Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a monoclonal antibody 27H4 against the N protein of influenza A virus, its preparation method, and its application, belonging to the field of antibody technology. Background Technology

[0002] Influenza is a highly contagious respiratory illness caused by the influenza virus. Common symptoms include fatigue, fever, chills, dry cough, and body aches. These symptoms usually subside on their own within 1-2 weeks, but complications can occur, leading to life-threatening secondary infections.

[0003] Influenza viruses that infect humans are mainly classified into three types: A, B, and C. These viruses can be further subdivided into different subtypes and strains. The emergence of new influenza strains each year is due to both the slow mutation capacity of the influenza virus and its rapid recombination mechanism. Slow mutation leads to annual seasonal fluctuations, while rapid recombination can induce new strains that trigger global pandemics.

[0004] Influenza A virus (Flu A) is particularly prone to genetic recombination due to its wide host range (covering humans, dogs, birds, pigs, horses, whales, seals, and other animals). Specifically, the genome of influenza A virus consists of eight loosely linked segments, each carrying at least one key gene. These genes are responsible for directing the expression of major viral proteins such as hemagglutinin (HA), neuraminidase (NA), and nucleoprotein (NP).

[0005] Currently, influenza diagnostic methods include rapid influenza diagnostic tests (immunodiagnostics), direct fluorescent antibody staining, virus culture, and molecular detection. These tests can typically distinguish between influenza A and influenza B, and can also identify different subtypes of influenza A. Immunodiagnostic reagents have been in routine use since their FDA approval in 1999. These reagents are easy to use, inexpensive, and can produce results rapidly within 10-30 minutes, allowing doctors to prescribe antiviral drugs within their effective period (1-2 days after symptom onset). Most immunodiagnostic reagents detect nucleoproteins (NPs), which are highly conserved proteins in influenza viruses and are not prone to mutation. The main limitation of current mainstream methods is their low sensitivity and instability. To significantly improve detection sensitivity, the development of monoclonal antibodies capable of recognizing existing and emerging strains is crucial. Summary of the Invention

[0033] S1.1 Construction of H1N1-NP, H1N1-NP-N and H1N1-NP-C protein expression plasmids: The gene encoding the H1N1-NP protein was selected, and codon optimization was performed according to Escherichia coli preferences. GenScript was commissioned to clone the target gene into the pET-28a(+) vector and synthesize plasmids expressing the target gene. H1N1-NP, H1N1-NP-N and H1N1-NP-C are all linked to his tag via linker peptides.

[0034] S1.2 Transformation to obtain expression strains: The target plasmid was transformed into competent cells of BL21 Escherichia coli and incubated overnight at 37°C in kanamycin-resistant solid LB medium. Single clones were selected and cultured in 5 ml of liquid kanamycin-resistant LB medium at 37°C and 230 rpm. A portion of the cultured bacterial solution was added to a final concentration of 15% glycerol and stored at -20°C.

[0035] S1.3 strain culture and induction

[0063] S2 immunized mice

[0064] The H1N1-NP prepared above was used as an immunogen and emulsified with an equal volume of Freund's complete adjuvant (Sigma). 200 μg / mouse was injected subcutaneously at multiple sites in 6-8 week old SPF-grade Balb / c mice. 100 μg / mouse was injected subcutaneously at multiple sites in 2 weeks after emulsifying the antigen with Freund's incomplete adjuvant. Two booster immunizations were performed. Three days before fusion, a shock immunization was administered via intraperitoneal injection.

[0065] S3 cell fusion and subcloning screening

[0066] Spleens were harvested from immunized mice, and dispersed single spleen cells were obtained by grinding and separation. Spleen cells and myeloma cells were fused using an electrofusion apparatus. After standing, the cells were transferred to culture medium and seeded into 96-well plates. The medium was changed after one week, and the supernatant was used for ELISA detection. H1N1-NP was used as the detection precursor, and goat anti-mouse IgG-HRP (sigma) was used as the enzyme-labeled secondary antibody. The cell supernatant was evaluated. Positive wells were selected for further ELISA fractional detection. Wells containing H1N1-NP-N and H1N1-NP-C proteins were used as fractional detection precursors, and goat anti-mouse IgG-HRP (sigma) was used as the enzyme-labeled secondary antibody. The cell supernatant was evaluated, and wells recognizing H1N1-NP-N and H1N1-NP-C proteins were selected for further limiting dilution subcloning. After one week of culture, ELISA detection was repeated 3-4 times until all wells were positive and the cells in the wells were single colonies. The resulting hybridoma cell line, 27H4, was obtained through expansion culture. The selected 27H4 protein recognizes the H1N1-NP-N segment but not the H1N1-NP-C segment.

[0067] The results of ELISA detection of antibody activity in the 27H4 tumor cell line are shown in Table 1. Table 1 shows that the screened 27H4 monoclonal antibody can recognize the NP proteins of influenza A virus subtypes H1N1 and H3N2, but not the NP protein of influenza B virus (FluB-NP), demonstrating specificity.

[0068] Table 1

[0069]

[0070] S4 gene retrieval

[0071] Hybridoma cell line 27H4 was expanded and cultured. mRNA was extracted and cDNA product was obtained by reverse transcription. The product was inserted into the pMD-19T vector after A addition reaction with rTaq DNA polymerase. The vector was then transformed into DH5α competent cells. Ten plaques of heavy chain and light chain gene clones were sent to a gene sequencing company for sequencing.

[0072] Sequence analysis of the S5 antibody gene

[0073] The gene sequences obtained from the sequencing were analyzed in the IMGT antibody database, and the correct heavy and light chain variable region genes were identified using snapgene software.

[0074] Construction of S6 recombinant antibody expression plasmid

[0075] A recombinant antibody expression vector was constructed using the existing signal peptide and constant region pTT5 as the vector. Based on the sequencing results of the variable region gene in pMD-19T, light and heavy chain specific primer pairs for homologous recombination were designed. Light and heavy chain gene fragments were obtained by PCR amplification. Homologous primers were designed for the existing signal peptide and constant region pTT5 vector, as shown in Table 2. The vector fragments were recovered by electrophoresis after PCR amplification. Homologous ligation of the gene and vector fragments was performed, and the cells were transformed into DH5α competent cells. After positive colony PCR verification, the cells were sequenced. Normal colonies were picked and expanded, and vector plasmids containing the heavy and light chain variable regions were extracted, abbreviated as pTT5-27H4-H and pTT5-27H4-L.

[0077]

[0078] S7 recombinant antibody expression

[0079] The target plasmid obtained in the above steps was transfected into 293F cells using the PEI transfection method. After successful transfection, the cells were incubated in an incubator for 24 hours, and then an equal volume of SMM 293-TII fresh medium was added. The cells were allowed to grow to 4 × 10⁶ cells / year. 6 At a density of cells / mL, 1% (v / v) of SMS 293-SUPI feed medium was added daily, and the cells were returned to an incubator at 37°C, 8% CO2, and 120 rpm for 96 h to obtain 293F cell culture medium expressing the 27H4 recombinant antibody.

[0080] S7 Recombinant Antibody Purification

[0081] The 293F cell culture medium expressing the recombinant antibody 27H4 obtained in the above steps was centrifuged at 9000 rpm for 15 min, and the supernatant was collected and filtered through a 0.22 μm filter membrane. Protein G was used for protein purification. Before use, the Protein G column was equilibrated with 5 column volumes of equilibration buffer containing 0.02 M PB and 0.15 M NaCl at pH 7.4. The supernatant obtained by centrifugation was then passed through the column and washed with 5 column volumes of equilibration buffer containing 0.02 M PB and 0.15 M NaCl at pH 7.4. Elution was then performed with 5 column volumes of elution buffer containing 0.1 M Glycine-HCl at pH 2.7, and the elution buffer was immediately neutralized with 1.0 M Tris-HCl at pH 9.0. Finally, the purified antibody was dialyzed into PBS at pH 8.0 to obtain the recombinant anti-FluA-NP antibody 27H4.

[0082] Sequence information of anti-FluA NP antibody 27H4 was obtained through sequencing.
