Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the field of biomedicine, and relates to an anti-influenza virus high-sensitivity antibody and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Influenza virus is a single-stranded negative-sense RNA virus with an envelope belonging to the Orthomyxoviridae family; it is spherical in appearance, about 80-120 nm in diameter, and can be divided into three parts from the outside in structure: envelope, matrix protein (M protein), and core protein (NP protein); it is composed of 7-8 RNA gene fragments encoding different proteins in terms of genetic composition; and it can be divided into four virus types, including type A (also referred to as type A), type B (also referred to as type B), type C (also referred to as type C), and type D, according to the antigenic differences of the nucleoprotein and matrix protein.
[0003] Among the above influenza virus types, type A influenza virus is the most harmful to humans, poultry, and mammals, and is the most common seasonal influenza virus, which is easy to cause a pandemic; type A influenza virus can be divided into different subtypes according to the antigenic differences of hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA) embedded on the surface of the virus particle; as of now, type A influenza virus is divided into 18 HA subtypes and 11 NA subtypes; the most common type A influenza virus subtypes include H1N1, H3N2, H5N1, H7N9, and H9N2, etc.
[0004] Most type A influenza viruses are transmitted in birds, and some subtypes can be transmitted across species; currently, the seasonal type A influenza viruses transmitted in humans are mostly H1N1 and H3N2 subtypes, and high-pathogenicity avian influenza viruses such as H7N9 and H5N1 also cause fatal infections in humans. Therefore, it is of great significance to establish a detection technology that can detect multiple subtypes of type A influenza virus for the control of infection of the virus.
[0005] Antigen detection is an important technical means for identifying type A influenza virus. Specific detection methods include enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, immunocolloidal gold technology, and immunofluorescence, etc. Regardless of which technical method, the preparation of sensitive and specific antibodies is a prerequisite for the development of detection technology.
[0006] The traditional antibody preparation method is mainly hybridoma antibody preparation technology, which uses specific antigen to immunize mice, stimulates B lymphocyte activation, proliferation and differentiation into sensitized lymphocytes, collects mouse spleen cells, and fuses and monoclonalizes myeloma cells to screen and isolate cell strains that can secrete specific monoclonal antibodies. However, during the subculture of the hybridoma cell strain, the antibody gene often has the risk of loss. Although the molecular biology technology can realize the gene expression and intracellular culture of the hybridoma antibody, it can overcome the problem of antibody gene loss, but the in vitro expression of the antibody gene needs to be carried out in eukaryotic cells, and the expression cost is high and the expression amount is low, so the antibody preparation technology needs to be improved.
[0007] Single-chain antibody (VHH antibody), also known as nanobody, is a new type of antibody found in alpaca. Although the nanobody is smaller than the traditional antibody IgG in volume, the complementarity determining regions CDR1 and CDR3 of the nanobody are longer than the CDR regions of the traditional antibody in structure, can penetrate into the interior of the antigen, and can be combined with the hidden target binding site that cannot be combined by the traditional antibody; and then the antigen binding affinity of the nanobody is increased. The nanobody has the advantages of small molecular weight, simple structure, no glycosylation and other modification sites, and can be expressed in a large amount in a prokaryotic system, and the preparation cost is low. This solves the problem of high preparation cost of the traditional antibody. In summary, compared with the traditional antibody, the nanobody has the advantages of small molecular weight (about 12-15 kDa), high chemical resistance, good stability, high affinity, easy expression and the like. Developing the nanobody as a detection antibody is expected to develop an antigen detection method with higher sensitivity. SUMMARY

Furthermore, in the development of a double-antibody sandwich ELISA test, it was found that when VHH nanoantibodies were used as capture antibodies, they showed a more sensitive detection effect. However, the sensitivity of nanoantibodies as detection antibodies is not high, significantly lower than that of traditional IgG antibodies. The main reason is that small-molecule nanoantibodies are not as structurally stable as long-fragment nanoantibodies. Furthermore, the present invention optimized the structure of the VHH108 nanoantibody. By recombinantly expressing the Fc fragment at the end of the antibody, the two VHH antibodies spontaneously formed a disulfide bond through the cysteine residues on the Fc after expression, thereby forming a bivalent VHH-FC antibody. The results of affinity analysis showed that the modified VHH108-FC antibody had a 10-fold increase in affinity compared to the original VHH108 nanoantibody; in the double-antibody sandwich ELISA experiment, the detection sensitivity was also significantly improved. Furthermore, the present invention recombined the sensitive detection marker Nluc at the C-terminus of the VHH-FC antibody to establish a highly sensitive Nluc nanobody ELISA, which has a detection sensitivity 100 times higher than that of traditional ELISA.
[0070] The present invention is applicable to the detection of multiple subtypes of influenza A viruses, has the advantages of high sensitivity and strong specificity, and has market value and promotion and application value. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

After electrophoresis, Protein Show-G250 protein rapid staining reagent (Kangwei Reagent, product catalog number CW0023S, according to the instructions) was used for operation, and then a gel imaging instrument was used to collect information.
[0115] The reducing SDS-PAGE result can destroy the disulfide bond between the peptide segments, so as to accurately display the protein molecular weight. The reducing SDS-PAGE electropherogram is shown in Figure 1 A of FIG. 1. Figure 1 A of FIG. 1: Lane M: Maker; Lane 1: VHH108-Fc (44 kDa); Lane 2: VHH108-Fc-Nluc (65 kDa); Lane 3: VHH57 (39 kDa); Lane 4: VHH108 (15 kDa). The results show that the band size is consistent with the expected molecular weight of the antibody.
[0116] 2. Non-reducing SDS-PAGE
[0117] Take 10 μL, add 10 μL 2x Native protein loading buffer (Shanghai Genechem Co., Ltd., product catalog number C506025-0003). The sample loading amount is 20 μL, and the standard protein Marker (molecular weight 10-170 kDa; Thermo Scientific, product catalog number 26616) loading amount is 10 μL. 12% separation gel (Shanghai Genechem Co., Ltd., product catalog number C651102-0001) is used. During electrophoresis, the concentrated gel condition is set to 80V, 30min, and the separation gel condition is set to 120V, 40min. After electrophoresis, Protein Show-G250 protein rapid staining reagent (Kangwei reagent product, product catalog number CW0023S, according to the instruction) is used for operation, and then a gel imaging instrument is used to collect information.
[0118] Non-reducing SDS-PAGE gel electrophoresis maintains the natural structure of proteins, does not destroy the disulfide bond structure between peptide segments, and can reflect the size of multimeric proteins in solution. The non-reducing SDS-PAGE electropherogram is shown in Figure 1 B. Figure 1 In B of the above table: Lane M: Maker; Lane 1: VHH108-Fc (88kDa); Lane 2: VHH108-Fc-Nluc (130kDa); Lane 3: VHH57 (39kDa); Lane 4: VHH108 (15kDa). The protein band size of VHH108 is consistent with the band size in reducing SDS-PAGE, indicating that the naturally occurring form of VHH108 is a monomer. The protein band size of VHH57 is consistent with the band size in reducing SDS-PAGE, indicating that the naturally occurring form of VHH57 is a monomer. The molecular weight of VHH108-Fc and VHH108-Fc-Nluc in non-reducing SDS-PAGE is twice that in reducing SDS-PAGE, indicating that the naturally occurring form of VHH108-Fc and VHH108-Fc-Nluc is a dimer. The results show that the antibody in the form of a dimer is prepared by connecting Fc to the C-terminal of VHH108 antibody.

[0123] Example 2, Comparison of the binding activity of VHH108 antibody and VHH108-Fc antibody
[0124] I. Comparison of the capture effect of the capture antibody
[0125] The capture antibody was respectively VHH108 antibody (provided by the VHH108 antibody solution prepared in Example 1) or VHH108-Fc antibody (provided by the VHH108-Fc antibody solution prepared in Example 1).
[0126] The antigen was respectively H1N1-NP protein or H3N2-NP protein.
[0127] The 96-well ELISA microplate was taken, 100 μL of coating solution containing 2 μg / mL of capture antibody was added to each well, and coated overnight at 4°C. Then, blocking was performed. Then, 100 μL of antigen diluent (the concentration of antigen in the antigen diluent was 8 μg / mL-0.000512 μg / mL, 5-fold gradient) was added to each well, incubated at 37°C for 1.5 h, and washed. Then, 100 μL of HRP-labeled anti-His antibody was added to each well, incubated at 37°C for 1.5 h, and washed. Then, TMB substrate solution was added for color development, and the OD 450 value was determined.
[0128] The OD 450 >0.2 was used as the cut off value for judging as positive, and the lowest concentration of multi-subtype influenza virus NP antigen that could be detected by the antibody was compared. The lower the detectable antigen concentration, the higher the sensitivity of the antibody.
[0129] The results are shown in Figure 2 . The two forms of antibodies were respectively used as capture antibodies to detect NP antigen, and the results were similar. The lowest detection limit for H1N1-NP antigen was 0.32 μg / mL, and the lowest detection limit for H3N2-NP antigen was 0.0128 μg / mL.
[0130] II. Comparison of the detection effect of the detection antibody
[0131] The detection antibody was respectively biotin-labeled VHH108 antibody prepared in Example 1 or biotin-labeled VHH108-Fc antibody prepared in Example 1.
[0132] Take 96-well ELISA microplates, add 100 μL of coating solution containing 1 μg / mL of antigen (antigens are H1N1-NP protein, H3N2-NP protein, H5N1-NP protein or H7N9-NP protein, respectively) to each well, and coat at 4°C overnight. Then, blocking is performed. Then, add 100 μL of antibody diluent to each well (the concentration of the detection antibody in the antibody diluent is 8 μg / mL-0.000512 μg / mL, with a 5-fold gradient), incubate at 37°C for 1.5 h, and wash. Then, add 100 μL of horseradish peroxidase-labeled streptavidin to each well, incubate at 37°C for 1 h, and wash. Then, add TMB substrate solution for color development, and measure OD 450 values.
[0133] Take 96-well ELISA microplates, add 100 μL of coating solution containing 1 μg / mL of antigen (antigens are H1N1-NP protein, H3N2-NP protein, H5N1-NP protein or H7N9-NP protein, respectively) to each well, and coat at 4°C overnight. Then, blocking is performed. Then, add 100 μL of antibody diluent to each well (the concentration of the detection antibody in the antibody diluent is 8 μg / mL-0.000512 μg / mL, with a 5-fold gradient), incubate at 37°C for 1.5 h, and wash. Then, add 100 μL of horseradish peroxidase-labeled streptavidin to each well, incubate at 37°C for 1 h, and wash. Then, add TMB substrate solution for color development, and measure OD 450 >0.2 as the cut-off value for judging positive, the lowest concentration of antibody that can be detected as positive is compared, and the lower the concentration of antibody that can be detected as positive, the higher the binding activity of the antibody.
[0134] The results are shown in Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 . Using NP antigens of H1, H3, H5 and H7 subtypes of influenza virus for detection, both VHH108 antibody and VHH108-Fc antibody as detection antibodies can bind, indicating that the antibody can detect multiple subtypes of influenza virus. Taking OD 450 >0.2 as the cut-off value for judging ELISA results. The results show that the lowest concentration of biotin-labeled VHH108-Fc antibody for detecting NP antigen is 0.00256 μg / ml, while the lowest concentration of biotin-labeled VHH108 antibody for detecting NP antigen is 0.0128 μg / ml, indicating that biotin-labeled VHH108-Fc antibody exhibits higher binding activity.
[0135] III. Affinity Comparison
[0136] The tested antibodies are VHH108 antibody (provided by the VHH108 antibody solution prepared in Example 1) or VHH108-Fc antibody (provided by the VHH108-Fc antibody solution prepared in Example 1).
[0137] The Gator protein characterization analysis system was used to detect the affinity of the test antibody to the NP antigen of influenza A virus (H1N1-NP protein, H3N2-NP protein, H5N1-NP protein or H7N9-NP protein, respectively). NP antigen diluted with Q Buffer (NP antigen concentration of 2 μg / mL) was added to the test hole of the low adsorption special plate, and only Q Buffer was added to the blank hole. Then 2-fold serially diluted test antibody (test antibody concentration of 10 μg / mL-0.3125 μg / mL) was added, and the prepared plate was placed in the Gator protein characterization analysis system instrument for affinity determination and calculation of the affinity dissociation constant. The affinity of the antibody to the antigen was determined by comparing the size of the affinity dissociation constant KD value, and the smaller the KD value, the greater the affinity of the antibody.
[0138] Q Buffer: containing 0.02% Tween 20, 0.2% BSA and 0.05% NaN3, and the rest is PBS buffer (pH 7.4).
[0139] The results of VHH108 antibody are shown in Figure 7 The results of VHH108-Fc antibody are shown in Figure 8 The affinity is shown in Table 1.
[0140] Compared with VHH108 antibody, the affinity of VHH108-Fc antibody to H1N1-NP protein was increased by about 3 orders of magnitude. Compared with VHH108 antibody, the affinity of VHH108-Fc antibody to H3N2-NP protein was increased by about 37 times. Compared with VHH108 antibody, the affinity of VHH108-Fc antibody to H5N1-NP protein was increased by about 2 orders of magnitude. Compared with VHH108 antibody, the affinity of VHH108-Fc antibody to H7N9-NP protein was increased by about 2 orders of magnitude.
[0141] Based on the ELISA detection and affinity analysis results of VHH108 antibody and VHH108-Fc antibody to NP antigen, VHH108-Fc antibody has higher detection sensitivity to NP antigen of multiple subtypes of influenza A virus, and has stronger affinity to NP antigen of multiple subtypes of influenza A virus in affinity analysis. It is shown that the affinity of the antibody is significantly improved by bivalent modification of the nanobody. It is speculated that the reason is that after the nanobody is recombined with the Fc segment, the cysteine residues on the two peptide segments can form disulfide bonds, thereby forming two VHH-Fc bivalent nanobodies connected by disulfide bonds (natural SDS-PAGE results confirm that VHH108-Fc antibody exists in the form of bivalent antibody), and the bivalent antibody has two identical antigenic determinants, which is more stable in structure, thereby showing stronger binding activity
