Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for determining the immunological reaction profile of an organism.
- the RT and PCR products are obtainable by the above-mentioned method, as are the vectors which contain these RT and PCR products.
- the invention further relates to the use of these vectors for the production of recombinant antibodies, and the recombinant antibodies, as well as the use of these recombinant antibodies in the above-mentioned method for analyzing their binding activity.
- Hypersensitivity reactions of type I Pathophysiologically, the disease is attributed to disorders of immunological tolerance mechanisms, which have not yet been clarified in detail.
- the underlying immune reactions are mostly directed against harmless antigens that are tolerated by healthy people. These inflammatory reactions are mediated by class E immunoglobulins.
- the IgE molecules are bound by mast cells and basophilic granulocytes via surface receptors. If cross-linking of IgE / IgE receptor complexes occurs with antigen contact, processes are induced in the cells in question which lead to the secretion of inflammatory mediators. This is the starting point for the diverse symptoms of atopic diseases.
- a humoral immune response begins with an IgM-dominated primary antibody response.
- the antibody repertoire is later specified by switching recombination to the antibody isotypes IgG, IgA or IgE.
- This Antibody classes are also used later for "memory antibodies”. It is characteristic of the antibodies of the secondary immune response that they have a higher affinity for a specific antigen. The phenomenon underlying this development is called “affinity maturation of the antibody repertoire”. It is achieved by somatic mutations in the hypervariable regions of the variable areas of the heavy and light antibody chains and takes place in the germ centers of lymphoid organs.
- the producers of the immunoglobulins are B lymphocytes, the maturation, differentiation and clonal expansion of which are essentially determined by the mutual contact with antigen-presenting cells and T helper cells (Th cells).
- Th cells T helper cells
- Each B cell clone expresses only one, genetically unique variant of an immunoglobulin.
- the variability of different binding specificities is thus determined by the repertoire of different clonal origin cells.
- the ratio of the size of the individual clones to one another is shaped by the dynamic adaptation to the current requirements.
- the specific binding activity against antigens is determined by the constitution of the variable regions of the light and heavy chains of an antibody. ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ 4
- Type 2 Th cells have a significant influence on the development of IgE-secreting plasma cells.
- the alignment of immunological processes to a specific antigen is determined by highly specific surface receptors (B-
- IgE titers are lost when B cells of different specificity via the low affinity receptor for IgE (CD23) soluble immunoglobulins
- Bind classes and thus, in addition to their original specificity, which is represented by the membrane-bound B cell receptor, recognize -IgE-specific antigens, internalize them and make contact with Th2 cells via MHC II molecules. As a result, further IgE secreting plasma cells that can extremely expand the hypersensitive antigen spectrum [1].

- the mixture is centrifuged at 4,000 rpm for 10 minutes and the pellet is resuspended in 10 ml 2xTY, 100 ⁇ g / ml ampicillin, 1 mM ITPG.
- the mixture is incubated for at least 5 more hours with continuous shaking at 30 ° C.
- the construct can be harvested from the periplasm after 5 hours of induction.
- the culture is cooled on ice for 10 to 20 minutes and then centrifuged in a microfuge at 6,000 rpm for 5 minutes.
- the pellets are taken up in 10% of the original volume in PBS, 1 M NaCl, 1 mM EDTA 4 ° C. and then incubated on ice for 30 minutes.
- Another centrifugation step follows in the microfuge for 10 minutes at 6,000 rpm to remove the cells.
- the supernatant is transferred to a fresh tube and centrifuged at 14,000 rpm, 4 ° C. for 10 minutes in order to sediment debris.
- the periplasmic protein fraction is in the supernatant.
- the bacterial pellet was resuspended in ultrasound buffer (75 mM Tris / HCl pH 8, 300 mM NaCl, 1 tablet protease inhibitors [Boeringer] / 50 ml, 5 mM DTT, 10 mM EDTA, 10% glycerol) on ice (15 min) and then 6 x 30 s at 200 watts treated with ultrasound. Between each Incubation phases were followed by a cooling phase of the same length on ice (30 s). In order to obtain the scFv fusions (immunotoxins) quantitatively, it was necessary to freeze the pellet again at -80 ° C or -196 ° C and to repeat the steps just described a maximum of 3 times.
- ultrasound buffer 75 mM Tris / HCl pH 8, 300 mM NaCl, 1 tablet protease inhibitors [Boeringer] / 50 ml, 5 mM DTT, 10 mM EDTA, 10% glycerol
- the fractions obtained were pooled and sterile filtered. After sequential 50% ammonium sulfate (AS) precipitation, the samples were incubated in 30% AS for 4-6 h, then enriched in 50% AS and finally precipitated at 4 ° C overnight. To obtain the samples, they are centrifuged at 25,000 g for 45 min. The protein pellet was taken up in sample buffer (75 mM Tris / HCl pH 8, 300 mM NaCl, 10% glycerol). The samples were then buffered at 4 ° C. using a Hitrap-Desalting column on an FPLC system (75 mM Tris / HCl pH 8, 300 mM NaCl, 10% glycerol). After the desalination column, the protein was applied in a first step by metal chelate chromatography over a Ni-NTA column (Qiagen).
- AS ammonium sulfate
- the separation of antigen-specific B cells is preceded by a leukocyte preparation using Ficoll gradient centrifugation (see also Example 1).
- the starting material for the preparation is peripheral whole blood from patients. Allergy sufferers take 10 ml of peripheral whole blood in heparin-coated blood tubes.
- a density gradient centrifugation follows. The supernatant contains the approximately 1: 3 diluted serum and can be stored at -20 ° C for ELISA.
- the solid blood components sink to the bottom of the sample tube, the lymphocytes appear as a ring between the serum and Ficoll solution and are removed using a pipette.
- the lymphocytes are washed in a volume of 30 ml of FACS buffer (1 ⁇ PBS, 0.5% BSA, 4 mM EDTA) at 4 ° C. for 20 min at 1500 rpm with a brake and the lymphocyte pellet is resuspended in 1 ml of FACS buffer.
- FACS buffer 1 ⁇ PBS, 0.5% BSA, 4 mM EDTA
- the lymphocytes are incubated with an anti-human CD19-MACS antibody (Milteny) (see also Example 1). After washing twice, up to 2 ⁇ 10 8 total cells are loaded onto the MS-MACS separation column (Miltenyi). The column is previously equilibrated with 500 ⁇ l FACS buffer and then washed 3 times with 500 ⁇ l FACS buffer. The column is then removed from the magnet, covered with 1 ml of FACS buffer and the enriched cells are carefully pushed through with the syringe stamp. The purity can be increased to 99% if the positive, CD19 + enriched fraction is run over a second, equilibrated column.
- RNA isolation 2.4 RNA isolation, cDNA synthesis and RT-PCR Birch pollen-reactive immunolobulin heavy and light chains
- the positive cells are immediately sorted into a 96-well plate into which 20 ⁇ l of lx RT-PCR buffer (QIAGEN oneStep RT-PCR Kit) have been placed.
- the RNA isolation takes place according to the Quiagen standard protocol.
- RT reverse transcription
- antisense-specific primers from the 3 'region are separated from the constant region of the kappa and lambda light chain, as well as the isotype-specific heavy chain (epsilon ( ⁇ ), alpha (o), mü ( ⁇ ) and gamma ( ⁇ ) subclasses) are used (the sequences are fully available in the sequence database).
- the PCR amplification step follows, in which an aliquot of the RT mixture with the respective sense primers from the 5 ′ variable region of the kappa and lambda light chain and the variable heavy chain is added. V-Gen mixes of heavy and light chains published as standard are used as primers for this.
- the PCR conditions were optimized for the following times and temperatures (45 s 95 ° C, 45 s 72 ° C, 1 min 59 ° C; 35 repeats).
- a semi-nested PCR protocol can be used to increase the specificity of the PCR.
- the resulting PCR products are sequenced directly (ABI). Based on the sequence obtained, the PCR product is recloned into suitable Expressjons vectors.
- the heavy and light chains are expressed as scFv or Fab fragments as described in Example 1.
