Description

Antibody of mature brain-derived neurotrophic factor, application thereof and diagnostic kit

Technical Field

The invention relates to the technical field of antibodies, in particular to an antibody of a mature brain-derived neurotrophic factor, an application thereof and a diagnostic kit.

Background

As the most widely distributed neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in the central nervous system, the function and level of BDNF is closely associated with a variety of neurological disorders, such as alzheimer's disease (Allen et al, 2011). Sample studies on patients with Alzheimer's Disease (AD) and its early symptoms MCI have shown that the BDNF levels in the hippocampus, cortex, etc. brain regions of patients are reduced to different degrees compared to normal human samples (Peng et al, 2005). Since BDNF can partially cross the blood brain barrier, the level of BDNF in cerebrospinal fluid is highly correlated with its peripheral levels. In recent years there has been an increasing search for AD and peripheral BDNF levels. Meta analysis published in 2017 by Qin et al (Meta analysis) showed that AD patients had significantly lower peripheral blood BDNF levels compared to the normal group, and MCI patients also showed a trend towards decreased peripheral BDNF levels (Qin et al, 2017). This further demonstrates that a decrease in BDNF levels is closely associated with disease progression in AD. However, due to the difference of the processing modes of samples (such as serum and plasma), more importantly, two forms of precursor BDNF (ProBDNF) and mature BDNF (mBDNF) exist in BDNF, and antibodies with high specificity to the mBDNF are lacking at present.

In view of the above, the present invention is particularly proposed.

Disclosure of Invention

The invention aims to provide an antibody of a mature brain-derived neurotrophic factor, an application thereof and a diagnostic kit.

The invention is realized by the following steps:

in one aspect, the invention provides an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof to mature brain-derived neurotrophic factor, said antibody having a heavy chain complementarity determining region and a light chain complementarity determining region, wherein said heavy chain complementarity determining region comprises: a CDR1 of SEQ ID NO.1, a CDR2 of SEQ ID NO.2 and a CDR3 of SEQ ID NO.3, said light chain complementarity determining region comprising: CDR1 shown in SEQ ID NO.4, CDR2 shown in SEQ ID NO.5 and CDR3 shown in SEQ ID NO. 6.

The term "antibody" is also referred to as "immunoglobulin (Ig)" as used in the present invention, and is a general term for proteins involved in biological immunity by selectively acting on antigens. Intact antibodies found in nature are usually composed of two pairs of Light (LC) and Heavy (HC) chains, each of which is a polypeptide composed of several domains, or two HC/LC pairs as the basic unit. There are five types of heavy chains that make up mammalian antibodies, which are denoted by greek letters: α, δ, ε, γ, and μ, and the different types of heavy chains constitute different types of antibodies, respectively: IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG and IgM T. There are two types of light chains that constitute mammalian antibodies, which are denoted by λ and κ.

The heavy and light chains of antibodies are structurally divided into variable and constant regions according to the variability of the amino acid sequence. Depending on the type of antibody, the constant region of the heavy chain consists of three or four heavy chain constant regions, for example the CH1, CH2 and CH3(IgA, IgD and IgG antibodies) and CH4 regions (IgE and IgM antibodies), while the light chain consists of one constant region CL. The variable region of the heavy or light chain consists of a heavy chain variable domain (VH) or a light chain variable domain (VL), respectively. The light and heavy chains are linked by one covalent disulfide bond, with their variable and constant regions arranged in parallel, and the two heavy chain molecules (which are linked to the light chain) are interconnected by two covalent disulfide bonds, thereby forming the complete antibody. The entire antibody specifically binds to the antigen through the variable regions of the heavy and light chains. The whole antibody consists of two pairs of heavy and light chains (HC-LC), so that one whole antibody molecule has bivalent monospecificity, where one whole antibody molecule binds to two identical antigens via two variable regions.

The variable region containing the antigen-binding site of an antibody is divided into a framework region (FR, which has low sequence variability) and a Complementarity Determining Region (CDR), which is a hypervariable region having high sequence variability. In VH and VL, three CDRs and four FRs are arranged in the order FR1-CDR1-FR2-CDR2-FR3-CDR3-FR4 in the direction from N-terminus to C-terminus. The CDRs with the highest sequence variability in the variable region of an antibody are the sites of direct binding to antigen and are critical in the antigen specificity of an antibody.

The antibody provided by the invention has the heavy chain complementary determining region and the light chain complementary determining region of the amino acid sequence, and can specifically recognize mature brain-derived neurotrophic factor through the complementary determining region, can be used for detecting the mature brain-derived neurotrophic factor, and has higher specificity and sensitivity; it can also be used for diagnosing nervous diseases with mature brain-derived neurotrophic factor as marker.

Alternatively, in some embodiments of the invention, the amino acid sequence of the heavy chain variable region of the antibody is as set forth in SEQ ID No. 7.

Alternatively, in some embodiments of the invention, the amino acid sequence of the variable region of the light chain of the antibody is as shown in SEQ ID No. 8.

Alternatively, in some embodiments of the invention, the antigen binding fragment is selected from any one of Fab, Fab ', F (ab')2, scFv and Fv of the antibody.

Alternatively, in some embodiments of the invention, the constant region of the antibody may be of any mammalian origin, e.g., mouse, etc.

A Fab fragment is an antigen-binding fragment of an antibody and it consists of one variable region and one constant region of each of the heavy and light chains. F (ab ')2 is a fragment produced by pepsin hydrolysis of an antibody, and F (ab')2 has a form in which two Fab fragments are linked by a disulfide bond at the heavy chain hinge region. F (ab ') is a monomeric antibody fragment in which the heavy chain hinge is added to a Fab which has been isolated by reduction of the disulfide bond of the F (ab')2 fragment. Fv (variable fragment) is an antibody fragment consisting of only the variable domains of the heavy and light chains. scFv (single chain variable fragment) is a recombinant antibody fragment in which the heavy chain variable region (VH) and the light chain variable region (VL) are linked to each other by a flexible peptide linker.

The antigen-binding fragment of the present invention is not limited in its structure or form as long as it retains the binding specificity to the mature brain-derived neurotrophic factor.

In another aspect, the present invention provides a use of the antibody or the antigen-binding fragment thereof according to any one of the above aspects in the preparation of a diagnostic kit for a disease associated with a mature brain-derived neurotrophic factor as a marker.

Alternatively, in some embodiments of the invention, the related disease is a neurological disease or a metabolic disease or a reproductive disease.

As long as diseases diagnosed by using mature brain-derived neurotrophic factor as a marker belong to related diseases of the invention, the antibody provided by the invention can be applied to detection and diagnosis of the diseases.

In another aspect, the present invention provides a diagnostic kit for a disease comprising the antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof according to any one of the above.

Alternatively, in some embodiments of the invention, the disease is a neurological disease or a metabolic disease or a reproductive disease.

In another aspect, the present invention provides a kit for detecting a mature brain-derived neurotrophic factor, said kit comprising an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof as described in any of the above.

The above-described kit of the present invention may be, for example, an ELISA kit for detecting or quantitatively analyzing a target substance using an antibody bound to an enzyme, and the ELISA kit is generally prepared in the form of a sandwich EILSA to reduce nonspecific reactions and improve antigen sensitivity and binding specificity. Sandwich ELISA uses two types of antibodies that specifically bind to a target substance to detect the target substance. A primary antibody (capture antibody) is attached to the surface of the reaction vessel, and a secondary antibody (detection antibody) linked to an enzyme for color reaction is contained in the reaction solution. First, a sample is added to a reaction vessel to which a primary antibody is fixed, and is incubated to allow a target substance to bind to the primary antibody, and then is again incubated with a secondary antibody, thereby forming a sandwich-type complex of antibody (capture) -target substance-antibody (detection). Finally, a substrate for the enzyme linked to the secondary antibody is added to the reaction vessel to perform a color reaction of the enzyme, and the color development level is measured to investigate the presence or absence and concentration of the target substance contained in the sample. As the concentration of the target substance in the sample becomes higher, more complexes of antibody (capture) -target substance-antibody (detection) are formed, and more secondary antibody capable of undergoing a color-developing reaction is present in the reaction vessel. Therefore, the degree of color development and the concentration of the target substance have a positive correlation. In order to investigate the concentration of the target substance, ELISA reactions were performed using different concentrations of the target substance to generate a standard curve for color development according to the concentrations, and the concentration of the standard substance in the sample was derived by matching the color development level measured by the ELISA reaction of the sample with the standard curve.

the above mBDNF protein is used as an antigen for immunization and an antigen for screening. The immune animal selects female Balb/c mice with 6-8 weeks of age, injects antigen, and adopts special adjuvant to quickly immunize for about two weeks. After immunization of animals, antibody titers were measured, and when the antibody titers were sufficiently high, the animals were anesthetized with isoflurane and sacrificed, lymph nodes were removed, digested, and fused with myeloma. Culturing sp2/0 myeloma cells by using DMEM, and fusing the cells with lymphocytes by polyethylene glycol when the cells are in good state and the living cell rate is more than eighty percent. Then, HAT screening medium was used for culture, during which the medium was changed twice. In HAT medium, primary myeloma cells lack hypoxanthine-guanine-phosphoribosyl transferase, cannot synthesize DNA using salvage pathways, and eventually die, and only fused hybridoma cells survive and proliferate in HAT medium. After the hybridoma cells were proliferated in HAT medium, preliminary screening for antibody affinity and activity was performed by ELISA and NFAT.
