Summary

Synthesis of human monoclonal antibodies is the first step in studies aimed at unraveling the pathophysiological mechanisms of auto-antibody-mediated immune responses. We have developed a protocol to generate recombinant human immunoglobulin G (IgG) monoclonal antibodies from blood sorted B cells, including B-cell isolation, antibody cloning and in vitro synthesis.

Abstract

Finding new methods for generating human monoclonal antibodies is an active research field that is important for both basic and applied sciences, including the development of immunotherapeutics. However, the techniques to identify and produce such antibodies tend to be arduous and sometimes the heavy and light chain pair of the antibodies are dissociated. Here, we describe a relatively simple, straightforward protocol to produce human recombinant monoclonal antibodies from human peripheral blood mononuclear cells using immortalization with Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) and Toll-like receptor 9 activation. With an adequate staining, B cells producing antibodies can be isolated for subsequent immortalization and clonal expansion. The antibody transcripts produced by the immortalized B cell clones can be amplified by PCR, sequenced as corresponding heavy and light chain pairs and cloned into immunoglobulin expression vectors. The antibodies obtained with this technique can be powerful tools to study relevant human immune responses, including autoimmunity, and create the basis for new therapeutics.

Introduction

本文的目的是详细描述的方法来产生和表征从人外周血单核细胞(PBMC)中得到的人IgG单克隆抗体。

研究人类抗体的兴趣增加在研究许多不同的领域。特别是,许多研究小组有兴趣引起自身抗体1-3的病理。我们已经克隆和表征致病的自身抗体1。自身抗体的研究能够帮助确定他们的目标,并制定治疗策略, 例如 ,采用竞争性抗体4。另外,人抗体的研究也可以是在研究等领域, 兴趣,以评估疫苗接种5后的免疫反应,以表征该被暴露,并成为抗特定病原体的6或研究个体的抗体分布曲线抗体是在自然剧目7,12。

几种技术已经开发了产生重组人单克隆抗体8-12;大多数的这些使用噬菌体展示和B细胞永生化。使用噬菌体展示已被广泛应用于新抗体13的发现。然而,它具有一个主要的缺点,即重链和轻链对人免疫球蛋白成为离解的过程中。生产的杂交瘤与人类B细胞或EBV转化的克服了这一缺点。

我们通过Toll样受体9(TLR-9)6,12使用胸腺B细胞的感染与EBV与多克隆B细胞刺激的组合。

在本文中,我们详细描述了我们使用的抗体人源抗体的发展,从PBMC隔离的所有步骤, 体外抗体生成一个完整的概述的技术。这个协议可用于任何类型的人IgG轮廓的分析。在我们的实验室中,B细胞产生IgG抗体已成功地从PBMC中的其余部分分选后分离。五十排序B细胞8然后可以镀在多孔板和由EB病毒和TLR-9的激活永久化,对于单一B细胞的克隆扩增。作为饲养细胞,从人胚胎肺组织的成纤维细胞已被使用,细胞系WI38,这有利于该永生化B细胞的可视化。从这些B细胞,免疫球蛋白的重和轻链的序列可以通过PCR来获得,并且该抗体“基因克隆中免疫球蛋白G的表达载体和体外生产。使用这种技术,单个的抗体与正好在供体中发现的相同的抗体序列可以研究。

Protocol

知情同意从研究的参与者获得的。这项研究是由伦理委员会。 1.分离外周血单个核细胞(PBMC的) 离心机25毫升的参与者的肝素化血液,在900×g离心15分钟后,尽快在血液抽取之后。如果有血少,相应地缩减试剂。执行罩所有的下一步骤。 血清转移到干净的管中。它可用于在后面的步骤为冷冻的PBMC或在自身免疫患者,以测试自身抗体。 稀释血液用10ml的RPM…

Representative Results

染色CD22和IgG阳性细胞之后的分选门控示于图1在该图像中的双阳性细胞的面积。 -产生IgG抗体的B细胞-被选择为所有这些细胞在一个单独的试管中进行排序。在分析中,总的PBMC约1%的对应于这种双重阳性群体。得到的分选的细胞的数目将取决于在第1获得的细胞的数量。 5周EB病毒永生化和CpG(ODN2006)刺激后的不同结果示于图2中的生长克隆的检测容易?…

Discussion

在这个手稿,所有步骤从人PBMC的IgG抗体的产生,详细介绍。该协议包括一些优势较以前的发布技术。的优点之一是,产生的抗体保持对应于原始对中的B细胞克隆的重链和轻链。 IgG抗体的鉴定可以在任何类型的人供体的工作要做,而且也没有必要对由于疫苗接种5免疫应答的恶化。使用成纤维细胞系WI38作为饲养细胞的,允许更快速检测的生长克隆的,因为它们在形态上不同,很容易区分,…
