Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of immune detection, and particularly relates to a hybridoma cell strain secreting alpha-tocopherol monoclonal antibody and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Vitamin E (VE), also known as tocopherol, was first discovered in 1992. VE has eight forms, including α, β, γ, and δ tocotrienols, all of which have VE biological activity. Among them, α-tocopherol has the greatest biological activity. α-Tocopherol is insoluble in water, heat-resistant, and is destroyed by oxygen, ultraviolet rays, and alkali. In infants aged 1-11 months, the average α-tocopherol intake for girls is 2.9-4.9 mg / day, and for boys is 3.2-5.4 mg / day. Wheat germ oil and sunflower seeds are the best sources of VE. Meat, eggs, dairy products, fish, seafood, grains, green leafy vegetables, and nuts are good sources of VE. VE is an intracellular antioxidant that delays the rancidity of fatty acids in the digestive tract of plants and animals and protects cells from damage by toxic unsaturated fatty acid peroxides. In addition to its antioxidant physiological effects, VE can also maintain the integrity of red blood cells and protect the male reproductive system. VE is also related to nucleic acid metabolism, coenzyme Q synthesis, hormone synthesis, and vitamin C synthesis. VE deficiency can cause nerve and muscle damage, leading to loss of sensation in the arms and legs, loss of control over body movements, muscle weakness, vision degeneration, and a weakened immune system. Therefore, it is necessary to invent a technology to measure VE in food.

[0003] At present, the main methods for determining vitamin E are chromatographic analysis, microbiological analysis, sensor analysis, and immunoassay. Among them, chromatographic analysis has the characteristics of high sample throughput, high analysis efficiency, high sensitivity and good selectivity, and can quantify the target by special monitoring of multiple fragment ions. However, chromatographic analysis requires expensive instruments and has certain requirements on the operator's skills. Microbiological analysis can achieve high-throughput detection. However, the cultivation time is long, which wastes time. Sensors have made great progress in the detection of vitamins, but still face the problems of high instrument cost, susceptibility to food matrix, and difficulty in rapid on-site detection. Based on the specific reaction between antigens and antibodies, immunoassay has become a potential alternative method for determining vitamins, and its core is specific antibodies. Therefore, the present invention is proposed. Summary of the invention

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0035] In order to make the content of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below according to specific embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, wherein

[0036] Figure 1 This is the standard inhibition curve of the α-tocopherol monoclonal antibody of the present invention against α-tocopherol. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0037] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments so that those skilled in the art can better understand the present invention and implement it, but the embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0038] The scheme of the present invention is as follows:

[0039] The present invention uses α-tocopherol analogs as haptens, uses the EDC method to couple the haptens with carrier proteins, and uses an ultraviolet spectrophotometer to determine whether the coupling is successful. During the first immunization, the complete antigen of α-tocopherol is mixed and emulsified with an equal amount of complete Freund's adjuvant at an amount of 100 μg / mouse for injection immunization, and BALB / c mice are immunized by multiple subcutaneous injections on the back of the neck; multiple booster immunizations (50 μg / mouse) are performed with incomplete Freund's adjuvant; the last sprint immunization is performed with α-tocopherol complete antigen (25 μg / mouse, the complete antigen is diluted with physiological saline and does not contain adjuvant), and the mice are injected intraperitoneally. Select high titer, low IC 50 Mouse spleen cells were fused with SP2 / 0 myeloma cells by PEG 4000, and the hybrid cells after the three cell fusions were screened by selective culture medium; the cells were screened by indirect competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and subcloned four times, and finally a monoclonal antibody hybridoma cell line was obtained. The monoclonal antibody secreted by this cell line has good specificity and detection sensitivity for α-tocopherol (IC 50value is 0.2μg / mL), which can realize the detection of dietary foods for special medical purposes and provide raw materials for the immunological detection of α-tocopherol in food, and has practical application value.

[0040] Example 1 Preparation of complete antigen

[0041] The α-tocopherol hapten is coupled to the carrier protein by the EDC method to obtain the α-tocopherol artificial antigen. Among them, the α-tocopherol hapten prepared in this embodiment is coupled with bovine serum albumin BSA or ovalbumin OVA to obtain the complete antigen VE-EDC-BSA / OVA. Among them, VE-EDC-BSA is used as an immunogen to immunize mice, and VE-EDC-OVA is used as a coating source for cell determination of mouse serum and subclones after fusion.

[0042] The structure of the α-tocopherol hapten is shown below:

[0043]

[0044] The preparation method of the complete antigen VE-EDC-BSA is as follows:

[0045] a. Weigh 2.46 mg of hapten VE, 1.45 mg of N-hydroxysuccinimide, and 1.23 mg of 1-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride, dissolve them in 400 μL of N,N-dimethylformamide (the reaction solution is called A solution), and react at room temperature for 4-6 hours. Weigh 6.0 mg of BSA, add 2 mL of carbonate buffer solution (BSA protein is dissolved and called B solution), add A solution dropwise to B solution at room temperature, adjust the pH of the mixture to 8-9 with 1M NaOH solution, and react at room temperature overnight to obtain the conjugate VE-EDC-BSA. The method for coupling VE-EDC-OVA is similar to the above method.

[0046] b. Dialysis: Cut an 8 cm dialysis bag, boil it in boiling water for 3 min and cool it, store it in deionized water at 4°C for later use; put the conjugate VE-EDC-BSA / OVA conjugate solution into the dialysis bag and dialyze it in 0.01 mol / L PBS, changing it every 8 hours. Dialyze for 3 days to obtain the complete antigen VE-EDC-BSA / OVA, take it out and store it at -20°C.

[0047] Example 2 Immunization of mice

[0048] For the first immunization, the complete antigen of α-tocopherol (VE-EDC-BSA) was mixed with an equal amount of complete Freund's adjuvant and emulsified at a dose of 100 μg / mouse for injection, and BALB / c mice were immunized by multiple subcutaneous injections on the back of the neck; after a lapse of 4 weeks, a booster immunization was performed, and the dose of the complete antigen was halved (50 μg / mouse), and the complete antigen was mixed and emulsified with incomplete Freund's adjuvant, and the interval between subsequent booster immunizations was 3 weeks; for the sprint immunization, the dose was halved again (25 μg / mouse), and the complete antigen was diluted with saline and injected intraperitoneally into the mice. After the third immunization, the mice can be tail-cut and blood can be collected for testing, and the titer and IC of the mouse serum can be tested by indirect competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ic-ELISA). 50 , select high titer, IC 50 Low mice were fused;

[0049] Example 3 Cell fusion and screening

[0050] (1) Three days after the sprint immunization, cell fusion was performed according to the conventional PEG 4000 (polyethylene glycol) method. The specific steps are as follows:

[0051] a. Collect SP2 / 0 tumor cells: 7-10 days before fusion, culture SP2 / 0 tumor cells in RPMI-1640 medium containing 10% FBS (fetal bovine serum) in a 5% CO2 incubator. Before fusion, the number of SP2 / 0 tumor cells should reach 1-4*10 7 , to ensure that SP2 / 0 tumor cells are in the logarithmic growth phase before fusion. When fusion occurs, tumor cells are collected, suspended in RPMI-1640 basal culture medium, and cell counts are performed;

[0052] b. After killing the mouse by dislocating the neck, immediately sterilize it in 75% alcohol, soak it for about 5 minutes, remove the mouse spleen by aseptic operation, grind it moderately with a syringe rubber tip and pass it through a 200-mesh cell sieve to obtain a spleen cell suspension. Collect it in a 50mL sterile centrifuge tube and centrifuge it at 1200r / min for 8 minutes. Wash the spleen cells with RPMI-1640 medium, pick out the larger tissue impurities, and repeat the operation three times. After the last centrifugation, dilute the spleen cells to a certain volume, count them, and set aside;

[0053] c. Fusion process 7min: In the first minute, 1mL of PEG 4000 was added to the cells from slow to fast speed; in the second minute, the tube was left to stand and held tightly with both hands. In the third and fourth minutes, 1mL of RPMI-1640 medium was added within 1min; in the fifth and sixth minutes, 1mL of RPMI-1640 medium was added every 30s; in the seventh minute, 1mL of RPMI-1640 medium was added every 10s. Then, the cells were incubated at 37°C for 5min. Centrifuged at 800r / min for 10min, the supernatant was discarded, the cells in the centrifuge tube were gently knocked apart, and RPMI-1640 selective medium (HAT medium) containing 20% ​​fetal bovine serum and 2% 50×HAT was added thereto, and added to the 96-well cell plate at 200μL / well, and cultured in a 37°C, 5% CO2 incubator.

[0054] (2) Cell screening and cell line establishment: On the third day after cell fusion, half of the fused cells were replaced with HAT medium; on the fifth day, the medium was completely replaced with RPMI-1640 transition medium (HT medium) containing 20% ​​fetal bovine serum and 1% 100×HT; on the seventh day, the cell supernatant was taken for screening. The screening was divided into two steps: the first step was to screen out the positive cell wells by ic-ELISA, and the second step was to select α-tocopherol standard and measure the inhibitory effect of positive cells by ic-ELISA. The cell wells with better inhibition of α-tocopherol standard were selected, subcloned by limiting dilution method, and tested by the same method seven days later. Four subclonings were performed according to the above method, and finally the α-tocopherol monoclonal antibody cell line SLLB was obtained.
