Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of monoclonal antibodies, and particularly relates to a human-mouse chimeric monoclonal antibody of NF186 protein, a product thereof and a method for detecting the NF186 protein. BACKGROUND

[0002] Neurofascin (NF) is a cell surface protein involved in the formation of nerve bundles discovered in vivo in chickens by Ranthjen et al. in 1987, which belongs to a cell adhesion molecule and plays a crucial role in the formation and maintenance of Ranvier nodes. Currently, there are five different NF polypeptide types reported, i.e. NF140, NF155, NF166, NF180 and NF186. Studies have shown that on the axons of mature neurons, NF186 maintains the stability of the neuron structure through interaction with the cytoskeletal component ankyrin G. In the peripheral nervous system, NF186 interacts with glial proteins in the matrix and Schwann cell microvilli to promote the attachment of axon-Schwann cell microvilli, that is, the main role of NF186 is to form a node complex as a molecular barrier to limit the diffusion and migration of proteins and molecules in the paranode to the node, thereby promoting the composition of the myelinated axon domain and the saltatory conduction of signals along the axon. Therefore, insufficient expression of NF186 will directly affect the insulation of the myelin paranode, and in multiple sclerosis patients, the distribution of ion channels in the corresponding axolemma of each myelin region is disordered, the Na + channel structure in the node is destroyed and cannot be aggregated, and the Kv1.2 channel originally located in the paranode crosses the paranode to the node, resulting in failure of rapid nerve conduction of myelinated fibers.

[0003] Currently, neurofascin-specific antibodies have been found in some autoimmune demyelinating diseases in humans, such as specific autoantibodies of NF155 and NF186 found in the blood or cerebrospinal fluid of multiple sclerosis patients and patients with acute and chronic inflammatory demyelinating neuropathy. The Chinese invention patent with publication number CN109734791A "Human NF186 antigen, human NF186 antibody detection kit and preparation method and application thereof" discloses the preparation of a kit for detecting NF186 autoantibodies. The "2022 version of Chinese expert consensus on diagnosis and treatment of chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy" points out that different items can be selected according to the clinical characteristics of patients to distinguish chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy from other diseases, and these items include detection of NF186 protein antibodies (Chinese Medical Association Neurology Branch, et al. 2022 version of Chinese expert consensus on diagnosis and treatment of chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy [J]. Chinese Journal of Neurology, 2023, 56(2): 125-132.).

[0004] In vitro diagnostic reagents, reference products are an important part of the quality control of detection systems, and enterprises use internal reference products for product research and development and production stage quality control. Common internal reference products include antibodies and antigens. The raw material sources of antibody internal reference products mainly have two ways: positive serum and humanized monoclonal antibody. Because the cost of obtaining positive serum is high, it is difficult to value and trace. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a positive control sample or a positive reference product that can replace patient positive serum, and a chimeric antibody or a humanized antibody can meet such a demand. However, the existing commercial NF186 antibody is a rabbit / mouse monoclonal antibody, and because the mouse / rabbit polyclonal antibody is directly purified from the serum of the immunized mouse / rabbit, there are certain differences between the immunized mice / rabbits at different times, and it is difficult to ensure that the antibody types of different batches are completely consistent. Moreover, the packaging specification of the commercial mouse / rabbit monoclonal antibody is small, and the price is expensive, and the long-term purchase cost is too high. Specifically, such antibodies have the following problems: (1) There are inevitable differences between different batches, and it is impossible to ensure that each batch has the same sensitivity; (2) The sequence of the monoclonal antibody is not disclosed, and it is impossible to form a low-cost, large-scale industrialized batch production; (3) The Fc region is a mouse / rabbit sequence, and cannot react with an antibody against human IgG.

[0055] Example 1 Preparation of murine monoclonal antibody

[0056] 1. Preparation of NF186 recombinant protein

[0057] The human NF186 gene sequence was searched from the GenBank sequence database, NCBI sequence number NM_001005388.3, and the gene sequence was synthesized into a pET30a vector by Jinweizhi Company, and the insertion site was EcoR I and Xba I, to obtain a NF186 recombinant vector. The constructed and sequenced recombinant vector plasmid was transformed into an E. coli Arctic Express (Agilent) competent cell; a single colony was picked and inoculated in LB medium, and the bacteria were shaken at 37°C to an OD 600 value of 0.5-1, and the final concentration of IPTG was 0.5 mM for induction, and the expression was performed at 16°C overnight; the bacterial cells were collected, ultrasonically broken, and the supernatant was collected after centrifugation. The NF186 protein expressed by the pET30a was purified by Ni-NTA (QIAGEN), and the purified protein was recorded as NF186 recombinant protein.

[0058] 2. Mouse antigen immunization

[0059] Three 6-8 week old female Balb / c mice were immunized with the NF186 recombinant protein prepared above, and the immunization was required for three times. The antigen amount used for the immunized mice was 40 μg per mouse. The first immunization was performed by mixing 40 μg of the antigen with Freund's adjuvant in the same volume, grinding to an oil-in-water emulsion, and intraperitoneally injecting 100 μL (40 μg of the antigen) of the mixed antigen. The second immunization was performed two weeks after the first immunization, and 40 μg of the antigen was mixed with incomplete Freund's adjuvant at a ratio of 1:1, and 100 μL (40 μg of the antigen) of the mixed antigen was intraperitoneally injected. The third immunization was performed two weeks after the second immunization, and the antigen injection dose, method, and route were the same as those of the second immunization. Two weeks later, the antigen was intraperitoneally injected for booster immunization, and the mouse tail blood was collected three days later for ELISA detection of the titer.

[0060] The specific detection process was as follows: the purified NF186 recombinant protein was coated with a carbonate buffer at pH 9.6 at 4°C overnight, 100 ng / well; the next day, PBST was washed for 3 times, 3 min each time, and dried; 2% BSA was fully blocked, 37°C incubation for 1 h; PBST was washed for 3 times, 3 min each time, and dried; the serum of the three mice was diluted with PBS, and the dilution was 1:50, 1:150, 1:450, 1:1350, 1:4050, 1:12150, 1:36450, and 1:109350, 100 μL was added to each well, 37°C incubation for 1 h, and PBST was washed for 3 times, 3 min each time, and dried; goat anti-mouse IgG-HRP was diluted at 1:5000 (product number 115-035-003, Jackson), 37°C incubation for 30 min. PBST was washed for 3 times, dried, TMB was colored for 10 min, 2M H2SO4 was used for termination, and the absorbance value was measured at 450 nm. The results are shown in Figure 1The results showed that according to the detection results, the titer of serum antibodies was integrated, and No. 3 mouse was selected for subsequent experiments.

[0061] 3. Culture of cell fusion and hybridoma

[0062] The animals were killed three days after intraperitoneal injection of antigen for booster immunization, and the spleen cells were taken for cell fusion. A 37°C water bath was prepared in a clean bench, and 5-6x10 7 The mouse myeloma cells SP2 / 0 cells and spleen cells in the logarithmic growth phase and in good growth condition were added to a 50 mL centrifuge tube at a ratio of 1:10, and mixed well. Centrifugation was performed at 500g for 10 min, and the supernatant was aspirated. The bottom of the centrifuge tube was tapped to slightly loosen the cell sediment. 1 mL of 45% PEG1450 solution pre-warmed to 37°C was slowly dropped in 90 s, and the centrifuge tube was constantly shaken. The whole process was in a 37°C water bath. Then DMEM medium was gradually added to the cell mixture, 1 mL was added dropwise in the first minute, 2 mL was added in the second minute, 3 mL was added in the third minute, 4 mL was added in the fourth minute, 5 mL was added in the fifth minute, and the shaking was performed in the 37°C water bath. Then 37°C incubation was performed for 15 min, centrifugation was performed at 500g for 5 min, and the supernatant was removed. 5 mL of DMEM medium containing HAT (thermo, item number: 21060017) was added, the sedimented cells were suspended, and finally DMED medium containing HAT was added to about 100 mL. The cells were dispensed into 96-well cell culture plates coated with macrophages, 100 μL / well, and then the culture plates were placed in a 37°C, 5% CO2 incubator for culture.

[0063] 4. Screening of positive hybridoma

[0064] ELISA detection was performed to select positive clones. The growth of hybridoma cells was observed, and after seven days when the cell culture supernatant turned yellow, an appropriate amount of cell supernatant was aspirated for ELISA detection of antibodies. According to the ELISA results, clones with high OD values, more than twice that of the negative control, were selected, plated in 96-well plates, and subjected to the first subcloning screening. After seven to ten days, ELISA detection of antibodies was performed again, and clones with high OD values were selected, plated in 96-well plates, and subjected to the second subcloning screening, so that there was about 1 cell per well. After seven to ten days of culture, ELISA detection of antibodies was performed again, and clones with high OD values were selected, plated in 96-well plates, and subjected to the third subcloning screening, so that there was about 1 cell per well. After three screenings, a clone with a good signal was preliminarily screened, and was named hybridoma 16F12. The supernatant of the cultured hybridoma 16F12 was diluted at 1:3, 1:9, 1:27, 1:81, 1:243, 1:729, 1:2187, and then used for ELISA detection of titer. At the same time, the supernatant of cells transfected with empty pCDNA3.1 was used as a control. The results are shown in Figure 2 Figure 2 ​It can be seen that the NF186 protein can be combined with the antibody in the supernatant of hybridoma 16F12, and does not react with the supernatant of cells transfected with empty pCDNA3.1. Therefore, the positive hybridoma secreting NF186 protein antibody is screened by ELISA method.

[0065] The positive hybridoma screened by ELISA is verified by indirect immunofluorescence method. Cell slide preparation overexpressing NF186 protein: by molecular biology method, NF186 gene is connected to pCDNA3.1 to obtain recombinant plasmid pCDNA3.1-NF186, and the recombinant plasmid is transfected into 293T cells (6cm*6cm cell slides have been placed in 10cm cell culture dishes in advance) with a cell density of 30%-40% using PEI transfection reagent (transfection reagent is purchased from thermo company, and transfection is carried out according to the instruction), 48h after transfection, add acetone to fix at 4℃ for 5min, wash with PBS for 2 times, dry, then cut the 6cm*6cm cell slide into 0.25cm*0.25cm size, and use it, and the cell slide transfected with empty pCDNA3.1 is used as control cell slide, and the preparation method is the same as that of the cell slide overexpressing NF186 protein. Dilute the supernatant of hybridoma 16F12 100 times as primary antibody, incubate on the cell slide overexpressing NF186 protein and the control cell slide, incubate at room temperature for 1h, wash with PBST for 3 times, 5min each time; incubate Alexa 594 labeled goat anti-mouse secondary antibody (Jackson) for 40min, wash with PBST for 3 times, 5min each time, take pictures under fluorescence microscope, and the results are shown in Figure 3 As shown in the results, compared with the control cell slide, the cell slide overexpressing NF186 protein combined with the antibody in the supernatant of hybridoma 16F12 produced obvious signal. Therefore, the antibody secreted by hybridoma 16F12 can not only recognize prokaryotic NF186 protein coated in ELISA plate, but also recognize NF186 protein expressed in eukaryotic cells.

[0066] 5. Identification of antibody typing

[0067] ​The identification of antibody typing was performed by indirect ELISA. The detailed procedure was as follows: purified NF186 protein (100 ng / well) was coated overnight, after blocking with 2% BSA, the supernatant of hybridoma 16F12 obtained in Example 1 was incubated at 37°C for 1 hour, washed with PBST for 3 times, then incubated with 1:5000 diluted different kinds of commercial HRP-labeled rabbit anti-mouse (total IgG, IgG1, IgG2a, IgG2b, IgG3, IgM, Ig kappa chain, Ig lambda chain) secondary antibody at 37°C for 30 min, washed with PBST for 3 times, and then developed with TMB for 5 min. The results of indirect ELISA showed that the heavy chain subtype of 16F12 antibody was IgG1, and the light chain subtype was kappa.

[0076] NF186 protein and NF155 protein are different types of nerve bundle proteins, and the amino acid sequence similarity of the two proteins is 89.72%, therefore, this embodiment investigates whether the NF186 protein human-mouse chimeric antibody prepared by the application can be used to distinguish NF155 protein and NF186 protein.

[0077] A recombinant vector pCDNA3.1-NF155 overexpressing NF155 (sequence number: NM_001160331.2) was constructed using molecular biology methods: the process of preparing overexpressing NF186 cell slides in Reference Example 1 was used to prepare overexpressing NF155 cell slides. The human-mouse chimeric antibody 16F12 purified in Example 3 was diluted to 1 mg / ml, then diluted at a ratio of 1:100 as a primary antibody to incubate on the cell slides overexpressing pCDNA3.1, overexpressing NF155, and overexpressing NF186, respectively, and the secondary antibody was incubated with FITC-labeled goat anti-human secondary antibody (jackson) to verify the specificity of the human-mouse chimeric antibody 16F12. It was found that the human-mouse chimeric antibody 16F12 could specifically bind to the NF186 protein, but not to the NF155 protein, indicating that the human-mouse chimeric antibody 16F12 prepared by the application could be used to distinguish NF186 protein and NF155 protein. Figure 5It can be known that the human-mouse chimeric monoclonal antibody 6F12 after modification can recognize the NF186 protein, and does not react with cell climbing sheets overexpressing pCDNA3.1 and NF155, so it can be known that the human-mouse chimeric antibody 16F12 has the ability to recognize the NF186 protein and good specificity.

[0078] 2, WB verifies the binding of the human-mouse chimeric monoclonal antibody of NF186 protein to the NF186 protein

[0079] The recombinant vector pCDNA3.1-NF186 is transferred into 1 dish (10 cm) of 293T cells with a cell density of 30%-40%, and the cells are collected after 48 hours, 200 μL of PBS is added, and ultrasonic crushing (crushing conditions: 10% power, crushing for 3s, stopping for 6s, and ultrasonic crushing for 1 min in total) is used as the protein sample for WB; the cells transfected with empty pcDNA3.1 are used to prepare a control protein, and the preparation method is the same as above.

[0080] The prepared NF186 protein and the control protein are subjected to electrophoresis, and the sample amount is 1 μg / well; after the electrophoresis is completed, wet transfer is used, the transfer conditions are 200 mA, 60 min, 5% skimmed milk powder is blocked at room temperature for 1 h, 1:3000 diluted commercial NF186 antibody (ab31457 of abcam) and 1:1000 diluted human-mouse chimeric antibody 16F12 (the final concentration is 1 μg / ml) are respectively incubated at room temperature for 2 h, and TBST is washed for 3 times, each time for 5 min; the membrane piece incubated with the commercial antibody is added with HRP-labeled goat anti-rabbit secondary antibody (Jackson), the membrane piece incubated with the human-mouse chimeric antibody 16F12 is added with HRP-labeled goat anti-human secondary antibody (Jackson), and incubation is carried out at room temperature for 1 h, TBST is washed for 3 times, each time for 5 min; chemical luminescence solution is added for color development and photography, and the results are as shown in Figure 6 It can be known that on the WB, the commercial NF186 antibody and the human-mouse chimeric antibody 16F12 can recognize the NF186 protein. Figure 6

[0081] It can be known from the results of Figure 5 and Figure 6 that the human-mouse chimeric antibody 16F12 prepared in the application can recognize both the conformational epitope NF186 protein and the linear epitope NF186 protein.

[0082] 3, Comparison of signals generated by the human-mouse chimeric antibody of NF186 protein and positive serum by indirect immunofluorescence method

[0083] ​Take the over-expressed NF186 cell slides prepared in Example 1, incubate with 3 NF186 antibody positive patient sera respectively and the NF186 protein human-mouse chimeric antibody 16F12 obtained in Example 3 of the present application, and incubate the secondary antibody with FITC-labeled goat anti-human IgG secondary antibody (Jackson), and the staining results are shown in Figure 7 Figure 7 It can be seen that the NF186 protein human-mouse chimeric antibody 16F12 can not only recognize the over-expressed NF186 antigen and bind the antibody of anti-human IgG, but also produce a signal pattern similar to the NF186 antibody positive serum. Therefore, the human-mouse chimeric antibody NF186 of the present application, on the one hand, can be expressed and purified on a large scale, and a large amount of antibody can be obtained at a lower cost at one time, and the batch difference and batch difference can be controlled and kept consistent; on the other hand, it can replace the positive serum of NF186 protein as the quality control / control / calibration of the diagnostic kit, to identify the over-expressed NF186 protein cell slides / coated with NF186 protein carrier NF186 protein in the kit. At the same time, in view of the fact that the signal pattern produced by the binding of the NF186 protein human-mouse chimeric antibody 16F12 and the over-expressed NF186 cell slides is similar to the signal pattern produced by the positive serum, a large number of fluorescence pictures can be obtained through multiple experiments, enriching the picture library of NF186 protein antibody positive, providing a large number of different signal styles for the development of the immunofluorescence image automatic processing system, and improving the accuracy of automatic interpretation.
