Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of nanoantibody technology, and more specifically, relates to a nanoantibody that specifically binds to AAV2 and its application. Background Art

[0002] Adeno-associated virus (AAV), a member of the Parvoviridae family, is a non-enveloped, single-stranded DNA virus that is incapable of autonomous replication and infects both dividing and non-dividing cells. AAV can infect a wide variety of tissue and cell types, exhibits low or no pathogenicity and immunogenicity during host cell proliferation, and can stably express the gene it carries, making it suitable for use as a vector for in vivo gene transfer. Numerous human AAV serotypes have been identified, including but not limited to AAV1, AAV2, AAV3, AAV4, AAV5, AAV6, AAV7, AAV8, AAV2, AAV10, AAV11, and AAV12, as well as their mutants. Different AAV serotypes possess distinct capsid protein structures, sequences, and tissue specificities, and recognize and bind distinct cell surface receptors. Consequently, the tissue and cell types transduced, as well as the infection efficiency, vary among AAV serotypes.

[0003] AAV2, one of the most widely used serotypes in gene therapy, can infect a wide range of cell types, including dividing and non-dividing cells. It effectively transduces a wide range of cell types both in vitro and in vivo, making it an ideal vector for gene therapy. The AAV2 capsid protein has a high affinity for specific cell surface receptors (such as heparan sulfate proteoglycans and fibroblast growth factor receptor 1), making it a natural target for the retina, skeletal muscle, liver, and central nervous system. Furthermore, AAV2 vectors can maintain high levels of gene expression in vivo for up to several years, making them widely used in the field of genetic engineering drugs and of great significance for the treatment of genetic diseases. Currently, the FDA-approved drug Luxturna (voretigene neparvovec) uses an AAV2 vector to deliver the RPE65 gene and has successfully treated Leber congenital amaurosis type 2, resulting in significant improvement in visual function in patients. The development of an antibody with high affinity, good stability, and specific binding to AAV2, which can be prepared as an AAV2 affinity filler, is crucial for the enrichment, purification, detection, and quality control of AAV2 gene therapy vectors. However, the broad-spectrum antibodies currently available can simultaneously recognize multiple AAV sera, but have low affinity for specific AAV2 serotypes and poor purification effects. In addition, the antibody preparation process is complex, the preparation cycle is long, and it is not suitable for mass production, which limits the clinical application of AAV2.

[0022] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

[0023] In the description of the embodiments of this application, words such as "exemplary" or "for example" are used to indicate examples, illustrations, or descriptions. Any embodiment or design described as "exemplary" or "for example" in the embodiments of this application should not be construed as being preferred or advantageous over other embodiments or designs. Rather, the use of words such as "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present the relevant concepts in a concrete manner.

[0024] In the description of the embodiments of the present application, unless otherwise specified, “plurality” means two or more.

[0025] The term "antibody" is used in this application in its broadest sense to include immunoglobulins or other types of molecules containing one or more antigen-binding domains that specifically bind to an antigen, and are proteins or polypeptides that exhibit binding specificity for a specific antigen. Specific examples of antibodies include intact antibodies (e.g., classic four-chain antibody molecules), single-chain antibodies, nanobodies, and multispecific antibodies. Classical antibody molecules are typically tetramers composed of two identical heavy chains and two identical light chains interconnected by disulfide bonds. Based on conservative differences in their amino acid sequences, heavy and light chains are divided into a variable region (V) located at the amino terminus and a constant region (C) located at the carboxyl terminus. The variable region is responsible for recognizing and binding to the antigen, while the constant region (e.g., the Fc fragment) is responsible for initiating downstream effects such as antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (DCC). Within the variable regions of the heavy and light chains, there are three localized regions with a high degree of variation in amino acid composition and sequence. These regions are key locations for antibody-antigen binding and are therefore also called complementarity-determining regions (CDRs). The amino acid sequences of the CDRs can be determined using art-recognized numbering schemes, such as Kabat, Chothia, IMGT, AbM, or Contact. The three complementarity-determining regions of the heavy chain are referred to as HCDR1, HCDR2, and HCDR3, respectively, while the three complementarity-determining regions of the light chain are referred to as LCDR1, LCDR2, and LCDR3, respectively. Each heavy chain variable region (VH) and light chain variable region (VL) is composed of three CDRs and four FR regions, arranged from amino-terminus to carboxyl-terminus in the following order: FR1, CDR1, FR2, CDR2, FR3, CDR3, and FR4.

[0026] The term "nanobody" is also called "single domain antibody (sdAb)" or "V H "H antibody" refers to an antibody molecule with antigen-binding ability, including the heavy chain variable region but without the light chain.

[0027] The term "specific binding" means that the Nanobody reacts with a specific target antigen more frequently, more rapidly, longer lastingly and / or with greater affinity than with other target antigens.

[0028] The term "sequence identity" is also referred to as "sequence homology", which refers to the degree of identity between amino acid sequences or nucleotide sequences, generally expressed as a percentage.

[0029] In this application, "functionally conservative variant" or "variant" refers to an amino acid sequence in which one or more amino acid substitutions, deletions, or insertions are introduced on the basis of the parental amino acid sequence without changing the required properties (such as antigen affinity and / or antigen specificity). It can be understood that on the basis of the specific nanobody sequences provided in this application, corresponding variants of the nanobodies provided in this application can be obtained by replacing, deleting, adding a small number of amino acids and verifying or screening the binding ability or biological activity of the obtained products to the corresponding antigens, and these variants should also be included within the scope of this application.

[0030] The term "multivalent construct" refers to a construct having at least two antigen-binding sites / binding units. Multivalent constructs can be, but are not limited to, bivalent constructs, trivalent constructs, or tetravalent constructs.

[0031] The terms "nucleic acid molecule", "nucleic acid", and "polynucleotide" are used interchangeably and refer to a polymer of nucleotides. Such nucleotide polymers can contain natural and / or non-natural nucleotides. "Nucleic acid sequence" refers to the linear sequence of nucleotides contained in a nucleic acid molecule or polynucleotide.

[0032] The term "fusion protein" refers to a protein molecule artificially generated (e.g., by genetic engineering techniques) composed of at least two different peptide segments. These peptide segments do not exist in nature or do not exist in the same protein molecule. Common fusion proteins including antibody fragments include, but are not limited to, bispecific antibodies, enzyme-labeled antibodies for immunoassays, etc.

[0033] The term "vector" refers to a nucleic acid molecule that can be engineered to contain a polynucleotide of interest (such as the coding sequence of a polypeptide of interest) or a nucleic acid molecule that can replicate in a host cell (e.g., nucleic acid, plasmid, or virus, etc.). A vector can include one or more of the following components: an origin of replication, one or more regulatory sequences that regulate the expression of the polynucleotide of interest (such as a promoter and / or enhancer), and / or one or more selectable marker genes (such as antibiotic resistance genes and genes that can be used for colorimetric analysis, e.g., β-galactosidase). The term "expression vector" refers to a vector used to express a polypeptide of interest in a host cell.

[0034] This application provides a nanobody that specifically binds to AAV2. The heavy chain variable region of the nanobody includes complementarity-determining regions CDR1, CDR2, and CDR3. The amino acid sequences of the complementarity-determining regions of the above nanobody are selected from any one of the groups (1)-(11): (1): CDR1 with the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO.1, CDR2 with the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO.2, and CDR3 with the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO.3; (2): CDR1 with the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO.8, CDR2 with the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO.9, and CDR3 with the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO.10; (3): CDR1 with the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO.14, CDR2 with the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO.15, and CDR3 with the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO.16; (4): CDR1 with the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO.20, CDR2 with the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO.21, and CDR3 with the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO.22; (5): CDR1 with the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO.26, CDR2 with the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO.27, and CDR3 with the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO.28; (6): CDR1 with the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO.31, CDR2 with the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO.32, and CDR3 with the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO.33; (7): CDR1 with the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO.35, CDR2 with the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO.36, and CDR3 with the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO.37; (8): CDR1 with the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO.40, CDR2 with the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO.41, and CDR3 with the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO.42; (9): An amino acid sequence having at least 90% sequence homology with (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (6), (7), or (8); (10): A functionally conservative variant of the amino acid sequence shown in (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (6), (7), or (8) that has undergone one or more of amino acid substitution, deletion, or insertion; (11): A chemically modified sequence of the amino acid sequence shown in (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (6), (7), or (8).

[0035] The nanobody provided by the present application can specifically bind to AAV2 adeno-associated virus and does not bind to other AAV serotypes such as AAV5, AAV8, and AAV9.

[0038] In some embodiments, the amino acid sequence of the variable region of the heavy chain of the above-mentioned nanobody is selected from any one of (I)-(IV): (I): The amino acid sequence is any one of SEQ ID NO.46 to SEQ ID NO.53; (II): An amino acid sequence having at least 90% sequence identity with (I); (III): A functionally conservative variant of the amino acid sequence shown in (I) that has undergone one or more of substitution, deletion, or insertion of one or more amino acids; (IV): A sequence in which the amino acid sequence shown in (I) has been chemically modified.

[0057] The following are the examples: Example 1 Screening of Nanobodies Against AAV2 Adeno-Associated Virus 1.1 Preparation of Alpaca Immune Library An adult healthy alpaca was immunized with purified AAV2 adeno-associated virus, and the immunization dose was 1×10 11 virus particles per animal. A total of 3 immunizations were carried out at an interval of 2 weeks.

[0059] Table 1 Primers Used for Nested PCR

[0060] 1.3 Construction of Nanobody Phage Display Library The amplified VHH gene fragment and the phagemid display vector pComb 3XSS were digested with Sfil restriction endonuclease respectively, and then the digested VHH gene fragment and the linearized vector pComb 3XSS were ligated using T4 DNA ligase. The ligation product was recovered, and the ligated product was electrotransformed into Escherichia coli (E. coli) TG1 competent cells to construct a nanobody phage display library. The library capacity was determined to be 1.83×10 9 by the plate gradient dilution method, and the cloning efficiency of the nanobody gene inserted into the vector was 98%.

[0061] 1.4 Screening for Nanobodies against Adeno-associated Virus 2 (AAV2) According to the requirements of immunoaffinity purification, it is desirable to obtain nanobodies with "fast on and fast off" binding characteristics. Different from the conventional screening strategy (the incubation time for the nanobody phage display library and antigen binding is 30 minutes), in this application, the incubation time for the library and antigen binding is significantly shortened, and at the same time, a mild elution method is adopted to screen for nanobodies against AAV2 adeno-associated virus. The specific screening steps are as follows: First round of screening: Coat a microtiter plate with AAV2 adeno-associated virus at 100 μL / well, and the virus coating dose is 1×10 11 vp / mL. Incubate overnight at 4°C, and the next day, block with 1% bovine serum albumin (BSA), and wash the microtiter plate with PBST; add 100 μL of the above-constructed nanobody phage display library, incubate at room temperature for 10 minutes, and then wash the microtiter plate with PBST and PBS respectively; add 100 μL of citrate buffer (50 mM, pH 3.0) to the microtiter plate, gently shake for 2 minutes, and collect the eluate; infect E. coli TG1 in the logarithmic growth phase with the eluate, take a small amount of the infected E. coli TG1 and determine the titer of the eluate by the plate gradient dilution method, and amplify the remaining to obtain an AAV2-specific phage enrichment library.

[0062] Second round of screening: Use the same operation as in the "first round of screening", except that the microtiter plate is blocked with 1% ovalbumin (OVA), the library incubation time is 5 minutes, and 100 μL of the enrichment library obtained from the first round of screening is used to bind to the microtiter plate coated with AAV2 adeno-associated virus. After elution and library amplification operations, an AAV2-specific phage enrichment library is obtained.

[0063] Third round of screening: Use the same operation as in the "first round of screening", except that the library incubation time is 5 minutes, and 100 μL of the enrichment library obtained from the second round of screening is used to bind to the microtiter plate coated with AAV2 adeno-associated virus.

[0064] Fourth round of screening: Use the same operation as in the "first round of screening", except that the microtiter plate is blocked with 1% ovalbumin (OVA), the library incubation time is 5 minutes, and 100 μL of the enrichment library obtained from the third round of screening is used to bind to the microtiter plate coated with AAV2 adeno-associated virus.

[0065] Infect E. coli TG1 with the phage eluate obtained from the fourth round of screening, randomly pick monoclonal colonies from the culture dish for titer determination, inoculate them into a 2 mL deep well plate, and culture at 30°C until OD 600Approximately 0.5, induced the expression of VHH with 4 mM IPTG at the final concentration, and centrifuged to collect the bacterial culture supernatant containing the nanobody. The specific reaction of the nanobody to adeno-associated virus 2 (AAV2) was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and the specific steps were as follows: Coated with 1×10 11 vp / mL of AAV2 adeno-associated virus, blocked with 5% skim milk, and then added with the appropriately diluted bacterial culture supernatant containing the nanobody, incubated at 37 °C for 1 h, washed 3 times with PBST to wash away the unbound antibodies, then added with a 1:5000 dilution of HRP-conjugated rabbit anti-goat secondary antibody, after incubation at 37 °C for 1 h, washed 3 times with PBST, and then added with TMB (3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine) substrate solution for color development for 15 min, and the color development was terminated with 2 M H2SO4. The absorbance value of each well was read at a wavelength of 450 nm. A negative control (bacterial culture supernatant containing only the blocking agent skim milk and no nanobody) and a blank well (buffer) were set. If the OD 450 value of the well to be tested was more than 3 times that of the negative control, it was determined to be positive. The detection results of the positive clones are shown in Table 2.

[0066] Table 2 Detection results of positive clones screened in this application

[0067] As can be seen from Table 2, 8 positive clones screened in this application have affinity for AAV2 adeno-associated virus.

[0068] Example 2 Preparation and large-scale production of anti-AAV2 adeno-associated virus nanobody 2.1 Preparation of anti-AAV2 adeno-associated virus nanobody The clones corresponding to the positive wells in Example 1 were preserved, and the vectors were extracted for sequencing. The antibody sequencing work was completed by Suzhou Genewiz Co., Ltd., and the VHH coding gene sequence was obtained. After translating the DNA sequence into an amino acid sequence and comparing, the clones with the same CDR1, CDR2, and CDR3 sequences were regarded as the same antibody strain, and the clones with different CDR sequences were regarded as different antibody strains.

[0069] The anti-AAV2 adeno-associated virus nanobodies A2-1 to A2-8 were obtained by sequencing. The complementarity-determining regions CDR (CDR1~CDR3) and framework regions FR (FR1~FR4) in their heavy chain variable regions are shown in Tables 3 to 10. The amino acid sequences of the heavy chain variable regions of the anti-AAV2 adeno-associated virus nanobodies A2-1 to A2-8 are shown in Table 11, and the amino acid sequences are divided based on the IMGT numbering rules.

[0079] 2.2 Large - scale production of anti - AAV2 adeno - associated virus nanobodies The VHH-encoding gene fusion sequence with a 6×His tag at the N-terminus was synthesized by gene synthesis. Among them, the VHH-encoding gene can be any one of nanobodies A2-1 to A2-8. Then, the fusion gene was inserted between the NcoI and NheI restriction sites of the PET25b vector. The obtained expression vector PET25b was transformed into Escherichia coli Rosetta(DE3) competent cells to obtain a VHH-expressing recombinant strain. The recombinant strain was inoculated into LB medium containing 50 μg / mL ampicillin (Amp) at an inoculation amount of 1%, and cultured with shaking at 37 °C until OD 600 reached 0.8. IPTG with a final concentration of 0.5 mM was added, and induction was carried out at 22 °C and 200 rpm for 16 h. The supernatant was discarded by centrifugation, and the cells were resuspended in 20 mL of PBS (20 mM, pH 7.4) buffer. The supernatant was discarded by centrifugation again. The washed cell mass was resuspended in 20 mL of PBS and sonicated for 3 - 5 min to break the cell suspension until the solution became clear. Then, centrifugation was carried out at 10,000 rpm for 20 min to separate the supernatant. The supernatant of the broken cells was purified by a nickel column (SC-Ni NTA FF affinity column, product number SCB0E005B). The impurities were washed with 10 column volumes (CV) of washing buffer (PBS + 10 mM imidazole), and the target protein was eluted with 2 CV of elution buffer (PBS + 250 mM imidazole). The eluted sample was dialyzed in PBS buffer at 4 °C for 16 h, and then concentrated using a 3 KDa ultrafiltration tube to obtain purified nanobodies. The protein concentration was determined by the BCA method, and the purity was detected by SDS-PAGE.

[0080] The SDS-PAGE detection results showed that the purity of anti-AAV2 adeno-associated virus nanobodies A2-1 to A2-8 was greater than 95%.

[0081] Example 3 Specificity of anti-AAV2 adeno-associated virus nanobodies A2-1 to A2-8 Coat 1×10 11 vp / mL of AAV2, AAV5, AAV8, and AAV9 adeno-associated viruses, block with 5% skim milk, and add different nanobody solutions (nanobodies A2-1 to A2-8) respectively. After binding at 37 °C for 1 h, wash 3 times with PBST to wash away unbound antibodies. Then, add a 1:5000 diluted HRP-conjugated rabbit anti-goat secondary antibody. After binding at 37 °C for 1 h, wash 3 times with PBST, and then add TMB (3,3',5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine) substrate solution for color development for 15 min. Stop the color development with 2 M H2SO4. Read the absorbance value of each well at a wavelength of 450 nm. The specific detection results are shown in Table 12.

[0082] Table 12 Specificity of nanobodies A2-1 to A2-8

[0083] As shown in Table 12, it can be seen that the nanobodies A2-1 to A2-8 provided in this application only bind to AAV2 and do not bind to other serotype viruses such as AAV5, AAV8, and AAV9, indicating that the nanobodies A2-1 to A2-8 provided in this application can specifically bind to adeno-associated virus AAV2.

[0084] Example 4 Preparation of nanobody-conjugated affinity packing material and purification of adeno-associated virus AAV2 using the same 4.1 Pre-activation of affinity packing material Take 2 g of NHS-activated 4FF affinity packing material (product number SCB0E009), and filter and wash it 3 times with pre-cooled 1 mM hydrochloric acid (0°C - 4°C), with each washing for 10 min.

[0085] 4.2 Preparation of nanobody solution The purified nanobody (nanobodies A2-1 to A2-8) solution was exchanged into the coupling buffer (sodium bicarbonate buffer, pH 8.5) using a 3KDa ultrafiltration membrane, and the protein concentration was determined by the BCA protein quantification method.

[0086] 4.3 Conjugation of nanobody to affinity packing material Add 2 g of NHS-activated 4FF affinity packing material to 6 mL of nanobody solution. The mass ratio of the affinity packing material to the nanobody is 1 g:10 mg. React at 28°C and 250 rpm for 3.5 h. After the reaction, block it overnight with 1 M ethanolamine (pH 8.0) to obtain the affinity packing material conjugated with nanobody.

[0087] 4.4 Preparation of AAV virus loading solution The harvested solution of AAV virus (adeno-associated viruses AAV2, AAV5, AAV8, AAV9) obtained after fermentation was lysed using Tween 20, and nuclease was added for incubation. The incubated fermentation broth was filtered through a 0.22 μm filter membrane to obtain the AAV supernatant. Then, the AAV supernatant was concentrated and exchanged using an ultrafiltration membrane to make the AAV sample after exchange consistent with the affinity packing material equilibration solution. The sample after exchange was passed through a 0.22 μm filter membrane, and the filtrate was collected as the AAV virus loading solution for the affinity packing material.

[0088] 4.5 Purification of adeno-associated virus AAV using the affinity packing material conjugated with nanobody Load 1 mL of the affinity packing material conjugated with nanobody prepared in step 4.3 into a chromatography column, and use the AAV2 adeno-associated virus loading solution prepared in step 4.4 for loading respectively to detect the purification effect. Before purification, equilibrate the chromatography column with PBS equilibration solution. After loading, elute the chromatography column with citric acid (pH 2.5), phosphoric acid (pH 1.9), and 4 M guanidine hydrochloride respectively. Use the qPCR method to detect the viral genome titer in the eluted sample. The specific operation is as follows: After diluting the sample 10 - 100 times with purified water, take 200 μL of the diluted sample for double enzyme digestion with nuclease and proteinase K. After treatment, dilute the sample appropriately by several times, configure the qPCR reaction system (as shown in Table 13), and perform detection according to the qPCR reaction program (as shown in Table 14). The primers used in qPCR include the upstream primer Q-F and the downstream primer Q-R. The nucleotide sequence of the upstream primer Q-F is: 5’-CCGTTGTCAGGCAACGTG-3’; the nucleotide sequence of the downstream primer Q-R is: 5’-AGCTGACAGGTGGTGGCAAT-3’. Calculate the AAV purification yield according to the viral genome titers of the sample before and after purification. The recovery rate calculation method is: (viral genome titer in the purified sample / viral genome titer in the loading solution) × 100%. At the same time, use SDS-PAGE silver staining to detect the purity of the eluted sample.

[0089] Among them, the control group is the imported packing material AVIpure AAV2 affinity resin.

[0092] The qPCR detection results of the affinity packing materials conjugated with 8 nanobodies respectively prepared in this application for purifying AAV2, AAV5, AAV8, and AAV9 adeno-associated viruses are shown in Table 15. Among them, AC-Load represents the sample before purification of the adeno-associated virus. This sample has been clarified and filtered and has been exchanged into the PBS equilibration solution in the purification step; AC-FT represents the flow-through in the purification step; AC-E represents the virus eluate in the purification step. Most of the purified virus will be eluted in the citric acid (pH 2.5) eluate. Figure 1 The SDS-PAGE silver staining detection results of the AAV2 virus purified by the affinity packing materials conjugated with 8 nanobodies respectively prepared in this application are shown. Among them, the lane Marker represents the molecular marker.

[0093] Table 15 qPCR detection results of the affinity packing material conjugated with nanobody for purifying AAV2 adeno-associated virus

[0094] As shown in Table 15, Figure 1 it can be seen that after the 8 nanobodies prepared by the present application are respectively conjugated with affinity fillers, they can be used to purify AAV2 virus. During the purification process, the AAV2 virus can be captured and eluted very gently; and the purity of the recovered AAV2 virus is high.

[0095] In summary, the nanobodies A2-1 to A2-8 prepared by the present application can specifically bind to AAV2 adeno-associated virus, and have good effect on affinity purification of AAV2 virus. In addition, the preparation process of the nanobodies provided by the present application is short, and the incubation and binding time of the phage library containing nanobodies and the antigen (AAV2 adeno-associated virus) is only 10 minutes. During actual production, it can greatly reduce the production cost and is conducive to batch production.

[0096] It is easy for those skilled in the art to understand that the above are only the preferred embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the present application. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, and improvements made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
