Description

Single-chain antibody for detecting Tau protein, and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The application belongs to the technical field of genetically engineered antibodies, and particularly relates to a single-chain antibody for detecting Tau protein, and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is a progressive degenerative disease of the central nervous system and is the most common cause of dementia, so that senile dementia is also called onset, disease progression is chronic, and the period from pathological changes to obvious symptoms can last for decades, and finally cognitive dysfunction is caused. Two major typical pathological changes in alzheimer's disease include: intracellular amyloid plaque (amyoidplatae) formation and extracellular neurofibrillary tangles (NeurofibrillaryTangles, NFTs), with subsequent synaptic loss and neuronal death. Amyloid plaques are mainly composed of beta Amyloid (Amyloid beta, aβ), and NFTs are caused to be abnormal Tau protein as a main component. Most of the medicines (Abeta vaccine and gamma secretase inhibitor) aiming at Abeta have been announced to fail in clinical researches, and more researches point to that Tau protein hyperphosphorylation is a direct cause of neurotoxicity generated by Alzheimer disease, and the binding force between Tau protein hyperphosphorylation and tubulin is only 1/10 of that of normal Tau protein, so that the biological function of promoting microtubule assembly and the effect of maintaining microtubule stability are lost, the structure of a neuron microtubule is widely damaged, normal axon transport is damaged, synapse loss is finally caused, and the function of the neuron is damaged, and cerebral neurodegenerative disease occurs. Thus, tau protein is the most promising therapeutic target for alzheimer's disease.
Along with the development of genetic engineering technology, therapeutic antibody medicines gradually occupy the global market, and the development of anti-Tau protein monoclonal antibodies and genetic engineering antibodies is one of the directions of Tau protein targeting diagnosis and treatment, so that a certain technology and material foundation can be laid for diagnosis and treatment of Alzheimer patients.
Immunoglobulins (Ig) or antibodies are important components of the immune system, and they play a dual role in terms of structure. They are capable of site-specifically binding to an antigen via an antigen binding fragment on the one hand and of activating other cells of the immune system via the Fc-segment on the other hand to mediate immune responses. They can be classified into polyclonal antibodies (multiple antibodies recognize multiple epitopes of an antigen) and monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). The latter is a highly specific antibody that recognizes only a specific epitope of an antigen and is widely used in immunohistochemistry, flow cytometry, immunoblotting and related techniques. In addition, monoclonal antibodies have also become an important component of cancer therapy in the last 20 years. Their medical use can be extended to chronic inflammatory diseases, transplantation and infections (e.g. HIV monoclonal antibodies have a significant effect in the treatment of HIV disease in humans).
Monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) have the advantages of strong specificity and high affinity, but the existing production technology has the defects of high production cost, difficult industrial scale up and quality control and the like, and the small molecular antibodies in genetic engineering are ideal substitution products of the monoclonal antibodies. The recombinant antibody is a third generation antibody after the polyclonal antibody and the monoclonal antibody, the gene structure of the antibody is modified by utilizing a recombinant DNA technology, and then the recombinant antibody gene is transferred into a prokaryotic or eukaryotic expression system for expression, so that the recombinant antibody is formed. Compared with the preparation of polyclonal antibodies and monoclonal antibodies, the recombinant antibody technology has the following characteristics and advantages: (1) no immunization of the animal is required; (2) the antibody engineering bacteria are more stable than hybridoma cells, are easy to store, and are suitable for large-scale industrial production; (3) specific antibodies with high affinity can be obtained. The single chain antibody (ScFv) has the advantages of small molecular weight, strong tissue penetrating power, short in vivo circulation half-life, low immunogenicity, easy genetic engineering improvement and the like, and plays an important role in clinical diagnosis, treatment, prevention and the like of diseases. At present, no report on recombinant single-chain antibodies against Tau protein exists.
