Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of biological medicine, in particular to a camel-derived nanobody against feline calicivirus and use thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Feline calicivirus (FCV) belongs to Caliciviridae and Vesivirus. The virus structure is a 20-sided symmetrical spherical non-enveloped virus with a diameter of 35-39 nm. Caliciviridae is composed of five genera, namely Leporid virus, Neuburg virus, Norovirus, Sapporo virus and Vesivirus, which can all infect mammals.

[0003] Feline calicivirus mainly causes acute oral and upper respiratory tract disease, chronic gingivostomatitis (CGS), lameness syndrome, claw mouth disease and virulent systemic feline calicivirus infection (VS-FCV) in cats. The pathological manifestations mainly include subcutaneous edema, oral ulcer, lameness, and skin ulceration in the claw part. FCV has a high prevalence rate, and some strains cause high mortality of virulent systemic feline calicivirus infection, which can reach 50%. The treatment of feline calicivirus is mainly antiviral therapy and symptomatic treatment, and there is currently a lack of specific and effective drugs. Existing vaccines have weak cross-protection against the disease and cannot fully cover the currently prevalent strains. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a new generation of highly effective and broad-spectrum feline calicivirus neutralizing antibody.

[0004] Specific antibody therapy is currently recognized as a relatively effective treatment method, while conventional antibody molecules have a molecular weight of 150 KDa, and their stability is greatly affected by temperature, and they cannot pass through the blood-brain barrier. Nanobodies (Nb) prepared based on the variable region of heavy chain antibodies of Camelidae have the advantages of small molecular weight, strong penetration, and high temperature resistance, and have been increasingly applied in drug research and development as well as structure and function research in recent years. Nanobodies, due to their structural characteristics, have unique epitope binding properties that traditional whole molecule antibodies do not have, and have high binding activity with antigens, good tissue penetration, high water solubility, good immunogenicity, easy genetic engineering modification, and other advantages, and have great application prospects. However, the development and application of nanobodies against feline calicivirus have not been reported. Therefore, it is urgent to develop anti-feline calicivirus nanobodies to effectively prevent and control feline calicivirus infection and prevalence. SUMMARY

[0032] The feline calicivirus ocular and nasal swabs of the present invention were preserved by the Animal Disease Prevention and Control Laboratory of the Institute of Special Agricultural Products, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences.

[0033] Example 1: Preparation of feline calicivirus (FCV) immunogen

[0034] 1. Pathogen processing and virus identification

[0035] Eye and nasal swabs were collected from cats suspected of having FCV at an animal hospital in Changchun City, Jilin Province. The swabs were stored in sterile PBS at -80°C. Before use, the swabs were slowly thawed at 4°C, centrifuged at 2000 rpm for 5 min, and the supernatant was collected, filtered through a 0.22 μm filter membrane, and stored at -80°C.

[0036] F81 cells with a viability of over 95% and a density of approximately 70% were collected. In a clean bench, the old culture medium in the cell culture flask was discarded, and 10 mL of PBS solution was added. The flask was gently agitated and washed, and the PBS solution was discarded. This process was repeated once. 8 mL of trypsin was added, and the flask was gently agitated at room temperature to digest the cells. The trypsin was discarded. Once the cells were atomized and slightly detached, 15 mL of DMEM cell culture medium containing 8% fetal bovine serum was added to stop the digestion. The flask walls were repeatedly rinsed until all cells detached. 50 μL of the homogeneous cell suspension was mixed with trypan blue staining solution at a 1:9 ratio to determine the cell concentration. As needed, an appropriate amount of cell suspension was taken and diluted to 1×10⁻⁶ using DMEM cell culture medium containing 8% fetal bovine serum. 5 Add cells / mL to a new cell culture flask and culture in a cell culture incubator at 37℃ and 5% CO2. Set up a normal cell control at the same time. After the cells adhere to the wall for 1 hour, add 100 μL of the above-prepared pathogen supernatant and continue to culture and observe cytopathic effects. When about 70% of the cells show cytopathic effects, freeze and thaw the cell virus solution three times at -20℃, mix well, aliquot and store at -80℃.

[0037] Approximately 24 hours after viral inoculation, F81 cells exhibited typical cytopathic effects such as deformity, shedding, and grape-like clustering. Figure 1 (Medium B), while the control group was established, and the cell morphology was normal ( Figure 1FCV was preliminarily proved to proliferate in F81 cells.

[0038] 2. Purification assay

[0039] TCID assay 50 (TCID 50 = 10 -7.23 / 0.1 mL) and PCR identification using specific primers capable of amplifying the conserved sequence of FCV, a strain of FCV was successfully isolated; the virus was amplified in large quantities, and about 20 L of cell virus liquid was collected, which was concentrated using PEG6000, and then purified by sucrose density gradient centrifugation; the purified product was identified by SDS-PAGE and transmission electron microscopy, and the concentration of the purified virus was determined using a BCA protein concentration determination kit, thereby obtaining pure and high-concentration FCV virus particles.

[0040] Example 2 Construction of nanobody library

[0041] The FCV virus after concentration and purification was used to immunize a bactrian camel, and serum was taken 1 week after each immunization to monitor the antibody level; 1 week after the fifth immunization, the serum affinity and neutralization titer reached a high level; at this time, about 200 mL of blood was collected, the lymphocytes in the serum were separated, RNA was extracted and reverse transcribed into cDNA, VHH sequences were amplified using specific primers, and were inserted into linearized pR2 phagemid through homologous recombination; after electrotransformation into E. coli TG1, an M13 phage display library displaying VHH was obtained, and the library capacity was 1.571 x 10 9 ; 30 clones were randomly picked from the library for DNA sequencing analysis, and the sequence analysis results showed that the accuracy of the library was about 86.2%.

[0042] Example 3 Screening of specific nanobody sequences

[0043] The present application adopts the rod-shaped FCV-VP1 protein expressed and purified, is used for screening specific phage library, takes it as a coating agent, and carries out three rounds of screening through specific binding of the coating agent and the antibody, so as to enrich specific phages. After each round of screening, the phages in the eluate are amplified, and the enrichment degree is determined by determining the titer and Phage ELISA. It is found that with the increase of the screening rounds, the P / N value rises continuously, proving that the specific phages are effectively enriched. Through PCR amplification of VHH sequences and small-batch amplification of phages and Phage ELISA detection, 51 phage strains with good affinity activity are screened from 96 monoclonal strains. The VHH sequences of the 51 strains are analyzed, and through deletion of redundant sequences, analysis of the functional region and homology analysis, finally 2 FCV nanobodies meeting the conditions are obtained, and are named as VHH-V14 and VHH-V29 respectively, and the amino acid sequences are shown as SEQ ID NO. 1-2.

[0082] Purify the supernatant of the large-batch prokaryotic induction expression of VHH-V14 and VHH-V29 proteins according to the His tag purification filler instructions, and identify the flow-through, equilibration liquid and eluate collected during the purification process using SDS-PAGE (see Figure 5 ), the results show that VHH-V14 and VHH-V29 proteins are well purified; centrifugal the eluate identified as positive using ultrafiltration tube (3 kDa), replace the solution with PBS, and determine the concentrations of VHH-V14 and VHH-V29 proteins to be 1.03 mg / mL and 1.23 mg / mL respectively, and perform Western-Blot identification (see Figure 6), the results showed that VHH-V14 and VHH-V29 could specifically bind to FCV-VP1, and the prokaryotic expression VHH-V14 and VHH-V29 proteins were relatively pure.

[0083] 2.4 Neutralization titer detection of VHH-V14 and VHH-V29 proteins

[0084] The purified and concentrated VHH-V14 and VHH-V29 proteins were diluted to 1 mg / mL with PBS solution, filtered with a 0.22 μm filter membrane in a clean bench, and used as samples. After the antigen-antibody neutralization, the F81 cells were inoculated, the cytopathic effect was observed, the neutralization titer was calculated according to the Reed-Muench method, and the data were recorded and counted. Figure 7 The results showed that the IC 50 of VHH-V14 was 0.6536 mg / mL, and the IC 50 of VHH-V29 was 0.6931 mg / mL, both of which had good neutralization activity.
