Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a nanobody targeting Staphylococcus aureus and its application, belonging to the field of nanobodies targeting Staphylococcus aureus. This invention is a divisional application of the invention titled "A Nanobody Targeting Staphylococcus aureus and Its Preparation Method and Application", with the application number 202510287680.8 and the application date March 12, 2025. Background Art

[0002] Staphylococcus aureus is a Gram-positive coccus belonging to the genus Staphylococcus, arranged in grape-like clusters. Its cell wall is composed of peptidoglycan and teichoic acid, and expresses various virulence factors such as staphylococcal protein A (SpA) and clumping factor A (ClfA), which mediate bacterial adhesion, host tissue invasion, and immune escape. Staphylococcus aureus infection can cause local suppurative infections, pneumonia, pseudomembranous enteritis, etc. In severe cases, it can develop into systemic infections such as sepsis and septic shock, and even lead to death. Foodborne Staphylococcus aureus infection is currently very common, causing acute gastroenteritis. Existing monoclonal antibodies mainly target surface proteins such as SpA and ClfA. However, problems such as the non-specific binding of SpA, as well as the high cost and poor stability of traditional antibodies, limit their application in rapid detection.

[0003] Current detection methods for Staphylococcus aureus mainly include bacterial culture methods, PCR technology, and immunoassay methods. As the gold standard, the bacterial culture method takes a long time, usually 24 - 48 hours to obtain results, and it is difficult to meet the needs of rapid detection. Although PCR technology is highly sensitive, it is complex to operate, requires professional equipment and personnel, and is not suitable for on-site rapid detection and areas with limited resources. Immunoassay methods represented by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kits have become important detection means for pathogenic bacteria due to their low operation difficulty, fast detection speed, and ability to achieve in-situ detection. Traditional monoclonal antibodies consist of heavy and light chains and are the most commonly used detection elements in immunoassay methods. However, problems such as high cost, poor stability, and difficulty in large-scale production restrict the application of monoclonal antibodies as immunoassay elements. Moreover, due to the presence of SpA protein on the surface of Staphylococcus aureus, which can bind to the Fc end of traditional monoclonal antibodies and seriously interfere with the detection accuracy, there is an urgent need to develop a monoclonal antibody replacement element targeting Staphylococcus aureus.

[0004] Nanobody (VHH) is a unique antibody fragment discovered in camelids. It contains only one variable heavy chain region and can avoid the interference of protein A (SpA) on the surface of Staphylococcus aureus. The molecular weight of nanobody is about 15 kDa, which is much smaller than that of traditional antibodies, and it has better tissue penetration and can bind to epitopes that are difficult to reach by traditional antibodies. At present, nanobodies have shown great potential in different biotechnological fields such as pathogenic microorganism detection, human diagnosis and treatment. Therefore, the development of a Staphylococcus aureus detection kit based on nanobodies has broad application prospects. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Object of the Invention: The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a nanobody targeting Staphylococcus aureus with high sensitivity and strong specificity and its application.

[0006] Technical Solution: To solve the above technical problem, the present invention provides a nanobody targeting Staphylococcus aureus, and the nanobody is a VHH antibody with the amino acid sequences shown in SEQ ID NO: 7, SEQ ID NO: 8, SEQ ID NO: 9, SEQ ID NO: 10, SEQ ID NO: 11, and SEQ ID NO: 12. This nanobody has excellent binding performance and specificity with Staphylococcus aureus.

[0007] Among them, the VHH antibody fragment has the nucleotide sequences shown in SEQ ID NO.1, SEQ ID NO.2, SEQ ID NO.3, SEQ ID NO.4, SEQ ID NO.5, and SEQ ID NO.6.

[0008] Secondly, the present invention also provides a preparation method of the above-mentioned nanobody targeting Staphylococcus aureus, and this method includes the following steps: (1) Cultivate Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC25923) overnight, plate count and then place the bacteria in a 90°C metal bath for high-temperature sterilization for 30 min to obtain inactivated Staphylococcus aureus; (2) Extract unimmunized alpaca lymphocytes and extract total RNA, synthesize cDNA and use PCR to amplify the fragment encoding the VHH gene. After digestion with a fast cutter enzyme, reconnect it with the phagemid pComb3XSS using T4 ligase, transfer the recombinant phagemid into Escherichia coli TG1, and construct a natural phage library of nanobodies. The measured library capacity is about 2×10 10 , with a low sequence repetition and good diversity; (3) Coat the inactivated Staphylococcus aureus onto the ELISA wells, add the recombinant phage and incubate for a period of time. Wash away the non-specifically bound recombinant phage with PBST, elute the specifically bound phage with acid, amplify the eluted phage, measure the titer, and use it for the next round of panning or analysis. Perform 3 - 5 rounds of screening according to the steps of "adsorption - washing - elution - amplification". By changing conditions such as the concentration of PBST and the phage incubation time during the screening process, layer by layer, to screen for nanobody phages with stronger affinity and specificity; (4) After several rounds of screening, randomly select 50 phages for Phage - ELISA identification. Use proteins of Salmonella enteritidis, Escherichia coli, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Listeria monocytogenes, SARS - CoV - 2 S protein, norovirus protein, rotavirus protein as negative controls, and PBS as a blank control; Obtain 10 recombinant phage - displayed nanobodies with better effects and specific binding to Staphylococcus aureus. Amplify, extract plasmids, and sequence these 10 nanobody phages to obtain 6 nanobodies.

[0009] Furthermore, the method for constructing the nanobody phage display library of the present invention mainly includes the following steps: (1) Amplify the fragment encoding the nanobody gene from alpaca lymphocytes and introduce Sfi I restriction sites at both ends of the nanobody; (2) Digest and recombine with the phagemid pComb3XSS, and ligate with T4 ligase to construct the phage display library.

[0010] Furthermore, the pH elution method for screening mainly includes the following steps: (1) Coat 10 6 -10 8 cfu / mL of inactivated Staphylococcus aureus into 400 μL ELISA wells and coat at 4°C for 10 - 14 h; (2) Wash the plate 5 - 10 times with 0.05 - 0.25% PBST, and block with bovine serum albumin (BSA) or ovalbumin (OVA) at 37°C for 1 - 2 h; (3) Wash the plate 5 - 10 times with 0.05 - 0.25% PBST, add 2×10 10 recombinant phage and incubate at 37°C for 60 - 120 min; (4) Wash the plate 5 - 10 times with 0.05 - 0.25% PBST, incubate with 100 - 200 μL of 0.1 M Gly - Hcl (pH = 2.2) for 8 - 10 min, and add 30 - 45 μL of 1 M Tris - Hcl (pH = 9.1). Measure the titer and pick monoclonal phages for phage - ELISA identification.

[0011] Thirdly, the present invention uses the checkerboard method to conduct paired experiments and screen out a pair of highly sensitive and strongly specific paired antibodies, which have the nucleotide sequences of SEQ ID NO.2 and SEQ ID NO.5, and the amino acid sequences of SEQ ID NO.8 and SEQ ID NO.11. The main steps are as follows: (1) Coat 100 μl of nanobody at 50 μg / ml and incubate overnight. (2) Wash the plate 3 times with 0.05% PBST, and incubate with 5% skim milk powder at 37°C for 2 h. (3) Wash the plate 3 times with 0.05% PBST, add 10 8 cfu / ml of heat-inactivated Staphylococcus aureus and incubate at 37°C for 1 h. (4) Wash the plate 3 times with 0.05% PBST, add the phage supernatant after panning, and incubate at 37°C for 45 - 60 min. (5) Wash the plate 6 times with 0.05% PBST, add 100 - 200 μL of anti-M13 secondary antibody to each well, and incubate at 37°C for 45 - 60 min. (6) Wash the plate 7 times with 0.05% PBST, add 100 μL of TMB chromogenic solution, incubate at 37°C for 10 - 15 min and conduct identification.

[0012] Furthermore, the present invention uses the successfully paired nanobodies as the coating antibody and the labeled antibody respectively to develop an ELISA detection kit. The coating antibody is Nb2, and the labeled antibody is Nb5 conjugated with HRP enzyme as the enzyme-labeled secondary antibody. The main steps are as follows: (1) Coat 100 μl of Nb2 nanobody at 50 μg / ml overnight to obtain a coated plate. (2) Wash the plate 3 times with 0.05% PBST, and incubate with 5% skim milk powder at 37°C for 2 h. (3) Wash the plate 3 times with 0.05% PBST, dilute the standard strains at 10 8 、10 7 、10 6 、10 5 、10 4 、10 3 、10 2 cfu / ml respectively to draw a standard curve, add the test sample, and incubate at 37°C for 1 h. (4) Wash the plate 5 times with 0.05% PBST, add the enzyme-labeled secondary antibody, and incubate at 37°C for 1 h. (5) Wash the plate 6 times with 0.05% PBST, add the chromogenic solution, incubate at 37°C for 20 min, add 2 M sulfuric acid as the stop solution, and read the A450nm value.
