Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of allergen detection, and in particular to an antibody against Der p2 and its uses. Background Technology
[0002] House dust mites (Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus) are a global indoor allergen. Their class 2 allergen components, Der p 2 and Der p 1, are both major allergens and play a central role in the pathogenesis of house dust mite allergies. Der p 2 possesses unique structure and immunological functions, and its sensitization rate is highly correlated with clinical severity.
[0003] The precursor to house dust mite class 2 allergen (Der p 2) consists of 146 amino acids, which, after processing to remove the signal peptide, becomes 129 amino acids with a molecular weight of 14 kDa and no glycosylation sites. Its sensitization rate is comparable to Der p 1, reaching 80-95% in patients with house dust mite allergies. It is a very stable protein, heat-resistant and not easily degraded, allowing it to persist in the environment for a long time and remain in human exposure. Furthermore, Der p 2 shares extremely high sequence homology (approximately 88%) with Der f 2, another major house dust mite, thus exhibiting strong cross-reactivity. Patients sensitized to Der p 2 almost always also test positive for Der f 2, making Der p 2 an excellent biomarker for diagnosing house dust mite allergy.
[0004] Although both Der p1 and Der p2 are major components, approximately 10-20% of patients may be sensitized to only one. Therefore, differential detection of Der p1 and Der p2-specific IgE can maximize the diagnostic sensitivity of house dust mite allergy, providing a complete picture of the patient's sensitization spectrum. Similar to Der p1, sensitization to Der p2 is also associated with more severe clinical symptoms, such as asthma. Studies have shown that patients sensitized to both Der p1 and Der p2 generally have a higher risk and severity of asthma than those sensitized to only one. Therefore, Der p2-specific IgE testing is an important basis for risk stratification and clinical phenotype classification. Furthermore, Der p2 is a key antigen that must be included in allergen-specific immunotherapy (AIT) formulations. Detecting Der p2-specific IgE helps predict the efficacy of AIT. Patients with strongly positive Der p2 results are more likely to require treatment with effective formulations containing Der p2. Monitoring changes in Der p2-specific IgE levels during AIT (such as a possible decrease in the later stages) can serve as one of the indicators for monitoring the immune response.
[0005] The detection of Der p 2 specific IgE is of great significance, but the reliability of its results is severely limited by standardization issues. Currently, all commercially available specific IgE detection systems (such as ImmunoCAP, Immulite, etc.) face a fundamental technical bottleneck: the lack of international standards and specific standard curves for single allergen components such as Der p 2. In other words, the quantitative detection of all allergen-specific IgE relies on a universal standard curve calibrated using total IgE antibodies. Summary of the Invention

[0014] As described above, the anti-Der p 2 antibody and its use according to the present invention have the following beneficial effects: This invention successfully prepared the Der p2 protein, a major allergen of house dust mites, using a mammalian cell expression system. New Zealand rabbits were immunized with this protein, and a group of monoclonal antibodies with high affinity and sensitivity to Der p2 were screened. Furthermore, this antibody was modified into a humanized IgE and applied to a magnetic particle chemiluminescent quantitative detection reagent for Der p2-specific IgE. This reagent can establish a standard curve for Der p2 alone, thereby achieving accurate and reproducible absolute quantitative analysis with a detection sensitivity of up to 0.1 IU / mL. The detection method based on the anti-Der p2 antibody provided in this invention has significant value for the clinical diagnosis of allergic reactions. Attached Figure Description

[0048] In this invention, the term "antibody" refers to an immunoglobulin-derived molecule capable of specifically binding to a target antigen, said immunoglobulin-derived molecule binding to said target antigen through at least one antigen-binding site located in its variable region. When referring to the term "antibody," unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, it includes not only the complete antibody but also antigen-binding fragments capable of specifically binding to a target antigen. A "complete antibody" typically consists of two pairs of polypeptide chains (each pair having one light chain (LC) and one heavy chain (HC)). The antibody light chain can be classified as κ (kappa) and λ (lambda) light chains. The heavy chain can be classified as μ, δ, γ, α, or ε, and the isotypes of the antibody are defined as IgM, IgD, IgG, IgA, and IgE, respectively. Within the light and heavy chains, the variable and constant regions are linked by a "J" region of approximately 12 or more amino acids, and the heavy chain also contains a "D" region of approximately 3 or more amino acids. Each heavy chain consists of a heavy chain variable region (VH) and a heavy chain constant region (CH). The heavy chain constant region consists of three domains (CH1, CH2, and CH3). Each light chain consists of a light chain variable region (VL) and a light chain constant region (CL). The light chain constant region consists of one CL domain. The constant domains do not directly participate in antibody-antigen binding but exhibit various effector functions, such as mediating the binding of immunoglobulins to host tissues or factors, including various cells of the immune system (e.g., effector cells) and the first component (C1q) of the classical complement system. The VH and VL regions can be further subdivided into highly degenerated regions (called complementarity-determining regions (CDRs)) interspersed with more conserved regions called framework regions (FRs).
[0049] In this invention, the term "complementarity determining region" or "CDR" generally refers to a region in an antibody that is spatially complementary to the antigenic determinant. The variability in an antibody is usually not uniformly distributed throughout the variable region. Both the heavy chain and light chain variable regions of a monoclonal antibody typically have three hypervariable regions (HVRs). These regions are spatially complementary to the antigenic determinant, so they are also called complementarity determining regions (CDRs). Specifically, the heavy chain variable region typically includes three CDRs: HCDR1, HCDR2, and HCDR3, while the light chain variable region typically includes three CDRs: LCDR1, LCDR2, and LCDR3.
[0050] In this invention, the term "monoclonal antibody" generally refers to a group of antibodies that are substantially identical (except for a few possible naturally occurring mutations). Monoclonal antibodies typically target specific determinants on an antigen.
[0051] In this invention, the term "nucleic acid molecule" can refer to either a natural nucleic acid molecule or an artificial nucleic acid molecule, such as DNA or RNA that does not naturally exist. In other words, an artificial nucleic acid molecule can be understood as a non-natural nucleic acid molecule. Such nucleic acid molecules may be non-natural due to their individual sequence (which is not naturally occurring) and / or due to other modifications that are not naturally occurring, such as structural modifications of nucleotides. An artificial nucleic acid molecule can be a DNA molecule, an RNA molecule, or a hybrid molecule containing both DNA and RNA portions. Typically, artificial nucleic acid molecules can be designed and / or generated by genetic engineering methods to correspond to a desired artificial nucleotide sequence (heterologous sequence). In this case, the artificial sequence is usually a sequence that may not naturally exist, i.e., it differs from the wild-type sequence by at least one nucleotide. The term "wild-type" can be understood as a naturally occurring sequence. Furthermore, the term "artificial nucleic acid molecule" is not limited to meaning "a single molecule," but is generally understood to include the whole of the same molecule. Therefore, it can refer to multiple identical molecules contained in a sample.
[0052] In this invention, the term "DNA" is a common abbreviation for deoxyribonucleic acid. It is a nucleic acid molecule, that is, a polymer composed of nucleotides. These nucleotides are typically monomers of deoxyadenosine monophosphate, deoxythymidine monophosphate, deoxyguanosine monophosphate, and deoxycytidine monophosphate, which themselves consist of a sugar moiety (deoxyribose), a base moiety, and a phosphate moiety, and are polymerized through a characteristic backbone structure. Typically, the backbone structure is formed by a phosphodiester bond between the sugar moiety, i.e., the deoxyribose, of the first nucleotide and the phosphate moiety of the second adjacent monomer. The specific sequence of the monomers, i.e., the sequence of bases linked to the sugar / phosphate backbone, is called the DNA sequence. DNA can be single-stranded or double-stranded. In the double-stranded form, the nucleotides of the first strand typically hybridize with the nucleotides of the second strand, for example, through A / T base pairing and G / C base pairing.

The present invention can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and various details in this specification can also be modified or changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

[0057] 1. Gene synthesis The amino acid sequence (P49287, amino acids D18-D146) of the human house dust mite allergen component protein Der p2 was downloaded from the uniprot database. A rabbit IgG1 heavy chain signal peptide (METGLRWLLLVAVLKGVQC) was added to the N-terminus of this sequence, and a 6×His tag was added to the C-terminus. After codon optimization, the sequence was sent to Sassofi Biotechnology Co., Ltd. (Jiangsu Sassofi Biotechnology Co., Ltd.) for gene synthesis, and the synthesized recombinant plasmid was placed into the pCDNA3.1 vector. The synthesized recombinant plasmid was transformed into DH5α competent cells, plated on Amp+ medium plates, and single colonies were screened. These single colonies were then cultured by shaking to obtain the pCDNA3.1-Der p2 recombinant bacterial strain.
[0058] The amino acid sequence of Der p 2 (P49287, amino acids D18-D146) is shown in SEQ ID No. 14.
[0059] 2. Protein expression The pCDNA3.1-Der p2 recombinant bacterial strain was activated and cultured. Following the instructions of the endotoxin-free plasmid extraction kit, the pCDNA3.1-Der p2 recombinant plasmid was extracted and transfected into Expi293F suspension cells (purchased from Gibco) for protein expression.
[0060] The transfection steps are as follows: (1) Cell counting was performed on the day of transfection. The viability was above 95% and the density was 3×10⁻⁶. 6 Cells / mL. For example, to transfect 25 mL of cells: take 20 μg of plasmid, dilute it with 1.5 mL of Opti-MEM serum-depleted medium, mix gently and let stand for 5 min; then take 80 μl of ExpiFectamine™ 293 reagent, add it to 1.5 mL of Opti-MEM serum-depleted medium and mix thoroughly and let stand for 5 min; mix the plasmid and transfection reagent after standing, mix gently and let stand for another 10 min.
[0061] (2) After standing, add the plasmid-transfection reagent mixture dropwise to 25 mL of cells while gently shaking the shaker. Finally, place the shaker in a shaker for culture (37°C, 8% CO2, 125 rpm).
[0062] (3) 18-24 h after transfection, add 150 μl of ExpiFectamine™ 293 Transfection Enhancer 1 and 1.5 ml of ExpiFectamine™ 293 Transfection Enhancer 2 and continue to incubate on a shaker.
[0063] (4) The expression product can be collected 5-7 days after transfection.
[0064] 3. Protein purification The Der p 2 recombinant protein was purified using a Ni column (Sangon Biotech).
[0065] (1) Centrifuge to collect the cell supernatant after transfection and expression, and filter the cell supernatant through a 0.45 μm filter membrane; (2) First, wash the resin with 5-10 column volumes of pure water at 50-150 cm / h to remove ethanol. Then, use 5-10 column volumes of binding buffer (20 mM PB, 0.5 M NaCl, pH 7.4) at 150-600 cm / h to equilibrate the medium and ensure that the composition and pH of the solution in the medium are consistent with the sample. (3) Start loading the sample at a flow rate of 150 cm / h; (4) After the sample loading is completed, wash the non-specifically adsorbed proteins with 10-20 column volumes of washing buffer (20 mM PB, 0.5 M NaCl, 1-30 mM imidazole, pH 7.4) at 150 cm / h, and collect the washing buffer for subsequent analysis. (5) Elute the target protein with 5-10 times the volume of elution buffer (20 mM PB, 0.5 M NaCl, 500 mM imidazole, pH 7.4) and collect the eluent; (6) The collected target protein eluent was ultrafiltered with 1×PBS to remove imidazole, and then concentrated to a concentration of 1 mg / ml after ultrafiltration and stored at -20℃ for later use.
[0066] like Figure 1 As shown, the purified protein was analyzed by SDS-PAGE electrophoresis. The molecular weight of Der p 2 protein was around 14.1 KD, which is in line with expectations (Der p 2 is around 14.1 KD), and the purity can reach more than 90%.

[0067] Two 6-8 week old New Zealand rabbits, approximately 2 kg each, were immunized with 30 μg of prepared Der p 2 protein. For the first immunization, the Der p 2 protein was emulsified with an equal volume of Freund's complete adjuvant and injected subcutaneously at multiple sites. A total of three immunizations were administered: a second immunization two weeks after the first, and a third immunization one week later. For both the second and third immunizations, incomplete Freund's adjuvant was used for antigen emulsification, and the dosage and method of immunization remained unchanged. After the third immunization, a small amount of blood was collected from behind the ear, and serum titers were determined by indirect ELISA.

Wash the coated microplate three times with a plate washer and dry it. Add 300ul of blocking buffer to each well and incubate at room temperature for 1 hour. Then wash the blocked microplate three times with a plate washer and dry it.
[0069] (2) Incubation of primary antibody: Dilute rabbit serum with PBS buffer, add 100 μL of diluted serum to each well, incubate at room temperature for 1 hour, and after incubation, wash the microplate three times in a plate washer and then dry it.

[0114] Example 6: Detection of specific IgE in samples using anti-Derp2 humanized IgE antibody In this embodiment, a Derp2-specific IgE standard curve was constructed using an anti-Derp2 humanized IgE antibody, and a total IgE standard curve was also constructed. Clinical samples were tested, and the luminescence values were substituted into the two standard curves to obtain the concentration of specific IgE in the samples. The specific experimental procedure is as follows: 6.1 Constructing a total IgE standard curve (1) Magnetic beads coated with anti-human IgE monoclonal antibody magnetic beads a) Activation of magnetic beads: Take 10 mg of carboxyl magnetic beads (3 μm, JSR MS300) into a 2 ml centrifuge tube, add 1 ml of washing buffer (0.1 M MES, pH 5.0), vortex, place the centrifuge tube on a magnetic rack, and wait for the magnetic beads to be completely adsorbed onto the side wall. Use a pipette tip to remove the supernatant, and repeat the washing 3 times; add 1 ml of binding buffer (1 mg / ml EDC, 0.1 M MES, pH 5.0), invert and mix well at room temperature for 15 minutes; b) Antibody coating: Place the centrifuge tube on a magnetic rack and wait for the magnetic beads to be completely adsorbed onto the side wall. Remove the supernatant with a pipette tip, resuspend the magnetic beads with 1 ml of washing buffer, and add 0.1 mg of anti-human IgE antibody 1A2 (Absin ABS159965). Incubate at room temperature for 2 hours after inverting to mix. c) Blocking of magnetic beads: Add 20 μl of blocking agent (JSR CE510:CE210=9:1) to the centrifuge tube, invert and mix well at room temperature, and incubate for 1 hour; d) Cleaning: Place the centrifuge tube on a magnetic rack and wait for the magnetic beads to be completely adsorbed onto the sidewall. Remove the supernatant with a pipette tip. Resuspend the magnetic beads in 1 ml of TBST buffer (25 mM Tris-HCl, 140 mM NaCl; 3 mM KCl, 0.5‰ v / v Tween 20, pH 7.4). Repeat 3 times. Finally, use 10 ml of magnetic bead preservation solution (25 mM Tris-HCl, 140 mM NaCl; 3 mM KCl, 0.5‰ v / v Tween 20, 0.1% m / v BSA, 0.1% Proclin 300, pH 7.4).
[0115] (2) Acridinium ester-labeled anti-human IgE antibody 4C3 (Abixin ABS159966): (a) Take 100 μg of anti-human IgE antibody 4C3, add 5 μl of acridine ester (NSP-DMAE-NHS) with a concentration of 5 mg / ml, mix by inversion at room temperature in the dark for 30 minutes; (b) Blocking: Add 100 μl of blocking solution (10 mg / ml DL-lysine, 0.1 M carbonate buffer, pH 9.0), mix by inversion at room temperature in the dark for 30 minutes; (c) Desalting: Prepare G-25 one day in advance and swell it in excess deionized water. Take 10 ml (column bed volume) and pack it into the column. Equilibrate with 5 column bed volumes of 0.1 M PB buffer at pH 6.8. Load the labeled antibody (volume ≤ 1 ml) onto the column and collect the eluent, labeling it as tube 1. Elute with 1 ml PB buffer and collect the eluent, labeling it as tube 2. Repeat the elution with 1 ml PB buffer and collect the eluent until tube 6. Take a sample of the collected solution and measure the protein concentration using a BCA protein concentration assay kit. Use the tube with the highest concentration for subsequent experiments.
[0116] (d) Preparation of working solution for chemiluminescence detection antibody: The labeled antibody was prepared into a 1 μg / ml working solution using antibody dilution buffer (25 mM Tris-HCl, 140 mM NaCl; 3 mM KCl, 0.5‰ v / v Tween 20, 0.1% m / v BSA, 0.1% Proclin 300, pH 7.4) and stored at 4°C.
[0117] (3) Total IgE was detected by chemiluminescence immunoassay, and a standard curve for total IgE was prepared: Total IgE (WHO International Standard No.: 11 / 234) was diluted with diluent (PBS, 0.1% m / v BSA) to concentrations of 100, 50, 17.5, 3.5, 0.7, 0.35, and 0.1 IU / ml. The diluent served as a negative control. Abixin anti-human IgE antibody (1A2) magnetic beads and acridinium ester Abixin anti-human IgE antibody (4C3) were placed in a Shine i2910 fully automated chemiluminescence analyzer for sandwich chemiluminescence detection of the total IgE standard and the negative control (diluent). The reaction mode is as follows: Step 1: Take 10 μl of serially diluted international standard total IgE at different concentrations, add 20 μl of anti-human IgE antibody magnetic beads, mix and incubate at 37°C for 20 minutes; Step 2: Cleaning; Step 3: Take 100 μl of the working solution of acridine ester-labeled anti-human IgE antibody, mix well and incubate at 37°C for 20 minutes; Step 4: Cleaning; Step 5: Add 100 μl of pre-excitation solution and 100 μl of excitation solution, and detect the luminescence value. The results are shown in the table below. The standard curve for the 4PLC calibration algorithm is shown below. Figure 4 y = (a - d) / (1 + (x / c) b ) + d, where a=1328.20985079; b=1.01819807; c=109.94741586; d=5903283.07418, and the correlation coefficient of the main curve is 0.999778.
[0118]
[0119] 6.2 Constructing a standard curve for anti-Derp2 humanized IgE: Using the anti-Derp2 humanized IgE antibody already assigned in Example 5 as a standard and the diluent as a negative control, Derp2 magnetic beads (prepared in Example 1) and labeled acrid ester erbisimide anti-human IgE antibody (4C3) were placed in a Shine i2910 fully automated chemiluminescence analyzer for sandwich chemiluminescence detection. The reaction mode was basically the same as the reaction mode for the total IgE standard curve determination in 6.1 of Example 6, except that the international standard total IgE was replaced with the anti-Derp2 humanized IgE antibody already assigned in Example 5, and the anti-human IgE antibody magnetic beads were replaced with Derp2 magnetic beads. The luminescence values of the Derp2 specific IgE standard curve prepared using the Derp2 humanized IgE antibody standard are shown in the table below. 4. PLC calibration algorithm formula: y = (a - d) / (1 + (x / c))b ) + d, where a=1096.84522703; b=0.98210038; c=118.84175237; d=4470864.99119, and the correlation coefficient of the main curve is 0.999583.
[0120]
[0121] According to the standard curve Figure 5 The results show that the signal-to-noise ratio of the luminescence value of the 0.1 U / ml sample is 4757 / 1120=4.25, which is more than 4 times the signal-to-noise ratio. Therefore, the sensitivity of this reagent can reach 0.1 IU / ml.
[0122] 6.3 Purification of Der p2-specific IgE antibody from house dust mite-positive patient samples: (1) Purification of Der p2-specific IgE antibodies in serum samples a) Take 5 mg of Der p 2 magnetic beads prepared in Example 1 and mix with 10 ml of clinical house dust mite-specific IgE positive serum, invert and incubate at room temperature for 2 h to allow Der p 2-specific IgE in the sample to form a complex with Der p 2; wash 3 times with TBST. b) Elute with 2 ml of pH 3.0 0.1 M Glycin solution to remove Der p 2-specific IgE from the complex, and then neutralize with 200 μl of 1 M Tris-HCl (pH=8.0) buffer. c) Add 100 μl of antibody protection solution (PBS, 0.1% m / v BSA), dialyze three times using PBS ultrafiltration, and concentrate to 200 μl; (2) The concentration of purified Derp 2-specific IgE was detected using a total IgE detection kit (EUROIMMUN, catalog number: EV 3840-9601 E).
[0123] Detection results: The specific IgE concentration of Der p 2 was 19.2 IU / ml.
[0124] 6.4 The concentration of Derp2-specific IgE was determined using total IgE standard curves and anti-Derp2 humanized IgE standard curves, respectively. The Der p 2 specific IgE standard purified in step 6.3 at a concentration of 15.42 IU / ml was tested for luminescence using a kit consisting of Der p 2 magnetic beads and labeled acridinium ester Erbisin anti-human IgE antibody (4C3). The concentration of Der p 2 specific IgE, a component of the allergen protein, was calculated using the total IgE standard curve and the anti-Der p 2 humanized IgE antibody standard curve prepared in the examples. The results are shown in the table below:
[0125] The results showed that the value calculated using the anti-Derp2 humanized IgE antibody standard curve (18.67 IU / ml) was closer to the true concentration of the sample (19.2 IU / ml) than that calculated using the traditional method of measuring total IgE (13.51 IU / ml), making the result more accurate.
