Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of bioengineering technology, and in particular relates to a Claudin18.2 genetic engineering antibody based on DNA immunization, and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art
[0002] Single B cell photoconductive technology enables in vitro cloning and expression of antibody genes from single antigen-specific B cells, preserving the natural pairing of light and heavy chain variable regions. It offers advantages such as simplicity, rapidity, low cell count requirements, and high efficiency. The single B platform combines microfluidics with various sorting technologies to directly isolate, analyze, and screen B cells at the single-cell level, allowing for precise and efficient screening of B cells secreting target antibody molecules. Combined with single-cell sequencing technology, the target antibody sequence can be obtained. This technology, by directly amplifying the VH and VL encoding genes of single B cells, is a powerful technique for preparing monoclonal antibodies from humans and immune animals.
[0003] DNA immunization utilizes recombinant DNA molecules to stimulate an immune response. This technology involves introducing specific gene fragments (typically pathogen antigen genes) into host cells, thereby prompting the host to produce a specific immune response. This technology involves cloning the target gene into an appropriate expression vector, typically plasmid DNA, and then introducing it into host cells (such as mice or other animals). Once inside the host cells, the introduced DNA expresses the antigen protein, activating the immune system to produce specific immune responses to the antigen, including antibodies and T cells. Compared to traditional vaccines, DNA immunization offers advantages such as simple production, lower cost, and longer-lasting immune effects. Therefore, it is widely used in vaccine development, disease prevention, and antibody production.
[0004] Claudins are a family of proteins responsible for maintaining tight junctions between cells and controlling the flow of molecules between cells by establishing barriers. Claudins are expressed as distinct isoforms in different tissues, and their abnormal expression has been linked to the development and progression of tumors. Claudin18.2, in particular, is an important target for the treatment of digestive system malignancies. While research on Claudin18.2 is increasing, there are no reports of highly specific and sensitive monoclonal antibodies against Claudin18.2 generated by genetic DNA immunization.

Specific mouse-derived genetically engineered antibodies are then prepared through single-cell photoconductive technology and genetic engineering technology, and the titer of the genetically engineered antibodies is verified to be high by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence experiments verify that the genetically engineered antibodies have specific recognition capabilities for the natural protein Claudin18.2, which lays the foundation for the further development of highly specific and sensitive Claudin18.2 pathological diagnostic antibodies.

[0074] (6) Construction of mouse anti-human Claudin18.2 antibody variable region T vector ① Take 1 μL of the target fragment of the antibody heavy chain or light chain variable region and add it to a PCR tube. Then add 1 μL of the vector pEASY®-Blunt Cloning Vector and 3 μL of pure water. After mixing, react at 37°C for 10 minutes. Add the ligation product to 50 μL of T1 competent cells, flick to mix, and let it stand on ice for 30 minutes. Then heat shock in a 42°C water bath for 90 seconds and immediately place on ice for 2 minutes. Add 250 μL of resistance-free LB medium to the tube and incubate at 37°C for 1 hour at 200 rpm. Take 8 μL of 500 mmol·L -1 IPTG and 40 μL 20 mg mL -1Mix with IPTG and X-gal and evenly spread on an ampicillin-resistant LB culture plate. Incubate at 37°C for 30 minutes to allow IPTG and X-gal to be absorbed. Centrifuge the culture at 5000 rpm for 5 minutes and discard 200 μL of the supernatant. Resuspend the cells in the remaining medium and spread evenly on a plate. Incubate in a 37°C incubator overnight.
[0075] ②Pick a single white colony in ampicillin-resistant LB medium and culture it in a constant temperature shaker at 37°C. When the bacterial solution becomes obviously turbid, take 1μL of the bacterial solution as a template and add it to the PCR tube. Add 5μL of 2×Taq Master Mix, 3μL of pure water and 0.5μL of primers to the tube. Mix them well and perform colony PCR. The program settings are shown in Table 11. Use upstream degenerate primers and specific downstream primers for the heavy chain; use specific upstream primers and downstream degenerate primers for the light chain. After the reaction, perform agarose gel electrophoresis on the products. Figure 5 300 μL of bacterial culture medium from clones with correct PCR bands was sequenced (the antibody light and heavy chain variable region sequences were determined by Shanghai Sangon Biotechnology Co., Ltd.). The function of the antibody light and heavy chain variable region sequences and VDJ family analysis were analyzed using the IMGT website (https: / / imgt.org / IMGT_vquest).

[0077] (7) Construction of mouse anti-human Claudin18.2 full-length antibody vector The vector construction of mouse anti-human Claudin18.2 full-length antibody was achieved by constructing the variable region genes of the antibody's light and heavy chains on the vectors pFUSEss-CHIg-mG2b and pFUSE2ss-CLIg-mk containing the antibody's light and heavy chain constant regions, respectively.
[0078] First, the plasmids pFUSEss-CHIg-mG2b and pFUSE2ss-CLIg-mk were linearized by double enzyme digestion to facilitate subsequent recombination with the variable region genes of the antibody light and heavy chains. Gel electrophoresis results showed that the bands of the plasmids pFUSEss-CHIg-mG2b and pFUSE2ss-CLIg-mk after enzyme digestion were located between 3000 bp and 5000 bp, which is consistent with the fragment size of the linearized vector.
[0079] Then, the variable region gene of the heavy chain was constructed on pFUSEss-CHIg-mG2b by homologous recombination, and the variable region gene of the light chain was constructed on pFUSE2ss-CHIg-mk. After overnight culture, several white single colonies grew on the culture dish containing the corresponding resistance. Single colonies were picked for expansion and colony PCR was used to verify whether the construction was successful. Gel electrophoresis was as follows Figure 6 As shown, the results showed that the full-length vectors of the heavy chain and light chain were successfully constructed, and the sequencing results were analyzed using Snapgene, BioXM.2.7.1 software and NCBI-BLAST website (https: / / blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov / Blast.cgi), which were 100% identical to the original base sequence.
[0080] PCR amplification primers were designed based on the upstream and downstream restriction sites of the vector as shown in Table 12, and then the heavy chain and light chain variable region genes that were confirmed to be correct and functional by sequencing were used as templates.
