본 발명은 항체의 중쇄 발현 벡터에 관한 것으로, 더욱 상세하게는 항체의 가변영역을 코딩하는 유전자의 연결지역(joining region)에 공통적으로 존재하는 제한효소 부위(restriction site) 및 항체의 불변영역을 코딩하는 유전자를 포함하는 발현 벡터에 관한 것이다. The present invention relates to a heavy chain expression vector of an antibody, and more particularly to encoding a restriction site and a constant region of an antibody which are commonly present in a joining region of a gene encoding a variable region of an antibody. It relates to an expression vector containing the gene to be.
치료용 항체의 개발은 전 세계적으로 여러 분야에서 이루어지고 있으며, 수많은 질병에 대한 치료용으로 항체를 개발하고 있다(Reichmann, L., Clark, M., et al. Nature 322, 323-327(1988); Paul Carter and H. Michael Shepard. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 89, 4285-4289(1992); John Hakimi, and William P. Schneider. J. Immunology 151, 1075-1085(1993)).The development of therapeutic antibodies has been made in many fields around the world, and antibodies have been developed for the treatment of numerous diseases (Reichmann, L., Clark, M., et al. Nature 322, 323-327 (1988). Paul Carter and H. Michael Shepard. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 89, 4285-4289 (1992); John Hakimi, and William P. Schneider. J. Immunology 151, 1075-1085 (1993).
현재 인간화 항체 및 키메라항체를 개발하기 위해서는 마우스 항체의 가변지역 유전자를 인간의 불변유전자와 유전자 재조합 방식으로 클로닝하여 인간화 항체를 만든 다음, 동물세포발현벡터로 클로닝하여 동물세포로 형질전환시킨 후 발현여부를 분석하는 방법을 사용하고 있다.To develop humanized antibodies and chimeric antibodies, cloned the variable region genes of mouse antibodies into human constant genes by genetic recombination to make humanized antibodies, and then cloned them into animal cell expression vectors to transform them into animal cells and then express them. I'm using the method of analysis.
이와 같이, 항체 발현벡터의 경우 특정한 벡터 시스템이 존재하는 것이 아니라 기존에 사용되어온 동물세포발현벡터를 이용하여 항체유전자를 발현시키고 있으며, 현재 동물세포발현벡터로서 많이 사용되는 시스템은 pCDNA(인비트로젠사, 미국)벡터시스템으로서 각종 단백질 유전자를 클로닝하여 동물세포에서 발현시키고 있다. 그러나, 상기의 pCDNA 벡터시스템(인비트로젠사, 미국)의 경우 여러 단계의 클로닝을 거치고, 항체 유전자의 증폭을 위한 dhfr 유전자를 경쇄 또는 중쇄 발현벡터 내에 삽입시켜야 하는 문제점을 갖고 있다.As such, in the case of the antibody expression vector, a specific vector system is not present, but the antibody gene is expressed by using an animal cell expression vector that has been used previously, and a system that is widely used as an animal cell expression vector is pCDNA (Invitrogen). Inc., USA) As a vector system, various protein genes are cloned and expressed in animal cells. However, the above-described pCDNA vector system (Invitrogen, USA) has a problem of inserting the dhfr gene into the light chain or heavy chain expression vector after several steps of cloning and amplifying the antibody gene.
또한, 동물세포발현벡터를 이용하여 항체 유전자를 발현시키기 위해서는 경쇄 및 중쇄 유전자를 각각 발현시키기 위한 2종류의 발현벡터가 필요하며, 생명공학연구소에서 개발한 발현벡터 pKCdhfr의 경우, 항체유전자의 증폭에 필요한 dhfr 유전자를 경쇄가 포함된 발현벡터에 삽입하여 제조하고, 또한 경쇄와 dhfr 유전자만 제외하면 동일하게 구성되어 있는 중쇄가 삽입된 발현벡터를 제조(J. Medical Virology 52:226-233, 1997)하였다.In addition, in order to express antibody genes using animal cell expression vectors, two kinds of expression vectors for expressing light and heavy chain genes are required.In the case of the expression vector pKCdhfr developed by the Biotechnology Research Institute, amplification of antibody genes is required. The required dhfr gene is inserted into an expression vector containing a light chain, and a heavy chain-inserted expression vector is constructed except for the light and dhfr genes ( J. Medical Virology 52: 226-233, 1997). It was.
그러나, 상기의 pKCdhfr 경쇄 발현벡터의 경우, 동일한 벡터 내에 SV40프로 모터 및 벡터복제를 위한 복제기점(origin of replication, ORI), 그리고 전사의 종료를 위하여 사용되는 폴리에이(폴리아데닌, polyadenylation, poly A) 서열을 삽입하기 위해 동일한 SV40 바이러스의 유전자를 사용하여야 하는데, 이는 벡터내에서 자체적으로 재조합 등이 발생할 수 있는 단점을 갖고 있다.However, in the case of the pKCdhfr light chain expression vector described above, an origin of replication (ORI) for the SV40 promoter and vector replication in the same vector, and a polya (polyadenine, polyadenylation, poly A) used for termination of transcription ) The same SV40 virus gene should be used to insert the sequence, which has a disadvantage in that recombination may occur in a vector.
최근 개발된 동물세포발현벡터 pMG(인비보젠사, 미국)는 동일 벡터 내에 2개의 다클로닝 염기서열(multi cloning site, MCS)을 포함하고 있어 항체 등과 같이 2개 이상의 단위체(subunit)로 구성된 단백질의 발현에 적합한 벡터시스템이다. 그러나, 이러한 벡터시스템을 이용하여 항체 유전자를 클로닝할 경우, 새로운 치료용 항체 개발에 있어서 클로닝 작업에 장기간의 연구기간이 소요되며, 항체 유전자의 증폭을 위해서는 dhfr 유전자를 외부벡터로부터 삽입하여야 하는 단점을 내포하고 있다.The recently developed animal cell expression vector pMG (Invivogen, USA) contains two multicloning sequences (MCS) in the same vector, which is a protein composed of two or more subunits such as antibodies. It is a vector system suitable for expression. However, cloning the antibody gene using such a vector system requires a long research period for cloning work in developing a new therapeutic antibody, and in order to amplify the antibody gene, the dhfr gene must be inserted from an external vector. It is implicated.
따라서, 다양한 치료용 항체 개발을 위하여 다양한 가변영역 유전자 후보군을 벡터에 직접 삽입하여 가변영역-불변영역이 연결된 전체 유전자를 효율적으로 발현시킬 수 있는 새로운 발현벡터 시스템의 개발이 필요하다.Therefore, in order to develop various therapeutic antibodies, it is necessary to develop a new expression vector system capable of efficiently expressing all genes linked with variable region-constant regions by inserting various variable region gene candidate groups directly into a vector.
이에 본 발명자들은 상기 문제점을 해결하고자 연구를 거듭한 결과, 중쇄 가변영역을 코딩하는 유전자의 연결지역(joining region)에 공통적으로 존재하는 제한효소 부위(restriction site) 및 중쇄 불변영역을 코딩하는 유전자를 포함하는 발현벡터를 개발하였으며, 본 발명의 발현벡터는 가변영역을 코딩하는 유전자를 직접 카세트 형식으로 클로닝하여 중쇄 전체 유전자를 생산할 수 있으므로 다양한 치료용 항체 개발에 유용하게 사용될 수 있다.
따라서, 본 발명의 목적은 서열번호 3의 염기서열을 프로모터의 하위에 가지는 발현 벡터를 제공하는 것이다.
또한, 본 발명의 목적은 상기 발현 벡터로 형질전환된 숙주세포를 제공하는 것이다.Accordingly, the present inventors have conducted studies to solve the above problems, and as a result, the inventors have identified genes encoding restriction chains and heavy chain constant regions that are commonly present in the joining region of the gene encoding the heavy chain variable region. The expression vector of the present invention was developed, and since the expression vector of the present invention can produce the entire heavy chain gene by directly cloning the gene encoding the variable region in a cassette format, it can be usefully used for developing various therapeutic antibodies.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide an expression vector having the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO: 3 under the promoter.
It is also an object of the present invention to provide a host cell transformed with the expression vector.
