Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of nanobody technology, and in particular to nanobodies against rabies virus G protein and their applications. Background Technology

[0002] Rabies is an acute infectious disease caused by the rabies virus (RABV). Currently, the main methods of rabies prevention are post-exposure prevention (PEP) and pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). Since the late 19th century, PrEP has primarily relied on rabies vaccination, which provides complete protection in the short term (6 months to 1 year after vaccination) but does not induce lifelong immunity. In humans, vaccine-induced neutralizing antibody levels typically decline 1 to 5 years after vaccination; therefore, regular revaccination is necessary to maintain neutralizing antibody titers. The main methods of PEP include thorough wound cleaning and administration of rabies immunoglobulin (RIG).

[0003] Rabies virus (RABV) belongs to the family Rabieviridae and the genus Rabievirus. It is a segmentless, negative-sense RNA virus. The entire RABV genome primarily encodes five structural proteins: nucleoprotein (N), phosphoprotein (P), matrix protein (M), glycoprotein (G), and RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (L). The rabies virus glycoprotein (RABV-G) is the only protein on the virus exposed on its surface and has multiple antigenic epitopes. RABV is a neurotropic virus, and large molecular drugs such as neutralizing antibodies cannot cross the blood-brain barrier to enter the central nervous system. RABV is easily transmitted through the bite of infected animals (most commonly dogs) and can infect and replicate in the central nervous system, subsequently leading to severe neurological disorders. The clinical features of RABV infection typically include multiple neuronal dysfunctions, which almost inevitably lead to death. Therefore, research on antibody therapy for brain invasion after RABV infection is essential.

[0004] Researchers have been searching for ways to overcome this limitation. However, to date, no strategy has shown satisfactory efficacy. On the one hand, direct drug delivery to the brain carries significant risks and is highly localized; on the other hand, modifying molecules to increase their diffusion across the barrier is only applicable to a limited number of small-molecule drugs, and the structure of the drug itself can easily be altered. Studies have shown that nanomaterials can encapsulate monoclonal antibodies and enable them to cross the blood-brain barrier, providing a new means for efficient antibody delivery. However, due to the stability of nanoparticles, the release of monoclonal antibodies and the metabolic pathways of nanoparticles in the brain microenvironment require further investigation.

[0005] Therefore, developing nanobodies targeting RABV-G could provide innovative drug options for the treatment of rabies virus and has significant clinical implications. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide nanobodies against the G protein of rabies virus and their applications, thereby addressing the problems existing in the prior art. This invention utilizes phage display technology to screen for nanobodies with high affinity and high neutralization activity.

[0040] Example

[0041] 1. Alpaca immunization injection

[0042] Two mg of RABV-G protein was divided into four equal parts (0.5 mg each), and alpacas were subcutaneously immunized four times on days 1, 11, 21, and 31. Approximately 200 mL of peripheral venous blood was collected from alpacas before the fourth immunization (day 30) and on day 14 after immunization (day 45).

[0043] Compared to traditional immunization protocols involving mice and rabbits, the method of this invention provides a richer source for subsequent screening of highly diverse nanobodies by collecting a large amount of peripheral blood from alpacas.

[0044] 2. Construction of an alpaca nanobody library

[0045] (1) Isolate lymphocytes from blood by density gradient centrifugation;

[0046] (2) Extract total mRNA from lymphocytes and reverse transcribe it into cDNA;

[0047] (3) Using cDNA as a template, primer 1 and primers 2-5 mixed in equal moles were used to amplify the VH-CH1-CH2 fragment of IgG1 and the VHH-CH2 fragment of IgG2 and IgG3 by PCR.

[0048] (4) The VHH-CH2 fragment was recovered as a template, and primer 6 was mixed with an equimolar amount of primer 2-5 for further PCR amplification to obtain the VHH gene fragments of IgG2 and IgG3.

[0049] PCR amplification reaction system: 1 μL VHH-CH2 fragment, 0.5 μL upstream primer (equal molar mixture of primers 2-5), 0.5 μL downstream primer (primer 6), 0.5 μL rtaq enzyme (Vazyme, P505-d1-AA), 5 μL 2×PCR Buffer (Vazyme, P505-d1-AB), 1 μL dNTP (Vazyme, P505-d1-AC), and 1.5 μL sterile water.

[0050] PCR amplification reaction program: 95℃ pre-denaturation for 2-5 min; 95℃ denaturation for 30 s, 55℃ annealing for 15 s, 72℃ extension for 40 s, 25 cycles; 72℃ final extension for 10 min (to ensure complete extension of all fragments).

[0051] The nucleotide sequences of primers 1-6 used to construct the nanobody library are shown below:

[0052] Primer 1: 5'-CGCCATCAAGGTACCAGTTGA-3' (SEQ ID NO.1);

[0053] Primer 2: 5'-CATGCCATGACTCGCGGCCCAGCCGGCCATGGCCCAGGTGCAGCTGGTGCAGTCTGG-3' (SEQ ID NO. 2);

[0054] Primer 3: 5'-CATGCCATGACTCGCGGCCCAGCCGGCCATGGCCCAGGTCACCTTGAAGGAGTCTGG-3' (SEQ ID NO. 3);

[0055] Primer 4: 5'-CATGCCATGACTCGCGGCCCAGCCGGCCATGGCCGAGGTGCAGCTGGTGGAGTCTGG-3' (SEQ ID NO. 4);

[0056] Primer 5: 5'-CATGCCATGACTCGCGGCCCAGCCGGCCATGGCCCAGGTGCAGCTGCAGGAGTCGGG-3' (SEQ ID NO.5);

[0057] Primer 6: 5'-CCACGATTCTGCGGCCGCTGAGGAGACRGTGAACCTGGGTCC-3' (SEQ ID NO. 6).

[0058] (5) The recovered VHH gene fragment was treated with restriction endonucleases SfiI (NEB, Cat.#R0123L) and NotI (NEB, Cat.#R0189L) at its 5' and 3' ends, respectively; at the same time, the phage vector plasmid pHen1 (self-prepared) was linearized using the same restriction enzyme digestion system.

[0059] (6) The digested VHH fragment was ligated with the linearized pHen1 vector under the catalysis of T4 DNA ligase (NEB, Cat.#M0202S) to construct a VHH-pIII fusion protein expression plasmid library. pIII is a flagellin protein on the surface of bacteriophage, and its encoding gene is located downstream of the NotI restriction site of the pHen1 vector.

[0060] (7) The above-mentioned ligation product was introduced into TG1 competent bacteria by electroporation. After appropriate culture, all colonies were collected to obtain the alpaca nanobody library.

[0061] 3. Displaying and screening specific nanobodies on the surface of bacteriophages

[0062] (1) After inoculating and culturing the frozen nanobody library, helper phage M13KO7 (NEB, Cat. #N0315S) was added for amplification.

[0063] (2) Enrich phage particles from culture supernatant using the PEG-NaCl method.

[0064] (3) The obtained phage was co-incubated with the IL-18 antigen embedded in Maxisorp immunoassay tubes (ThermoFisher Scientific) to allow them to fully bind.

[0065] (4) Screening: Discard unbound phages and wash repeatedly with PBS buffer to remove non-specifically bound phages.

[0066] (5) Elution: Add glycine solution to dissociate the specifically bound phage from the antigen and collect the eluent.

[0067] At this point, a phage pool expressing specific nanobodies has been obtained, which can then be used for two subsequent processes: constructing and enriching nanobodies libraries and preparing single-clone colonies.

[0068] (6) Constructing an enriched nanobody library: The eluted phages are re-infected with Escherichia coli in the logarithmic growth phase (without helper phages), and all infected bacteria are collected to obtain an antigen-specific nanobody library. This library can be used directly for the next round of screening (return to (1) of “3. Displaying screening-specific nanobodies on the surface of phages”).

[0069] (7) Preparation of monoclonal colonies: Take a small amount (about 0.5%) of eluted bacteriophage to infect Escherichia coli, spread it on solid culture medium, and incubate overnight at 37°C to obtain monoclonal colonies for subsequent positive clone identification.

[0070] 4. Identification of positive monoclonal nanobodies

[0071] (1) Select single colonies and inoculate them into microplates for culture, and add IPTG to induce the expression of VHH-pIII fusion protein (i.e. nanobody-pIII protein).

[0072] (2) Collect the bacterial culture supernatant containing nanobodies and add it to a Maxisorp clear 96-well plate (ThermoFisher Scientific) coated with RABV-G antigen and incubate with shaking at room temperature.

[0073] (3) The binding of nanobodies to antigens was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and the steps are as follows:

[0074] I. Add the supernatant of the induced VHH-pIII protein to the wells and incubate with shaking at room temperature;

[0075] II. Add c-myc-tagged mouse monoclonal antibody (Genscript, Cat. #A00863), and incubate at room temperature in the dark with shaking.

[0076] III. Add HRP substrate ABTS (Sigma-Aldrich, Cat. #A9941) and incubate at room temperature in the dark with shaking.

[0077] IV. OD measurement using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) reader 405 nm Absorbance.

[0078] (4) Screen out monoclonal nanobody colonies that can bind to the antigen, expand the culture, extract DNA plasmids and sequence them to obtain the nucleotide and amino acid sequences of the nanobody.

[0079] 5. Recombinant Expression and Purification of Small-Batch Monoclonal Nanobodies

[0080] (1) The above “4. Identification of positive monoclonal nanobodies” yielded monoclonal nanobodies that could specifically recognize and bind to RABV-G. The DNA plasmid encoding the nanobodies was transformed into BL21(DE3) competent cells, and the monoclonal nanobodies were expressed and purified in small batches using the E. coli expression system.

[0081] (2) Using the ELISA method, nanobodies of different concentrations were incubated, and the affinity between the nanobodies and the antigen was measured based on the binding ability of the nanobodies to RABV-G.

[0082] Three groups of monoclonal colony-corresponding antibodies (11G6, 9F7, and 9A3) were obtained. The results of the affinity tests for the RABV-G protein antigen are as follows: Figures 1-3 As shown.

[0083] Depend on Figures 1-3 It can be seen that 11G6 has the best affinity, K D The value is 241.5 nM; 9F7 has moderate affinity, K D The value is 642.4 nM; K of 9A3 D The value is slightly worse, K D The value is 1467 nM.

[0099] 6. Neutralization activity detection

[0100] Three types of antibodies were incubated with fluorescently labeled rabies virus (CVS-11 strain, 100 FFU) at 37°C for 1 hour to allow the nanobodies to bind to the virus. This mixture was then seeded into pre-formed monolayer BSR cells and cultured for 48 hours. Finally, the cells were observed under a fluorescence microscope. By statistically analyzing the proportion of uninfected (i.e., non-fluorescent) cell wells at each dilution, the highest serum dilution that inhibited infection in 50% of cell wells was calculated; this was the titer of the neutralizing antibody. Figure 4 As shown.

[0101] Depend on Figure 4 It can be seen that the neutralizing activities of the three nanobodies are similar, with 11G6 having the highest IC50. 50 IC with a capacity of 21.52 nM and 9F7 50 A 9A3 IC with a capacity of 12.84 nM. 50 It is 14.82 nM.

[0102] 7. Nanobody Cross-BB Detection

[0103] An in vitro blood-brain barrier (BBB) ​​model was established using human brain microvascular endothelial cells (hCMEC / D3, Procell, CL-0843). Figure 5 As shown. Cells were packed at 6 × 10⁻⁶. 4 Cells were seeded at a density of 1 / cm² in 0.4 μm pore size Transwell chambers (24 mm diameter; Corning) and cultured for 48–72 hours until confluence. Subsequently, nanobodies 9F7 dissolved in fresh culture medium were added to the upper chamber. Samples were taken from the lower chamber at 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, and 3 hours after drug addition. The antibody concentration in the samples was quantitatively determined using ELISA. The efficiency of the nanobodies across the BBB was as follows: Figure 6 As shown.

[0104] Depend on Figure 6 It can be seen that the efficiency of nanobodies in crossing the BBB is significantly higher than that of full-length antibodies, with a transport efficiency of up to 50% in 3 hours.
