Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of antibody technology, specifically to a 3D protein monoclonal antibody and its applications. Background Technology

[0002] Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is an acute and highly contagious disease caused by the foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV), primarily infecting cloven-hoofed animals such as pigs, cattle, and sheep. The disease spreads rapidly and widely, posing a serious threat to global livestock production, animal product trade, and biosecurity. It is listed as a notifiable animal disease by the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE).

[0003] FMDV viral particles exhibit a non-enveloped spherical structure with typical icosahedral symmetry, ranging in diameter from approximately 25 nm to 30 nm, making them one of the smallest known animal RNA viruses. The viral genome is a single-stranded positive-sense RNA, approximately 8400 nucleotides in length, consisting of a complete open reading frame (ORF) and untranslated regions at both ends. The 5′ untranslated region (5′-UTR) is structurally complex, containing regulatory elements such as internal ribosome entry sites; while the 3′ untranslated region (3′-UTR) is relatively short. The viral ORF is first translated into a polyprotein precursor, which is then processed by the virus's own encoded protease (primarily L...). pro and 3C pro Under the influence of ) cascade cleavage, it ultimately generates 4 structural proteins (VP1, VP2, VP3, and VP4) and 8 non-structural proteins (L pro ,2A,2B,2C,3A,3B,3C pro and 3D pol During this process, several stable protein cleavage intermediates are also formed, which play important roles in viral genome replication, capsid assembly, and viral particle maturation.

[0004] The FMDV 3D protein (RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, RdRp) is a key catalytic subunit for viral genome replication, responsible for synthesizing both positive and negative sense RNA strands, and plays an indispensable role in the viral life cycle. This protein exhibits high sequence conservation across different serotypes and subtypes of FMDV. During replication, small RNA viruses utilize the precursor protein 3CD as a functional intermediate. Although 3CD contains an active 3C protease domain, the activity of the 3D polymerase remains silent until the protein precursor is fully processed.

[0005] Structural biology studies have shown that FMDV 3D polIn terms of overall folding and catalytic mechanisms, it shares similarities with RdRp of various RNA viruses. Its three-dimensional structure exhibits a typical "right-handed" conformation, with three domains—the "palm," "fingers," and "thumb"—forming the active center cavity, responsible for substrate localization and metal ion coordination. The catalytic center of all RdRp is located in the palm domain, which contains a core composed of five conserved motifs, featuring three antiparallel β-sheets and flanking α-helices, participating in key functions such as structural stability, nucleotide recognition, binding, and phosphate transfer. In contrast, the thumb domain, composed of the C-terminus of a polypeptide chain, exhibits higher sequence and structural diversity in RdRp from different viral origins.

[0006] RNA replication of small RNA viruses is initiated in a primer-dependent manner. The viral protein VPg serves as a protein primer, with its tyrosine hydroxyl group at 3D... pol Ureylation occurs with the assistance of 3CD, forming a VPg-pU-pU complex, which then initiates RNA synthesis. Biochemical and structural studies suggest that the binding site of VPg to polymerase differs among different small RNA viruses: in FMDV, VPg mainly binds to the cleft of the polymerase active site; in Coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3), it binds to the base of the thumb domain; and in Enterovirus 71 (EV71), it is located at the base of the palm domain. During replication and elongation, RdRp completes three steps—nucleotide selection, phosphodiester bond formation, and template translocation—through dynamic conformational changes.

[0007] Studies on the structure and function of RdRp have provided potential targets for the development of highly selective anti-FMDV drugs. Research indicates that some nucleoside analogs, such as 5-fluorouracil and ribavirin, can inhibit viral replication through mutagenesis. Specifically, 5-fluorouracil, as a pyrimidine analog, can induce mutagenesis against various RNA viruses, including FMDV; ribavirin also possesses RNA polymerase-guided mutagenesis activity and can be used to eliminate FMDV from persistently infected cells by enhancing mutagenesis pressure.

[0033] 3. Screening of hybridoma cells Spleen cells from mice with the highest antibody levels were used for fusion experiments with SP2 / 0 cells. After fusion, an indirect ELISA method was used, with hybridoma cell supernatant as the primary antibody and HRP-labeled goat anti-mouse IgG antibody as the secondary antibody, to screen for positive hybridoma cell lines reacting with FMDV 3D. The positive hybridoma cell lines were cloned, purified, and passaged three times for expansion culture. Cells were collected and cultured at 2×10⁻⁶ cells / year. 6 Each cell / branch is preserved in liquid nitrogen.

[0034] 4. Preparation and purification of monoclonal antibodies One week prior to injection of the monoclonal cell line, sterile liquid paraffin was injected intraperitoneally into each BALB / c mouse (500 μL). Immunoreactive hybridoma monoclonal cells were collected, counted, and then adjusted to a cell density of 1 × 10⁻⁶. 6Cells / ml. Subsequently, the cell suspension was injected into the peritoneal cavity of BALB / c mice, and ascites fluid was collected multiple times over 10–14 days. The mouse ascites fluid was centrifuged at 12000 rpm for 10 min, filtered to remove lipids, tissue debris, and other impurities, and clear ascites fluid was obtained. Antibodies were purified by affinity chromatography using the following purification method: (1) Pretreatment of the chromatography column: Wash the Protein G affinity chromatography column with 10 column volumes of deionized water 3-5 times at a flow rate of 1 ml / min (2) Equilibration: Wash the column 3-5 times with 10 column volumes of equilibration buffer (0.02M PB + 0.3M NaCl, pH 7.0) at a flow rate of 1 ml / min until the pH of the effluent remains constant.

[0035] (3) Sample loading: Dilute the ascites with 0.02M PB, filter with a 0.22 μm filter membrane, and load the sample at a flow rate of 0.6mL / min.

[0036] (4) Washing: After loading the sample, wash the chromatography column with 5-10 times the column volume of equilibration buffer and collect the eluent.

[0037] (5) Elution: Elute with 5-10 times the amount of elution buffer (0.1M glycine, pH 3.0) and collect the eluent.

[0038] (6) pH adjustment: After elution, immediately adjust the pH of the elution product to neutral with saturated sodium carbonate.

[0039] (7) Clean the chromatography column: Rinse the chromatography column with 5-10 column volumes of pure water, and then immediately rinse with 5 times the equilibration buffer to equilibrate the chromatography column to neutral.

[0040] (8) Chromatography column storage: After washing the affinity chromatography column with 5 column volumes of 20% ethanol, store at 4°C.

[0041] (9) Sample concentration: Use a 10 kDa ultrafiltration tube to concentrate the eluted product to about 1-5 mL.

[0042] (10) Dialysis: Add all the concentrated sample into a dialysis bag and place it in 5 L of buffer (0.01M PBS, pH=7.4) for dialysis overnight. Change the buffer once on the second day.

[0043] (12) SDS-PAGE analysis was performed to determine antibody purity and protein content.

[0044] The SDS-PAGE analysis results are shown below. Figure 3 The antibody heavy chain and light chain bands were observed at 50 kDa and 25 kDa, respectively, and the purified 3D monoclonal antibody concentration was 7.5 mg / mL.

[0045] (13) The results of Western blotting identification are shown in [the table below]. Figure 4 This indicates that the screened 3D monoclonal antibody has good reactivity with the purified 3D protein.

[0046] 5. Monoclonal antibody subtype identification and sequencing (1) The monoclonal antibody Ig subtype was identified using a mouse monoclonal antibody subtype identification kit (proteintech), and the IgG1 subtype of the 3D monoclonal antibody was determined.

[0047] (2) Resuscitation of hybridoma cells: Take out a cryopreservation tube of hybridoma cells containing a specific monoclonal antibody against foot-and-mouth disease virus 3D protein from the liquid nitrogen tank, hold it with tweezers and quickly put it into a 37°C water bath. Shake it continuously to make the cells thaw quickly. Aseptically open the cryopreservation tube and transfer the cell solution into a 10mL DMEM medium. Place it in a 37°C incubator containing 5% CO2 until the hybridoma cells are completely attached to the wall. Then change the medium for the cells.

[0048] (3) PCR amplification of the variable region of monoclonal antibody: Cells were collected, centrifuged at 1500 rpm for 10 min, and RNA was extracted using the Trizol method. RNA concentration and integrity were assessed by NanoDrop spectrophotometer and agarose gel electrophoresis. Subsequently, RNA was reverse transcribed into cDNA using SMART Scribe reverse transcriptase (Vazyme), combined with oligo-dT primers and template switching primers (TSO), following the manufacturer's recommended procedure. The prepared cDNA was used as a template to amplify its gene fragments using high-fidelity polymerase. The forward primers used for amplification were anchored to the TSO sequence, while the reverse primers targeted the constant regions of the immunoglobulin heavy or light chains. Partial P5 and P7 adapter sequences were introduced into the 5′ ends of the forward and reverse primers, respectively. In the first round of PCR amplification, the heavy and light chain fragments were amplified separately in independent reaction systems; in the second round of PCR, the products from the first round were tailed using index primers to construct a TruSeq library with a double-indexed structure. After purification with magnetic beads, the concentration of the library was determined using the Qubit quantitative PCR system, and paired-end sequencing was performed on the Illumina MiSeq PE300 or BGI G99 sequencing platform according to the instrument operation manual.

[0055] (2) Sample preparation: Cells were lysed using lysis buffer, and after obtaining protein samples by centrifugation at 12,000 rpm for 15 min, 5× protein loading buffer was added, mixed thoroughly, and then in a 100℃ metal bath for 10 min. After cooling, the mixture was centrifuged at 12,000 rpm for 2 min.

[0056] (3) Electrophoresis: Fix the SDS-PAGE gel (12% separating gel, 5% stacking gel) on the electrophoresis apparatus, add 1×Tris-glycine electrophoresis buffer, and load 10µL of sample into each lane. The initial electrophoresis voltage is 80 V.

[0063] 2. Western blotting detection of 3D protein expression in FMDV-infected cells PK15 cells were infected with FMDV at a MOI of 0.1 and cultured at 37°C for 12 h. PK15 cells were then collected, with uninfected cells used as a negative control. Cells were lysed using NP-40 lysis buffer, centrifuged at 12000 rpm for 15 min to obtain protein samples, and then loaded with protein loading buffer. The mixture was incubated at 100°C for 10 min and then subjected to SDS-PAGE gel electrophoresis using a 12% protein gel. The membrane was transferred at a constant voltage of 100 V for 1 h. After transfer, the PVDF membrane was removed and blocked with 5% skim milk powder at room temperature for 1 h. 3D monoclonal antibody diluted with blocking buffer was added, and the membrane was incubated overnight at 4°C. The membrane was washed 5 times with 1×PBST, and diluted HRP-labeled goat anti-mouse IgG antibody (1:5000 dilution) was added. The membrane was incubated at room temperature for 1 h. After washing 5 times with 1×PBST, an appropriate amount of ECL chromogenic solution was added to the PVDF membrane, and the image was scanned, exposed, and saved.

[0064] The results of Western blotting are shown below. Figure 6 The 3D protein monoclonal antibody detected a clear and specific reaction band in protein samples derived from infected PK15 cells, while uninfected PK15 cells did not show this band at the same location.

[0065] Example 4 Assay of monoclonal antibody activity against FMDV nonstructural protein 3D 1. Immunofluorescence detection of 3D protein expression and subcellular localization analysis in overexpressed cells PK15 cells were loaded at a rate of 1×10 5 Cells were seeded at a density of / wells in confocal dishes and transfected with eukaryotic expression plasmid pCAGGS-HA-3D and empty vector plasmid pCAGGS-HA for 24 h. Cells were washed twice with PBS, fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde at room temperature for 30 min, permeabilized with 0.2% Triton X-100 at room temperature for 10 min, and blocked with blocking buffer containing 2% BSA at room temperature for 1 h. Cells were then incubated overnight at 4 °C with FMDV 3D monoclonal antibody (1:500 dilution); followed by incubation with goat anti-mouse 555 red fluorescent secondary antibody (1:500 dilution) at 37 °C for 1 h; washed four times with PBS; and finally stained nuclei with DAPI at room temperature for 5 min, washed four times with PBS, and observed and photographed under a confocal microscope. Confocal results ( Figure 7 The results showed that the monoclonal antibody bound well to the FMDV 3D overexpression product in PK15 cells and had high specificity, while the control group transfected with the empty vector pCAGGS-HA showed no fluorescence. In cells transfected with pCAGGS-HA-3D, the 3D protein was mainly distributed in the cytoplasm.

[0066] 2. Immunofluorescence detection of 3D protein expression and subcellular localization in FMDV-infected cells PK15 cells were adsorbed with FMDV at an MOI of 0.1 for 1 hour, with uninfected cells used as a negative control. The confocal dish was gently agitated every 20 minutes. After 1 hour of adsorption, the cells were cultured in complete medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum for 12 hours. Cells were washed twice with PBS, fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde at room temperature for 30 minutes, washed four times with PBS, and permeabilized with 0.2% Triton X-100 in PBS at room temperature for 10 minutes. The solution was discarded, and cells were blocked with blocking buffer containing 2% BSA at room temperature for 1 hour. FMDV 3D monoclonal antibody was diluted with the above blocking buffer and incubated overnight at 4°C. Cells were washed four times with PBS, and goat anti-mouse 555 red fluorescent secondary antibody was diluted with PBS and incubated at 37°C in the dark for 1 hour. Cells were washed four times with PBS, and nuclei were stained with DAPI at room temperature in the dark for 5 minutes. Cells were washed four times with PBS and observed and photographed under a confocal microscope. Results ( Figure 8 The results showed that the 3D monoclonal antibody exhibited good specificity in reacting with protein samples derived from FMDV-infected PK15 cells, and showed no non-specific binding in uninfected PK15 cells. The study also found that the 3D protein was mainly distributed in the cytoplasm of FMDV-infected cells.

[0067] In summary, this invention successfully prepared a specific monoclonal antibody against the FMDV 3D protein and systematically evaluated its effectiveness in indirect immunofluorescence and Western blotting detection. Furthermore, the expression and subcellular localization of the FMDV 3D protein in overexpressing cells and virus-infected cells were analyzed. The successful preparation of this antibody provides an important research tool for further exploring the interaction mechanism between the non-structural protein 3D and host proteins during FMDV infection.
