Binding protein for D-dimer, application thereof and method for detecting D-dimer
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of antibodies, in particular to a binding protein aiming at a D-dimer, application thereof and a method for detecting the D-dimer.
Background
D-dimer (DD) is fibrin in blood, and is activated and hydrolyzed to produce a specific, simplest degradation product, which is a specific marker of the fibrinolytic process. The fibrinolysis system in human body mainly maintains normal permeability of vascular wall, blood flow state and tissue repair, the organism generates blood coagulation in pathological state, thrombin can act on fibrin to convert into cross-linked fibrin, and the cross-linked fibrin releases fragments of X ', Y', D ', E' and the like in the dissolving process to form compounds of DD, DD/E, YD/YD, YY/DD and the like. These fragments are further degraded to the smallest fragments DD, with a molecular weight of about 62000D, and a half-life >3h in vivo, mainly excreted via the kidneys, and DD/E complexes.
The rise of the D-dimer reflects the existence of important molecular markers of coagulation and fibrinolytic activity enhancement in vivo, represents that blood clots are formed in the vascular circulation system, and is a sensitive marker of acute thrombosis. Myocardial infarction, cerebral infarction, pulmonary embolism, venous thrombosis, surgery, tumor, disseminated intravascular coagulation, infection and tissue necrosis can all cause D-dimer to rise.
In 1972, Gaffney first proposed D-dimer detection as a "useful tool" for monitoring blood coagulation disorders. In 1983, Rylatt et al subsequently proposed the detection of D-Dimer based on monoclonal antibodies (latex agglutination method). In recent years, researchers have introduced thrombus-directed thrombolytic agents using monoclonal antibodies and protein ligation techniques. The basic principle is to utilize the affinity between antigen (D-dimer) and antibody (anti-D-dimer monoclonal antibody) to link the monoclonal antibody of the antithrombotic specific component with the thrombolytic drug to form an antibody-thrombolytic complex. The monoclonal antibody can carry a thrombolytic agent to be specifically combined with thrombus like a missile, so that the thrombolytic agent at the thrombus part is highly aggregated, and the dissolving effect on the thrombus is enhanced. Later, the anti-D-dimer monoclonal antibody is used for labeling the radioactive nuclide, the radioactive nuclide can be carried to the local part of the thrombus in the process of the specific combination of the antibody and the antigen, and the distribution of the radioactive nuclide in vivo is monitored by a radioactive nuclide detector, so that the aim of positioning and diagnosing the thrombus by utilizing the guide tracer is fulfilled.
The D-dimer is clinically used as a specific monitoring index for thrombolytic therapy of thrombotic diseases. Since only the D-dimer cross-linked fragments in the degradation products of fibrinolytic proteins reflect the thrombolytic activity after thrombus formation. Therefore, in theory, the quantitative detection of D-dimer can quantitatively reflect the thrombolytic effect of the drug, and can be used for diagnosing and screening newly formed thrombus. In thrombolytic therapy, the D-dimer content changes are generally characterized as follows: firstly, the content of D-dimer after thrombolysis obviously rises in a short period and then gradually falls, thus prompting that the treatment is effective; ② the D-dimer content continuously rises or slowly falls after thrombolysis, which indicates insufficient dose of thrombolytic drug; ③ thrombolytic therapy should be continued until the D-dimer content is reduced to the normal range. In addition, after the completion of thrombolytic therapy, changes in D-dimer should be observed periodically over a period of time to prevent recurrence of thrombus.
Tumors have also been reported to cause elevated concentrations of D-dimer in patients, and may be used as a criterion for staging, prognosis, etc. Masatoshi Oya et al found in one study that D-dimer was significantly higher in colorectal cancer patients than in benign patients, and that pre-operative D-dimer was positively correlated with pathological outcome and staging of tumors. Patients with high preoperative D-dimer levels had significantly shorter postoperative survival than patients with low levels. D-dimer assays were performed on 128 patients with malignant tumors and found that: the acute leukemia group, the malignant lymphoma group and the solid tumor group are respectively obviously higher than the control group, have obvious difference (P <0.05), and have the remission stage obviously lower than the initial stage (P < 0.05).
Research shows that in liver diseases, the content of plasma D-dimer is obviously increased and is in positive correlation with the severity of liver diseases. Wilder et al determined 59 of the plasma D-dimers from individuals with acute and chronic liver disease, 48 of which were elevated to varying degrees. The D dimer level of each hepatitis patient is obviously higher than that of the control group and has significant difference (P <0.01), and the D dimer level of the patients is sequentially in the severe hepatitis group >; liver cirrhosis group >; in the chronic hepatitis group, severe group >; acute liver group >; chronic hepatitis, which may be associated with an impaired anticoagulant system.
In addition, the document also reports the application of the D-dimer in the clinical detection of various diseases such as cerebral infarction, myocardial infarction, nephropathy, neonatal asphyxia and the like.
There are many monoclonal antibodies that can distinguish between D-dimer and monomeric D in the clinic today, and can monitor fibrin degradation products in the presence of fibrinogen. These anti-D-dimer antibodies can detect not only free D-dimer, but also the polymerized D domain of large fibrin complexes, including the hinge fibrin complex formed early in the coagulation process. Accurate determination of the D-dimer antigen allows early detection of intravascular coagulation.
The detection method of D-dimer includes three P test, LATEX agglutination method (LATEX), ELISA method, immune percolation colloidal gold color reaction method, etc., and the clinical method is most commonly: ELISA, LATEX and the immune filtration colloidal gold staining method, wherein the LATEX method has high measuring speed, but has poor result repeatability and poor sensitivity compared with the ELISA method; the ELISA method has high sensitivity, but the detection time is long. The immune filtration colloidal gold color reaction can be quantitatively detected, the sensitivity is high, the result is comparable to the ELISA result, but the specificity is not strong, and the interference of lipid particles is avoided.
The detection methods used at present are all based on specific monoclonal antibodies, that is, the preparation of monoclonal antibodies aiming at D-dimers becomes the key for improving the detection sensitivity and specificity. There are some defects in sensitivity, specificity and affinity of the monoclonal antibodies currently used for detecting D-dimer, and there is a large room for improvement, and thus there is still a strong need in the art for monoclonal antibodies directed to detecting D-dimer.

Noun definitions
The term "binding protein" broadly refers to all proteins/protein fragments, in particular antibodies or functional fragments of antibodies, comprising CDR regions. The term "antibody" includes polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies, and "antibody functional fragments" include antigen-compound-binding fragments of these antibodies, including Fab, F (ab') 2, Fd, Fv, scFv, diabodies, and minimal recognition units, as well as single chain derivatives of these antibodies and fragments. The type of antibody can be selected from IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4, IgA, IgM, IgE, IgD. Furthermore, the term "antibody" includes naturally occurring antibodies as well as non-naturally occurring antibodies, including, for example, chimeric (chimeric), bifunctional (bifunctional) and humanized (humanized) antibodies, as well as related synthetic isomeric forms (isoforms). The term "antibody" is used interchangeably with "immunoglobulin".
The "variable region" or "variable domain" of an antibody refers to the amino-terminal domain of the heavy or light chain of the antibody. The variable domain of the heavy chain may be referred to as "VH". The variable domain of the light chain may be referred to as "VL". These domains are usually the most variable parts of an antibody and contain an antigen binding site. The light or heavy chain variable region (VL or VH) is composed of framework regions interrupted by three hypervariable regions, termed "complementarity determining regions" or "CDRs". The extent of the framework regions and CDRs has been precisely defined, for example, in Kabat (see Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest), E.Kabat et al, U.S. department of Health and Human Services (U.S.. department of Health and Human Services), (1983), and Chothia. The framework regions of the antibody, which constitute the combination of the essential light and heavy chains, serve to locate and align the CDRs, which are primarily responsible for binding to the antigen.
As used herein, "framework region" or "FR" region means the region of an antibody variable domain excluding those defined as CDRs. Each antibody variable domain framework can be further subdivided into adjacent regions separated by CDRs (FR1, FR2, FR3 and FR 4).
Typically, the variable domains VL/VH of the heavy and light chains are obtained by linking the CDRs and FRs numbered as follows in a combinatorial arrangement: FR1-CDR1-FR2-CDR2-FR3-CDR3-FR 4.
As used herein, the term "purified" or "isolated" in relation to a polypeptide or nucleic acid means that the polypeptide or nucleic acid is not in its native medium or native form. Thus, the term "isolated" includes a polypeptide or nucleic acid that is removed from its original environment, e.g., from its natural environment if it is naturally occurring. For example, an isolated polypeptide is generally free of at least some proteins or other cellular components that are normally bound to or normally mixed with it or in solution. Isolated polypeptides include the naturally-produced polypeptide contained in a cell lysate, the polypeptide in purified or partially purified form, recombinant polypeptides, the polypeptide expressed or secreted by a cell, and the polypeptide in a heterologous host cell or culture. In connection with a nucleic acid, the terms "isolated" or "purified" mean that the nucleic acid is not in its natural genomic context (e.g., in a vector, as an expression cassette, linked to a promoter, or artificially introduced into a heterologous host cell).
