Abstract
Description
Divisional application for the parent patent (2024118072188) Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of biomedical technology, specifically to monoclonal antibodies for detecting A35R protein and their applications. Background Technology
[0002] Monkeypox virus (MPXV) is an orthopoxvirus belonging to the large double-stranded DNA virus family of the Poxviridae family. It is closely related to smallpox virus, which has been eradicated worldwide, and has replaced smallpox virus as the most serious disease caused by orthopoxvirus (Thornhill JP, Barkati S, Walmsley S, et al. Monkeypox Virus Infectionin Humans across 16 Countries - April-June 2022 [J]. N Engl J Med, 2022, 387(8): 679-691.). MPXV mainly infects the body in two forms: extracellular enveloped virus (EEV) and intracellular mature virus (IMV) (Rothenburg S, Yang Z, Beard P, et al. Monkeypox emergency: Urgent questions and perspectives [J]. Cell, 2022, 185(18): 3279-3281.). A35R is an envelope component of intracellular enveloped viral particles (IEVs) and extracellular enveloped viral particles (EEVs), and is homologous to the vaccinia virus protein A33R. It plays a crucial role in the intercellular transfer of viral particles.
[0003] Since the first case of monkeypox virus infection was reported in 1970, more than 30,000 cases have been reported in West and Central African countries. In July 2022, the Director-General of the World Health Organization declared the monkeypox outbreak a Public Health Emergency of International Concern. Since June 2023, cases of infection have also appeared in various parts of my country. Currently, the most effective method for preventing monkeypox virus infection is vaccination. Diagnostic methods include nucleic acid amplification detection, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), Western blotting, immunohistochemistry, and virus isolation and culture, but each has its own advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, it is necessary to develop neutralizing antibodies against one or more epitopes of the monkeypox virus to achieve good neutralization and provide a reserve of clinical diagnostic and preventive measures.

[0018] Experimental materials 1. Key drugs and reagents are shown in Table 1 below. All other reagents are domestically produced analytical grade. 2. Main Instruments Example 1: Preparation and purification of monkeypox virus monoclonal antibody 1. Expression and purification of monkeypox virus A35R protein (1) The MPXV A35R protein gene sequence was modified by adding a His tag sequence to the C-terminus and then constructing it into the eukaryotic expression vector PTT5 to prepare a recombinant expression plasmid.
[0019] (2) Expression of A35R protein: The transfection reagent PEI was added to the recombinant expression plasmid and slowly mixed to obtain a complex. The complex was incubated at room temperature for 15 minutes and then transfected into Expi293 cells to obtain recombinant cells expressing A35R-MPXV protein.
[0020] (3) The recombinant cells were cultured in a 5% CO2 incubator at 37°C for 5 days at 120 rpm. Then, the supernatant was obtained by centrifugation for 30 min at 4°C and 3000 rpm. Subsequently, the target protein A35R-MPXV was obtained by affinity chromatography using a Ni-NTA column.
[0021] (4) Repeat steps (1), (2), and (3) above to prepare vaccinia virus protein A35R-CPXV, smallpox virus protein A35R-Variola, and vaccinia virus Tian Tan strain protein A35R-VTT8. The results are as follows: Figure 1 As shown.
[0022] 2. Obtaining Antibodies 2.1 Mouse Immunization and Antiserum Detection Mice were repeatedly immunized with A35R-MPXV antigen protein, and serum titer was tested after immunization. The specific experimental steps are as follows: (1) Five 6-week-old SPF-grade female BalB / C mice (purchased from Zhejiang Vital River Laboratory Animal Technology Co., Ltd.) weighing 25±2 g were selected as immunization animals. The mice were marked and numbered sequentially as left anterior, right anterior, left posterior, right posterior, and none. 30-50 μl of blood was collected from the tail vein of each of the five mice. After coagulation, the pre-immunization serum was collected by centrifugation.
[0023] (2) First immunization: Calculate the volume of A35R protein required based on an immunization dose of 100 μg / mouse. After emulsifying the A35R protein with an equal volume of Freund's complete adjuvant, inject it subcutaneously into multiple points in mice. (3) Second immunization: Two weeks after the first immunization, the volume of A35R protein required was calculated based on an immunization dose of 50 μg / mouse. The A35R protein was emulsified with an equal volume of Freund's incomplete adjuvant and then injected subcutaneously into mice at multiple points. (4) Third immunization: One week after the second immunization, calculate the required volume of A35R protein based on an immunization dose of 50 μg / animal, emulsify the antigen with an equal volume of Freund's incomplete adjuvant, and inject it subcutaneously at multiple points; (5) ELISA detection: One week after the third immunization, 30-50 μl of blood was collected from the tail vein of 5 mice. After coagulation, the serum was collected by centrifugation after three immunizations. The antigen (i.e., A35R protein) was diluted to a final concentration of 1 μg / ml with antigen coating buffer (i.e., carbonate buffer with pH 7.4). 100 μl was coated onto the ELISA plate and incubated overnight (12-16 h) at 4°C. After blocking with 0.1% casein blocking buffer at room temperature for 1 h, the plate was washed. The mouse serum was diluted at dilutions of 1:2000, 1:4000, 1:8000, 1:16000, 1:32000, 1:64000, and 1:128000. Antibody dilution buffer (1×PBS, 0.5% BSA) was used as a negative control. The serum titer was detected by ELISA and the OD was measured by an ELISA reader. 450 Readings. The results are shown in Table 1: Table 1 Table 1 shows that the serum titers of mice were qualified after three immunizations, and unlabeled mice were fused.
[0024] 2.2 Preparation and Screening of Hybridoma Cells (1) One week before fusion, mouse SP2 / 0 myeloma cells were cultured and the cell state was adjusted to the logarithmic growth phase. The mice with the highest ELISA titer in Table 1, i.e. unmarked mice, were selected. Three days before fusion, mice were boosted with A35R-MPXV recombinant protein, 50 μg / mouse, by intraperitoneal injection. (2) Fusion: The mice were sacrificed and the spleens were removed under sterile conditions. The spleen cells were mechanically crushed and collected. Larger impurities were removed by 200 mesh sieve. The cells were washed three times with PBS buffer and counted to obtain the mouse spleen cells to be fused. SP2 / 0 myeloma cells in the logarithmic growth phase were collected and washed three times with PBS and counted. After cell counting, SP2 / 0 myeloma cells and mouse spleen cells to be fused were gently mixed at a ratio of 1:2.5. After centrifugation, the PBS was discarded. Cell fusion was performed using an electrofusion instrument to obtain fused cells. After centrifugation, complete culture medium containing HAT was added, the fused cells were resuspended and mixed, and then plated in 96-well plates. (3) Change the medium: Perform a complete change of the medium 5 days after fusion; (4) ELISA detection: Coated with the detection agent (A35R-MPXV), the cell culture supernatant was aspirated 7 days after fusion for ELISA detection, and the positive cell wells were recorded (judgment criteria: three times the number of negative results), marked and the medium was changed halfway; (5) ELISA retesting and screening: The next day, the positive cell wells after changing the medium were retested and the coating screening agents (A35R-MPXV, A35R-CPXV, A35R-Variola, A35R-VTT8) were screened. The required clone number was recorded and subcloning was performed.
[0025] 2.3 Establishment of stable cell lines (1) First subcloning: Subcloning was performed in the positive cell wells of the above ELISA retest. The cells were limitedly diluted with complete culture medium and plated in 96-well plates at a rate of 1 cell / well. After 7 days, the cells were observed under a microscope. Wells with clonal growth were marked and registered. The registered clones were tested by ELISA. The clones that turned negative were discarded. The positive clones with vigorous growth were selected and the medium was changed once. The cells were retested and screened the next day. (2) Secondary subcloning: The positive single clone wells selected in the previous step are screened for secondary subcloning. The cells are limitedly diluted using complete culture medium and plated in 96-well plates at a rate of 1 cell / well. After 7 days, the cells are observed under a microscope. Wells with clonal growth are detected, single clone wells are marked and registered, and ELISA is performed on the registered clones.
