[0031] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the constant region of the antibody or antigen-binding fragment is derived from IgG1.

[0032] It should be noted that the amino acid sequence of the constant region of the antibody or antigen-binding fragment is highly conserved among different types of antibodies. This part is mainly responsible for the structural stability of the antibody and its interaction with other immune system components (such as complement activation, Fc receptor binding, etc.). Due to its high conservation, it is not listed in detail in this application specification.

[0033] It should be noted that the sequence information such as the heavy chain variable region sequence and the light chain variable region sequence in the embodiments of the present invention are shown from the N end to the C end.

Thus, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment can act against a variety of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and has broad applicability.

[0035] It should be noted that the antibody or antigen-binding fragment exerts its effect on Mycobacterium tuberculosis mainly in the following aspects: (1) Enhancing immune recognition and clearance: The antibody or antigen-binding fragment can specifically recognize and bind to the conserved epitopes of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, thereby significantly enhancing the host's immune system's ability to recognize pathogens, and then promoting the phagocytosis and clearance of pathogens by activating immune cells (such as macrophages and T cells), thereby reducing the survival and reproduction of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in the host; (2) Neutralizing the pathogenicity: The antibody or antigen-binding fragment can bind to key surface proteins or structures of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, thereby neutralizing its pathogenicity. This binding can prevent (2) Pathogens adhere to and invade host cells, reducing inflammatory response and tissue damage, thereby alleviating the pathological changes caused by HIV and tuberculosis; (3) Regulate immune response: The antibody or antigen-binding fragment can regulate the host's immune response, making it more precise and efficient, thereby forming a coordinated immune response network to better cope with the combined infection of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 and Mycobacterium tuberculosis; (4) Reduce the risk of drug resistance: Since the antibody or antigen-binding fragment is a conserved structure that directly targets the pathogen, its mechanism of action is different from that of traditional antibiotics. Therefore, it is not easily affected by the drug resistance mutation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which provides a new strategy for the treatment of drug-resistant tuberculosis and reduces the generation of drug-resistant strains.

[0036] According to embodiments of the present invention, the diseases caused by the Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection include one or more of pulmonary tuberculosis, extrapulmonary tuberculosis, drug-resistant tuberculosis, and latent tuberculosis infection. Therefore, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment can act against a variety of diseases caused by multiple Mycobacterium tuberculosis infections, and has broad applicability.

All diseases caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection, such as tuberculous meningitis, tuberculous pleurisy, tuberculous peritonitis, tuberculous pericarditis, tuberculous arthritis, etc., regardless of their specific manifestations, are within the scope of protection of this invention as long as they can be prevented, alleviated, used as adjunctive therapy, or treated by the antibodies or antigen-binding fragments of this invention.

[0038] According to embodiments of the present invention, the drug is used to prevent, inhibit, or slow down the growth, proliferation, or colonization of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Thus, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment can effectively reduce the survival rate and reproductive capacity of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in the host by enhancing the phagocytic and killing ability of macrophages against Mycobacterium tuberculosis, thereby achieving the prevention, inhibition, or slowing down of the growth, proliferation, or colonization of Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

[0039] For example, the tuberculosis mycobacteria include human tuberculosis mycobacterium (Mycobacterium tuberculosis) Mycobacterium tuberculosis ), Bovine tuberculosis mycobacterium ( Mycobacterium bovis African tuberculosis mycobacterium ( Mycobacterium africanum ) and Mycobacterium tuberculosis of caprines ( Mycobacterium capra One or more of the following.

[0040] It is important to note that all antibodies or antigen-binding fragments, when responding to Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection (or preventing, inhibiting, or slowing the growth, proliferation, or colonization of Mycobacterium tuberculosis), are not limited to the Mycobacterium tuberculosis types specifically listed above, but also include Mycobacterium Kansas (…). Mycobacterium kansasii ), Mycobacterium marinum ( Mycobacterium marine ), Mycobacterium surariformis ( Mycobacterium szulgai ), Mycobacterium Gordonii ( Mycobacterium Gordon's ), Mycobacterium tumefaciens ( Mycobacterium fortuitum ), Mycobacterium tectorum ( Mycobacterium turtles All mycobacterial bacteria that can cause tuberculosis or tuberculosis-like symptoms are within the scope of protection of this invention.
