Definitions
- the present invention relates to a human anti-prion antibody that binds to a prion protein and distinguishes between the three-dimensional structure of a normal prion and an abnormal infection prion, and the antibody fragment.
- the antibodies and antibody fragments are expected to suppress the generation or accumulation of abnormally infectious prions and to diagnose and treat prion diseases caused by them.
- Prion disease is a neurodegenerative disease in which prion protein is a pathogenic factor, and is expressed in a helix-rich normal prion protein (cellular isoform of prion protein: PrP c ) expressed in normal individuals. It is thought that the disease is caused by a three-dimensional structural transformation in a shogi-style by the action of a sheet-rich and infectious abnormal infectious prion protein (PrP Se ).
- PrP Se infectious abnormal infectious prion protein
- Normal prions are expressed on the cell surface in many cells, particularly at high levels in the central and peripheral nervous system -euron. Normal prions are essential for the development of prion diseases, and prion knockout mice have been reported to be resistant to scrapie, a prion disease (Non-patent Document 1).
- PrP e and PrP Se Differences between PrP e and PrP Se ! 1) No difference in amino acid sequence, but partial resistance to proteolytic enzymes, insolubility to surfactants and infection 2) PrP e
- prion diseases 1) sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) of unknown cause, 2) Gerstman syndrome (GSS), familial lethal insomnia (FFI) t sex Or 3) Variants that are derived from eugenic prion diseases (such as CJD after dry dura mater transplantation) and urchin spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) associated with dietary habits classified as infectious CJD (vCJD).
- CJD sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease
- GSS Gerstman syndrome
- FFI familial lethal insomnia
- vCJD urchin spongiform encephalopathy
- Non-Patent Document 2 It has been reported that the humoral immune response to prions functions protectively against prion infection, but it is suggested that antibodies that recognize the three-dimensional structure of normal prions are particularly important.
- Non-Patent Document 3 Non-Patent Document 3
- Non-patent Document 6 Since wild-type mice express normal prions, it is thought that they have acquired tolerance against normal prions.
- Non-patent Document 7 More recently, towards antibodies against PrP Se is an antibody more efficiently than for PrP e, reported that inhibit amplification of PrP Se in cultured cells made, normal prion and abnormal infective prion It was suggested that an antibody against any of these may be a therapeutic drug for prion disease (Non-patent Document 7).

Ampicillin was added and further cultured overnight to induce scFv expression. After completion of the culture, the cells were collected by centrifugation, suspended in 0.2 M Tris-HCl containing 0.5 mM EDTA and 0.5 M Sucrose, and left on ice for 30 minutes.

- the thus-prepared starting material for purification was purified according to a conventional method by affinity chromatography using an anti-E tag antibody. After dialysis with PBS, it was concentrated with Centricon (Amicon) with a molecular weight cut of 10,000, and filtered through a 0.45 ⁇ m filter to obtain a purified sample.
