Description

anti-HE 4 nano antibody 1A8 and application thereof

Technical Field

The invention discloses a nano antibody, belonging to the field of immunology.

Background

Ovarian epithelial Cancer (EOC) is a common malignancy of female reproductive organs, with the third-place incidence among women's malignancies, but the first-place mortality due to most of its findings being late, poor prognosis, and high recurrence rate. Human epididymis protein (HE4) is a novel ovarian cancer specific tumor marker, belongs to whey acidic protein family (WAP), and is a secreted small-molecule glycoprotein encoded by WFDC2 gene. The molecular weight is about 13kDa, the mature polypeptide exists in a glycosylation form of 25kDa, the polypeptide is mainly over-expressed in ovarian epithelial cancer and endometrial cancer, the sensitivity of predicting the ovarian cancer by serum level is obviously higher than CA125, and particularly, the detection critical value can reach 150pmol/L in early stage. Lurenquan et al (HE4 clinical application evaluation in ovarian cancer diagnosis and treatment, China cancer journal, 20 vol 2010, 9 th) found that the sensitivity of HE4 to EOC diagnosis was 72.4%, the specificity was 90.1%, the accuracy was 83.6%, and the positive and negative compliance rates were 80.8% and 85.0%, respectively, in the early year study of EOC patients, and it was found that HE4 can completely satisfy the requirements of EOC auxiliary diagnosis. Zhu Zheng Ning et al (HE4 combined with CA125 in the application value of early diagnosis of ovarian cancer, modern tumor medicine, 2014 22 vol 3) relatively studies the difference between HE4 and CA125 in the early diagnosis of ovarian cancer. The results show that HE4 levels were significantly higher in the early ovarian cancer group than in the healthy control group and the benign tumor group, with statistical significance (P < 0.05), whereas CA125 levels were not significantly different in the early ovarian cancer group and the benign tumor group, whereas Moore et al (Moore RG et al, Serum HE4 levels of the present invention free of modified human CA125 in women with benign gynecomogical disorders, American Journal of obstertrics & gynecomogy, vol 4 of 2012) have also reported HE4 as the best indicator for identifying ovarian cancer and benign tumors. In addition, the sensitivity and specificity of HE4 in the research of Zhuganning and the like (HE4 combined with the application value of CA125 in the early diagnosis of ovarian cancer, modern tumor medicine, 22 vol.3 in 2014) are 85% and 96% respectively, while the sensitivity and specificity of CA125 are only 65% and 76% respectively, so that the superiority of the HE4 index can be seen. HE4 has great potential in early diagnosis of ovarian cancer and also has important value in the aspects of prognosis evaluation and curative effect monitoring. HE4 was approved by the FDA in 2008 for efficacy assessment and recurrence monitoring in EOC patients. Numerous studies have also demonstrated the performance advantages of HE4 in this regard. Serum HE4 levels were successfully used by researchers for efficacy prediction in ovarian cancer patients, and by binding CA72-4 and CA125, they could be used for recurrence monitoring in follow-up ovarian cancer. In conjunction with MDCT, HE4 can also be used to track lymph node metastasis status in patients with advanced ovarian cancer.

Sensitive detection of cancer biomarkers has attracted considerable research interest over the last decades because it plays an important role in the early diagnosis and prognosis of cancer therapy. Immunoassay is widely applied to sensitive detection of cancer biomarkers due to advantages of specificity and stability. In particular, immunoassay methods based on antigen-antibody interactions are reliable tools for detecting tumor markers and are used for basic research and clinical assays. In a research concerted effort by many research groups, various types of immunoassay methods have been developed: comprises an electrophoresis immunoassay method, an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method, a chemiluminescence immunoassay method, a fluorescence immunoassay method, a colorimetric immunoassay method, a mass spectrum immunoassay method and a surface Raman enhanced spectrum immunoassay method. The sensitivity and accuracy of the chemiluminescence immunoassay method are higher than those of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and a fluorescence method by several orders of magnitude, and the chemiluminescence immunoassay method has the advantages of stability, rapidness, wide detection range, simplicity in operation, high automation degree and the like, and can be used for detecting and analyzing various antigens, haptens, antibodies, hormones, enzymes, fatty acids, vitamins, medicines and other related substances.

Based on the outstanding characteristics of HE4 in clinical diagnosis, it is important to develop specific binding antibodies against HE 4.

In 1993, Hamers-Casterman et al found that a class of heavy chain-only dimers (H) was found in camelids (camels, dromedary and llamas) in vivo₂) Antibodies of the type IgG2 and IgG3, which are predominantly of the IgG2 and IgG3, are also referred to as single domain antibodies or single domain antibodies (sdabs) because they lack a light chain and are thus referred to as Heavy chain-only antibodies (HCAbs), whereas their antigen binding site consists of one domain, referred to as a VHH region. Since this class of antibodies is a variable region sequence after removal of the constant region, the molecular weight is only 15kDa, about 10 nm in diameter, and is therefore also referred to as nanobodies (Nbs). In addition, such single domain antibodies, called VNARs, are also observed in sharks. This heavy chain-only antibody was originally recognized only as a pathological form of a human B-cell proliferative disease (heavy chain disease). This heavy chain-only antibody may be due to genomic level mutations and deletions that result in the inability of the heavy chain CH1 domain to be expressed, such that the expressed heavy chain lacks CH1 and thus lacks the ability to bind to the light chain, thus forming a heavy chain dimer.

Nanobodies are comparable in affinity to their corresponding scFv, but surpass scfvs in solubility, stability, resistance to aggregation, refolding, expression yield, and ease of DNA manipulation, library construction, and 3-D structure determination, relative to scfvs of conventional four-chain antibodies.

Nanobodies have minimal functional antigen-binding fragments derived from HCabs in adult camelids, have high stability and high avidity for antigen binding, and can interact with protein clefts and enzymatic active sites, making their action similar to inhibitors. Therefore, the nano-antibody can provide a new idea for designing small molecule enzyme inhibitors from peptide-mimetic drugs. Due to the heavy chain only, nanobodies are easier to manufacture than monoclonal antibodies. The unique properties of nanobodies, such as stability in extreme temperature and pH environments, allow for large yields to be produced at low cost. Therefore, the nano antibody has great value and development prospect in the treatment and diagnosis of diseases.

Given the small molecular weight of HE4, it is difficult for conventional antibodies to bind to sufficiently recognize some epitopes hidden in the cleft or cavity, and if the epitopes recognized by the antibodies are too single or the sites are too close or overlapped, the specific antigen-antibody binding reaction is affected, thereby seriously affecting the detection efficiency. Therefore, the research and development of the nanometer antibody for resisting HE4, and the full play of the super strong antigen recognition capability of the nanometer antibody becomes a new requirement in the technical field of antibodies. The invention aims to provide a nano antibody against HE4, which can fully exert the excellent performance of the nano antibody and overcome the inherent defects of the nano antibody, namely the antibody has high specific antigen recognition capability, high affinity, unique epitope recognition sites and excellent detection efficiency in the immunoassay of the HE4 antigen, particularly in a double-antibody sandwich method.

The experimental results are shown in table 2, and the three strains of nano-antibodies 1A8, 1G8 and 3C8 are respectively directed at different epitopes of the HE4 antigen, which indicates that the probability of forming a detection antibody pair by the three strains of nano-antibodies is greatly increased in the detection application of HE4, so that the detection efficiency can be increased.

Example 5 analysis of Nanobody binding sites Using Biacore

The principal principle of the Biacore system is that SPR (refractive index) shifts by changes in the concentration of surface molecules, which appear on the monitor as changes in RU. Due to the higher sensitivity of the system, we designed a correlation experiment to verify ELISA stackingAnd (5) experimental results. As shown in fig. 8, first repeating 2 needles of the first nanobody a, observing changes in RU values to confirm saturation of the corresponding antigen binding site and recording; then, a second nanobody B was entered, and RU values were observed and recorded: if the RU value is not more than 20% different from that of the single nano antibody B, the two can be considered to recognize different antigenic determinants; if the difference is more than 20% but less than 60%, the two are considered to have steric hindrance; if the difference value exceeds 60%, the two are judged to recognize the same antigen. The specific operation is that firstly, the increased value R of RU is recorded by the antibody B which is injected only_B1And regenerating the chip; antibody A was then repeated twice and RU increase value R was recorded_AAnd after confirming saturation, directly injecting an antibody B, and observing the increase R of RU value_B2(ii) a Then using the formula (R)_B2-R_A)/R_B1The steric hindrance is calculated to determine whether both recognize the same epitope. The results of this example are shown in Table 3. It can be seen that the 1A8 nanobody and the 1G8 and 3C8 nanobodies both recognize different antigenic sites, and the result is consistent with the result presumed by the ELISA overlapping experiment.

Example 5.1 use of A8-HAP to detect HE4 levels in Standard serum

The amino acid sequence of the binding site sequence of human alkaline phosphatase as the chemical light emitting region is shown as SEQ ID NO. 7. The flexible polypeptide is fused with the 1A8 nano antibody to form the nano antibody 1A8-HAP with a chemical light-emitting region sequence, and the amino acid sequence of the nano antibody is shown as SEQ ID NO. 8. Two restriction sites HindIII and EcoRI are added at the two ends of the nucleic acid coding sequence, and are connected to the vector pCDNA3.1 (+). After endotoxin-free large-scale plasmid extraction, 293 cells in logarithmic growth were used for transfection. After culturing the transfected cells for 36 hours, the cell culture fluid was poured into a 50ml centrifuge tube, centrifuged at 12000g for 5 minutes, and the supernatant was collected, filtered through a 0.22 μm filter and purified by anion exchange chromatography. The affinity test of 1A8-HAP was carried out in the same manner as in example 3, and the affinity value of 1A8-HAP was 1.578E-9. The results of the screening and matching are shown in Table 4. The FC fusion nano antibody 3C8 is selected as a capture primary antibody (the fusion method is shown in example 5 in CN 106749667A), the variable region sequence of the FC fusion nano antibody contains the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO.6, 1A8-HAP is an enzyme-labeled secondary antibody to detect the HE4 antigen in a serum sample by a double antibody sandwich immunoassay method, and the excellent detection effect is obtained, wherein the specific process is as follows:

diluting the capture antibody to a final concentration of 10 μ g/ml using sterile CBS; adding 100 mul of the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) plate into each hole, and standing for 18 hours at 4 ℃; discarding the supernatant, adding 300 μ l of washing solution into each well, horizontally shaking for 3 minutes, and absorbing and discarding the supernatant; the plate was washed four times. Mu.l of 1% BSA was added to each well and allowed to stand at 37 ℃ for 1 hour. Washing the plate for four times; adding 50 μ l of positive control, negative control or sample to be tested into each well; adding 50 mul of freshly diluted enzyme-labeled secondary antibody (namely the nano antibody 1A8-HAP which is diluted to the working concentration of 2 mu g/ml) into each hole, and placing the mixture on a shaking table to shake for 3-5 seconds; incubate at 37 ℃ for 1 hour. Washing the plate for four times repeatedly, adding 100 mu l of AP Chemiluminescence color development liquid (BM Chemiluminescence ELISA Substrate) into each hole, and shaking the plate on a shaking table for 3-5 seconds; incubating for 10 minutes at room temperature in dark; and selecting a microplate reader program Luminescence, measuring the Lum value of each hole and calculating the HE4 value of the quality control serum. Results 3C8 vs 1A8 Nanobody Linearity index R²＞0.99。
