice were selected. Freund's complete adjuvant and human IgM at a concentration of 2 mg / ml were mixed in equal volumes and emulsified. The emulsified antigen was used to immunize the 6-8 week old SPF-grade female BALB / c mice, with each mouse receiving 40 μg of immunogen via paw injection. Two weeks after the initial immunization, the antigen protein was mixed with Freund's incomplete adjuvant and emulsified, and 40 μg of antigen protein was injected again into each mouse via paw injection or subcutaneous injection in the back. Two weeks later, blood was collected via tail vein, the supernatant was collected by centrifugation, and serum titer was detected by ELISA. Immunization was repeated every two weeks, and serum titer was measured. After two immunizations, the serum titer, after a million-fold dilution, was higher than 2.0. A serum titer of 10 was selected for screening. 6 Lymphocytes were isolated from the mice mentioned above for cell fusion.

[0071] C. Cell fusion and screening and subcloning of positive hybridoma cells

[0072] Antibody screening protocol is crucial for the successful development of the antibody of this invention. Lymphocytes from immunized mice were isolated and fused with cultured SP2 / 0 cells via PEG1500-mediated fusion or electrofusion. The fused cells were cultured in HAT-1640 medium containing 20% ​​FBS serum for screening. After one week, the medium was changed, and after another four days of culture, the culture supernatant was used for positive clone screening. Human IgM immunogen was used for screening positive wells. Wells with a high ELISA positive value to cell number ratio were selected for multiple subcloning. ELISA plates were coated with human IgM immunogen. The culture supernatant of the subclones was used to screen for monoclonal clones that showed affinity under antigen-coated conditions. The monoclonal hybridoma cell line with the highest affinity was selected, ultimately yielding a hybridoma cell line with a high antibody titer that secretes monoclonal antibodies against the human IgM immunogen, named Blocker-1.

[0073] 4. Production and purification of monoclonal antibodies

[0074] A group of 6-8 week old BALB / c mice were selected and injected intraperitoneally with 500 μL of paraffin oil to suppress the immune response. One week after injection, 0.5 ml of Blocker-1 hybridoma cells (approximately 1 × 10⁻⁶ cells) were injected intraperitoneally into the mice. 6 Quantity. Ascites fluid collection began two weeks later. The collected ascites fluid was purified by ammonium sulfate precipitation and protein G affinity purification to obtain the target antibody.

[0075] 5. Identification of monoclonal antibody subtypes and cloning of gene sequences

[0076] The heavy and light chain isotypes of monoclonal antibodies were identified using the Southern Biothech SBA Clonotyping System-HRP kit, following the manufacturer's instructions. The specific procedures were as follows:

[0077] 1. Dilute the capture antibody to 1 μg / mL with coating buffer (0.05 M pH 9.5 carbonate and bicarbonate buffer), add 100 μL / well to the microplate, and coat overnight at 4°C. Wash the plate three times with PBS buffer containing 0.05% Tween-20 (wash buffer).

[0078] 2. Dilute the culture supernatant of the hybridoma cells to be tested 1:1 with diluent (1% BSA, 0.1% PBST), add 100 μL / well to the ELISA plate, and incubate at 37°C for 30 minutes. Dilute the corresponding enzyme-labeled antibodies (Ig-HRP, IgG1-HRP, IgG2a-HRP, IgG2b-HRP, IgG3-HRP, IgM-HRP, kappa-HRP, lambda-HRP) 1:3000 with diluent.

[0079] 3. After washing the plate three times with washing buffer, add 100 μL of diluted enzyme-labeled antibody to each well and incubate at 37°C for 30 minutes. After washing three more times, add chromogenic buffer and incubate for approximately 5 minutes (depending on the reaction strength). Then, add 2M sulfuric acid to terminate the reaction and read the OD450 absorbance. The obtained murine monoclonal antibody against human endogenous interferon was identified as having an IgG1 heavy chain and a Kappa light chain. Based on the antibody subtype results, the antibody gene sequence was cloned using a RACE-based method. Hybridoma cells in good growth condition were collected, and total RNA was obtained from the hybridoma cells using a total RNA extraction kit. The mRNA was reverse transcribed into cDNA according to the Takara SMARTer RACE instructions, and the full-length sequence of the target antibody was amplified.

[0080] Example 2 Antibody Performance Verification

[0081] (1) Interaction between antibody and human IgM

[0082] This embodiment verifies the binding performance of the antibody of the present invention through the interaction between the antibody and human IgM.

[0083] The specific operating steps are as follows: Dilute the antibody to 1 μg / mL using coating buffer (0.05 M pH 9.5 carbonate and bicarbonate buffer) and coat it onto a standard 96-well ELISA plate. Modify the purified human IgM with biotinylation reagent (commercially available). Dilute the biotinylated human IgM to the target concentrations (0.3 ng / ml, 0.8 ng / ml, 2.5 ng / ml, ..., 200 ng / ml). Add 100 μl of the specific concentration of human IgM to each well coated with the target antibody and incubate at 37°C for 30 min. After washing the plate with washing buffer (150 mM NaCl solution containing 0.05% Tween-20), add 100 μl of a 1:5000 dilution of streptavidin-horseradish peroxidase conjugate (commercially available) to each well and incubate at 37°C for 15 min. Finally, the sample was incubated with ELISA colorimetric solution and the OD450 absorbance was detected using a microplate reader.

[0084] The results are shown in Table 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the results of the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) were used to detect the interaction between the antibody and purified human IgM. The horizontal axis indicates the antibody concentration used, and the vertical axis indicates the ELISA result, specifically the absorbance value (OD450) detected by the spectrophotometer at 450 nm. A higher OD450 value indicates a stronger detected interaction. The results indicate a strong interaction between the antibody and human IgM, and the antibody of this invention is suitable for blocking endogenous interfering substances in humans.

[0088] Example 3: Application of Blocker-1 antibody in fPSA chemiluminescence detection kit

[0089] Blocker-1 antibody was prepared into a 20 μg / ml working solution using reagent R1. After thorough mixing, the reagent was placed into the R1 chamber of the reagent bottle. No Blocker-1 antibody was added to the blank group, while the control group received a 20 μg / ml working solution of control antibody prepared using reagent R1. Working solution R2 was placed into the R2 chamber of the reagent bottle, and magnetic bead working solution was placed into the magnetic bead chamber. The blocking effect of Blocker-1 antibody in the fPSA chemiluminescence assay kit on endogenous interference samples containing HAMAs and RF was tested using a fully automated chemiluminescence immunoassay analyzer, as shown in Table 2. Comparison with the blank and control groups revealed that Blocker-1 antibody had a significant blocking effect on clinical samples containing HAMAs and RF, and its performance was significantly superior to the control.
