Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain the subject new antibody capable of binding to human monocyte chemotactic activation factor (human MCP-1) and suppressing action of MCP-1, free from adverse effect and useful for treating and preventing diseases accompanying inflammation, e.g. idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, glomerulonephritis and arterial sclerosis. SOLUTION: This monoclonal antibody is bound to human monocyte chemotactic activation factor (human MCP-1). The antibody binds to MCP-1 concerning accentuation and activation of chemotaxis of monocyte and macrophage and suppresses its action and is useful as a treating and preventing agent, etc., of diseases accompanying inflammation reaction in which monocyte and macrophage participates, e.g. idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, glomerulonephritis and arterial sclerosis. The monoclonal antibody is obtained by separating blood cells by Ficoll separating liquid from peripheral blood of a normal subject to provide a human mononucleosis fraction, then infecting the fraction with Epstein-Barr virus(EBV) and culturing the fraction and selecting human MCP-1 antibody-producing monocyte from the cultured products and fusing the monocyte with a myeloma cell, culturing the fused cell, selecting a strain which forms colony and culturing the strain.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Monocyte chemotactic activator (MCP-1) is
It is a molecule cloned by Matsushima et al. And Yoshimura et al. In 1989, and is one of the cytokines that act on monocytes and macrophages to promote their chemotaxis and activation (eg Oppenheim et al .: Annu. Rev. Immu
nol., 9 , 617 (1991)). Localized leukocyte chemotaxis and infiltration are observed in the expansion of the inflammatory site. For example, in idiopathic pulmonary fibroma, infiltration of monocytes and macrophages is observed in the alveolar infiltrates, which is considered to contribute to the expansion of the inflammatory site. High expression of MCP-1 was observed in this alveolar infiltrate, and it is considered that MCP-1 affects the promotion of idiopathic pulmonary fibroma. In follicular nephritis, high expression of MCP-1 and infiltration of monocytes and macrophages were observed at the lesion site, and MC increased in the progression of nephritis.
It is estimated that P-1 is involved. Further, in arteriosclerosis, it is known that low density lipoprotein modified by oxidation and the like is taken up by macrophages and eventually foams to form sclerosing foci, but MCP-1 is involved in chemotaxis of these macrophages. Are believed to be involved.

As described above, MCP-1 acts on monocytes and macrophages to promote the promotion and activation of chemotaxis to local inflammation, and is involved in the development of some inflammatory reactions. It is believed that Therefore, MCP-1
It is considered that a substance that suppresses the action of is useful for prevention or treatment of these inflammatory reactions, and a monoclonal antibody against MCP-1 is considered as one of the candidates. Mouse monoclonal antibodies that bind to MCP-1 are described in, for example, Yoshimura et al. (Yoshimura et al .: J. Immuno).

No. 0 publication. That is, after immunizing a mouse with human MCP-1 as an antigen, spleen cells and myeloma cells obtained from the mouse are cell-fused to prepare a hybridoma, and anti-MCP-1 is prepared from the hybridoma.
We have mouse monoclonal antibodies. However, although these reports describe anti-MCP-1 monoclonal antibodies derived from animals other than humans, human-derived anti-MCP-1 monoclonal antibodies have been described.
No mention is made of the CP-1 monoclonal antibody.

Antibodies derived from animals other than humans are recognized as foreign substances when administered to humans, and as a result, various antibody reactions occur to form antibodies against the administered animal antibodies. This antibody reaction reduces the reactivity of the administered antibody itself and, at the same time, significantly shortens the half-life in human blood. For example, when a mouse monoclonal antibody is administered to humans, an anti-mouse antibody reaction (HAMA) occurs. HA
As a measure to reduce MA, recombine the antigen binding site of mouse monoclonal antibody and the constant site of a human antibody,
Attempts have been made to produce chimeric or humanized antibodies. However, even in this method, since the component derived from the mouse antibody is recognized as an antigen in the human body, the problem of HAMA cannot be completely avoided. For this reason,
It is expected that fully human monoclonal antibodies will be useful.

Example 2 Confirmation of Binding to Human MCP-1 Antigen in Liquid Phase by Sandwich ELISA Anti-MCP-1 Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody (PeproTech)
Was diluted to 4 μg / ml with 0.1 M carbonate buffer (pH 9.6), and the diluted solution was dispensed into a 96-well plate (Greiner) at 50 μl per well. The plate was left overnight at 4 ° C. to prepare an antibody-immobilized plate. Wash the plate with wash solution (0.02% sodium azide, 0.05% Tween).

After washing with 0)), blocking was performed with a blocking solution (PBS containing 0.5% bovine serum albumin). On the other hand, another 9

100 ng / ml was mixed and shaken at room temperature for 2 hours.
The reaction product was transferred to a blocking antibody-immobilized plate and shaken at room temperature for 2 hours. After washing with wash solution, add 1-fold per well of alkaline phosphatase-labeled anti-human IgM antibody (BIO SOURCE) diluted with blocking solution 500 times.
It was dispensed by 00 μl each and shaken at room temperature for 2 hours. After washing with a washing solution, 50 μl of a substrate solution (9.6% diethanolamine buffer solution (pH 9.6) containing 0.6% p-nitrophenyl phosphate and 0.5 mM magnesium chloride) was added,
Shake for 30 minutes at room temperature. After 50 μl of 3N sodium hydroxide was added to the reaction solution to stop the reaction, the absorbance at 405 nm was measured by an immunoreader (Nippon Intermed). As a result, as shown in FIG. 1 (FIG. 1), the antibody prepared from the hybridoma strain MA01 was found to be human MCP.
A reaction was observed depending on the amount of the -1 antigen. Similar reactions were carried out with human MCP-1 when human IgM antibody (Rockland) with different reaction specificity was used instead of anti-MCP-1 human monoclonal antibody and when no human monoclonal antibody was used (Control). No reaction was observed. From this, the hybridoma strain MA
It was confirmed that the anti-MCP-1 human monoclonal antibody produced by 01 can recognize and bind human MCP-1 in the liquid phase.

INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY The present invention provides a human monoclonal antibody that binds to human MCP-1. Since it can bind to human MCP-1 which is thought to be deeply involved in the inflammatory reaction involving monocytes and macrophages, it can be expected to have preventive and therapeutic effects on diseases associated with such inflammatory reaction. . Furthermore, anti-MCP- which is a specific inhibitor of MCP-1 reported so far.
Human monoclonal antibodies were shown to have no antigenicity problems when administered to humans as compared to 1 mouse monoclonal antibody. From such characteristics, the anti-MC provided by the present invention
A drug containing the P-1 human monoclonal antibody is expected to be a useful drug for humans.
