Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of biotechnology, and particularly relates to a porcine rotavirus specific monoclonal antibody and a latex microsphere immunochromatographic test strip containing the antibody. BACKGROUND

[0002] Rotaviruses (RVs) belong to the family Reoviridae, genus Rotavirus, are double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) viruses with a icosahedral structure and no envelope, and are an important cause of diarrhea in children and young animals. The RV virion is about 70 nm in diameter, and the genome is composed of 11 dsRNA segments, encoding 6 structural proteins (VP1-VP4, VP6 and VP7) and 6 non-structural proteins (NSP1-NSP6). According to the antigenicity of VP6 protein, RVs can be divided into 12 serogroups (RVA-RVL), among which RVA, RVB, RVC, RVE and RVH can infect pigs, and group A is the most common subtype causing diarrhea in suckling pigs. The outer capsid proteins VP4 and VP7 have specific neutralizing epitopes, and determine G and P genotypes, respectively. Various combinations between G and P types can occur, and the cross-protection between different serotypes is low. Currently, 42 G genotypes and 58 P genotypes have been identified. In pigs, G3-G5, G9 and G11 are most common in the world, as are P[6], P[7], P

[13] , P

[19] and P

[23] . In addition, in order to better distinguish the homology and heterogeneity between strains, the Rotavirus Classification Working Group (RCWG) established a classification system based on 11 gene segments, using the symbol Gx-P[x]-Ix-Rx-Cx-Mx-Ax-Nx-Tx-Ex-Hx to represent the genotypes of VP7-VP4-VP6-VP1-VP2-VP3-NSP1-NSP2-NSP3-NSP4-NSP5 / 6 genes.

[0003] Due to the genetic reassortment of RV in nature, it brings great challenges to the prevention and control of the disease. In pig population, porcine rotaviruse (PRoV) is an important cause of epidemic diarrhea in piglets, often mixed infection with some enteroviruses such as: porcine transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV), porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV), porcine delta coronavirus (PDCoV) and porcine sapovirus (PSV), etc., which makes the disease worsen rapidly and causes significant economic losses. In order to reduce losses and ensure the healthy development of pig industry, it is of great significance to establish an economic and efficient PRoV differential diagnosis method. At present, the detection methods for PRoV include: virus isolation culture identification, virus electron microscope morphology examination, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), immunochromatography test strip detection technology, reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), real-time fluorescent quantitative (RT-qPCR), loop-mediated isothermal nucleic acid amplification technology (LAMP), in situ hybridization technology (ISH) and nanopore sequencing, etc. Compared with other technologies, the immunochromatography test strip detection technology has the characteristics of simple operation, short time consumption, visual observation of detection results by naked eye, and no need of professional personnel and instruments for operation. The latex microspheres have high physical and chemical tolerance, deep color and high visualization degree compared with the commonly used marker colloidal gold. SUMMARY

All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0078] The PRoV strain used in the examples was group A porcine rotavirus RVA / Pig / China / GZ / 2023 / G9P

[23] (Genebank No. PQ323310~PQ323320). Six-week-old Babl / c female mice were purchased from the Experimental Animal Center of Lanzhou Veterinary Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences. The reverse transcription kit was PrimeScript II 1st Strand cDNA Synthesis Kit, TAKARA, 6210A. Latex microspheres were purchased from Suzhou Weidu Biotechnology Co., Ltd. EDC was purchased from Sigma, catalog number: 03449. NHS was purchased from Sigma, catalog number: 8045180025.

[0079] Example 1: Preparation of PRoV monoclonal antibody and amplification of antibody sequence

[0080] 1.1 ProoV virus propagation and purification

[0081] MA104 cells were seeded into T75 cell culture flasks. After the cells formed a monolayer, they were washed twice with sterile 0.01 mol / L PBS (K2HPO4 0.26 g, Na2HPO4·12H2O 2.89 g, NaCl 8.50 g, diluted to 1 L with water, pH 7.4). Then, 0.01 MOI of PRoV was seeded. The cell culture medium was serum-free DMEM containing 0.1% 1 mg / mL trypsin. Before seeding, PRoV was treated with 1% 1 mg / mL trypsin at 37°C for 1 h. After 80% of the cells showed cytopathic effects, the samples were collected and subjected to three freeze-thaw cycles at -80°C, followed by centrifugation at 8000 rpm for 30 min to remove cell debris. The supernatant was transferred to an ultracentrifuge tube and centrifuged at 100,000 g for 2 h to collect the precipitate. The precipitate was resuspended in an appropriate amount of PBS, and the virus was purified using a sucrose density gradient centrifugation method. Four sucrose gradients were set up: 30%, 40%, 60%, and 70%. Sucrose was added sequentially from low to high concentration to ultracentrifuge tubes, with the virus solution added on top. The tubes were centrifuged at 100,000g for 2 hours, and samples between 40% and 60% concentration were collected. This sample was mixed with an appropriate amount of PBS and centrifuged at 100,000g for 2 hours to remove the sucrose. The precipitate was resuspended in PBS, yielding purified PRoV.

[0082] 1.2 Mouse Immunization

[0083] Purified PRoV was inactivated at 56℃ for 30 min, and Babl / c mice were immunized at a dose of 30 μL / mouse. For the initial immunization, PRoV was emulsified by mixing an equal volume of PRoV with Freund's complete adjuvant and administering the emulsion via multiple subcutaneous injections at the dorsal sites. Booster immunizations were administered every 2 weeks for a total of four immunizations. For booster immunizations, purified PRoV was emulsified by mixing an equal volume of PRoV with Freund's incomplete adjuvant and administering the emulsion via the same method as the initial immunization.

[0084] 1.3 Preparation of Monoclonal Antibodies

[0085] Spleen cells from a PRoV-immunized mouse were mixed with SP20 cells (5:1 ratio) and fused using PEG fusion agent. The fused cells were seeded in 96-well cell plates and cultured at 37°C in a CO2 incubator. Once the hybridoma cells had covered the bottom 1 / 10 of the cell plate, the supernatant was aspirated and verified using indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA). Positive cell wells were subcloned three times using limiting dilution. Finally, anti-PRoV monoclonal hybridoma cell lines were obtained and labeled.

[0086] IFA Assay: PRoV was treated with 1% 1 mg / mL trypsin at 37°C for 1 h, and then MA104 cells in a monolayer of 96 wells were seeded at 0.01 MOI. 24 h after seeding, cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde at room temperature for 30 min, and washed three times with 0.01 mol / L PBS; then permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 at room temperature for 10 min, and washed three times with PBS; subsequently, hybridoma cell supernatant and FITC-labeled goat anti-mouse IgG were incubated. The results were observed under a fluorescence microscope after the reaction was complete.

[0087] 1.4 Purification of Monoclonal Antibodies

[0088] Balb / c mice aged 10–12 weeks were injected intraperitoneally with 0.5 mL of Freund's incomplete adjuvant. One week later, each mouse was injected intraperitoneally with 5 × 10⁻⁶ mL of the adjuvant. 5 After 7-10 days, significant abdominal distension occurred in the mice treated with 0.2 mL of hybridoma cells. Ascites fluid was collected and aliquoted. Purification of the ascites fluid was performed according to PIERCE NAb... TM Affinity chromatography was performed using the Protein G Spin Purification Kit.

[0089] 1.5 Subclass Identification of Monoclonal Antibodies

[0090] The obtained monoclonal antibodies were identified as antibody subclasses according to the instructions of the Southern Biotech SBAClonotyping™ System / HRP Antibody Subclass Identification Kit.

[0091] The results showed that the heavy chain constant region of the monoclonal antibodies from hybridoma cell lines 2E5 and 2G2 was of the IgG1 type, and their light chain constant region was of the Kappa type.

[0093] RNA was extracted from hybridoma cells 2E5 and 2G2, and then reverse transcribed into cDNA using Oligo-dt or random primers.

[0094] The antibody variable region gene was amplified using nested PCR. First, using the cDNA synthesized via reverse transcription as a template, the antibody variable region gene was amplified using a first-round primer sequence of murine IgG and κ light chain antibodies. Then, using the first-round product as a template, the antibody variable region gene was amplified using a second-round primer sequence of murine IgG and κ light chain antibodies. The PCR reaction system was: 25 μL PrimeSTAR Max Premix (2×), 1 μL each of P1 and P2, 1 μL cDNA, and ddH2O to a final volume of 50 μL.

[0107] 2.3 Preparation of sample pad

[0108] Immerse the sample pad in a sample pad blocking solution (2% BSA, 0.5% S17, 2% PEG200000, 0.5% sodium caseinate and 0.05% Krovin 300 in Tris-HCl solution) for 2 hours at 37℃~38℃, then remove and dry in an oven for 2~4 hours, and finally place in an aluminum foil bag to dry for later use. Figure 1 As shown, a sample application hole is provided in the middle of the sample pad.

[0109] 2.4 Preparation of nitrocellulose membranes

[0110] PRoV monoclonal antibody 2E5 and goat anti-mouse IgG antibody were diluted to 1 mg / mL and sprayed onto a nitrocellulose membrane at a distance of 5-8 mm, serving as the detection line (T) and control line (C), respectively. After the lines were drawn, they were dried at 37℃-38℃ for 2-3 hours.

[0111] 2.5 Assembly of test strips

[0112] The sample pad, conjugate pad, nitrocellulose membrane, and absorbent pad are sequentially connected on a PVC base plate to obtain a test strip. The test strip is then cut into strips according to the size of the test strip holder, and the cut test strips are then inserted into the test strip holder. A schematic diagram of the test strip structure is shown below. Figure 1 As shown.

[0113] Example 3: Application of latex microsphere immunochromatographic test strips for porcine rotavirus detection

[0114] 3.1 How to use the test strip

[0115] 3.1.1 Sample preparation

[0116] (1) Sample collection swabs were used as pig anal swabs or pig feces swabs for sample collection.

[0117] (2) Insert the sampled swab into the sample tube (containing 1 mL of sample processing solution), stir thoroughly for 10–15 seconds, then remove it and shake back and forth to mix well, so that the sample dissolves and is thoroughly mixed with the sample processing solution. Then let it stand for 1 minute to allow any undissolved sample to precipitate. The sample processing solution is 0.01 mol / L pH 7.4 PBS solution.

[0118] 3.1.2 Sample Testing

[0119] Remove the sealed test strip and place it on a dry, stable surface. Use a pipette to draw an appropriate amount of the supernatant from step 3.1.1 and slowly add 6–7 drops (approximately 100–150 μL) into the sample well. Observe the results 10 minutes after sample addition.

[0120] 3.1.3 Judgment

[0121] (1) The appearance of two red bands on the test strip (T: test line, C: control line) indicates a positive result (see [link to test strip]). Figure 2 A).

[0122] (2) If only one red band appears on the test strip (C: control line), the result is negative (see...). Figure 2 B).

[0123] (3) If no red band appears at the control line of the test strip, it is considered invalid (see...). Figure 2 C).

[0124] 3.2 Sensitivity of the test strip

[0125] PRoV TCID 50 10 5.67 The virus was serially diluted 1:10 at a concentration of 1 / mL, and then serially diluted 2:10 to test the sensitivity of the established test strip.

[0126] The results showed that the test result was still positive after a 1280-fold dilution of the virus, and negative after a 2560-fold dilution. Therefore, the test strip prepared in this embodiment has a sensitivity of 1280 times, meaning that the minimum virus detection limit of the method of this invention is 10. 2.56 TCID 50 / mL, such as Figure 3 As shown.

[0127] 3.3 Specificity of the test strip

[0128] Ten negative anal swabs, numbered 1-10, were tested using test strips. The results showed a red band at the control line C, but no band was observed at the T line, indicating a negative test result. Figure 4 Furthermore, when different porcine viruses such as PEDV, TGEV, SADS-CoV, and PSV were detected using test strips, only PRoV tested positive, while the others did not react. This indicates that the method established in this invention can specifically identify PRoV. Figure 5 As shown, the test strip developed in this invention has high specificity.

[0129] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and not to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
