キットは診断、研究等のために使用されうる。キットは、その使用目的に応じて、試薬としての抗体のみならず、ヒト化抗体を固定化するための担体や、二次抗体を含んでもよい。このような担体としては不溶性担体が好ましく、例えば、ポリエチレンやポリスチレン等のラテックス粒子、アルミナ粒子、シリカ粒子、金コロイド、磁性粒子等の粒子がその例として挙げられる。より具体的には、ELISA法(直接法、間接法、サンドイッチ法等)であればマイクロプレート、ラテックス凝集法であればラテックス等が不溶性担体として使用され得る。抗体と抗原の非特異反応を防ぐ観点から、ブロッキング剤をキットに含めるのが好ましい。
第三の実施形態において、本発明は、ヒト化抗体を用いる抗原抗体反応を利用した被測定物質の測定方法、を提供する。
該方法は、上記の試薬又はキットを用いて行うことができ、上記の免疫学的方法による測定方法である。
第四の実施形態において、本発明は、ヒト化抗体を用いる、抗原抗体反応の非特異的反応を抑制する方法、を提供する。
1.ベクター作製及びタンパク発現
Fc領域をヒト化した抗体として、マウス由来ヒト化抗CRPモノクローナル抗体(IgG)を選択した。
IgGの重鎖はタバコモザイクウイルス(TMV)ベクター(Icon Genetics社製)にクローニングし、軽鎖はジャガイモウイルスX(PVX)ベクター(Icon Genetics社製)にクローニングした。これらのベクターをそれぞれ別々のアグロバクテリウムに導入して形質転換して培養した後、培養液の混合液をニコチアナベンサミアーナの葉にインフィルトレーションし、1週間ほどで収穫した。収穫した葉(感染葉)を凍結した。
凍結した感染葉をカッターミキサーで破砕し、重量比等量の緩衝液(100mM Tris、250mM NaCl、5mM EDTA、40mMアスコルビン酸ナトリウム)を添加して、更に破砕した。カッターミキサーから感染葉破砕液を回収し、遠心分離(5℃、15,000×g、30分間)して上清を回収した。この上清を0.45μmフィルターで濾過し、プロテインAカラムクロマトグラフィー(グローバルライフサイエンステクノロジー社製、MabSelect,SuRe pcc)にかけることで植物由来不純物と抗体由来不純物を分離除去した。
感染葉に3倍量の抽出バッファー(100mM Tris,250mM NaCl,5mM EDTA)を加えてビーズミルで破砕し、氷上で30min放置したのち、遠心分離(8,000×g,4℃、10分間)して上清を回収し、SDS-PAGEで分析した。その結果、Fc領域をヒト化した抗体として、マウス由来抗CRP抗体の発現が確認された。
1.ベクター作製及びタンパク発現
Fc領域をヒト化した抗体として、マウス由来ヒト化抗CRPモノクローナル抗体(IgG)を選択した。
IgGの重鎖及び軽鎖をpCHO1.0vector(サーモフィッシャーサイエンティフィック株式会社製)にクローニングした。このベクターを制限酵素によりリニア化した後、FreedomTM CHO-STM(サーモフィッシャーサイエンティフィック株式会社製)にトランスフェクションした。その後、FreedomTM CHO-STM Kit USER GUIDE(サーモフィッシャーサイエンティフィック株式会社製)に従って、マウス由来ヒト化抗CRPモノクローナル抗体産生CHO安定発現クローンを取得した。このクローンを用いてFed-batch培養にて14日間培養し、その培養液から細胞を除去した液を回収した。
細胞を除去した液を遠心分離(4℃、15,000×g、10分間)して上清を回収した。この上清を0.22μmフィルターで濾過し、プロテインAカラムクロマトグラフィー(グローバルライフサイエンステクノロジー社製、HiTrapTM MabSelect SuReTM)にかけることでCHO細胞由来不純物を分離除去した。
細胞を除去した液を0.22μmフィルターで濾過し、SDS-PAGEで分析した。
その結果、Fc領域をヒト化した抗体として、マウス由来ヒト化抗CRP抗体の発現が確認された。
