Definitions
- the present invention relates to a cytotoxic assay method. More specifically, the present invention relates to a cytotoxic assay method, a method for screening a therapeutic agent for an immune-related disease, and a kit for screening a therapeutic agent for an immune-related disease.
- the present application claims priority based on Japanese Patent Application No. 2019-144490 filed in Japan on August 6, 2019, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
- cytotoxic T cells As an in vitro experimental method for measuring the activity of cytotoxic T cells, a cytotoxic assay is known in which cytotoxic T cells and target cells are co-cultured to detect the number of damaged cells (for example, non-cytotoxic T cells). See Patent Document 1).
- cytotoxic T cells it is necessary to activate the cytotoxic T cells in advance, and it is necessary to prepare cells that stimulate the cytotoxic T cells in addition to the cytotoxic T cells.
- cells that stimulate cytotoxic T cells spleen cells of mice with different major histocompatibility complex (MHC) phenotypes and spleen cells of allogeneic mice immunized with antigen are used, although they differ depending on the experimental system. It is a very complicated experimental system.
- MHC major histocompatibility complex
- Non-Patent Document 2 a simple cytotoxic assay system that does not require stimulation of cytotoxic T cells.
- an object of the present invention is to provide a cytotoxic assay method capable of preparing more cytotoxic T cells.
- the present invention includes the following aspects.
- T cell receptor gene introduction A step of co-culturing a cytotoxic T cell derived from a non-human animal and a target cell labeled with a labeling substance and recognized as the cytotoxic T cell in a buffer solution.
- a step of measuring the labeling substance released from the target cell into the buffer solution the step of measuring the amount of the labeling substance indicating the cytotoxic activity of the cytotoxic T cell.
- a cytotoxic assay method wherein the cytotoxic T cells are cells derived from the lymph nodes of the non-human animal.
- the cytotoxic assay method according to [1] wherein the T cell receptor gene-introduced non-human animal has a gene mutation lacking T cells.
- the target cells are EL-4 cell lines derived from mouse T-cell lymphoma, which presented a peptide-MHC class I complex consisting of the amino acid sequence of SIINFEKL (SEQ ID NO: 1), [1] to [4]. ] The cytotoxic assay method according to any one of.
- the measured amount of the labeling substance is the labeling substance in the absence of the test substance.
- a significant increase or decrease in comparison to the amount of the test substance comprises a step indicating that the test substance is a therapeutic agent for an immune-related disease, wherein the cytotoxic T cells are lymph nodes of the non-human animal.
- a method for screening a therapeutic agent for an immune-related disease which is a cell derived from a node. [9] For screening of therapeutic agents for immune-related diseases, including cytotoxic T cells derived from lymph nodes of non-human animals into which a T cell receptor gene has been introduced and target cells recognized by the cytotoxic T cells. kit.
- cytotoxic assay method capable of preparing more cytotoxic T cells.
- the present invention buffers cytotoxic T cells derived from a non-human animal into which a T cell receptor gene has been introduced and target cells labeled with a labeling substance and recognized by the cytotoxic T cells.
- a step of co-culturing in the cells and a step of measuring the labeling substance released from the target cells into the buffer, and the measured amount of the labeling substance determines the cytotoxic activity of the cytotoxic T cells.
- a cytotoxic assay method comprising the steps shown, wherein the cytotoxic T cells are cells derived from the lymph nodes of the non-human animal.
- Non-Patent Document 2 cytotoxic T cells were recovered from the spleen of a non-human animal.
- the inventors have found that collecting cytotoxic T cells from the lymph nodes of non-human animals can prepare more cytotoxic T cells from the same number of non-human animals. Completed the invention.
- the number of cells recovered from the spleen of a non-human animal and the number of cells recovered from the lymph nodes of a non-human animal are not so different.
- lymph node-derived cytotoxic T cells were more proliferative than spleen-derived cytotoxic T cells, resulting in more. It was clarified that cytotoxic T cells of the above were obtained.
- cytotoxic assay method of the present embodiment cells derived from non-human animals into which the T cell receptor gene has been introduced are used as cytotoxic T cells. This allows all cytotoxic T cells to have the introduced T cell receptor, simplifying the cytotoxic assay system.
- non-human animals examples include mice, rats and the like.
- the T cell receptor gene is preferably introduced so that it can be expressed in cytotoxic T cells.
- the T cell receptor gene to be transferred into a non-human animal is not particularly limited, but it is preferable that the antigen peptide-major histocompatibility complex (Major Histocompatibility Complex, MHC) complex to be recognized has been clarified.
- MHC Major Histocompatibility Complex
- T cells into which such a T cell receptor gene has been introduced include a complex of a peptide consisting of the 258-265th amino acid sequence (SIINFEKL, SEQ ID NO: 1) of obalbumin and an MHC class I molecule. Recognizing OT-I cells, OT-II cells recognizing a complex of a peptide consisting of amino acid sequence 323-339 of obalbumin and MHC class II molecule, amino acid sequence 9-23 of insulin ⁇ chain Examples include NOD T cells that recognize a complex of MHC molecule and MHC molecule.
- T cell receptor gene-introduced non-human animals include OT-I mice, OT-II mice, NOD mice and the like.
- the T cell receptor gene-introduced non-human animal has a gene mutation lacking T cells.
- a non-human animal having a T cell receptor gene transfer having such a mutation has no T cells other than the T cell having the gene-transfected T cell receptor. Therefore, the cytotoxic T cells prepared from this non-human animal will have only the surely introduced T cell receptor, and the cytotoxic assay system can be simplified.
- T cell-deficient gene-abnormal mouse examples include a Rag1 gene-deficient mouse, a Rag2 gene-deficient mouse, and a SCID mouse.
- the target cell recognized by the cytotoxic T cell is a cell that receives cytotoxicity by the above-mentioned cytotoxic T cell.
