Description

Rabbit monoclonal antibody aiming at human ERG protein and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of antibody preparation, in particular to a rabbit monoclonal antibody aiming at human ERG protein and application thereof.
Background
Erythrocyte transformation-specific related gene ERG is one of the gene family members of the E-26 transformation-specific (ETS) transcription factor that sequence-specific DNA-binding transcription factor. ERG gene plays an important and highly conserved role in vertebrate development, and in early embryo development, ERG is highly expressed in embryonic embryoid leaves and endothelial cells, and plays an important role in vascular system formation, genitourinary tract formation and bone development, and in late embryo development, ERG participates in physiological processes such as regulation of hematopoietic stem cell pluripotency, endothelial cell homeostasis and angiogenesis. ERG expression is not limited to development, but is normally observed in endothelial tissues (including adrenal, cartilage, heart, spleen, and lymph) and eosinophils in adult mice, and is primarily responsible for regulating and controlling endothelial apoptosis and angiogenesis and plays a sustained role in maintaining endothelial cell health.
ERG is expressed in both benign and malignant vascular tumors, and ERG antibodies are highly sensitive to vascular tumors, making them one of the highly sensitive and specific biomarkers of vascular-derived tumors. In addition, the gene is involved in chromosomal rearrangements that lead to deregulation of ERG activity and to different fusion gene products, associated with poor prognosis for a variety of different cancers. ERG has been found to be expressed in prostate cancer and high grade intraepithelial neoplasia (HGPIN), and ERG overexpression due to the TMPRSS2-ERG fusion gene formed by fusion of androgen regulated transmembrane serine protease 2 (TMPRSS 2) gene with ERG has been identified as a key driver for metastasis and poor prognosis in prostate cancer. But there is little positive expression of ERG in other epithelial tumors than prostate cancer, and negative expression is seen in all cancers of the breast, gastrointestinal, gynecological, kidney, lung, ovary, pancreas, salivary gland, skin, thyroid, and testes. ERG was also found to be expressed in a minority of EWS sarcoma (an invasive bone tumor and soft tissue tumor) due to chromosomal rearrangements resulting from fusion of ERG and EWSR1 genes, resulting in EWS/ERG chimeric proteins consisting of the amino-terminal transactivation domain (EWS) of EWS sarcoma breakpoint region 1 and the carboxy-terminal ETS domain of ERG. ERG also has expression staining in some meningiomas due to cross-reactivity with Fli-1. Chromosomal translocations between ERG and TLS/FUS or ERG and ELF4 are associated with acute myelogenous leukemia.
In view of the diagnostic and labeling value of ERG, ERG protein detection has important guiding significance in clinical diagnosis and prognosis evaluation of diseases such as angio-derived tumors, prostate cancer and the like. At present, an antibody-based immunological method such as an Immunohistochemical (IHC) is often used for detecting the expression level and the localization condition of ERG in pathological cells and tissues, however, the specificity of the currently marketed anti-human ERG protein antibody is not strong, and nonspecific staining is easily caused during IHC pathological diagnosis, so that the accuracy of a detection result is affected. Therefore, development of an anti-ERG antibody which has good specificity and can meet IHC detection requirements has important significance.

Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the present invention will be described in further detail with reference to the following examples. The examples described herein are intended to illustrate the invention only and are not intended to limit the invention.
Various modifications to the precise description of the invention will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art from the information contained herein without departing from the spirit or scope of the appended claims. It is to be understood that the scope of the invention is not limited to the defined processes, properties or components, as these embodiments, as well as other descriptions, are merely illustrative of specific aspects of the invention. Indeed, various modifications of the embodiments of the invention which are obvious to those skilled in the art or related fields are intended to be within the scope of the following claims.
For a better understanding of the present invention, and not to limit its scope, all numbers expressing quantities, percentages and other values used in the present invention are to be understood as being modified in all instances by the term "about". Accordingly, unless indicated otherwise, the numerical parameters set forth in the specification and attached claims are approximations that may vary depending upon the desired properties sought to be obtained. Each numerical parameter should at least be construed in light of the number of reported significant digits and by applying ordinary rounding techniques. In addition, the terms "comprising," "including," "containing," "having," and the like are intended to be non-limiting, as other steps and other ingredients may be added that do not affect the result.
In addition, it is noted that unless otherwise defined, in the context of the present invention, scientific and technical terms used should have meanings commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art.
The terms "comprising," "including," "having," and the like are intended to be non-limiting, as other steps and other ingredients not affecting the result may be added. The term "and/or" should be taken to refer to a specific disclosure of each of the two specified features or components with or without the other. For example, "a and/or B" will be considered to encompass the following: (i) A, (ii) B, and (iii) A and B.
In the context of the present invention, the terms "rabbit monoclonal antibody", "antibody" and the like have the same meaning and are used interchangeably to refer to antibodies that specifically bind to Human (Human) ERG protein. The modifier "rabbit" means that the Complementarity Determining Regions (CDRs) of the antibody are derived from a rabbit immunoglobulin sequence.
An antibody is an immunoglobulin molecule that specifically binds to an antigen or epitope of interest through at least one antigen recognition site located in the variable region. In the present invention, the term "antibody" is to be interpreted in the broadest sense and includes different antibody structures, including but not limited to so-called full length antibodies, antibody fragments, and genetic or chemical modifications thereof, as long as they exhibit the desired antigen binding activity. Where "antibody fragment" refers to one or more portions or fragments of a full-length antibody, in typical examples, the antibody fragment comprises: fab, fab', F (ab) 2 、F(ab’) 2 、Fv、(Fv) 2 、scFv、sc(Fv) 2
A typical antibody molecule (full length antibody) consists of two identical light chains (L) and two identical heavy chains (H). Light chains can be divided into two types, kappa and lambda chains, respectively; heavy chains can be categorized into five, μ, δ, γ, α and ε chains, respectively, and antibodies are defined as IgM, igD, igG, igA and IgE, respectively. The amino acid sequences of the heavy and light chains near the N-terminus vary greatly, the other portions of the amino acid sequences are relatively constant, the region of the light and heavy chains near the N-terminus, where the amino acid sequences vary greatly, is referred to as the variable region (V), and the region near the C-terminus, where the amino acid sequences are relatively stable, is referred to as the constant region (C). Heavy chain variable regions (VH) and light chain variable regions (VL) are typically the most variable parts of antibodies and contain antigen recognition sites. The VH and VL regions can be further subdivided into hypervariable regions (hypervariable region, HVR) also known as Complementarity Determining Regions (CDRs) which are circular structures, and Framework Regions (FR) where the heavy and light chain CDRs are held closely together and cooperate to form a surface complementary to the three-dimensional structure of the antigen or epitope of interest, which determines the specificity of the antibody, and are the sites for antibody recognition and binding to the antigen. The FR region is the more conserved part of VH and VL, which are generally in the β -sheet configuration, joined by three CDRs forming a connecting loop. Each VH and VL is typically composed of three CDRs and four FRs arranged from amino-terminus to carboxy-terminus in the following order: FR1, CDR1, FR2, CDR2, FR3, CDR3, FR4.
CDRs may be identified according to Kabat definitions, chothia definitions, a combination of both Kabat and Chothia definitions, abM definitions, contact definitions, IMGT unique numbering definitions and/or conformational definitions, or any CDR determination method known in the art. As used herein, CDRs are defined by the Kabat numbering system.
The light chain constant region (CL) and the heavy chain constant region (CH) are not directly involved in binding of an antibody to an antigen, but they exhibit different effector functions, such as participation in antibody-dependent cytotoxicity of an antibody. CL lengths of different classes of igs (κ or λ) are substantially identical, but CH lengths of different classes of igs are different, e.g. IgG, igA and IgD include CH1, CH2 and CH3, while IgM and IgE include CH1, CH2, CH3 and CH4. The amino acid sequences of the antibody heavy and light chain constant regions are well known in the art.
Full length antibodies are the most complete antibody molecular structure, having a typical Y-type molecular structure, and thus, "full length antibodies", "complete antibodies" and "Y-type antibodies" are used interchangeably in the context of the present invention.
The term "Antigen-binding fragment (Fab)" is used in the context of an antibody moleculeThe antigen-binding region, which consists of the complete light chain (variable and constant regions) and a portion of the heavy chain (variable and one constant region fragment), can be cleaved by protease to give fragments such as Fab, F (ab ') 2, fab' and the like. For example, igG can be degraded into two Fab fragments and one Fc fragment by papain; igG can be degraded into a F (ab') under the action of pepsin 2 Fragments and a pFC' fragment. F (ab') 2 The fragment was further reduced to form two Fab' fragments. Because the Fab has an antigen binding region and a partial constant region, the Fab not only has antibody-antigen affinity like a single chain antibody (scFv), excellent tissue penetrating power and the like, but also has a more stable structure, and is widely applied to clinical diagnosis and treatment.
The term "variable fragment (Fv)" is located at the N-terminus of an antibody Fab fragment, contains only the variable region, and consists of one variable region of one light chain and one heavy chain, is a dimer of one VH and one VL that are non-covalently bound (VH-VL dimer), and the 3 CDRs of each variable region interact to form an antigen-binding site on the surface of the VH-VL dimer, with the ability to recognize and bind antigen, although with less avidity than an intact antibody.
The term "Single-chain antibody (scFv)" refers to a minimum antibody fragment in which a heavy chain variable region (VH) and a light chain variable region (VL) are linked by a flexible linker (linker, typically consisting of 10 to 25 amino acids), which retains the binding specificity of the original antibody to an antigen, and the linker in the present invention is not particularly limited as long as it does not interfere with the expression of the antibody variable regions linked at both ends thereof. Compared with full-length antibodies, scFv has the characteristic of small molecular weight, thus having higher penetrability and lower immune side reaction.
The full length sequences of the antibodies or antibody fragments of the invention may be from a single species, such as rabbit, or may be chimeric or humanized antibodies to reduce body rejection while maintaining the desired specificity, affinity. The term "chimeric antibody" antibody refers to an antibody in which a portion is derived from a particular source or species, while the remainder is derived from a different source or species. The term "humanized antibody" is a chimeric antibody in which the CDR regions of a non-human antibody, such as a rabbit antibody, and the FR regions derived from a human, in some cases, the variable regions of a non-human antibody bind to the constant regions of a human antibody, e.g., a human rabbit chimeric antibody; in other cases, the CDR regions of a non-human antibody bind to FR regions and constant regions derived from human antibody sequences, i.e., the CDR regions of a non-human antibody are grafted onto human antibody Framework (FR) sequences derived from single or multiple other human antibody variable region framework sequences. In the present invention, the CDR regions in the chimeric or humanized antibody are derived from rabbit-derived CDR regions.
The term "monoclonal antibody" refers to a homogeneous population of antibodies, i.e., the individual antibodies comprising the population are identical except for possible naturally occurring mutations and/or post-translational modifications (e.g., isomerization, amidation) that may be present in minor amounts. Monoclonal antibodies are highly specific, being directed against a single antigen or epitope. "monoclonal" indicates the character of the antibody as obtained from a substantially homogeneous population of antibodies and is not to be construed as limiting the structure, source, or manner of preparation of the antibody.
The term "specific binding" is a term well known in the art that exhibits "specific binding," "specific binding," or is referred to as "preferential binding" if a molecule reacts more frequently, more rapidly, longer in duration, and/or with greater affinity to a particular antigen or epitope of interest than to other antigens or epitopes of interest, and does not necessarily require (although may include) exclusive binding.
In order that the above-recited objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become more readily apparent, a more particular description of the invention briefly described above will be rendered by reference to specific embodiments thereof which are illustrated in the appended drawings.

The constant regions of antibodies are typically obtained by public interrogation, such as: through IMGT online database (www.imgt.org), rabbit source IgG gamma C reign is searched for CH and rabbit source IgG Kappa C reign is searched for CL.
Alternatively, the amino acid sequence of the light chain is shown as SEQ ID NO.1, and the amino acid sequence of the heavy chain is shown as SEQ ID NO.6, and correspondingly, the heavy chain is of the IgG type.

Yet another embodiment of the invention provides a nucleic acid molecule for encoding a rabbit monoclonal antibody directed against a human ERG protein as described above.
The nucleic acid molecule may be in the form of DNA (e.g., cDNA or genomic DNA or synthetic DNA) or RNA (e.g., mRNA or synthetic RNA). The DNA may be single-stranded or double-stranded, or may be a coding strand or a non-coding strand. The sequence of the nucleic acid molecule is deduced by conventional means such as codon encoding rules according to the amino acid sequence of the antibody.

Further, the nucleotide sequence of the light chain is shown as SEQ ID NO.11, and the nucleotide sequence of the heavy chain is shown as SEQ ID NO. 13. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that nucleic acid molecules other than those exemplified above may likewise be encoded to provide rabbit monoclonal antibodies of the invention due to the degeneracy of the genetic code, and therefore the nucleic acid molecules of the examples should not be taken as limiting the scope of the invention.
Another embodiment of the invention provides a recombinant vector comprising a nucleic acid molecule as described above.
The starting vector from which the recombinant vector is constructed is a variety of vectors conventional in the art, as long as it is capable of harboring the nucleic acid molecule. Typical vectors include plasmids, viral vectors, phages, cosmids and minichromosomes. Plasmids are the most common form of vector, and thus, in the context of the present invention, vectors are used interchangeably with plasmids. The vector may be a cloning vector (i.e., for transferring the nucleic acid molecule into a host and for mass propagation in a host cell) or an expression vector (i.e., comprising the necessary genetic elements to allow expression of the nucleic acid molecule inserted into the vector in a host cell). Thus, a cloning vector may contain a selectable marker, and an origin of replication that matches the cell type specified by the cloning vector, while an expression vector contains regulatory elements (e.g., promoters, enhancers) for expression in a specified host cell. The nucleic acid molecules of the invention may be inserted into a suitable vector to form a cloning vector or an expression vector carrying the nucleic acid molecules of the invention. This is well known in the art and will not be described in detail herein.
Nucleic acid molecules encoding the heavy and light chains of an antibody of the invention may be cloned into a vector, each nucleic acid sequence being linked downstream of a suitable promoter; for example, each nucleic acid sequence encoding a heavy chain and a light chain may be operably linked to a different promoter, or alternatively, the nucleic acid sequences encoding the heavy chain and the light chain may be operably linked to a single promoter such that both the heavy chain and the light chain are expressed from the same promoter. In other embodiments, nucleic acid molecules encoding the heavy and light chains of an antibody of the invention may also be constructed separately on two vectors, which may be introduced into the same or different host cells. When the heavy and light chains are expressed in different host cells, each chain may be isolated from the host cell in which it is expressed and the isolated heavy and light chains mixed and incubated under appropriate conditions to form the antibody. The choice of the aforementioned expression vector/promoter depends on the type of host cell used to produce the antibody.
Transformation of host cells with recombinant vectors can be performed using conventional techniques well known to those skilled in the art. When the host is a prokaryote such as E.coli, competent cells, which can take up DNA, can be obtained after the exponential growth phase and then treated with CaCl 2 By a method or MgCl 2 The method may also be performed by microinjection, electroporation, or liposome encapsulation, and the procedures used are well known in the art. When the host is eukaryotic, the following DNA transfection methods may be used: calcium phosphate co-precipitation, microinjection, electroporation, liposome packaging, and the like.
The host cell may be a prokaryotic cell, such as a bacterial cell; or lower eukaryotic cells, such as yeast cells; or higher eukaryotic cells, such as mammalian cells. Representative examples are: coli, streptomycete, salmonella typhimurium, fungal cells such as yeast, insect cells of drosophila S2 or Sf9, CHO, COS7, 293 series cells, and the like. After obtaining a host cell transformed with the expression vector as described above, the cell is cultured under appropriate conditions to express the monoclonal antibody, and then isolated to obtain a purified antibody.
In a preferred embodiment, the recombinant vector is a mammalian expression vector pBR322 and the host cell is a human kidney epithelial cell (293F cell).
The embodiment of the invention also provides application of the rabbit monoclonal antibody aiming at the human ERG protein, the nucleic acid molecule and the recombinant vector in preparation of reagents and/or kits for immunodetection of the human ERG protein.
The advantages of the rabbit monoclonal antibody, the nucleic acid molecule and the recombinant vector for human ERG protein in the preparation of the reagent and/or the kit for immunodetection of human ERG protein are the same as those of the rabbit monoclonal antibody for human ERG protein in the prior art, and are not described in detail herein.
The antibodies of the invention may be used alone or may be conjugated or coupled to a detectable label (for detection purposes). Detectable labels for detection purposes include, but are not limited to: biotin, fluorescein, chemiluminescent groups, fluorescent proteins, enzymes (e.g., horseradish peroxidase, acid phosphatase), colloidal gold, colored magnetic beads, latex particles, radionuclides, detection antibodies, or combinations thereof.
In immunodetection, the antibody of the present invention is used as an antigen-binding antibody (such as a capture antibody or primary antibody) which specifically recognizes and binds to the ERG protein in the sample to be detected, and then a recognizable signal change is generated by a detectable label attached thereto, or a detection antibody (or secondary antibody) to which a detectable label is coupled specifically binds to the antibody of the present invention to generate a recognizable signal change, thereby achieving qualitative or quantitative detection of the human ERG protein.
In a preferred embodiment, the immunodetection method is immunohistochemistry, and suitable immunodetection pathological samples include, but are not limited to: human tonsils, human extranodal NK/T cell lymphomas, human placenta and human appendix.
