Description

Method for rapidly determining biological activity of IL-2 protein drug and anti-CD 25 antibody drug
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of biological activity detection of biological medicines, and particularly relates to a method for rapidly determining biological activities of an IL-2 protein medicine and an anti-CD 25 antibody medicine.
Background

In 2018, the sales of monoclonal antibody drugs accounts for 55.3% of the biological drug market in the world. In addition, among the first twenty medicines sold worldwide in 2019, the single-resistant medicines in 13 biological medicines occupy 9 seats, and the single-resistant medicines are one of the most important subdivision fields of the global pharmacy at present and also become an important part of the global medicine market.
In the face of the rapid development of antibody drugs, a corresponding antibody drug quality evaluation technical system is urgently needed to be established, and the determination of the biological activity on the cell level is one of the most effective modes for determining the effective components and content of the drugs and the drug potency and is also an important quality control index for ensuring the effectiveness of the antibody drugs, so that the method plays an important role in the discovery and development of the antibody drugs. At present, cell-based biological activity measurement methods are mostly adopted in biological activity detection methods, and mainly comprise a cell proliferation inhibition method, a cytotoxicity method, an antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity method, a complement-dependent cytotoxicity method and a cell competition ELISA method.
Interleukin 2(IL-2) is a 15.5kD glycoprotein produced by T cells and NK cells, predominantly by CD4+T cell production, other immune cells such as CD8+T cells, NK cells can also produce small amounts of IL-2. IL-2 was discovered in 1976 to be able to sustain long-term growth of T cells in vitro and was therefore designated as T cell growth factor, which was uniformly designated as IL-2 by the second International lymphokine conference in 1979. IL-2 exerts its physiological effects through the interleukin-2 receptor (IL-2R), which is a diverse group of complexes classified by their affinity for IL-2 into low, medium, and high affinity receptors, each of which is composed of one or more of the three subunits, IL-2R α (CD25), IL-2R β (CD122), and IL-2R γ (CD 132). At present, the traditional Chinese medicine composition is widely used for treating tumors, viral hepatitis and the like clinically, and has a remarkable curative effect.
At present, CTLL-2 is adopted in Chinese pharmacopoeia to detect the biological activity of IL-2 protein drugs, the cells are suspension cells, and the cells can be used for analysis about 3 weeks after recovery. In addition, 10% CTLL-2 cell supernatant needs to be added into a complete culture medium during cell recovery, and the supernatant needs to be reserved for standby in the ordinary culture process. The cell culture solution is RPMI1640+ 10% FBS + 1% streptomycin +100IU/mL IL-2, and the cycle of the method is about 3-4 daysThe cells were washed 3 more times before plating on the first day, and the samples were loaded at 37 ℃ with 5% CO after plating2Culturing for 18-24 hours under the condition. Adding MTT solution for 4-6 h, adding lysis solution, and continuing to add 5% CO at 37 deg.C2Culturing for 18-24 hours under the condition, and performing aseptic operation in the whole process. And (4) mixing the cell sap uniformly, reading by using an enzyme-labeling instrument, and recording a measurement result. The method has the defects of long detection period, complex operation and the like.
The anti-CD 25 monoclonal antibody is used as a representative of a novel immunosuppressant, specifically acts on CD25, can effectively reduce the incidence rate of acute rejection by blocking the activation and proliferation of T cells, remarkably improves the survival rate of transplants and transplant recipients, reduces the dosage of hormone and shortens the using time of the hormone. At present, methods adopted for detecting the biological activity of basiliximab, dallizumab and related biological similar drugs include a competitive ELISA method and a flow cytometry method, wherein when the competitive ELISA method is used for detecting the biological activity of an anti-CD 25 monoclonal antibody, a downstream signal path cannot be reflected, and the applicability of a stability indication for release test cannot be evaluated; when the flow cytometry method is used for detecting the biological activity of the anti-CD 25 monoclonal antibody, related equipment and a large amount of consumables are needed, and the economic burden is increased for enterprises.
Currently, there remains a need in the art for novel assays for determining the biological activity of IL-2 protein drugs and anti-CD 25 monoclonal antibody drugs. In view of the above, the invention provides a method for evaluating biological activity according to chemiluminescence signal values of downstream cell signaling pathways, and IL-2 protein drugs and anti-CD 25 monoclonal antibody drugs are detected, so that an activity result can be obtained in the same day, the period is short, the operation is simple and convenient, the cost is low, no cells or other components from any human primary tissues are needed, and the color development is stable. On one hand, objective factors such as the possibility of cell contamination caused by long-time incubation are avoided, and on the other hand, the related indication of the drug to the cell signal downstream can be evaluated.

Luciferase (Luciferase) is a generic term for a class of enzymes that are derived from organisms capable of emitting light in nature and that catalyze the oxidative emission of Luciferin (Luciferase) or fatty aldehydes in the organism. Luciferases can be classified into Firefly Luciferase (FL) and Bacterial Luciferase (BL) depending on the species of the organism from which they are derived. Currently, the luciferase gene derived from firefly in North America is most widely used, and the gene can code for a luciferase protein producing 550 amino acids. FL gene is from firefly, in Mg2+、ATP、O2In the presence of (2), the D-luciferin (D-luciferin) is catalyzed to be subjected to oxidative decarboxylation to generate the activated oxyluciferin, and photons are released to generate fluorescence of 550-580 nm.
Luciferase reporter gene detection is an important tool for analyzing the interaction relationship between potential cis-elements (such as promoters, enhancers, silencers and the like) and trans-acting factors in the flanking region of a structural gene in the field of modern molecular biology research. The luciferase reporter gene system is a reporter system for detecting the activity of firefly luciferase (firefly luciferase) by using Luciferin (luciferase) as a substrate.
