A kind of anti-CD26 antibody and preparation method thereof
Technical field
The invention belongs to genetic engineering antibody technical field, especially relate to a kind of new can with high-affinity human antibody, preparation method and the application thereof of CD26 specific binding.
Background technology
CD26 is a kind of ubiquitous multi-functional II type transmembrane glycoprotein, has various biological function, also can be present in blood plasma with solubilized form.CD26 often exists with homodimer form, and monomer whose is containing 766 amino acid, the about 110kDa of relative molecular mass.Amino-acid residue is from inside to outside divided into 5 parts: intracellular region (1~6), cross-film district (7~28), high glycosylation district (29~323), be rich in halfcystine district (324~551) and C end catalyst structure domain (552~766), CD26 molecule three-dimensional structure and function are closely related.C end catalyst structure domain performance DPP IV (the Dipeptidyl peptidase4 of CD26, DPPIV) activity, can be hydrolyzed multiple substrate performance biological action in body, being rich in halfcystine district can interact with different kinds of molecules in body, thereby participates in immunologic function in body.The effect of CD26 in immunomodulatory is widely studied, CD26 is the molecular marker of T cell activation, also in T cell signalling process as costimulatory molecules, also relate to multiple T cell function, comprise that ripe and migration occurs T cell, cytokine secretion, the antibody that T cell relies on produces, B cell immunoglobulin transition etc.CD26 plays a significant role in the generation evolution of autoimmune disorder, has become the molecular marker of clinical disease, and is considered to treatment or the diagnosis target spot of some immunological disease.(Ohnuma?et?al.(2011)Adv?Clin?Chem,53,51-84)
CD26, owing to interacting with multiple protein, as ADA, CD45, FAP-alpha etc., can also cause expressing increase or the reduction of CD26 cellular infiltration activity in conjunction with ECM, and visible CD26 plays a significant role at oncobiology.The expression amount of CD26 can raise in multiple newborn oncocyte surface or serum, and for example, CD26 high expression level is in some offensive T cell malignancies, malignant mesothe, nephroncus, some colorectal carcinoma (Havre et al. (2008) Front Biosci, 13,1634-1645).Some CD26+ colon cancer cell subgroup, CD26+ malignant mesothe cell has obvious tumor stem cell feature (Ghani et al. (2011) Biochem Biophys Res Commun, 404,735-742and Pang et al. (2010) Cell Stem Cell, 6,603-615), thus CD26 can be used as the molecular marker of kinds of tumors.
The mouse source antibody report of existing multiple combination CD26 (Havre et al. (2008) Front Biosci, 13,1634-1645), in some CD26 high expression level cancer for the treatment of, and suppress cell migration, vascularization aspect can play a role.There are the mouse monoclonal antibody 1F7 of the anti-CD26 of bibliographical information and the combination of CD26 to cause cell cycle arrest to limit a little at G1/S, and the combination of CD26 induces CD26Jurkat transfectant to be stuck in G1 by strengthening express cell cycle regulating protein matter p21, with 1F7 Antybody therapy, can suppress the formation of CD26+ tumour, and in mouse model, strengthen survival rate.Mouse monoclonal antibody E19 and the E26 of other anti-CD26, these antibody show restraining effect that the cell migration that is suppressed to fibrocyte and Traumatic cell forms individual layer, to angiopoietic inhibition and to the intrusion of human skin capillary endothelium and kapillary, formation newly has inhibition.As can be seen here, anti-CD26 monoclonal antibody can play a role by changing the activity of CD26 in treatment various diseases.But mouse monoclonal antibody can produce human antimouse antibody reaction (Human Anti-Mouse Antibody, HAMA) when directly applying to human body therapy, people knows from experience the antibody that produces anti-mouse antibodies, not only can weaken curative effect, also can cause acute sensitivity response.In order to overcome the shortcoming of mouse source monoclonal antibody, genetic engineering antibody technical development has gone out people-mouse chimeric antibody, chimeric antibody is mosaic gene by the V district gene of mouse antibody and the C district gene splicing of people's antibody, make mouse composition reduce by 70% left and right, and humanized antibody, on the basis of chimeric antibody, further the skeleton district (FR) of employment antibody variable region substitutes mouse FR, has greatly reduced the mouse derived components of antibody.But the sequence of residual a small amount of murine antibody is potential initiation HAMA likely still.
