また、本発明の抗ヒトノロウイルスGII抗体は、IgG、IgA、IgY、IgD、IgM、IgEまたはそれらの1つ以上の一部、例えば、重鎖、軽鎖、FcまたはF(ab)一部のような任意の要求された類型であることができる。
前記免疫細胞と融合される他方の親細胞としての哺乳動物のミエローマ細胞は、すでに、公知の種々の細胞株、例えばP3X63、NS-1、MPC-11、SP2/0等が適宜使用される。
ハイブリドーマの産生する抗体の活性を検出する方法は、公知の方法を使用することができる。例えばELISA法、凝集反応法、ラジオイムノアッセイ法が挙げられる。
免疫学的測定法としては、特に制限されないが、抗ノロウイルスGII抗体と標識抗ノロウイルスGII抗体を用いたサンドイッチ法が好ましく、固定化抗ノロウイルスGII抗体と標識抗ノロウイルスGII抗体を用いる方法がさらに好ましい。
固定化抗ノロウイルスGII抗体としては、ポリスチレンプレート、ラテックス粒子、磁性粒子、ガラス繊維膜、ナイロン膜、ニトロセルロース膜、酢酸セルロース膜等の不溶性支持体に固定化したものが好ましい。
また、標識抗ヒトノロウイルスGII抗体としては、公知の標識体、例えば、放射性同位体(例えば、32P、35S、3H)、酵素(例えば、ペルオキシダーゼ、アルカリフォスファターゼ、ルシフェラーゼ)、タンパク(例えば、アビジン)、低分子化合物(例えば、ビオチン)、蛍光物質(例えば、FITC)、化学発光物質(例えば、アクリジニウム) 、ラテックス粒子(例えば、着色ラテックス粒子、蛍光ラテックス粒子)、金属(例えば、金、銀、白金等の貴金属)コロイド粒子、炭素原子等を用いることができる。
本発明のノロウイルスGIIの検出方法としてはELISA及びイムノクロマトグラフ法がより好ましい。
本発明の方法に使用する抗体は以下の方法で作成した。
GIIノロウイルス様中空粒子(VLP)50μgをマウス腹腔にアジュバントと共に数回免疫し、その血清力価が上昇したことを確認した。追加免疫(静脈内)後3日目に脾臓を取り出し、脾細胞を得た。これとマウスミエローマ細胞をポリエチレングリコール3500の存在下(10:1細胞)で融合させ、ハイブリドーマ細胞を作製した。この細胞を1週間CO2気下37℃で培養し、その培養上清中の抗ノロウイルス抗体の有無を調べた。そこで抗体産生を認めた陽性ウェル中の細胞を限界希釈法により希釈し2週間培養し、同様に培養上清の抗ノロウイルス抗体の有無を調べた。更にその後、抗体産生を認めた陽性ウェル中の細胞を再度限界希釈し、同様の培養を行った。この段階で抗ノロウイルス抗体を産生している細胞を、フラスコにて培養し、その一部をジメチルスルホキシド(DMSO) 10%含有ウシ胎児血清(FCS)にサスペンドし(5×106個/mL)、液体窒素中に保存した。
次に、これらの細胞を25mLのフラスコで培養し、更に75mLのフラスコで培養した。この細胞をプリスタン処理マウス腹腔中に注射し、腹水を採取した。
モノクローナル化ハイブリドーマ細胞の選択においては、下記実施例3に記載の方法と同様の方法でモノクローナル抗体とノロウイルスとの結合状態を確認することにより、Pドメイン上のアミノ酸領域に結合し得るモノクローナル抗体を産生するハイブリドーマを再現性良く選択することができる。
上記実施例1の方法において、GIIノロウイルス様中空粒子(VLP)を免疫する代わりに、ノロウイルス様中空粒子(VLP)のPドメインタンパク質を免疫する事により、再現性良くPドメイン上のアミノ酸領域に結合し得るモノクローナル抗体を産生するハイブリドーマを再現性良く取得することができる。Pドメインタンパク質の取得方法は実施例3に記載のある通りである。
また、本発明の式(1)及び(2)で表されるアミノ酸領域、並びに配列番号1で示されるアミノ酸配列の483番目のアミノ酸又はこれらに相当するアミノ酸配列を選択してこれらアミノ酸配列からなるポリペプチドを製造し、該ポリペプチドを免疫する事により、再現性良くPドメイン上のアミノ酸領域に結合し得るモノクローナル抗体を産生するハイブリドーマを再現性良く取得することができる。
該ポリペプチドはヒトノロウイルスGIIの抗原として使用することができる。
得られた腹水(10mL)と混濁血清処理剤(FRIGEN(登録商標)II:協和純薬工業社製)を、腹水1.5容に対してFRIGEN(登録商標)IIを1容の比率で混和し、1~2分攪拌振とうすることで、腹水からの脱脂を行った。遠心機で3000rpm(1930×g)、10分間遠心分離を行い、清澄化された腹水遠心上清(10mL)を分取した。この腹水遠心上清(10mL)に硫安分画処理(終濃度50%飽和硫安)を氷浴中で1時間施し、沈降したイムノグロブリン画分をPBSで懸濁溶解させた。この硫安分画操作を計2回行い、腹水からのイムノグロブリン粗画分を得た。得られたイムノグロブリン粗画分(10mL)に対して等量の20mMリン酸ナトリウム, pH7.0(以下、20mM NaPB,pH7.0と称す)を混合し、プロテインGカラム(HiTrap Protein G HP,5mL:Amersham BioSciences社製)を用いてアフィニティー精製を行った。サンプルをプロテインGカラムに吸着後、20mM NaPB,pH7.0(50mL)をプロテインGカラム内に通し、サンプル中のIgG以外の夾雑物を洗浄除去した。その後、プロテインGカラムにアフィニティー吸着したIgGは、0.1M グリシン-HCl,pH2.7で溶出させ、カラムからの溶出直後の溶出画分を1M Tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane-HCl,pH9.0(以下、Tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethaneをTrisと略す)で中和し回収した。中和後、アフィニティー精製物に対して500倍容のPBSで4℃、6時間の透析を行い、本透析は計2回行った。本透析操作に用いた透析膜は透析用セルロースチューブ(Viskase Companies社製)で行った。そこで得られたIgG溶出画分を、抗ノロウイルスGIIモノクローナル抗体(5B-18-3M)の精製物とし、4℃での保存ならびに後述する操作に用いることとした。尚、本精製には、BioLogic LPシステム(Bio Rad Laboratories社製)に上述のプロテインGカラムを接続し、流速は1mL/minで一貫して行った。
実施例1で得られた抗ノロウイルスGIIモノクローナル抗体(5B-18-3M)を用いて、以下の手順でイムノクロマト法を利用したノロウイルスGII検出試薬を作成した。
ニトロセルロースメンブレンシートに抗ノロウイルスGIIモノクローナル抗体(5B-18-3M)を0.36~1.45 mg/mL含有する溶液を0.25~1.00 μL/5mmの量で、線状に塗布しテストラインとした。コントロールラインは抗マウスグロブリン抗体を上記同様に塗布した。
抗ノロウイルスGIIモノクローナル抗体(5B-18-3M)を結合させたラテックスを0.04~0.15w/v%含有する溶液を抗体結合ラテックス溶液(5B-18-3M)とした。ラテックス溶液をコンジュゲートパッドに含浸させ、乾燥したものを作成した。
プラスチック製バッキングシート上に、サンプルパッド、上記メンブレン、コンジュゲートパッド及び吸収パッドをこの順で隣り合う部材が一部重なるように貼り付けた後に、プラスチックラミネートで被覆し、5mm幅に切断して、テストストリップを作製する。
上記で作成した試薬を、下記の手順でノロウイルスの各遺伝子型との反応を確認した。
ノロウイルスの各遺伝子型の組換え抗原を希釈液に浮遊し、浮遊した抗原75μLを上記で作成したテストストリップのサンプルパッドに滴下した。15~30℃で15分間静置した後、ラインの有無を確認した。結果を表1に示す。尚、124株とは、Hu/NV/GI/Aichi124-89/89/JP(GeneBank accession number: AB031013)株を意味し、258株とは、Hu/NV/GI/Funabashi258/96/JP(GeneBank accession number: AB078335)株を意味し、645株とは、Hu/NV/GI/Kashiwa645/99/JP(GeneBank accession number: BD011871)株を意味し、CV株とは、Hu/NV/GI/Chiba407/87/JP(GeneBank accession number: AB042808)株を意味し、W18株とは、Hu/NV/GI/WUG1/00/JP(GeneBank accession number: AB081723)株を意味し、#8株とは、Hu/NV/GI/8/99/JP(GeneBank accession number: AB058547)株を意味し、485株とは、Hu/NV/GII/Noda485/00/JP(GeneBank accession number: 未登録)株を意味し、NG1株とは、Hu/NV/GII/NG1/02/JP(GeneBank accession number: AB195225)株を意味し、809株とはHu/NV/GII/Sanbu809/98/JP(GeneBank accession number: BD011876)を意味し、18-3株とは、Hu/NV/GII/Matsudo18/00/JP(GeneBank accession number: 未登録)株を意味し、336株とは、Hu/NV/GII/Kashiwa336/00/JP(GeneBank accession number: 未登録)株を意味し、104株とは、Hu/NV/GII/Narita104/97/JP(GeneBank accession number: 未登録)株を意味し、754株とは、Hu/NV/GII/Ichikawa754/98/JP(GeneBank accession number: BD011877)株を意味し、7k株とは、Hu/NV/GII/Ueno7k/94/JP(GeneBank accession number: AB078337)株を意味し、445株とは、Hu/NV/GII/Sanbu445/00/JP(GeneBank accession number: 未登録)株を意味し、10-25株とは、Hu/NV/GII/Osaka10-25/99/JP(GeneBank accession number: BD011881)株を意味し、U25株とは、Hu/NV/GII/SaitamaU25/**/JP(GeneBank accession number: AB039780)株を意味し、1876株とは、Hu/NV/GII/Chitta/Aichi76-96/96/JP(GeneBank accession number: AB032758)株を意味し、NG15株とは、Hu/NV/GII/NG15/03/JP(GeneBank accession number: 未登録)株を意味し、47株とは、Hu/NV/GII/Kashiwa47/97/JP(GeneBank accession number: AB078334)株を意味し、Kamo株とは、Hu/NV/GII/Kamo8/03/JP(GeneBank accession number: 未登録)株を意味し、Alph株とは、Hu/NV/GII/Alph23/**/JP(GeneBank accession number: 未登録)株を意味する。
抗ノロウイルスGIIモノクローナル抗体(5B-18-3M)とノロウイルスとの結合状態を把握するため、以下の手順でX線結晶構造解析を行った。
(1)サンプルの調製
<ノロウイルスP領域のタンパク質発現、精製と結晶化>
ノロウイルスVietnam026 GII.10のP領域の全長に近い(アミノ酸残基224-538)P領域(アミノ酸の長さ314)を、E.coliでの発現のためにデザインし、BamHIとNotI(New England Biolabs)制限酵素サイトで切断したpMal-c2xベクターに挿入し、発現クローンを作製した。これをE.coli BL21細胞(Invitrogen)にトランスフォームし、発現は、IPTG(1mM)で22℃で18時間誘導した。His-tagged融合P領域タンパク質は、Niカラム(Qiagen)で精製し、HRV-3Cプロテアーゼ(Novagen)により、4℃で一晩処理した。その後、再度その処理液をNiカラムに通すことで、P領域を精製した。
P領域はSuperdex 200カラム(GE)で分子ふるいクロマトグラフィーにより、さらに精製し、2-10mg/mlまで濃縮した後、結晶化の前にGFB(0.35M NaCl、2.5mMトリスpH 7.0、0.02% NaN3)に保存した。
精製した5B-18-3M IgGを約60 mg使用し、Fabの調整をした。5B-18-3M IgG は、100mM dTTで37℃で1時間還元した。還元した5B-18-3M IgGは、透析カセットで4℃で1時間透析を行い、20mM HEPES(pH 7.7)を含むGFBにBuffer置換し、4℃で48時間2mMヨードアセトアミドを含むGFBでアルキル化した。その後、カセットをヨードアセトアミドを含まない新しいGFBに移し、4℃で1h Buffer置換を行った。5B-18-3M IgGは、5mg/mLに濃縮し、キット(pierce,Rockford, USA)を用いてパパインで消化した。消化した5B-18-3M IgGは、プロテインAカラムでFabのみ精製し、Fabは、さらにSuperdex 200カラム(GE)で分子ふるいクロマトグラフィーにより精製し、5mg/mLに濃縮した後GFBに保存した。
精製したそれらの、ノロウイルス GII.10のP領域と、5B-18-3M Fabは、1:1で混合し25℃で1時間反応させ、最終的に分子ふるいクロマトグラフィーにより精製した。
上記、ノロウイルスP領域と抗ノロウイルスGIIモノクローナル抗体(5B-18-3M)のFab の複合体はハンプトンリサーチ社の試薬とhanging-drop vapor diffusion法を用いるのとは少し異なる状況下で結晶化させた。
この研究のために、P領域-Fab複合体の結晶は、GII.10 P領域-Fab複合体とPEG400(40% v/v)、PEG3350(5% w/v)、0.1M酢酸(pH5.5)を含むGFBを1:1の比率で混合し、成長させた。データ収集の前に結晶は、30%のエチレングリコールにGFBを含む凍結防止剤へ移した。
抗ノロウイルスGIIモノクローナル抗体(5B-18-3M)とノロウイルスGII.10キャプシドタンパクP領域との複合体の結晶のX線回析データは、アルゴンヌ国立研究所(Argonne, IL)のビームライン、Southeast Regional Collaborative Access Team (SER-CAT) 22-IDと22-BMを使用して作成された。回析データは蛋白・低分子データ処理ソフトウェアHKL2000とプログラムパッケージXDSによって処理した。構造は、PDB( Protein Data Bank) コード1WEJを抗ノロウイルスGIIモノクローナル抗体のFabのサーチモデルとし、PDB コード2OBRをノロウイルスキャプシドP領域のサーチモデルとして、分子置換による構造解析ソフトPHASERを用いて、回析データと抗ノロウイルスGIIモノクローナル抗体(5B-18-3M)とノロウイルスGII.10キャプシドタンパクP領域アミノ酸配列より立体構造を構築した。
その後、モデル構築ソフトCOOT内に構築されているマニュアルモデルで立体構造を調整し、精密化プログラムREFMACのTLS refinementと自動構造決定ソフトウェアPHENIXで修正を行い、CCP4によって、重ね合わせ(superposition)と平均二乗偏差(RMSD)が計算され、分子グラフィックスツールPyMOLに描画した。
これにより得られた、図2の構造よりGII.10キャプシドタンパクP領域に抗ノロウイルスGIIモノクローナル抗体(5B-18-3M)が結合している部位のノロウイルスGII.10キャプシドタンパクP領域のアミノ酸配列の同定を行ったところ、3箇所の部位が明らかとなった。その後、各遺伝子型のアミノ酸配列の相同性比較を行った結果、図1に示すように、各遺伝子間で非常に保存された3ヶ所の領域であるという結果が得られた。
