Development of novel-nanobody-based lateral-flow immunochromatographic strip test for rapid detection of recombinant human interferon a2b

Recombinant human interferon a2b(rhIFNa2b)is widely used as an antiviral therapy agent for the treatment of hepatitis B and hepatitis C.The current identification test for rhIFNa2b is complex.In this study,an anti-rhIFNa2b nanobody was discovered and used for the development of a rapid lateral flow strip for the identification of rhIFNa2b.RhIFNa2b was used to immunize an alpaca,which established a phage nanobody library.After five steps of enrichment,the nanobody I22,which specifically bound rhIFNa2b,was isolated and inserted into the prokaryotic expression vector pET28a.After subsequent purification,the physicochemical properties of the nanobody were determined.A semiquantitative detection and rapid identification assay of rhIFNa2b was developed using this novel nanobody.To develop a rapid test,the nanobody I22 was coupled with a colloidal gold to produce lateral-flow test strips.The developed rhIFNa2b detection assay had a limit of detection of 1 mg/mL.The isolation of I22 and successful construction of a lateral-flow immunochromatographic test strip demonstrated the feasibility of performing ligand-binding assays on a lateral-flow test strip using recombinant protein products.The principle of this novel assay is generally applicable for the rapid testing of other commercial products,with a great potential for routine use in detecting counterfeit recombinant protein products.

This synergic cytotoxicity was confirmed in the animal experiment.Conclusion Combined use of TCS and rIFN α - 2b decreases the therapeutic dose of TCS and its toxic adverseellect, and this synergic effect is favorable to the clinical use of TCS protein against gastric cancer.

Pegylated interferon α-2b up-regulates specific CD8+ T cells in patients with chronic hepatitis B

AIM:To investigate the effect of pegylated interferon (IFN) α-2b on specific CD8+ T lymphocytes in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB). METHODS:Twenty-one patients with CHB were treated with pegylated IFN α-2b. Periphery blood mononuclear cells were isolated from fresh heparinized blood by Ficoll-Hypaque density gradient centrifugation (density:1.077 g/L,Pharmingen) at weeks 0,4,8,12,and 24,respectively. Frequency of circulating hepatitis B virus (HBV) epitope-specific CD8 T cells was detected by flow cytometry. Cytokines were detected by cytometric bead assay. RESULTS:The frequency of circulating HBV core or env-specific CD8 T cells was higher (P < 0.05),the number of HBV core specific CD8 T cells was greater at week 24 (P < 0.05),the level of Th1-type cytokines [interleukin (IL)-12,tumor necrosis factor-α,and IFN-γ] was higher,while that of Th2-type cytokines (IL-4,IL-6,and IL-10) was lower in responders than in nonresponders (P < 0.05) after pegylated IFN α-2b treatment. The IL-6 level was correlated with HBV DNA (r = 0.597,P = 0.04),while the inducible protein-10 (IP-10) level was correlated with serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (r = 0.545,P = 0.005). The IP-10 level at week 8 after pegylated IFN α-2b treatment could predict the normalization of ALT in CHB patients (positive predict value = 56%,negative predict value = 92%). CONCLUSION:Pegylated IFN α-2b can enhance the immune response of CHB patients by increasing the frequency of HBV specific CD8+ T cells and regulating the Th1/Th2 cytokines.

Study of recombinant human IFN-α-2b bacilli Calmette–Guerin activated killer cells and against bladder cancer cell in vitro

Presently,one of the most potent immunothera-pies is the application of bacillus Calmette Guerin(BCG)to prevent recurrences of the superficial bladder cancer.Despite its successful use,nonresponders and certain side effects remain a major obstacle.Therefore,current studies aim at developing recombinant BCG(rBCG)strains secreting Th1-like cytokines to improve the effectiveness of the therapy.In this study,a new type of rBCG strain constructed by Tianjin institute of Urology was tested for its immunostimulatory capacity in vitro.Peripheral blood monocytes(PBMC)were stimulated by recombinant BCG and transformed into bacilli Calmette–Guerin activated killer(BAK)cells,and the effect of anticancer BAK cells was studied.Recombinant IFN-a-2b-BCG,wild-type BCG(wBCG),wild-type BCG and IFN-a-2b were coincubated with PBMCs respectively in vitro,and the proliferation of PBMC was detected with MTT in different time.BAK cells have the ability to kill bladder tumor cells,and the antitumor activity of effecter cells was determined by LDH release assay.The result of MTT showed that the proli-feration of PBMC in the recombinant BCG group was more powerful than in the other two groups(P<0.05).The result of LDH release assay showed that the antitumor activity of BAK cells stimulated by Recombinant BCG was the highest in all groups.We conclude that the recombinant BCG can activate more PBMCs to anti-bladder cancer in vitro than wild-type BCG does.

简易方法合成具有类过氧化物酶活性的聚乙烯亚胺包覆的四氧化三铁用于高灵敏检测干扰素α-2b

在病毒感染和癌症治疗中,干扰素α-2b(IFN-α2b)的灵敏检测至关重要,因此需要开发经济、稳定的灵敏检测IFN-α2b的方法.传统的酶联免疫吸附测定(ELISA)中使用的天然酶存在制备成本高和稳定性差等问题.为了提高其灵敏度并降低成本,我们合成了聚乙烯亚胺(PEI)修饰的四氧化三铁磁性纳米粒子(Fe_(3)O_(4)@PEI MNPs).在基于ELISA的IFN-α2b检测中,这些磁性纳米粒子作为辣根过氧化物酶的替代品,提供了比色谱和传统ELISA技术更高的灵敏度,并且能够实现IFN-α2b的可视化检测.该免疫分析方法的线性范围为0.075-25 ng mL^(-1),检测限为0.055 ng mL^(-1).基于Fe_(3)O_(4)@PEI MNPs优异的过氧化物酶活性,该方法在用于检测IFN-α2b和其他蛋白质生物标志物监测方面具有临床应用潜力.

α-2-HS-glycoprotein is a potential marker predicting hepatitis B e antigen seroconversion in patients with chronic hepatitis B during treatment with pegylated interferon alfa-2b

The efficacy of interferon (IFN) is limited in about 1/3 of patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB). We used two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE)-based proteomic strategies to identify potential serum markers predicting hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) seroconversion in these patients during IFN therapy. Two groups of patients were enrolled: training and validation. In the training group, 2-DE experiments and subsequent identification of altered levels of proteins showed that α-2-HS-glycoprotein, leucine-rich α-2-glycoprotein, and haptoglobin were significantly upregulated as compared with baseline levels in the HBeAg seroconversion group, whereas apolipoprotein C-III precursor, leucine-rich α-2-glycoprotein, and α-albumin were downregulated in the non-seroconversion group. For patients with HBeAg seroconversion in the training group, Western blot analyses showed that α-2-HS-glycoprotein levels in 75% of patients were significantly upregulated at the end of the treatment as compared with baseline levels. Subsequent experiments in the validation group showed that α-2-HS-glycoprotein levels were significantly increased at week 4 in 83.33% of patients in the HBeAg seroconversion group. Dynamic changes in the serum level of α-2-HS-glycoprotein may be a potential early marker for predicting HBeAg seroconversion during IFN treatment for CHB.

Frequency ofT-cell FoxP3＋ Treg and CD4＋/CD8＋ PD-1 expression is related to HBeAg seroconversion in hepatitis B patients on pegylated interferon

Background Host immune responses against hepatitis B virus （HBV） induced by antiviral therapy play a crucial role in viral clearance. To further investigate the immune mechanisms underlying the differences between respondents and non-respondents, we analyzed myeloid dendritic cells （mDCs）, plasmacytoid dendritic cells （pDCs）, FoxP3＋ regulatory T cells （FoxP3＋ Treg） and programmed death 1 （PD-1） expression in CD4＋/CD8＋ T cells in chronic hepatitis B patients undergoing pegylated interferon （PeglFN）α-2b treatment. Methods Patients received PeglFNα-2b for 24 or 48 weeks, with follow-up at 24 weeks. The frequencies of mDCs, pDCs, FoxP3＋ Treg, and PD-1 expression by CD4＋/CD8＋ T cells were evaluated by flow cytometry at baseline, weeks 4 and 12, end of treatment, and follow-up （12/24 weeks）. Results In HBeAg seroconverters （respondents）, the mDC relative frequency decreased at week 4 and then rebounded at week 12. The pDC relative frequency decreased consistently. In non-HBeAg seroconverters （non-respondents）, both mDC and pDC frequencies decreased slightly. The FoxP3＋ Treg relative frequency decreased during treatment and remained low during follow-up in respondents, while in non-respondents it decreased slightly during therapy but rebounded after discontinuation. In patients with HBeAg 〈17.55 PEI-U/ml at week 12 and 〈8.52 PEI-U/ml at week 24, the FoxP3＋ Treg frequency decreased during treatment and at follow-up. In respondents, CD4~PD-1 and CD8＋PD-1 levels decreased at week 4 and remained low at week 12. In non-respondents, PD-1 expression decreased at week 4 but rebounded at week 12. Conclusions The results indicate that the dynamic changes in DCs, FoxP3＋ Treg frequency, and PD-1 expression by CD4＋ and CD8＋ T cells exhibit different trends in HBeAg and non-HBeAg seroconversion patients. During PeglFNa-2b treatment of chronic hepatitis B patients, these changes may be of predictive value for HBeAg seroconversion. HBsAg and HBeAg levels are related to FoxP3＋ Treg frequency.
