Description

Anti-cytokeratin 18 antibody, preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of biological immunotherapy, in particular to an anti-cytokeratin 18 antibody, a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
Cytokeratin (CK) is the largest, most complex subclass of the intermediate silk protein family of cytoskeleton, with Cytokeratin 18 (CK 18) belonging to one of the members, predominantly distributed in epithelial cells, being the major framework protein of hepatocytes and other epithelial cells. CK18 is an acidic intermediate silk protein of type i that is expressed predominantly in mature epithelial cells, CK8 being its filiform partner. In recent years, with the development of research, CK18 has been increasingly recognized and emphasized not only in the diagnosis, metastasis, recurrence and prognosis of tumors in a plurality of systems, but also in the fields of liver diseases, severe infections and the like. The CK18 full-length recombinant protein is prepared through gene recombination, and monoclonal antibodies are prepared by taking the CK18 full-length recombinant protein as an immunogen, so that a core bioactive raw material can be provided for a CK18 detection kit.
Studies in 1997 by Carlos Cauli n, guy S.Salvesen, and Robert G.Oshima et al have found that structural changes during apoptosis are mediated by proteases of the Caspase (Caspase) family, during which Ck18 IFs recombines into a phosphorylated-rich particle structure. Generating a proteolytic fragment during the drug and uv-induced apoptosis; this fragment binds to K18 cleaved in vitro by caspase-6, -3 and-7. Cleavage of K18 to NH by caspase-6 2 Terminal, 26kd and COOH terminal 22kd fragments; caspase-3 and-7 also cut 22kd fragments into 19kd fragments. The common cleavage site for the three cysteases is the sequence VEVD/A, located in the junction region of CK 18L 1-2. For example, chinese patent application CN111269314a discloses a method for preparing and applying an anti-CK 18 monoclonal antibody, wherein the immunogen is prepared by connecting a CK18 epitope peptide with a carrier protein KLH (keyhole limpet hemocyanin), and the monoclonal antibodies prepared by the method have high epitope homogeneity, but also lose many other CK18 epitopes.

Detailed Description
Various exemplary embodiments of the invention will now be described in detail, which should not be considered as limiting the invention, but rather as more detailed descriptions of certain aspects, features and embodiments of the invention. The specific techniques or conditions are not noted in the examples and are carried out according to the techniques or conditions described in the literature in the art (for example, refer to J. Sam Brookfield et al, code Huang Peitang et al, molecular cloning Experimental guidelines, third edition, scientific Press) or according to the product specifications. The reagents or apparatus used were conventional products commercially available without the manufacturer's attention.
It is to be understood that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. In addition, for numerical ranges in the present invention, it is understood that the upper and lower limits of the ranges and each intermediate value therebetween are specifically disclosed. Every smaller range between any stated value or stated range, and any other stated value or intermediate value within the stated range, is also encompassed within the invention. The upper and lower limits of these smaller ranges may independently be included or excluded in the range.
Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs. Although only preferred methods and materials are described herein, any methods and materials similar or equivalent to those described herein can be used in the practice or testing of the present invention. All documents mentioned in this specification are incorporated by reference for the purpose of disclosing and describing the methods and/or materials associated with the documents. In case of conflict with any incorporated document, the present specification will control.
The heavy and light chain variable regions of an antibody typically comprise 3 complementarity determining regions CDRs and 4 framework regions FRs. The four FRs are relatively conserved, while the CDR regions (CDR 1, CDR2 and CDR 3) contain hypervariable regions. The complementarity determining regions are linked by a framework region, and when an antibody is recognized, the FR molecules are curled so that the CDR molecules are adjacent to each other. The complementarity determining region is the binding site of an antibody or antigen binding fragment to an antigen, and thus the sequence of the complementarity determining region determines the specificity of the antibody. As understood in the art, an antibody is a glycoprotein or antigen binding portion thereof comprising at least two heavy (H) chains and two light (L) chains interconnected by disulfide bonds. The heavy chain comprises a heavy chain variable region (VH) and a heavy chain constant region (CH). The light chain comprises a light chain variable region (VL) and a light chain constant region (CL).
An "antigen binding fragment" as used herein refers to a polypeptide fragment that comprises a portion of an intact antibody, such as an antigen binding or variable region of an intact antibody, and has the property of being able to specifically target CK18. Preferably, it contains at least one CDR of an antibody heavy chain variable region and/or light chain variable region; also preferably, it may contain CDRs 1-3 of the heavy chain variable region and/or CDRs 1-3 of the light chain variable region. Antigen binding fragments may be prepared by a variety of techniques including, but not limited to, hybridoma techniques, or by proteolytic digestion of the intact antibody, or by expression from a host cell containing the antigen binding fragment.
The invention provides the antibody or the antigen binding fragment thereof for targeting CK18, which has good safety and targeting property and can specifically bind human CK18.
Without being bound by or theoretical to, the heavy chain amino acid sequence comprising variable regions CDR1, CDR2, CDR3 and the light chain amino acid sequence comprising variable regions CDR1, CDR2, CDR3 may be randomly selected within the following ranges:
(1) Has the sequence of SEQ ID NO: 1. 3, 5;
(2) Has the sequence of SEQ ID NO: 2. 4, 6.
In the present invention, the antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof has any one of the amino acid sequences shown in (I), (II) or (III): (I) SEQ ID NO: 1. 3, 5 and the heavy chain amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 2. 4, 6; (II) with SEQ ID No.:1-6 has an amino acid sequence having at least 90%, preferably at least 95%, still preferably at least 98%, most preferably at least 99% homology; (III) amino acid sequence obtained by modification, substitution, deletion or addition of one or more amino acids to the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID No. 1-6, it being noted that the above-mentioned sequences of homology (sometimes referred to herein as "identity") do not alter the antigen-antibody binding properties, i.e.the amino acid sequences selected from the above still retain the activity of the antibody against the tumor surface antigen CK18.
The amino acid sequence of the present invention may be a sequence obtained by modifying the sequence according to the codon preference of the host according to the coding sequence of a murine antibody. In the present invention, by host codon bias modification is meant that the base sequence is base-substituted according to degenerate codons in order to adapt to the needs of different host expression, the codon bias modification generally does not alter the sequence of the product protein or polypeptide.
In the present invention, the antibody includes at least one of monoclonal antibody, humanized antibody, chimeric antibody and bispecific antibody; the antigen binding fragment is at least one of Fab, F (ab') 2, fd, single chain antibody scFv, disulfide linked Fv (sdFv) or single domain antibody.
Preferably, the antibody further comprises an antibody constant region; also preferably, the antibody constant region is selected from the group consisting of: a constant region of any of IgG1, igG2, igG3, igG4, igA, igM, igE, and IgD.
Preferably, the heavy chain constant region of the antibody constant region is selected from the heavy chain constant region of any one of IgG1, igG2, igG3, igG4, preferably the heavy chain constant region of IgG 4; the light chain constant region of the antibody constant region is kappa or lambda.
Antibodies of the invention may comprise an Fc region from IgG, e.g., igG1, igG2, igG3, or IgG4.
The term "monoclonal antibody", sometimes referred to herein as "mAb" or "mAb," refers to an immunoglobulin derived from a pure line of cells, having the same structural and chemical properties, specific for a single epitope. Monoclonal antibodies are directed against a single determinant on an antigen, unlike conventional polyclonal antibody preparations (typically with different antibodies directed against different determinants). In addition to their specificity, monoclonal antibodies are beneficial in that they are obtained by hybridoma or recombinant engineering cell culture without intermixing with other immunoglobulins. The modifier "monoclonal" indicates the character of the antibody as being obtained from a homogeneous population of antibodies, but this should not be construed as requiring any particular or particular method of producing the antibody.
Variant antibodies are also included within the scope of the invention. The sequence of the variant is not particularly limited in the present invention as long as it has binding properties targeting the CK18 antigen, or an antibody having improved affinity, and other variants having such a sequence can be obtained using methods known in the art and are included in the scope of the present invention. The amino acid sequence of a polypeptide can be modified by one skilled in the art using recombinant methods and/or synthetic chemical techniques for producing variant polypeptides. For example, amino acid substitutions may be used to obtain antibodies with further improved affinity. Alternatively, codon optimization of the nucleotide sequence may be used to improve translational efficiency in expression systems for the production of antibodies. Such variant antibody sequences have 80% or greater (i.e., 85%, 90%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98%, 99% or greater) sequence identity to the sequences recited in the present invention. The sequence identity is calculated relative to the sequences listed in the present invention. Or for optimal alignment, such as by program GAP or BESTFIT using default GAP weights.
The term "modification" as used herein means that amino acid modification does not significantly affect or alter the binding characteristics of an antibody comprising the amino acid sequence. Such modifications include amino acid substitutions, additions and deletions. Preferably, the different residue positions differ by conservative amino acid substitutions. Antibodies of the invention may include glycosylation, acetylation, phosphorylation, amidation, derivatization with known protecting/blocking groups, proteolytic cleavage, or non-naturally occurring amino acid modification, and the like.
Conservative amino acid substitutions refer to the interchangeability of residues having similar side chains. For example, the group of amino acids having aliphatic side chains is glycine, alanine, valine, leucine and isoleucine; the amino acid group with aliphatic-hydroxyl side chains is serine and threonine; the group of amino acids having amide-containing side chains is asparagine and glutamine; amino acids having aromatic side chains are phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan; amino acid groups with basic side chains are lysine, arginine and histidine; and the group of amino acids having sulfur-containing side chains is cysteine and methionine. Preferred conservative amino acid substitutions are: valine-leucine-isoleucine, phenylalanine-tyrosine, lysine-arginine, alanine valine, glutamic acid-aspartic acid and asparagine-glutamine. Thus, one or more amino acid residues in the CDR regions of the antibodies of the invention may be replaced with other amino acid residues from the same side chain family.
Another class of variable region modifications that may be present are mutations of amino acid residues in the CDR1, CDR2 and/or CDR3 regions of VH and/or VL to improve one or more binding characteristics (e.g., affinity) of the antibody of interest. Mutations can be introduced by site-directed mutagenesis or PCR-mediated mutagenesis. Preferably, conservative modifications (as described above) are introduced. The mutation may be a substitution, addition or deletion of an amino acid, but is preferably a substitution. Furthermore, residues in the CDR regions typically do not vary by more than one, two, three, four or five.
The present invention provides an isolated nucleic acid encoding an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof as described above.
The present invention provides a vector comprising an isolated nucleic acid according to the present invention. The vector may be an expression vector or a cloning vector, examples of which include, but are not limited to, pET28a, pET32a, pET22b, pET30a, etc., preferably pET28a.
