Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of biotechnology, specifically relating to bovine nodular dermatitis virus antibodies or their antigen-binding fragments, their preparation methods, and applications. Background Technology
[0002] Bovine lumpy skin disease (LSD) is a contagious bovine viral disease affecting cattle of all ages and breeds, with young and lactating calves being more susceptible. The causative agent of LSD, bovine lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV), is classified under the genus Capripoxvirus in the family Poxviridae, along with sheep poxvirus and goat poxvirus. This disease can cause severe reductions in milk production, decreased leather and meat quality, infertility, and abortion in dairy cows, resulting in significant economic losses to my country's livestock industry and making it a reportable disease of high economic importance. Currently, there is no effective treatment for this disease; vaccination and serological surveillance remain the most effective measures to control its spread. The vaccines currently available for prophylactic immunization of cattle are mainly live attenuated vaccines (LAVs) produced using the Neethling strain or its derivatives. Although LAVs have shown efficacy, they are affected by safety concerns, and adverse reactions are common after vaccination. Recent studies have explored inactivated LSD vaccines as an alternative treatment for the prevention and management of LSD infection. While these types of vaccines are considered safer than LSD, research reports indicate that inactivated LSD vaccine administration only provides short-term and partial protection. Therefore, safer LSD treatments still need to be developed.
[0003] LSDV ORF 117 and ORF 060 are orthologs of vaccinia virus (VV) proteins A27L and L1R. These proteins have been reported as potential antigens and targets for neutralizing antibodies. They can elicit immune responses in other poxviruses such as sheep pox and VV, and are known to play important roles in virus-cell binding and membrane fusion. Furthermore, A27L is involved in intracellular viral transport and the formation of intracellular enveloped virions (IEVs). Studies have shown that A27L can induce neutralizing antibodies as early as day 14 post-vaccination. Therefore, developing monoclonal antibodies with neutralizing effects can be used for both the treatment of LSD, compensating for the lack of long-term comprehensive protection provided by inactivated vaccines, and for the detection of LSD. This is of great significance for the prevention and control of LSD and the healthy development of my country's cattle industry. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop antibodies against bovine nodular dermatitis virus or their antigen-binding fragments. Summary of the Invention

Its neutralizing activity against BND is significantly higher than that of the maternal monoclonal antibody, and its blocking activity against BND is also higher than that of the maternal monoclonal antibody. Moreover, it exhibits low toxicity and good stability; it also improves the selectivity and neutralizing activity of the maternal monoclonal antibody. This improved biocompatibility enhances the safety and efficacy of monoclonal antibody drugs, enabling the preparation of products for the diagnosis, prevention, and / or treatment of bovine nodular dermatitis virus infection or its associated diseases, the detection of the presence or level of bovine nodular dermatitis virus A27L protein in samples, or the screening of drugs for the prevention and / or treatment of bovine nodular dermatitis virus infection or its associated diseases. It possesses promising market application prospects. Furthermore, the well-developed in vitro recombinant expression technology provides a key production technology for the production of bispecific antibodies, enabling batch control, high yield, and high efficiency, thus solving many challenges related to uncontrollable batches and individual variability in mice. This bispecific antibody retains the complete monoclonal antibody structure and possesses a highly stable symmetrical structure. During host expression, it does not produce protein isoforms with other structures, significantly reducing the difficulty of extraction and purification processes, and offering advantages such as simple preparation and high yield.

[0218] As used herein, the term "monoclonal antibody" refers to antibodies derived from a substantially homogeneous group of antibodies, meaning that, apart from possible trace amounts of variant antibodies (e.g., containing naturally occurring mutations or generated during the production of the monoclonal antibody formulation, typically present in small quantities), the individual antibodies within the group are identical and / or bind to the same epitopes. Unlike polyclonal antibody formulations, which typically comprise different antibodies targeting different antigenic determinants (epitaxes), each monoclonal antibody in a monoclonal antibody formulation targets a single determinant on the antigen.
[0219] As used herein, the term "multispecific antibody" is used in its broadest sense to encompass antibodies exhibiting multi-epitope specificity. These multispecific antibodies include, but are not limited to: antibodies comprising a heavy chain variable region (VH) and a light chain variable region (VL), wherein the VH-VL unit exhibits multi-epitope specificity; antibodies having two or more VL and VH regions, each VH-VL unit binding to a different target or a different epitope of the same target; antibodies having two or more single variable regions, each single variable region binding to a different target or a different epitope of the same target; full-length antibodies, antibody fragments, bispecific antibodies, and trispecific antibodies, antibody fragments covalently or non-covalently linked, etc.
[0220] The terms “full-length antibody” and “intact antibody” as used herein are used interchangeably to refer to antibodies that are structurally similar to natural antibodies. “Natural antibody” refers to a naturally occurring immunoglobulin molecule. For example, natural IgG antibodies are heterotetrameric glycoproteins of approximately 150,000 Daltons, composed of two light chains and two heavy chains linked by disulfide bonds. From the N-terminus to the C-terminus, each heavy chain has a variable region (VH) (also called a variable heavy chain domain or heavy chain variable domain) and three constant domains (CH1, CH2, and CH3) (also called heavy chain constant regions, CH). From the N-terminus to the C-terminus, each light chain has a variable region (VL) (also called a variable light chain domain or light chain variable domain) and a light chain constant domain (CL) (also called light chain constant region). The heavy chain of an antibody can be one of five types: α (IgA), δ (IgD), ε (IgE), γ (IgG), or μ (IgM), and can be further subdivided into subtypes such as γ1 (IgG1), γ2 (IgG2), γ3 (IgG3), γ4 (IgG4), α1 (IgA1), and α2 (IgA2). The light chain of an antibody, based on the amino acid sequence of its constant domain, can be one of two types: the κ (kappa) light chain and the λ (lambda) light chain.
[0221] Within the light and heavy chains, variable and constant regions are linked by a "J" region containing approximately 12 or more amino acid residues, and the heavy chain also contains a "D" region containing approximately 3 or more amino acids. Each heavy chain consists of a heavy chain variable region (VH) and a heavy chain constant region (CH). The heavy chain constant region consists of three domains (CH1, CH2, and CH3). Each light chain consists of a light chain variable region (VL) and a light chain constant region (CL). The light chain constant region consists of one domain, CL. The constant region of an antibody mediates the binding of immunoglobulins to host tissues or factors, including various cells of the immune system (e.g., effector cells) and the first component (C1q) of the classical complement system.
[0222] The term "Fd fragment" as used herein refers to an antibody fragment consisting of VH and CH1 domains. The term "dAb fragment" as used herein refers to an antibody fragment consisting of a VH domain (Ward et al., Nature 341:544 546 (1989)). The term "Fab fragment" as used herein refers to an antibody fragment consisting of VL, VH, CL, and CH1 domains. The term "F(ab')2 fragment" as used herein refers to an antibody fragment containing two Fab fragments linked by disulfide bridges on the hinge region. The term "Fab' fragment" as used herein refers to the fragment obtained by reducing the disulfide bonds connecting the two heavy chain fragments in the F(ab')2 fragment, consisting of a complete light and heavy chain Fd fragment (composed of VH and CH1 domains). The term "Fab'-SH" as used herein refers to a Fab fragment containing free thiol groups.
[0223] As used in this article, the term "Fv fragment" refers to an antibody fragment consisting of the VL and VH domains of a single arm of the antibody. The Fv fragment is generally considered to be the smallest antibody fragment capable of forming a complete antigen-binding site. It is generally believed that six CDRs confer antigen-binding specificity to the antibody. However, even a variable region (such as the Fd fragment, which contains only three antigen-specific CDRs) can recognize and bind to the antigen, although its affinity may be lower than that of a complete binding site.
[0224] As used herein, the term "scFv" refers to a single polypeptide chain containing VL and VH domains linked by a linker. In some cases, a disulfide bond may also exist between the VH and VL domains of the scFv.
[0225] As used herein, the term "variable region" or "variable domain" refers to the domain of the antibody heavy or light chain involved in the binding of the antigen-binding molecule to the antigen. The variable regions (VH and VL) of the heavy and light chains of natural antibodies typically have similar structures, with each domain containing four conserved framework regions (FR1-4) and three hypervariable regions (HVR1-3), arranged in the following order from the amino terminus to the carboxyl terminus: FR1, CDR1, FR2, CDR2, FR3, CDR3, FR4. A single VH or VL domain is sufficient to confer antigen-binding specificity. The three HVRs within the VH and VL together constitute the antigen-binding site of Ig, which can bind complementary to the corresponding antigenic epitope; therefore, the HVRs are also called complementarity-determining regions (CDRs), denoted as CDR1, CDR2, and CDR3, respectively. The VH or VL chain of the antibody may further contain all or part of the constant regions of the heavy or light chain.
[0226] The CDR of the antibody or antigen-binding fragment of the present invention can be determined according to various numbering systems known in the art. In some embodiments, the CDR contained in the antibody or antigen-binding fragment of the present invention is preferably determined by the IMGT, Kabat, Contact, Chothia, or AbM numbering system.
[0227] As used in this article, the term "variable" refers to the fact that certain segments of the variable region are generally different in sequence between antibodies. The V domain mediates antigen binding and defines the specificity of a particular antibody for its specific antigen. However, variability is not uniformly distributed throughout the variable region, but is concentrated in three segments called hypervariable regions (HVRs) within the variable regions of the light and heavy chains. The relatively highly conserved portions of the variable region are called framework regions (FRs). The variable regions of the native heavy and light chains each contain four FRs, mostly in a β-sheet configuration, linked by three HVRs that form loops and, in some cases, form part of a β-sheet structure. The HVRs in each chain are tightly held together by the FRs and, together with the HVRs of other chains, contribute to the formation of the antibody's antigen-binding site. Constant regions do not directly participate in antibody-antigen binding but have other effector functions, such as participating in antibody-dependent cytotoxicity.
[0228] Antibody "classes" refer to the types of constant structural domains or constant regions possessed by the antibody's heavy chain. Based on differences in heavy chain structure and antigenicity, they can be classified into five classes: μ chain, γ chain, α chain, δ chain, and ε chain. Immunoglobulins composed of different heavy and light chains are respectively called IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG, and IgM. Even within the same class of Ig, the amino acid composition of the hinge region and the number and position of disulfide bonds in the heavy chain differ, thus further subdividing the same class of Ig into different subclasses. For example, human IgG can be divided into IgG1–IgG4; IgA can be divided into IgA1 and IgA2. Based on differences in light chain structure and antigenicity, immunoglobulin (Ig) light chains are divided into κ (kappa) chains and λ (lambda) chains, thus classifying Ig into two types: κ type and λ type.
[0229] The "sequence identity percentage" or "identity percentage" between two polynucleotide or polypeptide sequences refers to the number of identical matching positions shared by sequences within a comparison window, taking into account additions or deletions (i.e., vacancies) that must be introduced for optimal alignment of the two sequences. A matching position is any location where the same nucleotide or amino acid is present in both the target and reference sequences. Vacancies are not nucleotides or amino acids and are not counted in the target sequence. Similarly, vacancies in the reference sequence are not counted because nucleotides or amino acids from the target sequence are counted, but those from the reference sequence are not.
[0230] The percentage of sequence identity can be calculated as follows: determine the number of positions in both sequences where the same amino acid residue or nucleic acid base appears (the number of matching positions), divide the number of matching positions by the total number of positions in the comparison window, and multiply the result by 100 to obtain the percentage of sequence identity. Sequence comparison and determination of the percentage of sequence identity between two sequences can be accomplished using software that is readily available online and downloadable. Suitable software programs are available from various sources for protein and nucleotide sequence alignment. A suitable program for determining the percentage of sequence identity is bl2seq, which is part of the BLAST program suite available from the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) website (blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov). Bl2seq uses either the BLASTN or BLASTP algorithm for comparing two sequences. BLASTN is used to compare nucleic acid sequences, while BLASTP is used to compare amino acid sequences. Other suitable programs are, for example, Needle, Stretcher, Water, or Matcher, which are part of the EMBOSS suite of bioinformatics programs and are also available from the European Institute of Bioinformatics (EBI) at www.ebi.ac.uk / Tools / psa.
[0231] As used herein, the term "conservative substitution" refers to an amino acid substitution that does not adversely affect or alter the intended properties of a protein / peptide containing an amino acid sequence. For example, conservative substitutions can be introduced using standard techniques known in the art, such as site-directed mutagenesis and PCR-mediated mutagenesis. Conservative amino acid substitutions include substitutions of amino acid residues with amino acid residues having similar side chains, such as substitutions with residues that are physically or functionally similar to the corresponding amino acid residues (e.g., having similar size, shape, charge, chemical properties, including the ability to form covalent or hydrogen bonds). Families of amino acid residues with similar side chains have been defined in the art. These families include amino acids with basic side chains (e.g., lysine, arginine, and histidine), acidic side chains (e.g., aspartic acid and glutamic acid), uncharged polar side chains (e.g., glycine, asparagine, glutamine, serine, threonine, tyrosine, cysteine, and tryptophan), nonpolar side chains (e.g., alanine, valine, leucine, isoleucine, proline, phenylalanine, and methionine), β-branched side chains (e.g., threonine, valine, and isoleucine), and aromatic side chains (e.g., tyrosine, phenylalanine, tryptophan, and histidine). Therefore, it is preferable to replace the corresponding amino acid residue with another amino acid residue from the same side chain family. Methods for identifying conserved amino acid substitutions are well known in the art (see, for example, Brummell et al., Biochem. 32:1180-1187 (1993); Kobayashi et al., Protein Eng. 12(10):879-884 (1999); and Burks et al., Proc. Natl Acad. Set USA 94:412-417 (1997), which are incorporated herein by reference).

[0241] Example 1. Screening of monoclonal antibodies against bovine nodular dermatitis virus
[0242] 1. Expression, purification, and identification of recombinant A27L protein
[0243] The full-length gene sequence (447 bp) of A27L (nucleotides 110, 419-110, 865 of the full sequence of bovine nodular dermatitis virus (GenBank accession number: OP508345.1) published in GenBank was selected. After codon optimization, it was inserted between EcoR I and Xho I of the pCAGGS vector (10 His were introduced at the N-terminus of A27L) to obtain the recombinant plasmid pCAGGS-A27L. The plasmid was transformed into E. coli DH5α competent cells, plated and cultured overnight. The next day, positive clones were picked and sequenced. The correctly sequenced positive bacterial cultures were extracted to obtain the correctly sequenced recombinant plasmid pCAGGS-A27L for later use.
[0244] 293F cells in normal suspension culture were selected, and a mixture containing 2 mg pCAGGS-A27L plasmid and 12 mg PEI was prepared in 1 L of cell culture medium. The cell density was 2 × 10⁶ cells / year. 6 The mixture was transfected into cells at a concentration of 1000×g for 20 min at 48 hours post-transfection. The supernatant of transfected cells was collected, and impurities were removed using a 0.22 μm filter. The supernatant was added to pretreated Ni-NTA beads and purified according to the nickel column purification procedure. The effluent and protein eluent of the target protein were collected and concentrated using a 10 kDa ultrafiltration tube. 10 μL of the sample was prepared for SDS-PAGE analysis, and the protein concentration was determined using the BCA method. The sample was aliquoted and stored at -20℃ for later use.
[0245] SDS-PAGE test results are as follows: Figure 1 As shown, there is a clear target band around 17KD, which matches the expected size, meaning that the A27L recombinant protein with the expected target size was obtained.
[0246] 2. Mouse immunization and preparation of monoclonal antibodies
[0247] Ten 8-week-old BALB / c mice were immunized with the A27L recombinant protein obtained in step 1. After three booster immunizations, blood titers were measured. Once the serum titer stopped rising, the mice were immunized with twice the dose of A27L recombinant protein without adjuvant. The mice were then euthanized by cervical dislocation three days later. Spleen cells were prepared from the spleen under sterile conditions and mixed with rapidly growing mouse myeloma cells at a ratio of 8:1 in a 50 mL centrifuge tube. 30 mL of serum-free IPMI 1640 medium was added, and the mixture was centrifuged at 1100 rpm for 5 min. The supernatant was discarded, the cell clumps were gently loosened, and the cells were placed in a 37°C water bath. Slowly add 1 mL of 50% PEG-4000 to the cells over 1 minute, while gently stirring the precipitate at the bottom. After standing for 1 minute, slowly and evenly add 1 mL of serum-free culture medium along the tube wall for the first 30 seconds, then add 2 mL for the next 30 seconds, and finally quickly add 27 mL to terminate the fusion process. Centrifuge at 1100 rpm for 5 minutes, discard the supernatant, resuspend the cells in HAT selective medium, and then add the solution to a 96-well cell culture plate containing feeder cells. Incubate at 37°C with 5% CO2.
[0248] Seven days later, the medium was changed to HT. When the number of hybridoma cells in the wells reached more than 300, indirect ELISA was used for screening. Wells with strong positive results, good inhibition effect, and vigorous cell growth were selected for limiting dilution cloning. After more than three cloning cultures and tests, the cells in the wells that were positive were identified as hybridoma cells secreting monoclonal antibodies. The hybridoma cells were expanded for monoclonal antibody preparation. A total of 6 positive hybridoma cell lines were obtained, and antibody subtypes were identified (see Table 1). The purified monoclonal antibody was obtained using the in vivo ascites induction method and the octanoic acid-ammonium sulfate precipitation method. The concentration of the purified monoclonal antibody was determined by the BCA method.

[0251] 3. Screening of neutralizing antibodies
[0252] A neutralization assay was performed on the six purified antibodies to detect their neutralizing activity using an IC50 assay. 50 As an evaluation indicator, IC 50 The value is expressed in µg / mL, representing the minimum antibody concentration required to inhibit 50% cell infection. A lower value indicates a better effect. IC50 (Inhibitory Concentration) 50 Antibodies with a concentration >50 μg / mL are considered to lack neutralizing activity. The specific experimental method is as follows:
[0253] (1) LT cells (cells disclosed in patent document CN117165530A with accession number CGMCC NO.45500) were pre-coated in 96-well plates and the experiment was conducted when the cell confluence was about 80%.
[0254] (2) The virus (the virus is LSDV used in the IFA experiment in the literature: Yu Haoyang, Li Haoxuan, Sun Yu, Geng Yujing, Yang Zhen, Wang Caixia, Zhao Xuejin, Zhang Zhou, Qiu Songyin, Wang Huiyu, Lin Xiangmei, Wu Shaoqiang, Feng Chunyan.

Chinese Journal of Animal Infectious Diseases. https: / / doi.org / 10.19958 / j.cnki.cn31-2031 / s.20250902.001) was diluted with DMEM to four concentrations: 200 TCID50 / 50 μL, 20 TCID50 / 50 μL, 2 TCID50 / 50 μL and 0.2 TCID50 / 50 μL.
[0255] (3) The antibody was serially diluted 2-fold in a 96-well plate (1:4-1:512). After dilution, 50 μL of the diluted antibody was mixed with an equal volume of 200 TCID50 / 50 μL of virus. Virus control groups were set up with 200 TCID50 / 50 μL, 20 TCID50 / 50 μL, 2 TCID50 / 50 μL, and 0.2 TCID50 / 50 μL. 50 μL of virus was mixed with 50 μL of DMEM. After mixing, the plate was incubated in a 37℃ 5% CO2 incubator for 1 h.
[0256] (4) After washing the 96-well cell culture plate three times with PBS, add 100 μL of virus-antibody mixture or virus-DMEM mixture.
[0257] (5) Place in an incubator at 37℃ and 5% CO2 and incubate for 48 h to observe cell lesions.
[0258] The neutralization assay results (Table 2) showed that antibodies 11C4, 17E2, and 28B5 had neutralizing activity, with 11C4 and 28B5 exhibiting higher neutralizing titers and 17E2 showing lower neutralizing titers. Antibodies 16H5, 23C3, and 25D7 showed no neutralizing activity; therefore, monoclonal antibodies 11C4 and 28B5 were selected for further research.

[0261] 4. Determination of antibody recognition epitopes
[0262] The secondary structure of the A27L protein was preliminarily analyzed and predicted using online sequence analysis software: https: / / services.healthtech.dtu.dk / services / NetSurfP-2.0 / and http: / / bioinf.cs.ucl.ac.uk / psipred / . Based on the predictions from NetSurfP-2.0, the hydrophilic exposed region of the A27L protein was obtained. Based on the predictions from PSIPRED, the predicted secondary structure of the A27L protein was obtained. Combined with the antigen recognition epitope prediction results from http: / / sysbio.unl.edu / SVMTriP / , after preliminary screening, four peptides were synthesized. The positional distribution of the four peptides in the A27L protein is shown in [Figure missing]. Figure 2 The peptide sequences are shown in Table 3. The peptide synthesis was commissioned to Nanjing Peptide Valley Biotechnology Co., Ltd. The synthesized peptide powder was dissolved in 1 ml of DMSO, vortexed to a final concentration of 1 mg / ml, aliquoted into 100 μL portions, and stored at -80℃ for later use. The peptide was coated onto ELISA plates with carbonate coating buffer at a concentration of 1 μg / mL. Indirect ELISA was performed using monoclonal antibody cell supernatant as the primary antibody and HRP-labeled goat anti-mouse antibody as the secondary antibody. Mouse negative serum was used as a control. OD values were read after the assay. 450nm Value, calculate P / N value, detection results as follows Figure 3 As shown: 11C4 monoclonal antibody showed a strong reaction with peptide 1, but no reaction with peptides 2, 3, and 4, indicating that the antigen recognition site of monoclonal antibody 11C4 is the amino acid sequence of peptide 1: "IFPGDDDETNERNINHREKT"; 28B5 monoclonal antibody showed a strong reaction with peptide 3, but no reaction with peptides 1, 2, and 4, indicating that the antigen recognition site of monoclonal antibody 28B5 is the amino acid sequence of peptide 3: "KKIINERYSNYISIDDDEISDILKDSFISNEEMQI".

[0266] 1. Sequencing of monoclonal antibodies
[0267] Once the hybridoma cells have grown into a monolayer, discard the culture medium, pipette and count the cells using 3 mL of sterile PBS, and collect 1×10⁶ cells. 6Each cell was transferred to a 1.5 mL centrifuge tube and centrifuged at 800 r / min for 5 min. After discarding the supernatant, RNA was extracted from the hybridoma cells using the Trizol method. The VH and VL regions of the hybridoma cells were amplified using the Frdbio® mouse hybridoma cell monoclonal antibody variable region fragment amplification (sequencing) kit. The obtained target bands were recovered from the gel and cloned into the T vector. Positive clones were selected for sequencing, and the sequences of VH and VL were obtained. The amino acid / nucleotide sequences of the variable regions of 11C4 and 28B5 and CDR are shown in Table 4.

[0273] 2. Construction of monoclonal antibodies and bispecific antibody expression vectors
[0274] 2.1 Construction of recombinant plasmids for monoclonal antibodies
[0275] The heavy chain (SEQ ID NO: 55) and light chain (SEQ ID NO: 56) of monoclonal antibody 11C4, and the heavy chain (SEQ ID NO: 57) and light chain (SEQ ID NO: 58) of monoclonal antibody 28B5 were synthesized and inserted into the pcDNA3.4 eukaryotic expression vector, respectively, to obtain recombinant expression plasmids of the heavy chain of monoclonal antibody 11C4, the light chain of monoclonal antibody 11C4, the heavy chain of monoclonal antibody 28B5, and the light chain of monoclonal antibody 28B5 (see the construction diagram of the recombinant expression plasmids). Figures 4A-4D The recombinant expression plasmids were transformed into DH10Bac competent cells and plated. Single colonies were picked and sequenced to identify positive colonies. The plasmids were then extracted for later use.
[0276] 2.2 Construction of recombinant plasmids for bispecific antibodies
[0277] The heavy chain of the bispecific antibody (SEQ ID NO: 59) was synthesized and inserted into the pcDNA3.4 eukaryotic expression vector to obtain a recombinant expression plasmid expressing the heavy chain of the bispecific antibody. After transforming DH10Bac competent cells, the plasmid was plated, and single colonies were picked, identified by sequencing, and the plasmid was extracted for later use. The light chain of the bispecific antibody was constructed using a recombinant expression plasmid with the same sequence as SEQ ID NO: 56 (i.e., the recombinant expression plasmid of the light chain of the aforementioned monoclonal antibody 11C4). The construction diagram of the 11C-28B5 bispecific antibody recombinant expression plasmid is shown below. Figure 4B , 4E The structural diagram of the bispecific antibody (11C4-28B5) is shown below. Figure 5 As shown, a scFv antibody of 28B5 is linked to the C-terminus of the 11C4 monoclonal antibody via a hinge structure, forming a bivalent bispecific antibody. This antibody can bind to both antigenic sites of the LSDV A27L protein.
[0278] 3. Expression and purification of monoclonal antibodies (11C4, 28B5) and bispecific antibodies (11C4-28B5).
[0279] 90 mL of 293F cells were adjusted to a density of 1.1 × 10⁻⁶. 6 100 μg of plasmid (50 μg heavy chain and 50 μg light chain plasmid, i.e., transient transfection with heavy chain and light chain plasmids at a 1:1 ratio) and 300 μL of PEI were added to 5 mL of Freestyle 293 Expression medium. After mixing thoroughly, the mixture was incubated at room temperature for 5 min. The solution containing plasmid and PEI was then mixed and incubated at room temperature for 20 min. After incubation, the mixture was added to 293F cells, and the cell supernatant was collected after 5 days. The cell supernatant was filtered and purified using a protein A gel, eluted with 0.1 mol / L Glycine-HCl (pH 3.0), neutralized with 1 mol / L Tris-HCl (pH 9.0), concentrated using a 30,000 μL ultrafiltration tube, and then replaced with phosphate buffer. The purified protein underwent reductive denaturation, and its size and purity were determined by SDS-PAGE. The light chain was approximately 26,000, the heavy chain of the monoclonal antibody was approximately 50,000, and the heavy chain of the bispecific antibody was approximately 78,000, all consistent with the expected relative molecular mass. Figure 6 (A). Size exclusion chromatography was used to analyze the aggregation state and purity of monoclonal and bispecific antibodies. Neither the monoclonal nor the bispecific antibodies showed any heavy-chain or light-chain byproducts, and no severe aggregation was observed. Figure 6 (B)
[0280] 4. Verification of the antigen-binding properties of monoclonal antibodies and bispecific antibodies.
[0281] The A27L recombinant plasmid from Example 1 was transiently transfected into HEK293T cells using a Lipo3000 to construct HEK293T-A27L cells. Wild-type HEK293T cells and HEK293T-A27L cells were digested and then incubated with different concentrations of the bispecific antibody 11C4-28B5 and monoclonal antibodies 11C4 and 28B5 (prepared in step 3), respectively. After washing twice with PBS, the cells were stained with APC-anti-human hIgG1Fc antibody (Biolegend, catalog number 410711), washed twice with PBS, and then the cell fluorescence intensity was detected by flow cytometry.
[0282] The results are as follows Figure 7 As shown, the bispecific antibody 11C4-28B5 and the monoclonal antibodies 11C4 and 28B5 can bind to HEK293T-A27L cells, but their binding to wild-type HEK293T cells is very weak. Furthermore, the bispecific antibody has a stronger binding ability to HEK293T-A27L cells than the monoclonal antibodies 11C4 and 28B5.
[0283] 5. Specificity identification of monoclonal antibodies and bispecific antibodies
[0284] The specificity of the bispecific antibody 11C4-28B5 was identified using an ELISA method, specifically as follows: The target antigen A27L-His (nucleotides 110,419-110,865 of the full-length sequence of accession number OP508345.1) and irrelevant antigens p32-His (nucleotides 65011-65979 of the full-length sequence of accession number OP508345.1), and L1R-His (accession number...) were analyzed. Nucleotides 53187-53924 of the full sequence of OP508345.1 and 122-His (nucleotides 113468-114058 of the full sequence of OP508345.1) were coated onto 96-well ELISA plates (NC indicates coated BSA), 200 ng / 50 μL per well, and incubated overnight at 4°C; the solution was discarded, the plates were washed twice with PBS, and blocked with PBS containing 5% skim milk powder at 200 μL / well. h; Discard the solution, add 4 nmol / L of the antibody to be tested (diluted with PBS containing 5% skim milk powder and 0.1% Tween-20, the same below) at 50 μL / well, and react at 37℃ for 1 h; Discard the solution, wash 3 times with PBS containing 0.1% Tween-20, add HRP-labeled goat anti-human IgG (1:2000 dilution) at 50 μL / well, and react at 37℃ for 45 min; Discard the solution; wash 3 times with PBS containing 0.1% Tween-20; add freshly prepared TMB chromogenic solution at 50 μL / well, and react at room temperature for 3-10 min; stop the chromogenic reaction by adding 2 mol / L concentrated sulfuric acid at 50 μL / well, and measure the absorbance value at 450 nm as the detection wavelength; perform differential analysis of the results using one-way ANOVA.
