Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of medical diagnostic reagents, specifically to a humanized monoclonal antibody against a β1-adrenergic receptor, its kit, and its applications. Background Technology
[0002] Anticardiomyocyte antibodies (AHAs) are a collective term for antibodies produced by the body against its own myocardial protein molecules, commonly seen in viral myocarditis (VMC) and dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). Viral infection and its subsequent abnormal immune response are important pathogenic mechanisms of VMC and DCM. Viral infection leads to myocardial damage, exposing hidden myocardial protein antigens, triggering an immune response, and producing AHAs against these self-antigens. According to molecular mimicry theory, myocardial protein antigens and viral proteins have highly homologous sequences. Viral infection of the human body can produce both antiviral antibodies and AHAs against myocardial-specific antigens (Yuan J, et al. The Journal of Immunology 187.6(2011):3451-3452.).
[0003] Anti-β1-adrenergic receptor antibodies act on myocardial β1-adrenergic receptors to produce chronic sympathetic stimulation, which is an important cause of inducing arrhythmias, apoptosis and myocardial remodeling; they can also activate receptor-gated calcium ion channels, leading to calcium overload and damage to cardiomyocytes (Nussinovitch Udi, et al. Clinical Reviews in Allergy and Immunology 44.1(2013):75-83.).
[0004] Foreign literature reports that the detection rate of anti-β1-adrenergic receptor antibodies in DCM patients is 26%-95%, and in VMC patients it is 37%-96%. Clinical studies have relatively small sample sizes, and the low detection rate of these antibodies in healthy individuals is consistent with that in my country. Anti-β1-adrenergic receptor antibodies (AHAs) can predict the risk of death in DCM patients. Stork et al. followed 65 DCM patients for 10.7 years, and the detection rate of anti-β1-AR antibodies was 26%. The all-cause mortality rate was 65% for DCM antibody-positive patients and 44% for antibody-negative patients, showing a significant correlation between DCM antibody positivity and all-cause mortality (Stork, Stefan, et al. Digest of the World Core Medical Journals 152.4(2006):697-704.). Iwata et al. followed up 104 patients with DCM (31±15) for 3 months. The incidence of multifocal premature ventricular contractions and ventricular tachycardia was significantly higher in patients with positive anti-β1-AR antibodies (40 cases) than in those with negative antibodies (90%: 67%, P<0.01; 65%: 34%, P<0.01), and the risk of sudden death was also significantly higher (17.5%: 4.7%, P<0.05) (Iwata, M. Journal of the American College of Cardiology 37 (2001).).
[0005] The mechanism of action of anti-β1-AR is related to calcium channels or β1-AR. Clinically, calcium channel blockers and / or β1-receptor blockers can be added for targeted treatment in the early stages of VCM and DCM. According to AHA test results, early treatment with diltiazem and metoprolol in DCM can effectively inhibit AHA-mediated myocardial injury, improve patient prognosis, and has good safety.
[0006] Natural myocardial antigens are difficult to isolate and purify, and are difficult to preserve for a long time, which limits the clinical application of myocardial antibody detection. Based on the amino acid sequence and antigenic determinant distribution of myocardial autoantibodies, peptides of natural antigenic determinants are designed and synthesized, and these peptides are used as antigens to detect anti-myocardial antibodies in patients. Summary of the Invention
[0007] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies and provide a humanized monoclonal antibody against β1-adrenergic receptors, its kit, and its applications. Based on the distribution of myocardial antigenic determinants, this invention designs and synthesizes polypeptides of natural antigenic determinants for immunization of animals to prepare monoclonal antibodies, which are then humanized and expressed to obtain humanized monoclonal antibodies against β1-adrenergic receptors. An antibody detection kit is then prepared. This kit can be used to assist in the diagnosis of autoimmune activation and prognosis assessment in patients with viral myocarditis (VMC) and dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), and to aid in the establishment of treatment plans.

[0060] WRAESDEARRCYNDPK;
[0061] 2) Mice were immunized with a mixture of immune-conjugated antigen and Freund's adjuvant. Then, spleen cells from the immunized mice were fused with myeloma cells SP2 / 0 and screened to obtain hybridoma cells.
[0062] 3) Sequencing the obtained hybridoma cells yields the amino acid sequences of the heavy and light chains of the variable region of the murine monoclonal antibody. The genes of the light and heavy chain variable regions of the murine monoclonal antibody are inserted into an expression vector containing the constant region of the human antibody. The vector is then transformed into mammalian cells to express chimeric antibodies. In this way, the variable regions of the light and heavy chains of the expressed antibody molecules are murine, while the constant regions are human, resulting in a humanized monoclonal antibody against the β1-adrenergic receptor antigen.
[0063] The aforementioned humanized monoclonal antibody comprises a heavy chain and a light chain, wherein the amino acid sequence of the heavy chain is shown in SEQ ID No. 1:

[0075] Example 2
[0076] I. Preparation of coating antigen (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay):
[0077] When β1-adrenergic receptor antigen is conjugated with bovine serum albumin (BSA), the coated plate becomes a solidified β1-adrenergic receptor antigen-BSA complex; the conjugation steps are as follows:
[0078] 1. First, dissolve 1 mg of BSA (bovine serum albumin) in filtered PBS (adjust the concentration to 10 mg / ml). Then, weigh 2 mg of Sulfo-SMCC reagent, dissolve it completely in 20 μL of DMSO, add 80 μL of PBS and mix well. Add this mixture to the dissolved 1 mg of BSA (10 mg / ml), mix well, and incubate in a 37°C water bath for 30 min, shaking once every 10 min.
[0079] 2. Add the activated BSA to a 10K TFF concentration column (purchased from Millipore, USA), add 10mM PBS (pH 7.2), centrifuge at 5,000g, add 10mM PBS (pH 7.2) again, centrifuge at 5,000g to fully remove free Sulfo-SMCC;
[0080] 3. Weigh 1 mg of antigenic peptide, dissolve it thoroughly in 100 μL PBS (10 mM), add it to activated BSA, and shake the mixture on a shaker at room temperature for 2 hours, gently shaking once every 30 minutes.
[0081] 4. Prepare 1L of 10mM PBS (pH 7.2), add the conjugate to a 3.5KD dialysis bag and dialyze for 24 hours, changing the medium every 8 hours to remove free unreacted peptides, and collect the dialyzed conjugate.
[0082] 5. After dialysis, take out the sample for quantitative analysis and store it in aliquots at -80℃, or use it directly for coating.
[0083] II. Antigen Coating:
[0084] 1. After determining the concentration of the conjugate obtained from dialysis in step one, adjust the concentration to 4 μg / mL with carbonate buffer. Coat each well with 100 μl of carbonate buffer containing 0.4 μg of the corresponding polypeptide antigen. Incubate at 4°C for 18 hours, then wash three times with washing buffer for 3 minutes each time.
[0085] 2. After patting dry, use phosphate buffer containing 1% bovine serum albumin and 0.625% cysteine as the blocking solution, 150 μl per well, and incubate at 37°C for 2 h to block and eliminate non-specific reactions. Wash 3 times with washing solution, pat dry, and obtain the immobilized β1-adrenergic receptor antigen coated plate, which is stored at 2-8°C for later use.
