Abstract

TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of monoclonal antibody preparation and immunological detection technology, in particular to a reagent or kit for detecting E2 by antibody sandwich method and application thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Estradiol (E2) is an 18-carbon steroid hormone with a benzene ring in the A ring, and its molecular weight is 272.4 Da. It is the main component of human estrogen. 70% of E2 in the blood is combined with sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG), 25% of E2 is combined with plasma albumin, and the rest is free. E2 is mainly produced by ovarian follicles, corpus luteum and placenta during pregnancy, and a small amount is synthesized by testes or is a metabolite of testosterone, and becomes the main source of male estrogen. The synthesis of E2 changes periodically, can promote the formation and development of female reproductive organs, the appearance and maintenance of secondary sexual characteristics, and cooperate with progesterone to form the menstrual cycle. In addition, it also has a wide range of metabolic regulation effects.
[0003] During normal pregnancy, E2 is slightly elevated, and sharply decreases after the placenta is delivered. During abnormal pregnancy, E2 is mostly elevated, such as twin or multiple pregnancy and diabetic pregnant women; if E2 is reduced, it may be severe preeclampsia, fetal death in utero or gestational trophoblastic disease, and should be determined in combination with other examinations. In addition, the pathological causes of E2 elevation may also be ovarian cancer (such as ovarian granulosa cell tumor, ovarian embryoma, ovarian lipoid cell tumor, etc.), heart disease (such as myocardial infarction, angina pectoris, coronary artery stenosis) and other diseases (systemic lupus erythematosus, cirrhosis, male obesity, etc.). There are many pathological factors that cause E2 to decrease, such as low ovarian development, primary ovarian failure, pituitary amenorrhea or infertility, Cushing's syndrome, Addison's disease, malignant tumors, large area of infection, renal insufficiency, brain and pituitary focal lesions, etc. As can be seen, E2 has a wide significance for the diagnosis of clinical diseases, and is one of the important evaluation indexes.
[0004] At present, the detection methods of E2 mainly include chemiluminescence competition method, which is an immunological detection method based on the specific reaction of antibody and antigen, and uses luminescent substances (such as acridinium ester, isoluminol, etc.) to amplify and display the detected signal. Similar immunological detection methods include enzyme-linked method, immunoturbidimetry, radioimmunoassay, fluorescent immunochromatography, etc. The above immunological detection methods all need antibodies against E2. However, the prior art still lacks E2 antibodies with high activity. Therefore, there is a strong demand in the art for antibodies that effectively bind to E2 and detect it. SUMMARY
[0005] In view of the above, the application provides a reagent or kit for detecting E2 by antibody sandwich method and application thereof. The paired monoclonal antibody has high specificity and high detection sensitivity, and solves the problems of low content of E2 in human serum and difficulty in detection. The monoclonal antibody is applied to a magnetic particle estradiol detection kit. The E2 content in serum is detected, and combined with other sex hormone index detection and clinical manifestations, which is helpful for diagnosis of sex hormone disorder diseases, such as detection of diseases in hypothalamus-pituitary-gonadal axis, male breast development, estrogen-producing ovarian and testicular tumors, and adrenal cortical hyperplasia.

[0053] The application discloses a reagent or kit for detecting E2 by an antibody sandwich method and application thereof, and a person skilled in the art can refer to the content herein, and appropriately improve process parameters to realize. It is particularly pointed out that all similar replacements and changes are obvious to a person skilled in the art, and they are regarded as being included in the protection scope of the present application. The method and application of the present application have been described by preferred embodiments, and relevant personnel can obviously make changes or appropriate changes and combinations to the method and application described herein without departing from the content, spirit and scope of the present application, to realize and apply the present application.
[0054] As to the definition and terms in the field, the professionals can refer to Current Protocols in Molecular Biology (Ausubel). The abbreviations of amino acid residues are standard 3-letter and / or 1-letter codes used in the field to represent one of 20 commonly used L-amino acids.
[0055] Antigen refers to a substance capable of stimulating the body to produce (specific) immune response, and can be combined with immune response product antibody and sensitized lymphocytes in vivo and in vitro, and immune effect (specific reaction) occurs. Antigen is divided into complete antigen and hapten. Small molecules are haptens, which have no immunogenicity and cannot cause immune response. However, after the combination of haptens and large molecular proteins, the immunogenicity is obtained and the complete antigen is changed, which can stimulate the immune system to produce antibodies and effector cells.
[0056] Antibody refers to the immunoglobulin produced by B lymphocytes transformed into plasma cells after the animal body is stimulated by antigenic substances, which can have specific binding reaction with corresponding antigens. The preparation method of antibody has experienced three stages: the first stage, the antigen with multiple antigenic determinants is selected as the immunogen, the animal is immunized by the conventional method, the lymphocytes in the body are activated, the antibodies against multiple antigenic determinants are produced, and the obtained antiserum is polyclonal antibody; the second stage, the fusion of hybridoma cells and B cells producing specific antibodies forms hybridoma cells, and the first monoclonal antibody is obtained; the third stage, with the rapid development of DNA recombination technology and other molecular biology technologies, the gene engineering antibody is prepared by using molecular biology means, which is called the third generation antibody. Compared with the hybridoma monoclonal antibody, one immunophages antibody library can enrich antigen specific antibody, can produce more and better antibodies, and even the affinity is higher than that of the antibody obtained from the traditional technology.
[0057] Most phage display technologies commonly use filamentous phages as carriers, such as M13, fd and f1. Filamentous phages mainly have five kinds of coat proteins: PⅢ, PⅥ, PⅦ, PⅧ and PⅨ, and the fusion proteins for antibody display mainly have two kinds: PⅢ and PⅧ. PⅢ is the largest molecule in the coat protein, and its spatial structure has flexibility and variability. The C terminal of PⅢ is a hydrophobic region, which is anchored on the coat, and the N terminal is free, which can insert large fragments of foreign proteins at its N terminal without affecting the structure and function of the phage. The C terminal of PⅧ protein mainly contains basic amino acid residues, which is easy to combine with DNA; the middle region is a hydrophobic region forming a phage coat; the N terminal is free and exposed on the phage surface, and the foreign sequence with 5-6 amino acid residues is generally fused at the N terminal, and each virion has about 2700 copies, and the fusion protein containing PⅧ can be multivalent displayed, and then the target gene is obtained by affinity screening. In the PⅧ protein display system, the copy number of the fusion protein is relatively high, generally about 2700, and generally no more than 6 amino acids of antibody polypeptide, otherwise it will affect the assembly of phage and reduce its infectivity. Because a larger polypeptide or even an entire protein gene fragment can be inserted in gPⅢ, a fragment of more than 50 ku has been successfully displayed, and the copy number of PⅢ is low (about 5 copies), which is beneficial to the screening of high affinity ligands.
[0058] The general procedure for preparing a natural antibody phage library is to extract total RNA from immune antibody cells (pre-B, mature B, memory B cells), which are usually obtained from immune organs (bone marrow, spleen, lymph nodes and tonsils) and peripheral blood. The first strand of cDNA is formed by reverse transcription using 6 nucleotide random primers, poly T or designed PCR downstream primers. The upstream primer is designed according to the 5' end sequence of the FR1 region or the conserved region of the guide sequence of the antibody framework region; the downstream primer of the ScFv library is designed from the conserved sequence of the hinge region (J region), and the Fab antibody library is designed from the constant sequence. One of the defects in screening is that some rare antibodies and low-affinity antibodies are often lost with multiple rounds of phage selection, and the affinity of the antibodies is low. The higher the diversity of the phage library, the higher the success rate of screening high-affinity antibodies.
[0059] An antibody exists as one or more Y-shaped monomers, each Y-shaped monomer consisting of four polypeptide chains, including two identical heavy chains and two identical light chains. The top of the Y-shaped structure is the variable region, which is the antigen binding region. The "variable region" of the heavy chain or light chain of an antibody is the N-terminal mature region of the chain. The heavy chains of human antibodies include five types of a, d, e, g and m, and the corresponding antibodies are called IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG and IgM. Among them, human g can be further divided into g1, g2, g3, g4 and other subtypes, corresponding to IgG1, IgG2, IgG3 and IgG4 four subtypes, and the light chain is of two types of l and k. Among them, IgG1 is the most abundant subtype in plasma.
[0060] An "antibody" includes any isotype of antibody or immunoglobulin, or an antibody fragment that maintains specific binding to an antigen, including but not limited to Fab, Fv, scFv and Fd fragments, chimeric antibodies, humanized antibodies, single-chain antibodies and fusion proteins containing antigen-binding portions of antibodies and non-antibody proteins. Antibodies can be labeled and detected, for example, by radioisotopes, enzymes capable of producing detectable substances, fluorescent proteins, biotin, etc. Antibodies can also be bound to solid phase carriers, including but not limited to polystyrene plates or beads, etc.

[0130] Example 3 Recombinant monoclonal antibody expression and antibody purification
[0131] 1. Construction of stable cell strain
[0132] The heavy chain constant region and variable region and the light chain constant region and variable region are connected by Overlap-PCR method respectively to obtain the heavy chain and light chain recombinant antibody gene sequence. The heavy chain antibody gene sequence and the light chain antibody gene sequence are double enzyme cut by XmaJI / BstZ17I and EcoRV / PacI respectively, and then linked on the expression vector pCHO 1.0. The constructed recombinant plasmid is transformed into competent DH5α cells, and the positive clones are selected by screening plate, sequenced and plasmid extracted. The extracted plasmid is linearized by RruI enzyme and then transfected into FD-CHOS cells.
[0133] After 48 h of transfection, the expression of the antibody was detected by ELISA, and then the positive cell pool was screened using a pressure culture medium containing 200 nM MTX and 20 μg / mL Puromycin. After the cell viability recovered from the first pressure, the screening concentration was continuously increased (1000 MTX and 50 μg / mL Puromycin) to perform the second pressure. After the cell viability recovered from the second pressure, the construction of the stable cell pool was completed. Then, the stable cell pool was used for monoclonal screening, and a monoclonal antibody cell strain capable of stable high expression was screened.
[0134] 2. Recombinant antibody expression
[0135] The selected monoclonal cell strain with stable high expression was recovered, and was subcultured at a density of 5×10^5 cells / mL. When the cell viability recovered to not less than 95%, the evaluation was started. The feeding strategy was as follows: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 d... feeding, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 d... adding sugar to 5 g / L, and then culturing until the cell viability decreased to less than 70%, and then the cell supernatant was harvested, so that the supernatant containing Ab1 and Ab2 was obtained.
[0136] 3. Antibody SPA purification and SDS-PAGE identification
[0137] The chromatography workstation was used to purify 200 mL of the cell supernatant, and the SPA column with a capacity of 10 mL was set. The flow rate was set to 8 mL / min, the chromatography column was flushed with the equilibrium buffer 0.02 mol / L PBS (PH=7.2~7.4), the flow rate for sampling was set to 4 mL / min, and the flow-through was collected when the ultraviolet peak graph started to rise. Re-equilibration: the flow rate was set to 8 mL / min, and the chromatography column was flushed again with the equilibrium buffer 0.02 mol / L PBS (PH=7.2~7.4) until the ultraviolet peak graph decreased to the baseline, and the flow-through collection was stopped. Dissociation: the target protein was dissociated using the dissociation buffer 0.2 mol / L Gly+0.15 mol / L NaCl (PH=2.7), the target protein was collected when the ultraviolet peak graph started to rise, the ultraviolet peak graph decreased to the baseline, the collection of the target protein was stopped, and 1 mol / L Tris (PH=8.5) was added to the collection tube to neutralize to pH 7. The collected proteins were combined and subjected to SDS-PAGE detection. Figure 1 )。
[0138] Example 4 Application of the E2 recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibody kit prepared in the application
[0139] In Example 3 of this invention, the Ab1 antibody prepared was used as the magnetic bead coating antibody, and Ab2 was used as the enzyme-labeled antibody in the kit. Together with standards, sample diluent, substrate A, substrate B, stop solution, and 20× concentrated wash buffer, the antigen in the sample was measured. Specific performance evaluation is as follows:
[0140] (1) Correlation analysis
[0141] Ab1 and Ab2 were used in the reagent kit components, and 50 clinical samples within the selected detection range were randomly tested using the sandwich method and competitive method of this invention. The correlation between the E2 sandwich method (Ab2) and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry was y = 0.9433x + 4.5952, R... 2 =0.9926 ( Figure 1 The correlation between the competitive method and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry is y = 1.087x + 33.262, R0. 2 =0.8813 ( Figure 2 Outlier data are shown in Table 3. The correlation data shows that the Ab2 sandwich method has better correlation.

[0143]
[0144] (2) Precision assessment
[0145] The precision evaluation conducted in this study was intra-assay precision. Samples at high, medium, and low concentration levels were tested using the same batch of reagents. Each sample in each batch was measured 10 times, and the mean, SD, and coefficient of variation (CV%) were calculated. The intra-assay CV for all three levels of samples was less than 3%, as shown in the table below, indicating good reproducibility of the kit.
[0146] Table 4 Precision Measurement
[0147]
[0148] (3) Accelerated stability test
[0149] The materials from the competitive method and sandwich method were subjected to accelerated thermal stability tests. The working solutions of magnetic beads and enzyme conjugate antibodies were placed at 37°C for 7 days, and then clinical samples were tested using a microarray. Component analysis was performed simultaneously at 2–8°C. The results are shown in the table below:
[0150] Table 5 Accelerated Stability Tests
[0151]
[0152] The results show that both the competing material and the sandwich material meet the stability requirements, with the sandwich material exhibiting better stability.
[0153] (4) Matrix effect
[0154] Select at least 10 evenly distributed clinical samples on the same day in the linear range, then prepare samples according to the required matrix such as: calibration matrix, mixed serum, quality control matrix, etc., and can contain commercial quality control samples. The concentration range of the prepared samples should be evenly distributed in the linear range of the kit. According to the evaluation results, the calibration matrix, mixed serum, and quality control matrix to be evaluated are within their 95% confidence intervals, and the application of the antibody does not have a matrix effect.
[0155] (5) Cross-substance evaluation
[0156] The cross-substance is configured into an evaluation concentration with hormone-free serum, and the cross rate is detected, and the results are shown in Table 6. The cross rate with the cross-substance is less than 0.5% when the evaluation concentration is less than 0.5%, which meets the requirements of the kit.

[0158]
[0159] From the above results, it can be seen that the Ab1 antibody prepared in the application is used as a magnetic bead coated antibody, and Ab2 is used as an enzyme-labeled antibody in the kit, and other components are used together to determine the antigen in the sample. It has reached a high consistency level with the detection results of the current market mainstream manufacturers, and has the advantages of excellent stability, etc. According to the evaluation of each detection performance, it meets the requirements of the kit, and has an important role in the later application and clinical diagnosis.
[0160] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application, and it should be pointed out that for ordinary skilled persons in the technical field, some improvements and refinements can be made without departing from the principles of the present application, and these improvements and refinements should also be considered as the protection scope of the present application.
