目的 建立降低抗体依赖性增强(antibody-dependent enhancement,ADE)效应的抗体表达系统,以期降低目标抗体的ADE效应。 方法 对哺乳细胞抗体表达载体Fc区进行L234A和L235A点突变,建立抗体表达载体pFRT-IgG1κ-FcM。选取前期工作中获得的1株具有显著ADE效应的抗体Wt-WNV利用pFRT-IgG1κ-FcM系统进行表达,获得突变后抗体FcM-WNV。ELISA检测FcM-WNV与靶抗原西尼罗病毒包膜蛋白DⅢ(West Nile virus envelope protein-DⅢ,WNV E-DⅢ)的结合,流式细胞术分析FcM-WNV与人高亲和力IgG Fc受体hFcγRⅠ(hCD64)的结合。假病毒感染宿主细胞(BHK21和K562)试验检测FcM-WNV的体外中和活性。 结果 FcM-WNV与Wt-WNV表达水平相当,能识别结合WNV E-DⅢ,且呈浓度依赖效应;与Wt-WNV相比,FcM-WNV与hCD64的结合力明显减弱,表现为荧光强度明显降低;与前期实验结果一致,Wt-WNV在5 μg/ml的浓度下具有明显增强WNV假病毒感染K562细胞的作用,而FcM-WNV在5 μg/ml浓度下,能有效阻断假病毒感染K562和BHK21细胞。 结论 本研究建立的抗体表达系统可有效降低目标抗体的ADE效应。 Objective To establish an antibody expression system to reduce the antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) effect of target antibody. Methods Site-directed mutagenesis was used to mutate the 234 and 235 sites of the Fc region of the mammalian cell antibody expression vector-L234A and L235A to establish the antibody expression vector pFRT-IgG1κ-FcM. An antibody Wt-WNV with significant ADE effect obtained in previous work was selected and expressed by the pFRT-IgG1κ-FcM system to obtain mutant antibody FcM-WNV. The binding ability of FcM-WNV to target antigen West Nile virus envelope protein-DⅢ (WNV E-DⅢ) was detected by ELISA, and the its binding ability to human high-affinity IgG Fc receptor hFcγRⅠ (hCD64 ) was analyzed by flow cytometry. The neutralizing activity of FcM-WNVin vitro was detected by pseudovirus infection of host cells (BHK21 and K562). Results The expression levels of FcM-WNV and Wt-WNV were comparable, and FcM-WNV could recognize and bind to WNVE-DIII in a concentration-dependent manner. Compared with Wt-WNV, the binding ability of FcM-WNV to hCD64 was significantly weakened, showing a significant decrease in fluorescence intensity. Consistent with the previous experimental results, Wt-WNV at a concentration of 5 μg/ml significantly enhanced the infection of K562 by WNV pseudovirus, while FcM-WNV at a concentration of 5 μg/ml could effectively block pseudovirus infection in both K562 and BHK21 cells. Conclusions The established antibody expression system can effectively reduce the ADE effect of the target antibody.
