Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of immunoassay technology, specifically to a folic acid sandwich antibody mAb16 or its antigen-binding fragment, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Folic acid is a water-soluble B vitamin, chemically known as vitamin B9, named after its initial extraction from spinach leaves. Folic acid is a collective term for a class of compounds with similar chemical structures, composed of pteridine, p-para-aminobenzoic acid, and one or more L-glutamic acids conjugated together. Its biologically active form is tetrahydrofolic acid (THF). The molecular formula of folic acid is C1. 19 H 19 Folic acid (N7O6) is increasingly recognized for its importance in the diet, especially its role in preventing birth defects, cardiovascular diseases, tumors, and neurodegenerative diseases, making it a crucial micronutrient. Folic acid plays a vital role in cell proliferation, promoting human growth and development, and maintaining human health, ensuring the synthesis of proteins and DNA. Folic acid deficiency leads to megaloblastic anemia (fatigue, pallor, difficulty breathing), weakened immunity, and neural tube defects in the fetus; folic acid excess also carries risks. Therefore, folic acid testing has significant clinical diagnostic value.

[0003] Currently, mass spectrometry is considered the "gold standard" for folic acid testing. However, mass spectrometry requires complex and time-consuming sample pretreatment procedures, and clinical applications demand high levels of automation, making large-scale application difficult. Therefore, immunoassay is commonly used in clinical practice. Immunoassay is simple to operate and rapid, making it a feasible alternative to small molecule mass spectrometry. Because small molecules lack antigenic epitopes, competitive immunoassays are commonly used in clinical practice. Competitive immunoassays suffer from low sensitivity, poor specificity, a high risk of false positives, and complex processes.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop highly specific and sensitive monoclonal antibodies for the folic acid sandwich method to achieve folic acid detection using the double antibody sandwich method. Summary of the Invention

[0026] The present invention will be further illustrated below with reference to specific embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Experimental methods in the following embodiments that do not specify specific conditions are generally performed under conventional conditions, conditions described in a laboratory manual, or conditions recommended by the manufacturer.

[0027] Example 1: Preparation of rabbit monoclonal antibody using the folic acid sandwich method

[0028] 1) Preparation of immunogens

[0029] The folic acid complex was prepared with an immunogen purity of over 90%, meeting the purity requirements for preparing monoclonal antibodies.

[0030] 2) Animal immunization

[0031] The folic acid complex prepared above was emulsified with complete Freund's adjuvant at a 1:1 volume ratio and administered subcutaneously to approximately 2 kg New Zealand white rabbits at a dose of 800 μg / rabbit. A second immunization was performed two weeks later, emulsified with incomplete Freund's adjuvant at a 1:1 volume ratio, at a dose of 400 μg / rabbit. Tail blood was collected after both immunizations and serum titers were determined using a serially diluted ELISA method. The OD450 at an ELISA titer of 128,000 was considered to be greater than 1.0. Based on the results, it was determined whether to collect PBMCs or continue immunization. Rabbits with the highest antibody titers were selected for PBMC collection.

[0032] 3) PBMC isolation, specific B cell sorting, and clonal recombination

[0033] The rabbit was placed supine on the operating table. The fur around the heart was trimmed, and the skin was disinfected with alcohol. The area with the most prominent heartbeat was selected and punctured with a 50ml syringe. Blood flowed into the syringe immediately after the needle entered the heart. The needle was quickly withdrawn after obtaining the required amount of blood. The whole blood in the syringe was transferred into a sterile 50ml tube and mixed with an equal volume of PBS. The mixture was then slowly added dropwise to the lymphocyte separation medium. The mixture was centrifuged at 400×g for 30 minutes at room temperature. After centrifugation, the liquid surface separated into four layers from top to bottom: a yellow plasma layer, a white thin film layer (i.e., a mononuclear cell layer), a separation medium layer, and a red blood cell layer. The mononuclear cell layer was carefully aspirated and washed with PBS to remove platelets and lymphocyte separation medium, thus obtaining rabbit PBMCs.

[0034] Antigen-specific B cells were further sorted from rabbit PBMCs and cultured. Positive clones were selected from the B cell supernatant using antigen-coated ELISA plates. Cells from positive clones were collected, lysed, and RNA was extracted and reverse transcribed into cDNA. The full-length light and heavy chain sequences of naturally paired rabbit monoclonal antibodies were amplified from the cDNA of the corresponding positive clones. Rabbit monoclonal antibody expression vectors were constructed using clonal recombination methods, and the sequences were confirmed by sequencing. The results of the amplified full-length PCR products are shown below. Figure 1 .

[0035] 4) Preparation and purification of monoclonal antibodies

[0036] To obtain multiple rabbit monoclonal antibodies that recognize folic acid molecules, the heavy and light chain genes of rabbit monoclonal antibodies were loaded into an expression vector. The plasmid was transfected into KEK293 cells, and after 120-144 hours, the culture supernatant contained recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibodies recognizing folic acid molecules. The cell suspension was collected, the supernatant was obtained by centrifugation, and the antibody was purified by affinity chromatography. The concentration of the purified monoclonal antibody was determined by the BCA method, and then aliquoted, lyophilized, and named rabbit monoclonal antibody mAb16.

[0037] Example 2: Identification of rabbit monoclonal antibodies using the folic acid sandwich method

[0038] 1) Specificity identification of rabbit monoclonal antibodies

[0039] Indirect ELSA was used for detection. The ELISA plate was coated with cross-linked protein and folic acid complex antigen at a concentration of 1 μg / ml and incubated overnight at 4°C. The plate was then blocked with PBST containing 1% BSA. 4 The purified rabbit monoclonal antibody was diluted 10 times and reacted at 37°C for 50 min. The plate was washed 3 times with PBST, HRP-goat anti-rabbit IgG secondary antibody was added, and the plate was reacted at 37°C for 50 min. The plate was washed 5 times with PBST, TMB was added for color development for 10 min, stop solution was added, and the A450 was measured by microplate reader.

[0040] Figure 2 The results showed that the cross protein reacted negatively with the rabbit monoclonal antibody mAb16, with OD450 values ​​less than 0.1; the folic acid complex reacted positively with the mAb16 antibody, with OD values ​​much higher than those of the cross protein, indicating that the folic acid sandwich method rabbit monoclonal antibody of this application specifically recognizes the folic acid complex.

[0041] 2) Determination of affinity constant of rabbit monoclonal antibody

[0042] Affinity constant (Ka) was determined using a non-competitive ELISA method.

[0043] Coating: Dilute the antigen with carbonate buffer to concentrations of 1, 0.5, 0.1, and 0.05 μg / mL, add 100 μL / well to a 96-well microplate and coat accordingly. Incubate at 4°C for 24 h.

[0044] Blocking: Wash the plate 4 times with PBST, add BSA solution at 200 μL / well, and incubate at 37°C for 2 h;

[0045] Add monoclonal antibody: Wash the plate 4 times with PBST, serially dilute the rabbit monoclonal antibody with carbonate buffer starting at 100 μg / mL, add 100 μL to each well, and incubate at 37°C for 2 h;

[0046] Add enzyme-labeled secondary antibody: Wash the plate 4 times with PBST, add 100 μL of HRP enzyme-labeled goat anti-rabbit Ig secondary antibody diluted 1:10000 times to each well, and incubate at 37℃ for 30 min;

[0047] Color development and termination: Wash the plate 4 times with PBST, add 100 μL of substrate color development solution to each well, and react at 37℃ in the dark for 15 min; add 50 μL of 1.0 mol / L H2SO4 stop solution to each well to terminate the reaction;

[0048] Detection: The absorbance value at a wavelength of 450 nm (A450nm) was measured.

[0049] An S-shaped curve was plotted with the logarithm of antibody concentration on the x-axis and OD value on the y-axis. The calculated affinity constant Ka for the folic acid sandwich monoclonal antibody mAb16 was 8.5 × 10⁻⁶. 8 L / mol.

[0050] 3) Sandwich antibody pairing

[0051] To select the optimal combination of coating and detection antibodies, folic acid-binding protein was coated onto an ELISA plate and incubated overnight at 4°C. The next day, the plate was removed, washed once with PBST, blocked with 1% BSA solution at 37°C for 2 hours, and washed three times with PBST. 100 μl of folic acid (20 ng / ml) was added to each well, and the plate was incubated at 37°C for 1 hour. After incubation, the plate was removed, washed three times with PBST, and HRP-labeled rabbit monoclonal antibody mAb16 was added as the detection antibody, incubated at 37°C for 1 hour. The plate was washed five times with PBST, TMB substrate was added, and the plate was incubated at 37°C for 10 minutes. After incubation, stop solution was added, and the OD450 reading was measured using an ELISA reader. Based on the OD values ​​of the samples and the background value of the negative control, the most ideal antibody pair was selected. The pairing screening results are shown in Table 1.

[0053]

[0054] Therefore, the antibody mAb16 involved in this application is optimal for sandwich assay.

[0055] Example 3: Analysis of the variable region gene and amino acid sequence of the monoclonal antibody. Using the recombinant plasmid of the antibody as a DNA template, sequencing primers for the light chain variable region and heavy chain variable region were designed based on the vector sequences at the 5' ends of the light and heavy chains on the template. Sequencing was performed using an ABI 3730 sequencer. The nucleotide sequences of the light and heavy chain variable regions of the rabbit monoclonal antibody were obtained through sequencing.

[0056] Using the internet and the IMGT / V-QUEST analysis software at http: / / www.imgt.org, the nucleotide sequences of the light chain variable region and the heavy chain variable region were sequenced and analyzed. The amino acid sequence of the light chain variable region of rabbit monoclonal antibody mAb16 is shown in SEQ ID NO.7, and the amino acid sequence of the heavy chain variable region is shown in SEQ ID NO.8.

The number of amino acids in the three domains of 7LCDR are 6, 3 and 12, respectively. The regions of LCDR1, LCDR2 and LCDR3 are 27aa-32aa, 50aa-52aa and 89aa-100aa, respectively. Their amino acid sequences are: ENINNY (SEQ ID NO.1), RGS (SEQ ID NO.2) and QQGVSGSDVDNA (SEQ ID NO.3).

[0058] The VH is 123 amino acids in length. The number of amino acids in the four domains of its FR are 25, 17, 40 and 11, respectively. The number of amino acids in the three domains of HCDR are 8, 7 and 15, respectively. HCDR1, HCDR2 and HCDR3 are 26aa-33aa, 51aa-57aa and 98aa-112aa, respectively. Their amino acid sequences are GFSLSSYD (SEQ ID NO.4), IWSNDNT (SEQ ID NO.5) and ARDQGYGDRSYSFNL (SEQ ID NO.6), respectively.

[0059] Example 4: Folic acid sandwich method rabbit monoclonal antibody used for magnetic microparticle chemiluminescent immunoassay.

[0060] 1. Detection Principle and Method

[0061] A magnetic microparticle chemiluminescence immunoassay technique based on the double-antibody sandwich method was employed. Biotin-labeled folic acid-binding protein was immobilized with SA magnetic beads, and ALP was conjugated to a rabbit monoclonal antibody using the folic acid sandwich method. Simultaneously, folic acid, ALP substrate, and corresponding buffer components were placed on a Cosma fully automated magnetic microparticle chemiluminescence analyzer, and the instrument program was set for detection. A positive result was interpreted as a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) greater than 2.0. The magnitude of the luminescence value reflects the amount of bound enzyme-labeled antibody and is directly proportional to the folic acid concentration in the sample. A standard curve was plotted based on the measured luminescence values ​​of the standards, as shown below. Figure 3 The folic acid concentration in the sample to be tested can be obtained from the standard curve.

[0062] 2. Composition of the magnetic particle chemiluminescence detection kit for folic acid detection

[0063] 1) SA magnetic beads bound to biotin-folic acid binding protein: Take 50 μl of magnetic beads into a 0.5 ml centrifuge tube, place it on a magnetic rack, and remove the supernatant after 1 min; wash the magnetic beads 3 times with 0.5 ml of antibody dilution buffer; add a certain amount of biotin-labeled folic acid binding protein and mix at room temperature for 60 min; after magnetic separation, resuspend in magnetic preservation buffer at a working concentration of 0.5 mg / ml.

[0064] 2) mAb16 conjugation with ALP: First, the 2-IT antibody mAb16 is reduced; then, the ALP-SMCC intermediate is formed; finally, ALP-SMCC is conjugated with the reducing antibody. After conjugation, the ALP is diluted to the working concentration using ALP preservation buffer.

[0065] 3) Washing buffer: is standard pH 7.4 PBST containing 0.05% Proclin 300, prepared as a 20-fold concentrate.

[0066] 4) Chemiluminescent colorimetric solution: purchased from Aivid Biotechnology.

[0067] 5) Sample diluent: PBST containing 1% BSA and 0.05% Proclin 300, filtered for sterilization.

[0068] 6) Standard: Folic acid (small molecule), diluted to 5 μg / ml with PBS containing 1% BSA, 5% sucrose, 10% glycerol and 0.05% Proclin 300 as diluent, filtered for sterilization and aseptically dispensed.

[0069] 3. Testing of folic acid in clinical samples

[0070] Clinical samples with different folic acid concentrations were processed. Using folic acid-binding protein as the coating antibody and mAb16 antibody as the detection antibody, the above-described detection method was used to detect clinical samples of different concentrations. The results are shown below. Figure 4 .

[0071] Based on the results, the rabbit monoclonal antibody described in this application, used in a magnetic microparticle chemiluminescent immunoassay reagent, showed good correlation with clinical results within a sample range of 1-80 pmol / L.

[0072] In summary, when the folic acid sandwich rabbit monoclonal antibody mAb16 of this application is applied to immunoassay kits prepared by double-antibody sandwich ELISA or chemiluminescence methods, the detection sensitivity of folic acid standard antigen on the double-antibody sandwich chemiluminescence platform is less than 0.2 ng / ml. When detecting clinical samples by magnetochemiluminescence, the clinical composite rate is >0.95 in the sample range of 0-20 ng / ml, which is significantly higher than that of traditional competitive detection methods. Moreover, the process is simple and breaks through the limitations of traditional competitive methods.
