Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of antibodies, and more particularly to the application of a protein-coupled antigen in the preparation of anti-fentanyl monoclonal antibodies. Background Technology

[0002] Novel synthetic opioids (NSOs) are a new class of drugs belonging to the novel psychoactive substances (NPS) category. They mainly include fentanyl and non-fentanyl analogues. These molecules possess pharmacological properties different from traditional opioids. Overdose can rapidly cause respiratory depression and may be life-threatening; long-term use may lead to neurotoxicity. Developing simple, rapid, and low-cost methods for the rapid detection of fentanyl and its analogues is of great significance for combating drug crimes and maintaining public safety.

[0003] Rapid detection methods based on immunoassay technology have become important tools for on-site screening due to their convenience, speed, and high specificity. In law enforcement or emergency medical situations, these methods can quickly provide a preliminary assessment of the presence of fentanyl-related substances. However, because these methods rely on the specific recognition of the target by antibodies, they have significant limitations. The primary problem is insufficient broad-spectrum recognition. Antibodies are typically designed to target specific structural sites of fentanyl; when illicit molecules modify key sites such as the phenethyl, piperidine ring, or amide side chain, the original antibodies may fail to recognize them, leading to false negatives. Furthermore, the complex mixtures in illicit drugs can also interfere with the detection process.

[0004] Although patent CN202210146811.7 discloses a fentanyl hapten modified with a propionyl site, it only clarifies that the hapten can be used to prepare drugs for treating opioid abuse and opioid use disorder, and does not involve its related applications in the preparation of anti-fentanyl monoclonal antibodies and detection reagents.

[0031] Example 2: Preparation of anti-fentanyl monoclonal antibody 1. Mouse immunization KLH-Hapten was injected subcutaneously at three points on the back of 6-week-old female Balb / c mice. Fent To administer immunizations.

[0032] Freund's complete adjuvant (purchased from Sigma-Aldrich Trading Ltd., catalog number F5581) was used with 100 μg KLH-Hapten Fent After emulsification to a constant volume, the first immunization was performed; two weeks later, Freund's incomplete adjuvant (purchased from Sigma-Aldrich Trading Ltd., catalog number F5506) and 100 μg KLH-Hapten were administered. FentEmulsify to an equal volume and administer a second booster immunization; administer a third booster immunization two weeks after the second booster immunization, using the same method as the second booster immunization.

[0033] Blood was collected from the orbital region of mice on days 21 and 35 after the initial immunization. The serum was collected by centrifugation at 6000 rpm and 4 ℃, then aliquoted and frozen at -80℃ for later use.

[0034] 2. Evaluation of immune response 2.1 Serum titer determination Coating: Dilute the BSA-Hapten prepared in Example 1 with coating solution Fent Add 100 μL of the solution to 1 μg / mL in a 96-well microplate, seal with a sealing film, and incubate overnight at 4°C.

[0035] The coating solution was formulated as follows: KCl 0.2 g, KH2PO4 0.24 g, Na2HPO4·12H2O 3.63 g, NaCl 8 g, and ddH2O was added to bring the volume to 1 L. The pH was 7.4. Blocking: After washing the plate three times with washing solution, add 100 μL / well of blocking solution and block at 37℃ for 1 h. The washing solution is a coating solution containing 0.5% Tween-20 and the blocking solution is a coating solution containing 5% (w / v) skim milk powder. Primary antibody incubation: After blocking, wash the plate 5 times with washing buffer, and add 100 μL / well of serum from immunized mice or unimmunized mice obtained on day 21 or day 35 after the initial immunization obtained in step 1. The dilution gradients include 1:1000, 3000, 9000, 27000, 81000, 243000, 729000, and 2187000. Incubate at 37 °C for 1 h. Secondary antibody incubation: After primary antibody incubation, wash the plate 5 times with washing buffer, add 100 μL / well of HRP-labeled goat anti-mouse secondary antibody diluted 1:5000, and incubate at 37℃ for 30 min; Color development: After the secondary antibody incubation, wash the plate 5 times with washing buffer, add 50 μL / well of TMB color development solution (purchased from Beyotime Biotechnology Co., Ltd., catalog number P0209), and incubate at 37°C for 10 min in the dark. Termination: Add 50 μL / well of 2 M H2SO4 to terminate the colorimetric reaction. Measure the absorbance (OD) at 450 nm using a microplate reader. 450 ).

[0036] 2.2 Fentanyl Affinity Determination The competitive affinity assay was performed based on the aforementioned method for serum titer determination, with the difference being that the primary antibody incubation step was replaced by adding 50 μL OD to each well. 450Diluted serum with a concentration in the range of 1 to 1.5 was incubated with 50 μL of serially diluted fentanyl solution at fentanyl concentration gradients of 0, 0.05, 0.20, 0.78, 3.12, 12.50, 50, and 200 μM.

[0037] As shown in Figure 3, the serum antibody titers produced after the second immunization (day 21) and the third immunization (day 35) both reached approximately 10. 6 The above indicates that the antigens have good immunization effects and can be used to produce monoclonal antibodies; the affinity of the serum antibodies produced by this group of antigens on day 35 for fentanyl, i.e., IC50, is... 50 The value ranges from 168 to 585 nM, indicating that this group of antigens can produce high-affinity monoclonal antibodies.

[0038] 3. Preparation of anti-fentanyl monoclonal antibodies 3.1 Preparation, screening, and monoclonalization of hybridomas Selecting serum antibodies and fentanyl IC 50 The mouse with the best IC value (IC 50 =168 nM), and a final pulse immunization was performed 3 days before fusion: an intraperitoneal injection of 150 μg of the KLH-Hapten immunogen without adjuvant. Fent Three days later, the mice were sacrificed, disinfected by soaking in 75% alcohol, and the spleens were removed under aseptic conditions. The spleen cells were then squeezed, ground, and counted.

[0039] SP2 / 0 myeloma cells in logarithmic growth phase were fused with spleen cells at a cell ratio of 1:5. The steps were as follows: After mixing spleen cells with SP2 / 0 myeloma cells, the mixture was centrifuged at 1000 rpm for 10 min. The cell mixture pellet was placed in a 37°C water bath and 1 mL of PEG1450 was added dropwise over 30 s. After the addition was complete, the mixture was allowed to stand for 30 s. Then, 1 mL of 37°C preheated 1640 medium was added dropwise at a rate of 1 mL per min, 2 mL per min, 3 mL per min, and 4 mL per min. The mixture was then allowed to stand for 10 min, centrifuged at 1000 rpm for 5 min, the supernatant was discarded, and HAT complete medium was added. The cell suspension was seeded at 200 μL / well into 96-well cell culture plates for culture.

[0040] On day 3 after fusion, a partial medium change was performed using HT complete medium; a complete medium change was performed on day 7. On the second day, a small amount of cell culture supernatant was taken, diluted, and measured according to the method described in step 2.1. The difference was that the primary antibody incubation step was changed to adding 50 μL of 16-fold diluted cell supernatant and 50 μL of 400 nM fentanyl solution to each well for incubation. Cell wells that showed an inhibition rate of 90% at a concentration of 400 nM fentanyl were selected, and monoclonalization was performed on these wells using limiting dilution until a monoclonal cell line stably expressing fentanyl-specific antibody was obtained.

[0041] 3.2 Preparation of anti-fentanyl monoclonal antibodies by in vivo induction method Female Balb / c mice aged 8-9 weeks were selected, and 0.5 mL of sterile liquid paraffin was injected intraperitoneally. One week later, 600 μL of a 10% concentration was added. 6 Hybridoma cells obtained from the aforementioned screening at a rate of [number] cells / mL were injected into the peritoneal cavity of mice to induce peritoneal tumors and ascites. One week later, mice were sacrificed and the ascites was collected. After centrifugation to remove the supernatant, the supernatant was discarded, and the supernatant was collected. The supernatant was diluted 3-fold with equilibration washing buffer (0.15 M NaCl, 20 mM Na2HPO4, pH=7.0) and loaded onto a Protein A affinity column (purchased from Changzhou Tiandi Renhe Biotechnology Co., Ltd., catalog number SA012005). This was repeated 5 times, with the column allowed to stand for 2 h after loading. Then, 5 column volumes of equilibration washing buffer were used to elute contaminating proteins from the affinity column. 2 mL of elution buffer (0.1 M glycine, pH=2.7) was added to elute the antibody from the affinity column. 200 μL of neutralization buffer (1 M Tris-HCl, pH=8.5) was added to each collection tube beforehand to adjust the solution to neutral, yielding an anti-fentanyl monoclonal antibody AA8 solution. This solution was then subjected to 50 [units of measurement - missing from original text]. kD ultrafiltration tubes (purchased from Millipore, catalog number UFC905096) were stored in PBS solution after ultrafiltration concentration, and the concentration of anti-fentanyl monoclonal antibody AA8 in the solution was determined using NanoDrop.

The established colloidal gold test strip immunochromatographic assay can quantify fentanyl in urine and hair; the IC50 value of fentanyl in urine samples based on the AA8 standard curve... 50 The concentration was 0.14 ng / mL, the LOD was 0.016 ng / mL, and the linear range was 0.036–0.57 ng / mL; the standard curve IC50 based on AA8 monoclonal antibody in hair samples was [data missing].50 The effective dose was 0.012 ng / mg, the LOD was 0.0019 ng / mg, and the linear range was 0.0037~0.038 ng / mg.

[0054] Example 5: Cross-reactivity test 1. Cross-reactivity test based on competitive ELISA method The experimental method was the same as in Example 3, evaluating cross-reactivity with 36 fentanyl and its analogues and 6 common drugs (heroin, methamphetamine, phenamine, ketamine, JWH-018, and MDMB-FUBICA). The concentration gradients of the 36 fentanyl and 6 common drugs were set to 0, 0.68, 2.06, 6.17, 18.5, 55.6, 167, and 500 ng / mL.

[0055] Anti-fentanyl monoclonal antibody AA8 and its IC50 values ​​for 36 fentanyl and its analogues, as well as 6 common drugs. 50 The values ​​are shown in Table 1. AA8 has IC values ​​for remifentanil, alfentanil, sufentanil, carfentanil, and six other common drugs. 50 The values ​​were all greater than 1 μg / mL, indicating that it did not cross-react with the six common drugs and could identify 32 fentanyl-related substances other than remifentanil, alfentanil, sufentanil, and carfentanil.

[0058] 2. Cross-reactivity test based on colloidal gold immunochromatography The experimental method is the same as in Example 9, except that the concentrations of 36 fentanyl and its analogues and 6 common drugs are 1 μg / mL or 100 ng / mL.

[0059] The results are shown in Figures 8 and 9. The colloidal gold immunochromatography method also showed that AA8 did not cross-react with the six common drugs (CR < 1%). The test strip based on AA8 could basically achieve the elimination line (i.e., inhibition rate > 50%) for 30 fentanyl-related substances, excluding p-methoxyfentanyl, p-methylfentanyl, remifentanyl, sufentanyl, 4-methoxyfuranfentanyl, and carfentanyl, at a competitive concentration of 1 μg / mL. The test strip based on monoclonal antibody AA8 could basically achieve the elimination line (i.e., inhibition rate > 50%) for 27 fentanyl-related substances, excluding 4'-methylfentanyl, nofentanyl, p-methoxyfentanyl, p-methylfentanyl, remifentanyl, alfentanyl, sufentanyl, 4-methoxyfuranfentanyl, and carfentanyl, at a competitive concentration of 100 ng / mL.
