Definitions

  • This invention relates to the preparation of monoclonal antibodies. More specifically this inventi relates to the preparation of secondary monoclonal antibodies against a complex of a ligand and a binding protein against such ligand which secondary monoclonal antibody is not an antibody against the ligand or agains its binding protein.
  • European Patent Application No. 85901495.3 (PCT/GB/85/120 and W085/4422) describes a novel class of antibodies. Said European Patent Application is incorporated herein. Because of the special and unusua nature of those antibodies it has been found that a larg number of animals have to be immunised and used to produ a large number of hybridomas to give rise to those antibodies. It would be an advantage if a method could be used which reduces the time involved in such procedur Such an improved method has been discovered and is one also applicable to antibodies against other complexes. It is particularly surprising that antibodies able to bind complexes so specifically are obtainable by rapid methods.
  • the present invention provides a method of producing a secondary monoclonal antibody against a complex of a ligand and a binding protein against said ligand which secondary monoclonal antibody- is not an antibody against the ligand or against its binding protein which method comprises introducing the complex directly to immunocompetent cells, thereafter fusing said immunocompetent cells with neoplastic perpetuating cells and selecting and growing hybridomas capable of producing said secondary monoclonal antibody and recovering said secondary monoclonal antibody produced thereby.
  • the method of this invention may be adapt to the preparation of a secondary monoclonal antibody against a complex of a ligand whicu is large or small
  • small molecule means a molecule of molecular weight less than 5000. Such small molecules most aptl has a molecular weight of less than 2000 and preferably have a molecular weight of less than 1200.
  • the binding protein used in this invention may be an antibody or other proteinaceous material such as an enzyme or specific binding protein such as a steroid binding protein or a vitimin binding protein.
  • Preferab 5 the binding protein used is an antibody.
  • Such antibodies may be referred to as "primary" antibodi
  • this invention provid a method of producing a secondary monoclonal antibody 10 against a complex of a small molecule and a primary monoclonal antibody against said small molecule which secondary monoclonal antibody is not an antibody against the ligand or against its primary monoclonal antibody wh method comprises introducing the complex directly to 5 immunocompetent cells, thereafter fusing said immunocompetent cells with neoplastic perpetuating cells and selecting and growing hybridomas capable of producin said secondary monoclonal antibody and recovering said monoclonal antibody produced thereby.
  • An advantage of the method of this invention is that incubation of the complex by the immunocompetent cells needs to take place for only a relatively short time as opposed to the longer periods generally required if the complex is introduced to an animal in convention manner (ie to the whole animal by a systemic mode of administration, such as intramuscular injection, as opposed to direct administration of the complex to the immunocompetent cells) ' .
  • Good titres of the desired monoclonal antibodies can be achieved by the method of this invention.
  • the direct administration of the complex to the immunocompetent cells may take place in vitro (for exam to a suspension of cells such as lymphocytes) but I presently prefer to introduce the complex to the immunocompetent cells in vivo, for example by administr into the spleen (that is intrasplenic immunisation) . I have found this lattermethod to yield particularly suitable results.
  • Intrasplenic immunisation may be effected by injection of a solution (or suspension) of complex directly into the spleen of an animal such as a mouse.
  • the immunisation may be repeated.
  • Such a second (or subsequent) administration may be directly to the immunocompetent cells or (when in vivo) systemically by conventional methods such as intramuscul injection or intraperitoneal injection.
  • this invention provides a method as hereinbefore described wherein the complex is introduced directly to the immunocompetent cells (normal intrasplenically) and then later the animal is immunised systemically.
  • the time between the direct and conventional immunisation may be, for example, 7-21 day or more aptly 10-15_lays.
  • the systemic immunisation may precede the direct immunisation.
  • the time between conventional and direct methods may be, for example, 7-2_days or more aptly 10-15 days.
  • the complex used for immunisation may be prepared by the general methods of my earlier European Patent Application but I have found it particularly convenient to simply mix generally with stirring the components in distilled water or a suitable buffer such as Tris pH 7.4 buffer. This simple mixing can be for as short as a few minutes with more soluble materials but longer perio may be required with less soluble materials. Solubilis agents such as Tweens can be used In low levels in conventional manner if desired.
  • the ligand may be pres in excess if desired (subject to any toxic effect of a toxic ligand) and may also be administered in addition t the complex. Less preferably the complex of ligand and binding protein may be one in which the two are covalent linked.
  • immunocompotent cell such as lymphoc
  • lymphoc any suitable immunocompotent cell such as lymphoc
  • the cells may be fused with neoplastic perpetuating cells such as myeloma cells in conventional manner for producing hybri cell lines for monoclonal antibody preparation. I prefe to use mouse cells but cells of other animals may be employed if desired, for example rat, human, sheep, bird or the like.
  • the growth and selection of clones and isolation of secondary antibody may be performed as in my earlier European Patent Application No. 85901495.3.
  • the antibodies may be employed as described in that applicat
  • the favoured classes of small molecule to be employed are as described in my earlier European Patent Application.
  • Larger molecules that may be employed are preferably naturally occuring materials such as those useful as diagnostic markers, for example enzymes.
  • Any suitable method of recovering the desired monoclonal antibodies may be employed and many such methods are known in the art, also for example my earlier European Patent Application.
