- the sandwich ELISA prepared in Example 2 was used for the reaction between each antibody and preceptin. Then, a partial peptide derived from S68 peptide (each 10 amino acids, see Table 3) was added, and a competitive inhibition reaction test was performed.
- a preceptin standard was diluted with PBS (pH 7.4) to prepare a standard of 400 pg / mL. Further, PBS (pH 7.4) containing no peptide was used as a control. According to the method described in Example 2, 25 ⁇ L of the blocking peptide prepared in 3-1 and 25 ⁇ L of preceptin standard were added to the plate prepared with each specific purified antibody, and reacted at 25 ° C. and 500 rpm for 1 hour. After washing the plate, a labeled antibody was added and reacted in the same manner. From the obtained absorbance, a peptide having an absorbance decreased by 30% or more compared with the control was judged to have binding activity.
- the S68 antibody contains antibodies that react with peptides P01 to P05, whereas the P03 purified polyclonal antibody has two lots of antibodies that react with the P03 peptide and P04 peptide, P02 peptide, P03 One lot of antibody reacts with the peptide and P04 peptide.
- Table 4 The results are shown in Table 4.
- Example 4 Comparison of Cross Reactivity to Blood High Molecular Weight sCD14
- Cross reactivity of the six antibodies obtained in Example 1 to blood high molecular weight sCD14 was measured using a sandwich ELISA. From the results of Example 3, it was revealed that the P03 purified polyclonal antibody contains an antibody that binds to both the P03 peptide and the P04 peptide. Therefore, in ELISA using P03 purified polyclonal antibody, P04 peptide is added to a dilution of high molecular weight sCD14 in blood and preceptin standard standard so that the final concentration is 20 ⁇ g / mL, and the binding activity of the antibody that binds to P04 peptide is increased. By blocking, an antibody that specifically binds to the P03 peptide (P03-specific polyclonal antibody) was evaluated.
- Each blood high molecular weight sCD14 concentration was 1603 ng / mL of normal human serum and 21 ng / mL of CD14-absorbed human serum, and a high molecular weight sCD14 dilution series was prepared by mixing them.
- Cross-reactivity (%) (concentration obtained by plotting the absorbance of a specimen containing high molecular weight sCD14 in blood measured on an antibody on a preceptin standard curve / high molecular weight sCD14 concentration used in measurement) ⁇ 100 (%)
- Example 5 Measurement of Septic Patient Samples with Known Concentrations Using the ELISA prepared with the six antibodies obtained in Example 1, 22 samples of septic patient samples with known concentrations were measured and correlation analysis was performed. Preceptin measurement of samples with known concentrations was performed using a preceptin measurement kit using S68 antibody. P03 purified polyclonal antibody is blocked according to Example 4 by adding P04 peptide so that the final concentration of P04 peptide is 20 ⁇ g / mL in the dilution solution of preceptin standard and patient specimen, and blocking the antibody that binds to P04 peptide. The P03-specific polyclonal antibody was evaluated.
- the coefficient of variation (CV) of the slope of the regression line was 20% in 3 lots of S68 antibody, whereas it was 10.6% in 3 lots of P03-specific polyclonal antibody. It was shown that by using a P03-specific polyclonal antibody, it is possible to stably prepare a preceptin measurement kit with little variation in measured values among antibody lots.
- Example 6 Preparation of P03-Specific Polyclonal Antibody
- antibodies prepared using a P03 peptide-immobilized affinity column include antibodies that bind to both P03 and P04 peptides. Therefore, an anti-preceptin polyclonal antibody that specifically binds to the P03 peptide is prepared by removing the antibody that binds to the P04 peptide from the obtained antibody. The following method can also be applied to removing antibodies that bind to other peptides.
- a P04 peptide immobilized affinity column is prepared using P04 peptide.
- the IgG fraction obtained in Example 1-1 is passed through a P04 peptide-immobilized affinity column.
- Antibodies that bind to the P04 peptide are removed by passing through a P04 peptide immobilized affinity column.

以下の実施例により本発明を更に詳述するが、本発明はこれら実施例に限定して理解されるべきものではない。
S68ペプチドを免疫原としてウサギに免疫して得られたウサギ抗S68ペプチドポリクローナル抗体について、P03ペプチド(配列番号1)又はS68ペプチド(配列番号2)をそれぞれ固体化したアフィニティーカラムを用いて特異精製を実施した。
WO2004/044005の実施例1に記載の方法に従って、免疫原としてS68ペプチド-KLHを使用してウサギを免疫した後、定法に従い抗血清を調製し、硫安塩析、プロテインA精製(Prosep-A、ミリポア)により、3ロットの精製IgG画分(A、B、C)を調製した。
マニュアルに従い、3.0mLのSulfoLink Coupling Gel(サーモサイエンス)をカラムに充填し、カラム体積の6倍量の50mM Tris、5mM EDTA(pH8.5)で洗浄した。カラムの底にフタをした。次に、N末にシステインを結合したS68ペプチド(2.5mg)、N末又はC末にシステインを結合したP03ペプチド(3.0mg、配列番号4及び5の等量混合物)をそれぞれ、50mM Tris、5mM EDTA(pH8.5)で1mg/mLに溶解した。
C末にシステインを結合したP03ペプチド(配列番号5:KRVDADADPRC)
1-2で調製したS68ペプチド固定化ゲル及びP03ペプチド固定化ゲルをそれぞれ1mL/カラムに分注し、PBSで洗浄し平衡化した。次に、1-1で得られた3ロットの精製IgG画分(各50mg)を、2種類のペプチド固定化アフィニティーカラムにそれぞれ0.5mL/minの流速でアプライし、PBSで未吸着分画を洗浄した。続けて0.1M Glycine-HCl緩衝液(pH2.5)で溶出し、ピーク画分を回収した。得られた溶出画分を中和し、濃縮後、PBS(pH7.4)で透析した。得られたそれぞれの抗体の純度をSDS-PAGEで確認したところ、150kDa付近に単一バンドが確認された。また、DC Protein Assay(バイオラッド)でタンパク濃度を測定した。表1に調製した各抗体のタンパク濃度の結果を示した。S68-A、S68-BおよびS68-Cは、S68ペプチド固定化アフィニティーカラムにより特異精製して得られた抗体を表し、P03-A、P03-BおよびP03-Cは、P03ペプチド固定化アフィニティーカラムにより精製して得られた抗体を表す。
実施例1で調製した6種類の特異精製抗体をそれぞれ用いたサンドイッチELISAを作製してプレセプシン標準品(WO2005/108429の実施例16に記載のrsCD14-ST)を測定し、各抗体の反応性を評価した。(以下、P03ペプチド固定化アフィニティーカラムにより特異精製して得られた抗体を「P03精製ポリクローナル抗体」、S68ペプチド固定化アフィニティーカラムにより特異精製して得られた抗体を「S68抗体」という。)
実施例1で調製した6種類の抗体をそれぞれPBS(pH7.4)で5μg/mLに希釈し、イムノプレート(MAXISORP、C8プレート、ヌンク)に分注した。プレートをシールし4℃一夜静置した。翌日プレートを冷蔵PBS(pH7.4)で5回洗浄後、ブロッキング液200mLを添加し、各抗体を固相化したプレートを調製した。
プレセプシン標準品を検体希釈液(0.1%BSAを含むD-PBS(pH7.4))で500pg/mLに希釈した。2-1で調製した各プレートに検体希釈液(プレセプシン標準品0pg/mLに相当)及びプレセプシン標準品500pg/mLをウエル当たり50μL添加し、シェイカー(TAITEC bioShakerM-BR-022UP)を用いて、500rpm、25℃で1時間反応させた。反応終了後、プレートウォッシャー(バイオテックMW-96AR・Nunc-ImmunoWash)を用いて0.05%Tween20を含む生理食塩水で5回洗浄し、ペルオキシダーゼ標識F1106-13-3抗体(WO2004/044005の実施例3に記載)を標識抗体希釈液で0.125μg/mLに希釈した溶液を各ウエルに50μL添加した。25℃、500rpmで2時間反応後、同様に5回洗浄し、テトラメチルベンジジン溶液(TMB、BioFx)を各ウエルに添加し、室温で20分間反応した。各ウエルに1M硫酸溶液を50μL添加し反応を停止し、引き続きプレート分光光度計(CORONA ELECTRIC MTP-300)で450nm/650nmの吸光度を測定した。プレセプシン標準品0pg/mL又は500pg/mLを添加したときの各抗体の吸光度を表2に示した。
実施例1で調製した6種類の抗体の特異性を評価するため、実施例2で作製したサンドイッチELISAを用いて、各抗体とプレセプシンとの反応に対して、S68ペプチド由来の部分ペプチド(各10アミノ酸、表3参照)を添加し、競合阻止反応試験を行った。
S68ペプチドのN末端3アミノ酸を含む10アミノ酸をP01ペプチドとし、3アミノ酸ずつC末側にずらしたペプチド8種類を合成した(表3)。それら合成ペプチドをPBS(pH7.4)で20mg/mLに希釈し、阻止ペプチドとした。
プレセプシン標準品をPBS(pH7.4)で希釈し、400pg/mLの標準品を調製した。また、コントロールとしてペプチドを含まないPBS(pH7.4)を使用した。実施例2に記載の方法にしたがって、各特異精製抗体で調製したプレートに3-1で調製した阻止ペプチド25μLとプレセプシン標準品25μLを添加し、25℃、500rpmで1時間反応させた。プレートを洗浄後、標識抗体を添加し、同様に反応させた。得られた吸光度から、コントロールと比較して吸光度が30%以上低下したペプチドを結合活性ありと判断した。
実施例1で得られた6種類の抗体の血中高分子量sCD14に対する交叉反応性をサンドイッチELISAを用いて測定した。実施例3の結果から、P03精製ポリクローナル抗体にはP03ペプチドにもP04ペプチドにも結合する抗体が含まれていることが明らかになった。そこで、P03精製ポリクローナル抗体を用いたELISAでは、血中高分子量sCD14及びプレセプシン標準品の希釈液中に最終濃度20μg/mLとなるようにP04ペプチドを添加し、P04ペプチドに結合する抗体の結合活性をブロックすることにより、P03ペプチドに特異的に結合する抗体(P03特異ポリクローナル抗体)の評価を実施した。
血中高分子量sCD14の調製は、次のように実施した。抗CD14抗体(F1024-1-3:WO01/072993の実施例2に記載)を固定化したカラムに正常ヒト血清をアプライし、CD14を吸収することによりCD14吸収ヒト血清を調製した。CD14吸収ヒト血清及び正常ヒト血清の血中高分子量sCD14濃度はCD14 ELISAキット(R&D社、#DC140)を用いて測定した。それぞれの血中高分子量sCD14濃度は正常ヒト血清1603ng/mL、CD14吸収ヒト血清21ng/mLであり、これらを混合することにより高分子量sCD14希釈列を調製した。
血中高分子量sCD14(21~1603ng/mL)の希釈系列を調製し、希釈液で20倍希釈して、実施例2に記載の方法に従い、各抗体を用いたELISAにより吸光度を測定した。また、プレセプシン標準品(0~500pg/mL)を測定し、得られた吸光度を用いてプレセプシンの標準曲線を作成した。抗体を用いたELISAにより、血中高分子量sCD14を含有する検体(1603ng/mL)の吸光度を測定し、これをプレセプシン標準曲線上にプロットし、この吸光度に対応する濃度を求めた。この得られた濃度を、測定に用いた血中高分子量sCD14濃度(20倍希釈して測定するため、80ng/mLを使用)で割ることにより、交叉反応性を算出した。
その結果、P03特異ポリクローナル抗体を用いたELISAアッセイ系では、血中高分子量sCD14に対する交叉反応は検出感度以下であり、P03特異ポリクローナル抗体は、血中高分子量sCD14に対する交叉反応が極めて起こりにくいことが分かった。このことから、P03特異ポリクローナル抗体を用いて作製したELISAは、S68抗体を用いたELISAと比較して、プレセプシンをより精度よく測定できることが示された。
実施例1で得られた6種の抗体で作製したELISAを用いて、濃度既知の敗血症患者検体22例を測定し、相関分析を行った。濃度既知の検体のプレセプシン測定は、S68抗体を用いたプレセプシン測定キットを用いて行った。P03精製ポリクローナル抗体は、実施例4に準じて、プレセプシン標準品及び患者検体の希釈液中にP04ペプチドが最終濃度20μg/mLとなるようにP04ペプチドを添加し、P04ペプチドに結合する抗体をブロックし、P03特異ポリクローナル抗体の評価を実施した。
実施例2に記載のサンドイッチELISAを用いて、プレセプシン標準品(0~500pg/mL、8点を各n=2)及び検体希釈液で20倍に希釈した敗血症患者検体を測定した(n=2)。SoftMax Pro(モレキュラデバイス)を用いて、プレセプシン標準品の吸光度から標準曲線を作成し、各検体濃度を算出した。変動係数(CV)30%以上の測定値は解析より除外した。
5-1で得られた測定値と既知濃度を用いて、excel2007で相関分析を実施し、回帰直線を求めた。P03特異ポリクローナル抗体(3ロット)について作製された回帰直線を図1~3に示す。回帰分析の結果を表6に示した。
実施例3の結果、P03ペプチド固定化アフィニティーカラムにより調製した抗体には、P03ペプチドにもP04ペプチドにも結合する抗体が含まれることが分かった。そこで、得られた抗体からP04ペプチドに結合する抗体を除去することにより、P03ペプチドに特異的に結合する抗プレセプシンポリクローナル抗体を調製する。以下の方法は、他のペプチドに結合する抗体を除去する場合にも応用可能である。
実施例1に記載の方法に従って、P04ペプチドを用いて、P04ペプチド固定化アフィニティーカラムを調製する。実施例1-3に従い、P04ペプチド固定化アフィニティーカラムに実施例1-1で得られたIgG画分を通す。P04ペプチドと結合する抗体は、P04ペプチド固定化アフィニティーカラムを通すことにより除去される。次に、得られた未吸着画分を実施例1に記載の方法に従ってP03ペプチド固定化アフィニティーカラムにより精製することにより、P03特異ポリクローナル抗体が得られる。
実施例1-1で得られたIgG画分にP04ペプチドを添加した後に、P03ペプチド固定化アフィニティーカラムで精製する。この処理により、P04ペプチドと結合する抗体を除去して精製することが可能であり、P03特異ポリクローナル抗体が得られる。
