Therapeutic antibodies: their mechanisms of action and the pathological findings they induce in toxicity studies

Antibodies can swiftly provide therapeutics to target disease-related molecules discovered in genomic research. Antibody engineering techniques have been actively developed and these technological innovations have intensified the development of therapeutic antibodies. From the mid-1990’s, a series of therapeutic antibodies were launched that are now being used in clinic. The disease areas that therapeutic antibodies can target have subsequently expanded, and antibodies are currently utilized as pharmaceuticals for cancer, inflammatory disease, organ transplantation, cardiovascular disease, infection, respiratory disease, ophthalmologic disease, and so on. This paper briefly describes the modes of action of therapeutic antibodies. Several non-clinical study results of the pathological changes induced by therapeutic antibodies are also presented to aid the future assessment of the toxic potential of an antibody developed as a therapeutic.     

抗猪附红细胞体单克隆抗体的制备

以纯化的猪附红细胞体免疫BALB/c小鼠,运用淋巴细胞杂交瘤技术进行细胞融合,并用间接ELISA方法进行筛选,经过间接ELISA方法、免疫印迹和间接免疫荧光试验进行鉴定,共获得5株分泌抗猪附红细胞体单克隆抗体的杂交瘤细胞,分别命名为1H1、1H2、3A5、5B1和7E11,其单抗亚类鉴定分别属于IgG2b、IgG1、IgG2b、IgG2b和IgG2b。这5株McAb均能与猪附红细胞体全菌蛋白发生特异性反应,而不与猪肺炎支原体、猪链球菌、大肠杆菌和猪繁殖与呼吸综合征病毒发生反应,并且1H1、3A5和5B1能识别同一抗原位点,1H2和7E11识别另一抗原位点。     

麋鹿重组朊蛋白单克隆抗体的制备及初步鉴定

为研制鹿慢性消耗性疾病(chronic wasting disease,CWD)单克隆抗体,本研究以原核表达后经纯化的麋鹿重组成熟朊蛋白(PrP^c)为免疫原免疫PrP^c基因敲除小鼠(PrP^c-null mice)。两次加强免疫后,利用淋巴细胞杂交瘤技术,取脾细胞与SP2/0骨髓瘤细胞进行细胞融合,间接ELISA方法筛选阳性杂交瘤细胞,采用3次有限稀释法实现杂交瘤细胞的亚克隆,筛选出5株能稳定分泌针对麋鹿重组成熟朊蛋白特异性单克隆杭体(McAbs)的杂交瘤细胞株5A5、3B2、6D12、5E3、1F5,其腹水ELISA效价均达到1∶10000以上。经鉴定,5株单抗均为IgG抗体,5A5、6D12、5E3株为IgG1亚类,3B2、1F5株为IgG2a亚类。Western blotting鉴定结果表明,获得的McAbs均能特异性识别麋鹿重组成熟朊蛋白和健康麋鹿脑组织匀浆中的PrP^c。本研究制备了CWD腹水McAbs,同时也为CWD的研究及其诊断方法的建立奠定了基础。     

网状内皮组织增生病病毒特异性杂交瘤细胞培养液中单克隆抗体的效价动态

为获取网状内皮组织增生病病毒(REV)单克隆抗体的最高抗体滴度,在含10%胎牛血清的DMEM培养液中培养对REV特异性的杂交瘤细胞株11B154。每1 mL培养液中平均含0.65×106 个活细胞,于37 ℃在含7% CO2的培养箱中继续培养。在24、48、72和96 h后,每1 mL培养液中的平均总细胞数和活细胞数分别是:1.13×106和1.03×106 (活细胞占94.5%)、3.42×106和2.48×106(活细胞占72.5%)、2.6×106和0.98×106 (活细胞占37.7%)、2.47×106和0.53×106(活细胞占21.5%)。同时用细胞培养上清液对REV感染的鸡胚成纤维细胞作间接荧光抗体试验,在培养24、48、72和96 h后上清液中平均抗体效价分别是1:67、1:133、1:67及1:33。结果表明,培养48 h后,当细胞总数及活细胞总数最高但活细胞百分比开始下降时的培养液中抗体效价最高。该研究结果可作为用细胞培养方法大批量生产抗REV单抗的技术参数。

将14日龄SPF鸡分为3组,每组20羽。第一组:口服鸡传染性法氏囊炎B87株活疫苗(0.1mL/羽);第二组:口服鸡传染性法氏囊炎V877株活疫苗(0.1mL/羽);第三组口服等量灭菌生理盐水,为对照组。在规定时间内采血分离血清,用ELISA法检测各组鸡血清抗体。结果表明,两种疫苗均能获得保护性抗体,B87株产生的抗体水平高于V877株。     

禽霍乱免疫母鸡血清抗体和蛋黄抗体消长规律及其相互关系的研究

通过对禽霍乱菌苗免疫产蛋母鸡的血清和蛋黄的抗体定时检测后发现，免疫母鸡的血清抗体和蛋黄抗体的升降趋势基本一致（ｒ＝０．９４），但后者较前者迟后３～６ｄ；血清抗体和蛋黄抗体的滴度分别在加强免疫后的１～３ｄ和３～６ｄ都有不同程度下降，加强免疫前的滴度越高，免疫后的滴度下降幅度越大；蛋黄抗体水平普遍比血清抗体水平低，两者间的差异极显著（Ｐ＜０．０１），这可能是与禽多杀性巴氏杆菌本身的主要抗原成分（ＴＩ抗原）在鸡体内主要产金ＩｇＭ有关。

Ligand-binding characteristics of feline insulin-binding immunoglobulin G

Polyclonal immunoglobulin (Ig) G autoantibodies against insulin have been identified in sera of healthy cats. We purified and fractionated insulin-binding IgGs from cat sera by affinity chromatography and analyzed affinity of insulin-binding IgGs for insulin and their epitopes. Following the passing of fraction A, which did not bind to insulin, insulin-binding IgGs were eluted into two fractions, B and C, by affinity chromatography using a column fixed with bovine insulin. Dissociation constant (KD) values between insulin-binding IgGs and insulin, determined by surface plasmon resonance analysis (Biacore™system), were 1.64e⁻⁴ M for fraction B (low affinity IgGs) and 2e⁻⁵ M for fraction C (high affinity IgGs). Epitope analysis was conducted using 16 peptide fragments synthesized in concord with the amino acid sequence of feline insulin by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Fractions B and C showed higher absorbance (affinity) of the peptide fragment of 10 amino acid residues at the carboxyl-terminal of the B chain (peptide No. 19), followed by peptide fragments of 6 to 15 amino acid residues of the B chain (peptide No. 8). Fraction C showed a higher absorbance to 7 to 16 amino acid residues of the B chain (peptide No. 5) compared with the absorbance of fraction B. Polyclonal insulin-binding IgGs may form a macromolecule complex with insulin through the multiple affinity sites of IgG molecules. Feline insulin-binding IgGs are multifocal and may be composed of multiple IgG components and insulin.
