Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of immunology, in particular to a toxoflavin hapten as well as a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Small molecule compounds such as antibacterial drugs, mycotoxins, environmental pollutants and illegal additives exist widely in biological samples such as environment and food, and it is necessary to detect them quickly and accurately. At present, the methods for detecting small molecule compounds in biological samples mainly include thin layer chromatography, spectrophotometry, high performance liquid chromatography, high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry and biosensor determination. These instrument analysis methods have high sensitivity and good reproducibility, but are time-consuming, laborious and expensive, and are not suitable for on-site detection of a large number of samples. Therefore, it is urgent to establish a rapid, accurate and reliable and high-sensitivity rapid analysis method.

[0003] Immunoassay based on antigen-antibody specific reaction has the characteristics of sensitivity, rapidity, low cost and simple operation, which is suitable for on-site rapid detection. Antibody as the core reagent determines the sensitivity, specificity and stability of the method. Small molecule compounds cannot directly induce strong immune response due to their small molecular weight. Therefore, they need to be designed as haptens and coupled with carrier proteins to become complete antigens to induce the production of high-performance antibodies. Traditional monoclonal antibodies and polyclonal antibodies derived from mice and rabbits are composed of two heavy chains and two light chains, which have complex structure, poor stability, high production cost and are not easy to be modified in vitro, greatly limiting their application in actual sample detection. Heavy chain antibodies (HCAbs) naturally lack light chains in camelids. Through genetic engineering technology, the variable domain of the heavy chain of HCAbs (VHH) can be obtained, which retains the antigen binding activity. Due to the nanoscale size of VHH, it is also called nanobody. It has high stability, simple structure, easy modification and low production cost, which makes up for the shortcomings of traditional antibodies and has important practical value in immunoassay. Phage display technology is the most commonly used nanobody preparation technology at present, but it has many shortcomings. For example, antibody genes need to be cut and linked, plasmid transformation and other processes, and the library capacity and diversity are limited; the use of prokaryotic and eukaryotic codons, folding and modification mechanisms are different, and some antibodies cannot be effectively displayed; high-affinity clones may exist in low abundance and be easily covered by low-affinity clones; multiple rounds of affinity enrichment selection are required, which is complicated, time-consuming and extremely dependent on microbial growth conditions. With the rapid development of biotechnology and sequencing technology, B cell sorting and high-throughput sequencing technology (HTS) are becoming mature. Based on B cell sorting and high-throughput sequencing method, the specific operation of obtaining nanobody is as follows: taking specific B cells as the target, amplifying the variable region gene by PCR, and then using high-throughput sequencing technology combined with bioinformatics analysis to quickly obtain nanobody. This process does not involve library capacity loss steps such as plasmid transformation, does not depend on microbial growth state, and does not require complex affinity enrichment selection process, which has the advantages of low cost, simple operation and fast speed.

[0004] The toxoflavin is a cell toxin produced after the death of gram-negative bacteria, and has a molecular formula of C7H7N5O2, a molar mass of 193.21 g / mol, and belongs to a small molecule compound. The toxoflavin is a serious food contaminant, has extremely strong toxicity and mutagenic effect, and can cause pathological damage to animal vascular smooth muscle, kidneys, lungs, hearts and other organs. The toxoflavin can exist in cereals such as wheat, barley, corn, oat, soybean and rice, and eating the food contaminated by the toxoflavin can cause stomach discomfort, even liver and kidney damage, toxic shock and other symptoms, and cause damage to the digestive system, immune system, nervous system and circulatory system of the human body, and pose a threat to public health and food safety. Therefore, it is necessary to monitor the toxoflavin pollution to protect the health of consumers and food safety. At present, there is no research on the preparation of toxoflavin antibody.

[0060] S4. Purify the mixture by high performance liquid chromatography, to obtain the yellow solid product of toxoflavin hapten as shown in formula I.

[0061] Example 2. Preparation of toxoflavin artificial antigen

[0062] This example provides two preparation methods of toxoflavin artificial antigen (coating antigen and immunogen), the difference between the two preparation methods is only the type of carrier protein (KLH is used as the carrier protein of immunogen, BSA is used as the carrier protein of coating antigen, and the coupling method is active ester method).

[0063] (I) Synthesis of toxoflavin coating antigen

[0064] S1, 29.25 mg of the compound of formula I prepared in Example 1 was dissolved in 1 mL of DMF, 12 mg of NHS and 95.75 mg of EDC were added, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight to obtain solution I;

[0065] S2, 111.70 mg of BSA was added to 3 mL of PBS buffer and dissolved to obtain solution II;

[0066] S3, solution I was slowly added to solution II, and the mixture was stirred at 4°C for 24 h, then was put into a dialysis bag and dialyzed in PBS at room temperature for 72 h (with 6 times of liquid change), to obtain a toxoflavin-coated original solution, which was stored at -20°C.

[0067] The toxoflavin-coated original solution prepared from the compound of formula I is referred to as TXF-BSA.

[0068] (II) Synthesis of toxoflavin immunogen

[0069] Compared with the synthesis method of the toxoflavin-coated original solution described above, the only difference is that KLH is used instead of BSA.

[0070] The toxoflavin immunogen prepared from the compound of formula I is referred to as TXF-KLH.

[0071] Example 3: Immunization of alpaca and detection of antisera

[0072] In this example, the TXF-KLH prepared in Example 2 was mixed with Freund's adjuvant to immunize an alpaca. For the first immunization, 300 μg of the immunogen was mixed with an equal volume of Freund's complete adjuvant, emulsified, and injected into the alpaca in multiple points on the neck and back. One week later, the alpaca was boosted once, and the immunization dose was unchanged, but the adjuvant was changed to Freund's incomplete adjuvant. One week after each immunization, the peripheral blood of the alpaca was collected, and the titer of the serum was detected by ELISA (see Figure 2 ).

[0073] The titer of the antisera of the alpaca was determined by ELISA, and the specific operation was as follows:

[0074] (1) Coating: the homologous coating agent TXF-BSA was diluted to 0.1 μg / mL with the coating solution, and 100 μL of the solution was added to each well of an enzyme-labeled plate, which was incubated at 37°C for 2 h. The liquid in the wells was poured out, and the wells were washed 3 times with 280 μL of washing solution and dried on absorbent paper.

[0075] (2) Blocking: 150 μL of blocking solution was added to each well, which was incubated at 37°C for 1 h. The liquid in the wells was poured out and dried on absorbent paper.

[0076] (3) Binding: 50 μL of PBS and 50 μL of gradient-diluted antisera were sequentially added to each well, which was incubated at 37°C for 30 min. The liquid in the wells was poured out, washed 3 times with washing solution, and dried.

[0077] (4) Add 100 μL of HRP-labeled goat anti-llama enzyme-labeled antibody diluted 5000 times to each well, incubate at 37°C for 30 min, pour out the liquid in the well, and wash with washing solution for 4 times, and pat dry.

[0078] (5) Color development: add 100 μL of freshly prepared TMB color developing liquid to each well, and react at 37°C for 10 min in the dark.

[0079] (6) Termination: add 50 μL of 2M H2SO4 to each well.

[0080] (7) Measurement: read the OD value of each well at 450 nm (reference filter wavelength: 630 nm) using an enzyme-labeled instrument.

[0081] (8) Plot the antiserum titer curve using OriginPro8.5 with the antiserum dilution factor as the abscissa and the average OD value as the ordinate. The definition of the antiserum titer in this study is as follows: when the concentration of the homologous coating agent TXF-BSA is fixed at 0.1 μg / mL, the antiserum dilution factor corresponding to the final OD value of 1.5 is the antiserum titer.

[0082] Example 4 Isolation of Specific B Cells in the Peripheral Blood of Llamas

[0083] In this example, the peripheral blood of the llama after the second immunization in Example 3 was collected, and the lymphocytes were separated by density gradient centrifugation. Then, the fluorescein EDF-labeled toxofluin hapten was incubated with the lymphocytes at 37°C for 2 h, and then the specific B cells with fluorescein labeling on the surface were sorted by a flow cytometer. The specific operation steps are as follows:

[0084] (1) Take fresh anticoagulated peripheral blood of the llama, and dilute the whole blood with an equal volume of PBS.

[0085] (2) Take a 50 mL sterile centrifuge tube, and add an equal volume of Ficoll separation medium in the centrifuge tube. Slowly and smoothly lay the diluted peripheral blood on the Ficoll separation medium, and balance the centrifugation.

[0086] (3) After centrifugation, the centrifuge tube is divided into four layers from top to bottom, the first layer is the plasma layer, the second layer is the lymphocyte layer, the third layer is the separation medium layer, and the fourth layer is the red blood cell layer.

[0087] (4) Absorb the upper plasma layer and discard it, collect the lymphocyte layer into another 50 mL centrifuge tube, add PBS to 45 mL, mix well, and centrifuge for 10 min.

[0088] (5) Quickly discard the supernatant in the clean bench, gently knock the lymphocytes at the bottom of the centrifuge tube, and then add PBS to 45 mL, mix well, and centrifuge for 10 min.

[0089] (6) Add 2 mL PBS, add 10 μL trypan blue, mix, and count under a microscope using a cell counting plate; adjust the cell concentration to 2 x 10 6 cells / mL.

[0090] (7) Use fluorescein EDF-labeled toxoflavin hapten to incubate with lymphocytes at 37°C for 2 h, and use a flow cytometer for cell sorting.

[0091] Example 5 High-throughput sequencing analysis of specific B cells

[0092] In this example, the RNA of specific B cells is extracted by the Trizol method and reverse transcribed into cDNA. A DNA library is constructed and sent to a sequencing company for high-throughput sequencing detection. The amino acid sequence with the highest abundance, as shown in SEQ ID NO. 1 (the nucleotide sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO. 2), is the toxoflavin-specific nanobody.

[0093] The specific operation steps are as follows:

[0094] (1) Transfer the cells to a 1.5 mL centrifuge tube, add 1 mL Trizol, mix, and stand at room temperature for 5 min.

[0095] (2) Add 0.2 mL chloroform, shake for 15 s, stand for 2 min, add 0.5 mL isopropanol, mix the liquid in the tube gently, stand at room temperature for 10 min.

[0096] (3) Centrifuge at 4°C, 12000g x 10 min, discard the supernatant, add 1 mL 75% ethanol, gently wash the precipitate, centrifuge at 4°C, 7500g x 5 min, discard the supernatant, air dry, add 50 μL DEPC H2O to dissolve, and obtain the total RNA of lymphocytes.

[0097] (4) Reverse transcribe the RNA into cDNA, sequence the obtained cDNA library through the Illumina MiSeq platform, and analyze the high-throughput sequencing results by bioinformatics.

[0098] The main contents of the analysis of the high-throughput sequencing results of nanobodies include the following two aspects:

[0099] ① Sequence abundance analysis, analyze the proportion of each unique sequence of nanobodies in the antibody repertoire, and sort according to the abundance from high to low;

[0100] ② Analysis of somatic hypermutation of nanobodies, including mutation position and mutation frequency, usually nanobodies with high mutation frequency have strong antigen binding activity.

[0101] The proportion of high-frequency nanobodies in the antibody library analyzed by sequencing results is shown in Table 1 Figure 3 , and the sequence of clone No. 1 accounted for 57.2% of the total nanobody sequences, and the proportion of other clone sequences was small. Through the above analysis, the possible toxoflavin nanobody No. 1 sequence (amino acid sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO. 1) was artificially synthesized, cloned into the corresponding expression vector, and prepared for activity identification.

[0102] Example 6 Expression, purification and activity identification of toxoflavin nanobodies

[0103] In this embodiment, the toxoflavin nanobody is constructed into the expression vector pET-22b, and after sequencing, it is induced to express in the expression host BL21.

[0104] The specific operation steps of induction expression are as follows:

[0105] Dilute the correct sequence sample bacterial liquid with 2YT medium at a ratio of 1:100, shake the bacteria at 37°C and 220 rpm, and when the OD value of the bacterial liquid at 600 nm is 0.6-1.0, add IPTG with a final concentration of 1 mmol / L to induce expression for 16 h, and collect the bacterial liquid. After IPTG induction and expression, the bacterial liquid is centrifuged at 6000 rpm for 20 min to collect the bacterial body, washed once with PBS, and centrifuged again to collect the bacterial body; the bacterial liquid is mixed and blown on ice with 10 mL of PBS, and the program is ultrasonicated for 10 min according to the program of "ultrasonic vibration time 5 s; interval time 5 s; protection temperature 60°C; ultrasonic power 10%", and the broken bacterial liquid is centrifuged at 12000 rpm for 30 min. The supernatant is purified by affinity chromatography, and the purification experiment results are shown in Table 2 Figure 4 .

[0106] The activity of toxoflavin nanobodies is identified by indirect ELISA method, and the specific operation steps are as follows:

[0107] (1) Coating: dilute the coating liquid to the optimal working concentration, add 100 μL per well, and incubate at 37°C for 2 h. Pour out the liquid in the well, wash with washing solution for 3 times, 280 μL per well, and dry on the absorbent paper.
