Definitions
- the present invention broadly relates to monoclonal antibodies or fragments thereof targeting tetranor-PGDM, and uses thereof.
- a food allergy is a disease that causes symptoms such as hives, diarrhea, and vomiting due to ingested foods, and can even cause anaphylaxis, which can lead to death.
- the number of patients with this disease, which is common in children, is rapidly increasing, and its aggravation has become a serious problem.
- tetranor - PGDM (9 ⁇ -hydroxy-11,15-dioxo-13,14-dihydro-2,3,4,5-tetranor-prostan-1,20-dioic acid) is excreted (Patent Document 1).
- Patent Document 1 tetranor - PGDM (9 ⁇ -hydroxy-11,15-dioxo-13,14-dihydro-2,3,4,5-tetranor-prostan-1,20-dioic acid
- polyclonal antibodies against tetranor-PGDM are known (https://www.caymanchem.com/product/501001/tetranor-pgdm-elisa-kit; US Patent Application Publication No. 2012/0021437 (Patent Document 2) ), polyclonal antibodies are inferior to monoclonal antibodies in specificity, manufacturing stability, and reproducibility of measurement. In addition to these quality issues, polyclonal antibodies are not applicable for testing human disease due to lot-to-lot variability in performance.
- tetranor-PGDM has a small molecular weight as an antigen and is difficult for antibodies to recognize. Antibody development is difficult.
- the present inventors prepared a complex of tetranor-PGDM and keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) by deleting genes encoding two types of hematopoietic-type and lipocalin-type PGD 2 synthetases, resulting in PGD 2 and its By immunizing mice that do not produce the metabolite tetranor-PGDM, we succeeded in creating a monoclonal antibody specific to tetranor-PGDM for the first time.
- KLH keyhole limpet hemocyanin
- Patent Document 2 describes a method for producing a monoclonal antibody against tetranor-PGDM by injecting a complex of tetranor-PGDM and keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) into wild-type mice. There is no specific description of the antibodies identified. When the present inventor similarly immunized wild-type mice, no monoclonal antibody specific to tetranor-PGDM was obtained.
- KLH keyhole limpet hemocyanin
- Patent Document 2 shows the cross-reactivity of the antibody against tetranor-PGDM, which is considered to be a polyclonal antibody (paragraph 0347), it binds not only to tetranor-PGDM but also to tetranor-PGEM ( Tetranor-PGJM 376%; Tetranor-PGDM 100%; Tetranor-PGEM 0.3%) Monoclonal antibodies of the invention that do not substantially bind to tetranor-PGEM (e.g. Tetranor-PGJM 563%; Tetranor-PGDM 100%; Tetranor -PGEM 0.00%).
- tetranor-PGJM Both are common in that they bind to tetranor-PGJM, but tetranor-PGJM is hardly produced in vivo and is not excreted in urine.
- tetranor-PGEM is also produced in large amounts in the body and is also detected in urine, so whether or not it binds to tetranor-PGEM is an extremely important point of difference. Such differences can be attributed, for example, to CDR differences.

- the resulting plasmid was introduced into the E. coli DH5 ⁇ strain.
- a plasmid was extracted from the resulting transformant using FastGene Plasmid Mini Kit (manufactured by Nippon Genetics, Cat#FG-90502), and the base sequence was analyzed. As a result, it was confirmed that full-length VH cDNA and VL cDNA having an ATG sequence presumed to be an initiation codon at the 5' end of the cDNA were obtained.
- a known concentration of tetranor-PGDM was added to the reproducibility test assay solution and measured. Simultaneous reproducibility was obtained from 9 measurements, and inter-day reproducibility was obtained by performing measurement for 3 days.
- ⁇ T2 X2/(X + G)2 ⁇ ( ⁇ X2 + ⁇ G2 ) + ⁇ B2 + ⁇ S2 + ( ⁇ W/f(X) ⁇ 100) 2
- G is the amount of labeled antigen
- ⁇ X, ⁇ G, ⁇ B, and ⁇ S are the RSDs of the pipette volumes of analyte labeled antigen, antibody, and substrate, respectively, and ⁇ S was two-thirds the RSD of the pipette volume of chromogen-substrate solution.
- ⁇ W is the SD of the intrinsic absorbance between the wells of the plate.
- ⁇ T was calculated from the blank-subtracted measurements.
- ⁇ B value the weight of the liquid dispensed with a pipette was measured 20 times, and the RSD was calculated.
- SPE solid-phase extraction
- 0.4 mL of urine sample was diluted to 0.8 mL with 0.1% (v/v) formic acid. This was applied to an SPE cartridge column (HLB ⁇ Elution plate, Waters, MA, USA) pretreated with 200 ⁇ L of acetonitrile and distilled water. After washing the column with 200 ⁇ L of distilled water and 200 ⁇ L of hexane, the lipid fraction was eluted with 50 ⁇ L of acetonitrile. The eluate was collected, dried in vacuo, and the resulting residue redissolved in 0.4 mL assay solution. Next, the sample solution containing tetranor-PGDM was subjected to EIA. At the same time, tetranor-PGDM was measured by LC-MS/MS [2, 3]. The recovery from SPE determined by LC-MS/MS was 77.1% (Table 3).
- Hybridomas producing monoclonal antibodies (Mab) against tetranor-PGDM were obtained from immunized mouse splenocytes. The 60-141 Mab was then purified and applied in a competitive EIA.
- the IC50 value was 1.79 ⁇ 0.36 from the tetranor-PGDM competition curve (Fig. 1C).
- Verification of EIA Tetranor-PGDM was serially diluted with the assay solution, and the detection limit of tetranor-PGDM was examined.
- the limit of detection (LOD) was 0.0498 ng/mL and range of quantification (ROQ) values were 0.252–20.2 ng/mL.
- LOD and ROQ were defined as the concentration of 30% RSD and the concentration area of ⁇ 10% RSD, respectively (Fig. 1D).
- the recovery rate of tetranor-PGDM was 89.4% to 111.7%. All recoveries and coefficients of variation of tetranor-PGDM were within acceptable limits.
- Cross-reactivity of generated Mabs to tetranor-PGDM In addition to tetranor-PGDM, other urinary PG metabolites such as tetranor-PGEM and tetranor-PGFM are present in urine (Fig. 2). Cross-reactivity to tetranor-PGEM, tetranor-PGAM, and tetranor-PGFM was then assessed. Cross-reactivity with tetranor-PGEM, tetranor-PGFM, and tetranor-PGAM was 0.00%, 0.00%, and 1.17%, respectively (Table 5). The established EIA method showed no significant cross-reactivity with these metabolites, suggesting that this EIA method can measure urinary tetranor-PGDM with sufficient specificity.
- tetranor-PGDM Determination of tetranor-PGDM in artificial urine
- a known amount of tetranor-PGDM was added to artificial urine, and the recovery of tetranor-PGDM was determined by a competitive EIA method using 60-141MAb.
- Dilution linearity is an indicator of the effectiveness of the EIA method using an anti-tetranor-PGDM monoclonal antibody.
- an artificial urine sample containing 20 ng/mL of tetranor-PGDM was serially diluted, and the tetranor-PGDM recovery rate by the antibody was measured.
- the measured values of tetranor-PGDM were not linearly correlated with the dilution factor.
- the recovery of tetranor-PGDM was less than 30.2% (Fig. 3A).
- tetranor-PGDM Different concentrations of tetranor-PGDM were added to artificial urine, and the recovery rate was determined. Recoveries for tetranor-PGDM ranged from 82.3% to 113.5%. All tetranor-PGDM recoveries were within acceptable limits (Table 6). The concentrations of tetranor-PGDM were 0.85 (AU-1) and 5.95 (AU-2).
- the urinary tetranor-PGDM concentration is 1.5 ⁇ 0.3 ng/mg creatinine (Cre) [1].
- the urinary Cre concentration is approximately 1 mg/mL [11].
- the optimal cut-off value for urinary tetranor-PGDM in an oral challenge test in food allergy patients was 2.25 ng/mg Cre [3].
- LOQ values were lower than cutoff values.
- the urinary tetranor-PGDM concentration in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy was reported to be 9.7 ng / mg Cre [4].
- tetranor-PGEM and tetranor-PGFM were 8-15 ng/mg Cre and 11-59 ng/mL, respectively [12, 13].
- This competitive EIA method showed minimal cross-reactivity with other tetranor-PG metabolites.
- Mice were immunized with KLH-conjugated tetranor-PGDM prepared by conjugating KLH to the carboxyl groups of tetranor-PGDM via NHS/EDC-mediated esterification. It is generally believed that antibodies best recognize the portion of the hapten that is furthest away from the conjugate bond.
- the epitope of the 60-141 antibody is believed to be on the cyclopentane ring of tetranor-PGDM. Furthermore, the 60-141 antibody did not recognize tetranor-PGEM, tetranor-PGFM, or tetranor-PGAM without the 11-keto group.
- the 60-141 antibody had sufficiently high specificity for PGDM compared to other lipids, with 0.631% for tetranor-PGEM, 3.876% for tetranor-PGAM, and ⁇ 0.003% for tetranor-PGFM. rice field.

マウス
CRISPR / Casシステムを応用したオフセットニッキング法を用いて、L-PGDS(配列番号84)の第65番目に位置するシステインをセリンに置き換えたL-PGDS C65S変異マウスを作製した。具体的には、標的胚性幹細胞のL-PGDSのエクソン-3をターゲティングベクターとし、Cas9ニッカーゼ、ガイドRNAを使用して切断後、ベクターDNAを挿入することで、TGC(システイン)をAGC(セリン)に変換した。この細胞をICR系統マウスの8細胞期胚にマイクロインジェクションすることでL-PGDS C65S変異マウスが得られた。
L-PGDS C65Sマウスに、Keyhole limpet hemocyanin(KLH)結合tetranor-PGDMを皮下投与することで免疫を行った。 免疫したマウスの脾細胞を、標準的なプロトコルで骨髄腫(ミエローマ)細胞(SP2 / 0-Ag14)と融合させた[6]。 陽性ハイブリドーマを、限界希釈法によりクローン化した。 IgG抗体はハイブリドーマ培養上清の無血清培地から精製した。
抗tetranor-PGDMモノクローナル抗体のVH及びVLをコードする遺伝子配列の単離
各抗体を産生するハイブリドーマ1x106個より、TRI Reagent(Molecular Research Center, Inc.社製、Cat#TR118)を用いて、total RNAを調製した。
tetranor-PGDMモノクローナル抗体の反応性は、競合EIAにより検討した。 抗マウスヤギIgG抗体固相化96wellプレート(Cayman Chemical、ミシガン州、米国)に、さまざまな濃度のtetranor-PGDMモノクローナル抗体を1時間インキュベートした。 次に、プレートを、0.5%ウシ血清アルブミン(BSA)および0.05%(v / v)Tween-20(PBS-T)を含むリン酸緩衝生理食塩水(PBS-T)で3回洗浄した。 続いて、tetranor-PGDM結合アセチルコリンエステラーゼトレーサー(トレーサー)を一晩インキュベートした。 次に、プレートをPBS-Tで3回洗浄し、Ellman試薬と1時間インキュベートした。 マイクロプレートリーダー(Perkin Elmer、マサチューセッツ州、米国)で405nmの吸光度を測定した。プロスタグランジン代謝物に対するtetranor-PGDMの選択性は、tetranor-PGEM、tetranor-PGAM、およびtetranor-PGFMを用いた競合EIAにより検討した。
pH(5.0、6.0、6.5、7.0、7.5、8.0、および9.0)とイオン強度(10mMリン酸緩衝液中のNaCl含有量)がEIAの性能に及ぼす影響を検討した。 各条件下で、tetranor-PGDMの標準阻害曲線をプロットした。 交差反応性は、次の式に基づいて計算した:
交差反応性(%)=(tetranor-PGDMのIC50/その他のtetranor-PGM のIC50)×100。
アッセイ溶液に既知濃度のtetranor-PGDMを添加し、測定した。同時再現性は9回の測定から求め、日差再現性は測定を3日間実施することで求めた。
分析対象物の濃度と吸光度のデータセットは、a、b、c、およびdのフィッティングパラメータを含む次の4パラメータロジスティック方程式でフィッティングした。 [7、8]
f(X)=(a - d) /(1 +(X / c)b)+ d
林らによって提案されたモデル[9]に基づいて、分析全体(ρT)の相対標準偏差(RSD)は、次式で表される。
ρT2= X2 /(X + G)2×(ρX2+ρG2)+ρB2+ρS2+(σW/ f(X)×100)2[9]
この式で、Gは標識された抗原の量であり、ρX、ρG、ρB、およびρSは、それぞれ抗原、抗体、および基質とラベル付けされた、分析対象物のピペットボリュームのRSDであり、ρSは、ピペット容量の色原体基質溶液のRSDの3分の2であった。 σWは、プレートのウェル間の固有の吸光度のSDである。標識抗原の濃度が不明なので、競合EIAの不確実性の近似式ρT2=ρB2+(σW/ f(X)×100)2を使用した[9]。ρB= 0.782116およびσW= 0.0026。 ρTはブランクを差し引いた測定値から算出した。 ρB値は、ピペットで分取した液体の重量を20回測定し、RSDを算出した。 σW値は、空ウェル(n = 96)の吸光度のウェル間SDから算出した。
人工尿(表2)に、蒸留水に溶解したtetranor-PGDMを添加し、4種類の濃度(1.25、2.5、5.0、および10.0 ng / mL)の尿サンプルを調製した。
競合EIAの最適化
免疫したマウス脾細胞からtetranor-PGDMに対するモノクローナル抗体 (Mab) を産生するハイブリドーマを得た。次に、60-141Mabを精製し、競合EIAに適用した。
アッセイバッファーの最適pHを決定するため、pH 5.0、6.0、6.5、7.0、7.5、8.0、および9.0の時のIC50値はそれぞれ8.6、6.6、5.5、5.6、4.8、5.2、および4.8 ng / mLであった。(図1B)。これらの結果は、この評価系が、中性からわずかにアルカリ性の条件下で、わずかに酸性の条件下よりも感度が高いことを示した。したがって、最適pHはpH7.5に設定した。
Tetranor-PGDMをアッセイ溶液で段階希釈し、tetranor-PGDMの検出限界を検討した。 検出限界(LOD)は0.0498 ng / mL、定量範囲(ROQ)値は0.252~20.2 ng / mLであった。LODおよびROQは、それぞれ30%RSDの濃度および<10%RSDの濃度領域と定義した(図1D)。
尿中には、tetranor-PGDM以外に、tetranor-PGEMやtetranor-PGFMなどの他の尿中PG代謝物が存在する(図2)。 次に、tetranor-PGEM、tetranor-PGAM、およびtetranor-PGFMに対する交差反応性を評価した。tetranor-PGEM、tetranor-PGFM、およびtetranor-PGAMとの交差反応性は、それぞれ0.00%、0.00%、および1.17%であった(表5)。
人工尿中に既知量のtetranor-PGDMを添加し、60-141MAbを用いた競合EIA法でtetranor-PGDMが回収されるかを測定した。
この研究では、tetranor-PGDM測定のため、抗tetranor-PGDMモノクローナル抗体の作成と高感度の競合EIA法を確立した。アッセイ溶液サンプルで、変動係数3.9%~10.4%の高い平均回収率(89.4%~111.7%)が得られた。tetranor-PGDM測定のEIAのROQは0.252~196 20.2 ng / mLであった。サンプルのマトリックス効果は、SPEの使用により排除された。 SPE後、尿サンプルで高い平均回収率(82.3%~113.5%)が得られた。
