このように免疫し、血清中に所望の抗体レベルが上昇するのを確認した後に、哺乳動物から免疫細胞が取り出され、細胞融合に付される。細胞融合に付される好ましい免疫細胞としては、特に脾細胞が挙げられる。
より具体的には、前記細胞融合は例えば、細胞融合促進剤の存在下に通常の栄養培養液中で実施される。融合促進剤としては例えば、ポリエチレングリコール(PEG)、センダイウィルス(HVJ)等が使用され、更に所望により融合効率を高めるためにジメチルスルホキシド等の補助剤を添加使用することもできる。
当該ハイブリドーマは、通常の選択培養液、例えば、HAT培養液(ヒポキサンチン、アミノプテリンおよびチミジンを含む培養液)で培養することにより選択される。当該HAT培養液での培養は、目的とするハイブリドーマ以外の細胞(非融合細胞)が死滅するのに十分な時間、通常数日~数週間継続する。ついで、通常の限界希釈法を実施し、目的とする抗体を産生するハイブリドーマのスクリーニングおよびクローニングが行われる。
このようにして作製されるモノクローナル抗体を産生するハイブリドーマは、通常の培養液中で継代培養することが可能であり、また、液体窒素中で長期保存することが可能である。
例えば、抗IL-6受容体抗体産生ハイブリドーマの作製は、特開平3-139293に開示された方法により行うことができる。PM-1抗体産生ハイブリドーマをBALB/cマウスの腹腔内に注入して腹水を得、この腹水からPM-1抗体を精製する方法や、本ハイブリドーマを適当な培地、例えば、10%ウシ胎児血清、5%BM-Condimed H1(Boehringer Mannheim製)含有RPMI1640培地、ハイブリドーマSFM培地(GIBCO-BRL製)、PFHM-II培地(GIBCO-BRL製)等で培養し、その培養上清からPM-1抗体を精製する方法で行うことができる。
具体的には、目的とする抗体を産生する細胞、例えばハイブリドーマから、抗体の可変(V)領域をコードするmRNAを単離する。mRNAの単離は、公知の方法、例えば、グアニジン超遠心法(Chirgwin, J. M. et al., Biochemistry (1979) 18, 5294-5299 )、AGPC法(Chomczynski, P. et al., Anal. Biochem. (1987)162, 156-159)等により全RNA を調製し、mRNA Purification Kit (Pharmacia製)等を使用してmRNAを調製する。また、QuickPrep mRNA Purification Kit(Pharmacia製)を用いることによりmRNAを直接調製することができる。
目的とする抗体のV領域をコードするDNAが得られれば、これを所望の抗体定常領域(C領域)をコードするDNAと連結し、これを発現ベクターへ組み込む。又は、抗体のV領域をコードするDNAを、抗体C領域のDNAを含む発現ベクターへ組み込んでもよい。
具体的には、マウス抗体のCDRとヒト抗体のフレームワーク領域(FR; framework region)を連結するように設計したDNA配列を、末端部にオーバーラップする部分を有するように作製した数個のオリゴヌクレオチドからPCR法により合成する。得られたDNAを、ヒト抗体C領域をコードするDNAと連結し、次いで発現ベクターに組み込んで、これを宿主に導入し産生させることにより得られる(欧州特許出願公開番号EP 239400、国際特許出願公開番号WO 92-19759参照)。
CDRを介して連結されるヒト抗体のFRは、相補性決定領域が良好な抗原結合部位を形成するものが選択される。必要に応じ、再構成ヒト抗体の相補性決定領域が適切な抗原結合部位を形成するように抗体の可変領域のフレームワーク領域のアミノ酸を置換してもよい(Sato, K.et al., Cancer Res. (1993) 53, 851-856)。
キメラ抗体はヒト以外の哺乳動物由来抗体の可変領域とヒト抗体由来のC領域からなり、またヒト化抗体はヒト以外の哺乳動物由来抗体の相補性決定領域とヒト抗体由来のフレームワーク領域およびC領域からなり、両者はヒト体内における抗原性が低下しているため、本発明に使用される抗体として有用である。
また、ヒト抗体の取得方法としては先に述べた方法のほか、ヒト抗体ライブラリーを用いて、パンニングによりヒト抗体を取得する技術も知られている。例えば、ヒト抗体の可変領域を一本鎖抗体(scFv)としてファージディスプレイ法によりファージの表面に発現させ、抗原に結合するファージを選択することもできる。選択されたファージの遺伝子を解析すれば、抗原に結合するヒト抗体の可変領域をコードするDNA配列を決定することができる。抗原に結合するscFvのDNA配列が明らかになれば、当該配列を含む適当な発現ベクターを作製し、ヒト抗体を取得することができる。これらの方法は既に周知であり、WO92/01047、WO 92/20791、WO 93/06213、WO 93/11236、WO 93/19172、WO 95/01438、WO 95/15388を参考にすることができる。
また、その他に本発明で使用される抗体発現に使用できるプロモーター/エンハンサーとして、レトロウィルス、ポリオーマウィルス、アデノウィルス、シミアンウィルス40(SV40)等のウィルスプロモーター/エンハンサーやヒトエロンゲーションファクター1α(HEF1α)などの哺乳類細胞由来のプロモーター/エンハンサーを用いればよい。
例えば、SV40プロモーター/エンハンサーを使用する場合、Mulliganらの方法(Mulligan, R. C. et al., Nature (1979) 277, 108-114) 、また、HEF1αプロモーター/エンハンサーを使用する場合、Mizushimaらの方法(Mizushima, S. and Nagata, S. Nucleic Acids Res. (1990) 18, 5322 )に従えば容易に実施することができる。
抗体分泌のためのシグナル配列としては、大腸菌のペリプラズムに産生させる場合、pelBシグナル配列(Lei, S. P. et al J. Bacteriol. (1987) 169, 4379-4383)を使用すればよい。ペリプラズムに産生された抗体を分離した後、抗体の構造を適切にリフォールド(refold)して使用する(例えば、WO96/30394を参照)。
哺乳類動物としては、ヤギ、ブタ、ヒツジ、マウス、ウシなどを用いることができる(Vicki Glaser, SPECTRUM Biotechnology Applications, 1993)。また、昆虫としては、カイコを用いることができる。植物を使用する場合、例えばタバコを用いることができる。
これらの動物又は植物に抗体遺伝子を導入し、動物又は植物の体内で抗体を産生させ、回収する。例えば、抗体遺伝子をヤギβカゼインのような乳汁中に固有に産生される蛋白質をコードする遺伝子の途中に挿入して融合遺伝子として調製する。抗体遺伝子が挿入された融合遺伝子を含むDNA断片をヤギの胚へ注入し、この胚を雌のヤギへ導入する。胚を受容したヤギから生まれるトランスジェニックヤギ又はその子孫が産生する乳汁から所望の抗体を得る。トランスジェニックヤギから産生される所望の抗体を含む乳汁量を増加させるために、適宜ホルモンをトランスジェニックヤギに使用してもよい。(Ebert, K.M. et al., Bio/Technology (1994) 12, 699-702)。
また、カイコを用いる場合、目的の抗体遺伝子を挿入したバキュロウィルスをカイコに感染させ、このカイコの体液より所望の抗体を得る(Maeda, S. et al., Nature (1985) 315, 592-594)。さらに、タバコを用いる場合、目的の抗体遺伝子を植物発現用ベクター、例えばpMON530に挿入し、このベクターをAgrobacterium tumefaciensのようなバクテリアに導入する。このバクテリアをタバコ、例えばNicotiana tabacumに感染させ、本タバコの葉より所望の抗体を得る(Julian, K.-C. Ma et al., Eur. J. Immunol.(1994)24, 131-138)。
具体的には、抗体を酵素、例えば、パパイン、ペプシンで処理し抗体断片を生成させるか、又は、これら抗体断片をコードする遺伝子を構築し、これを発現ベクターに導入した後、適当な宿主細胞で発現させる(例えば、Co, M.S. et al., J. Immunol. (1994) 152, 2968-2976、Better, M. & Horwitz, A. H. Methods in Enzymology (1989) 178, 476-496 、Plueckthun, A. & Skerra, A. Methods in Enzymology (1989) 178, 497-515 、Lamoyi, E., Methods in Enzymology (1989) 121, 652-663 、Rousseaux, J. et al., Methods in Enzymology (1989) 121, 663-66、Bird, R. E. et al., TIBTECH (1991) 9, 132-137参照)。
また、一旦scFvをコードするDNAが作製されれば、それらを含有する発現ベクター、および該発現ベクターにより形質転換された宿主を常法に従って得ることができ、また、その宿主を用いて常法に従って、scFvを得ることができる。
これら抗体の断片は、前記と同様にしてその遺伝子を取得し発現させ、宿主により産生させることができる。本発明でいう「抗体」にはこれらの抗体の断片も包含される。
例えば、上記アフィニティークロマトグラフィー以外のクロマトグラフィー、フィルター、限外濾過、塩析、透析等を適宜選択、組み合わせれば、本発明で使用される抗体を分離、精製することができる。クロマトグラフィーとしては、例えば、イオン交換クロマトグラフィー、疎水クロマトグラフィー、ゲルろ過等が挙げられる。これらのクロマトグラフィーはHPLC(High performance liquid chromatography)に適用し得る。また、逆相HPLC(reverse phase HPLC)を用いてもよい。
マウス術後腸管癒着モデルを用いて抗IL-6抗体(MP5-20F3)および抗IL-6受容体抗体(MR16-1)による癒着抑制効果につき検証した。マウス癒着モデルはマウス盲腸に対するバイポーラ電気メスによる短時間アブレーションによるモデルであり、術後7日目の腹腔内癒着形成度によりグレード0~5の6段階(癒着スコア)に分けられた。抗IL-6抗体を術前1日に腹腔内投与(100μg/mouse投与群および1mg/mouse投与群)し、7日目に癒着を検証した。癒着スコア(M±SEM)はPBS投与群では5.00±0.00であり、抗IL-6抗体投与群では4.67±0.648(100μg/mouse投与群)、5.00±0.00 (1mg/mouse投与群)、であり抗体量を増加しても癒着抑制効果は認められなかった。次に抗IL-6受容体抗体(MR16-1)を用いて癒着抑制効果を検証した。術前1日にMR16-1(10mg/mouse)を投与すると、癒着スコアはPBS投与群で4.83±0.17、MR16-1投与群では2.25±0.65と有意に(p=0.006)癒着抑制効果を認めた。さらにコントロール群としてラットIgG (10mg/mouse)を使用して検証すると、癒着スコアはラットIgG群で5.00±0.00、MR16-1投与群では1.00±0.00と有意に(p=0.00005)癒着抑制効果を認めた。病理組織学的検討ではPBS群で認められた腸管癒着部位における線維組織・コラーゲン組織形成、および好中球を中心とする炎症細胞浸潤の著明な減少をMR16-1投与群で認め、癒着スコア改善の肉眼所見と一致していた。また術後1日目の障害腸管組織における好中球誘導ケモカイン(CXCL、CXCL2)の著明な減少を認めた。さらに好中球に対する中和抗体(抗Ly6G抗体)を用いて同様の実験を実施すると抗Ly6G抗体投与群では著明な癒着抑制(p=0.0004)が認められた。これらの結果より抗IL-6受容体抗体(MR16-1)のマウス腸管癒着モデルにおける癒着抑制効果が実証された。
以下、これらの実証結果を詳細に説明する。
マウスは10週齢の雌BALB/cマウス(1匹あたりの体重:20g)を用いた。腸管癒着モデルはマウス盲腸に対するバイポーラ電気メス焼却法を用いた(Nat Med. 14:437-441, 2008参照)。簡潔に述べると、5 mmの腹部正中切開創より盲腸を体外に露出、バイポーラ電気メスにて約1秒間接触(30W, 500kHz,150Ω)、焼却後ただちに腹腔内に盲腸を戻し、腹壁は一層縫合、4-0プロリン糸にて閉腹した。腸管癒着の評価は術後7日目にマウスを犠死させ、肉眼的に癒着スコア0~5の6段階評価にてスコア判定を実施した(Surgery 120:866-870, 1996参照)。スコア0~5の内容は以下のとおりである。
0:癒着無し。
1:1ケ所の薄い膜状癒着形成。
2:2ケ所以上の薄い膜状癒着形成。
3:局所的な厚い癒着形成。
4:播種状に付着した厚い癒着形成または2ケ所以上の厚い癒着形成。
5:極めて厚く血管新生を伴う癒着形成または2ケ所以上の局所的に厚い癒着形成。
PBS投与群においては、MP5-20F3 100μg/mouse投与群に対するコントロール群としてのPBS投与群(n=4)、およびMP5-20F3 1mg/mouse投与群に対するコントロール群としてのPBS投与群(n=4)のいずれにおいても、癒着スコア5の強度の癒着が認められた(図1)。MP5-20F3投与群の癒着スコアは、4.67±0.648(100μg/mouse投与群: n=3)および5.00±0.00 (1mg/mouse投与群: n=4)であり、抗体量を増加しても癒着抑制効果は認められなかった(図2、図3)。
コントロール群としてのPBS投与群(n=10)の癒着スコア4.83±0.167、10mg/ml/mouse のMR16-1投与群(n=8)の癒着スコアは2.25±0.648であり、10mg/ml/mouse のMR16-1投与による有意な(p=0.006)癒着抑制効果が認められた(図4、図5)。
さらにコントロール群としてラットIgG(10mg/mouse)を使用して検証したところ、ラットIgG投与群(n=4)の癒着スコアは5.00±0.00、10mg/ml/mouse のMR16-1投与群(n=3)の癒着スコアは1.00±0.00であり、10mg/ml/mouse のMR16-1投与による有意な(p=0.00005)癒着抑制効果が認められた(図6)。
以上のMR16-1投与実験の結果をまとめると(図7)、10mg/ml/mouseのMR16-1投与群(n=11)はPBS投与群(n=10)に比較して有意に(p=0.00002)癒着抑制効果を認め、またラットIgGの10mg投与群(n=4)に比較しても有意に(p=0.003)癒着抑制効果を認めた。
MR16-1投与群では、HE染色でも線維免疫染色でも著明な炎症所見・線維組織の減少が認められた。好中球の組織浸潤を免疫染色(Ly-6G染色)で検討したところ、PBS投与群(図8)に比べて、10mg/ml/mouseのMR16-1投与群(図9)では、腸管癒着部・非癒着部のいずれにおいても、好中球の組織浸潤の著明な減少が認められた。
また、好中球遊走に関するケモカインであるCXCL1/CXCL2の障害腸管部におけるmRNA発現をreal time PCRで測定したところ、術後1日目、7日目のいずれにおいても、MR16-1の10mg/mouse投与群において、CXCL1/CXCL2発現量の著明な減少が認められた(図10、図11)。
ラットIgG投与群(n=6)の癒着スコアは4.83±0.24であったが、抗Ly-6G抗体投与群(n=6)の癒着スコアは2.17±0.67であり、抗Ly-6G抗体投与による有意な(p=0.0004)癒着抑制効果が認められた(図12)。
MR16-1の創傷治癒抑制効果を、皮膚生検パンチを用いた皮膚全層欠損モデルで調べた。
(方法)
動物はBalbcマウス(♂,8週齢)を用い、生検パンチを用いた皮膚欠損処置を行う24時間前に、Rat IgG 10mgを腹腔内投与するコントロール群( n=4 )、MR16-1(10mg)を腹腔内投与する対象群( n=4 ) を作成した。皮膚欠損処置はイソフルラン(濃度:3%,キャリアガス:酸素30%,笑気ガス70%)吸入麻酔下に背部を剃毛し、消毒用エタノールを用いて清拭した後、皮膚生検パンチ(二プロ株式会社、大阪)を用いて、直径約5mmの皮膚を摘出した。処置当日より経時的に皮膚欠損部の面積を測定し、創傷治癒の評価を行い、Rat IgG 投与群とMR16-1投与群との比較によりMR16-1の創傷治癒抑制効果を調べた。 なお、面積測定は、皮膚欠損部を写真に取った後、J-image ( free soft from NIH) にて測定した。
(結果)
処置当日のRat IgG投与群およびMR16-1投与群の皮膚欠損の面積は19.68±0.75mm2、19.20±0.53mm2であった( Fig.1 and 2 )。処置後3日目および7日目のRat IgG投与群およびMR16-1投与群の皮膚欠損面積は9.98±1.11mm2、10.21±0.65mm2 (3日目) 1.6±0.291.11mm2、1.07±0.09mm2 (7日目)で、両群に創傷治癒における有意差は認めなかった( 図13及び 図14)。以上の結果より、MR16-1による皮膚欠損創傷治癒の有意な抑制効果は認めなかった。
したがって、IL-6受容体抗体を投与することにより、手術後の癒着形成が抑制されるとともに侵襲部位の創傷治癒が達成されることが期待される。
