Abstract: Aim To express human-mouse chimeric genetic engineering antibody of monoclonal antibody(mAb)LC-1 to human pulmonary carcinoma. Methods VL and VH genes of the mAb LC-1 were cloned into plasmid pSW1 and then plasmid pLC-1 expressing human-mouse chimeric Fab fragment gene of the mAb LC-1 was constructed. The plasmid pLC-1 was transformed into E.coli TG-1 and expressed in it. Results Restriction enzyme digestion showed that the VL and VH genes of the mAb LC-1 were inserted into plasmid pSW1 in correct direction. Expression products of plasmid pSW1 in E.coli TG-1 could compete against mAb LC-1 in binding to antigen. Conclusion Human-mouse chimeric genetic engineering antibody to human pulmonary carcinoma is successfully expressed, with higher affinity activity.

传统的Fab片段是将小鼠腹水中的mAb,经透析、提纯、酶切而得到,操作较繁。而原核表达系统则具有独特的优点,即操作简便、表达量大和费用低廉等。1988年,Skerra等〔1〕用大肠杆菌表达了Fv基因片段。实验证明,VL和VH都能正确地折叠,并可聚合成有功能的Fv。对VL和VH的蛋白测序证实,细菌对信号肽能正确地切除。Better等〔2〕也报道了有结合活性的Fab片段。此后,国际上许多实验室都用细菌来表达Fab片段。本实验室研制的mAb LC-1是分泌小鼠IgM的mAb,能对4种不同病理类型的肺癌起反应〔3〕。我们还构建了表达抗人肺癌mAb LC-1人鼠嵌合Fab片段基因的质粒pLC-1,并对表达的嵌合Fab片段做了初步的分析鉴定。
1 材料和方法
1.1 材料 大肠杆菌TG1由本实验室保存。pSW1质粒由英国Winter实验室构建,本所叶敏教授惠赠;质粒pSW1是表达人-鼠嵌合Fab片段基因的质粒,VL和VH为鼠源性的。CH为人源性HuCH1,CL为人源性HuCκ。嵌合性重链和嵌合性轻链分别由分泌到细菌周质的pelB信号肽引导,并都处在同一乳糖操纵子的控制下。人肺腺癌细胞株SPC-A-1细胞和分泌mAb LC-1的杂交瘤细胞株,均由本实验室提供。从LC-1杂交瘤细胞提取总RNA,经RT-PCR扩增并测序的VH基因和VL基因,分别以pBluescript-VH和pBluescript-VL的形式插入pBluescript质粒中〔4〕,由本实验室保存。限制酶Pst I,BstE II,Sac I和Xho I,以及T4DNA连接酶和低熔点胶,均为Promega公司的产品。酶标记的羊抗鼠IgM为Sigma公司产品。
1.2 方法
1.2.1 mAb LC-1人鼠嵌合Fab片段基因表达质粒的构建 用Sac I和Xho I双酶切质粒pBluescript-VL质粒,低熔点胶回收小片段;再用同样的双酶切质粒pSW1,回收大片段。将两者连接起来,构建成质粒pSW-VL,并按文献〔5〕的方法,转化大肠杆菌。用Pst I和BstE II对pSW-VL双酶切,并用低熔点胶回收大片段;再用同样的酶双酶切从质粒pBluescript-VH中,扩增的VH基因的PCR产物。将两者连接起来,构建成质粒pLC-1,转化大肠杆菌TG1。
1.2.2 细菌周质蛋白的抽提 挑取单个细菌克隆,接种于入LB培养液中,于37℃以250r/min振摇培养至A600nm为0.8。将此菌液以1/10的量接种入2×TY培养液(含终浓度为1 mmol/L的IPTG)中,37℃ 250 r/min振摇2.5 h。细菌周质蛋白的抽提按文献〔1〕的方法进行,抽提液装入透析袋,4℃过夜。
1.2.3 蛋白电泳 蛋白的还原性和非还原性SDS-PAGE,按文献〔6〕的方法进行。
1.2.4 竞争ELISA 以5万个SPC-A-1细胞/孔包被96孔板,按常规进行竞争ELISA。

2.1 质粒pLC-1的构建 质粒pLC-1的构建见图1。我们分别用Pst I和BstE II双酶切及Sac I,Xho I双酶切,能切出相应的相对分子质量的条带,证明LC-1的VL基因和VH基因已被正确地插入到质粒pSW1中(图2)。

2.2 蛋白电泳 从转染pLC-1的细菌表达物的还原性SDS-PAGE中可看到,在相对分子质量(Mr)为28处和23处有蛋白条带。从扫描图上也可以看到同样的峰值,和预期的嵌合性重链和嵌合性轻链的Mr相一致。而对照TG1细菌在该Mr处则没有蛋白条带。从转染pLC-1的细菌表达物的非还原性SDS-PAGE凝胶上可看出,转染pLC-1的细菌的Mr为51处有蛋白条带(图3)。从扫描图谱上也可看到同样的峰值,和预期的嵌合Fab片段的Mr相一致,而对照TG1细菌在该处没有蛋白条带(图4)。
2.3 竞争ELISA 所获结果表明,转染pLC-1的细菌的表达的Fab嵌合抗体对mAb LC-1有较强的竞争结合抗原的活性(图5),各组浓度依赖的A600nm值曲线见图6。
