Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide a new DNA fragment coding an antibody protein specifically reacting with a human cancer fetal antigen specifically observed in cancer cells and capable of being used for a cancer-diagnosing agent as a cancer marker or for a cancer-treating agent. CONSTITUTION:A human cancer fetal antigen (e.g. human CEA) is administered into a Balb/c mouse to immunize the mouse. After the second sensitization the splenic cells of the mouse are collected, fused with mouse myeloma cells and subsequently cultured in a HAT medium to produce hybridomas. The hybridomas are screened, and an anti CEA antibody-producing strain is selected and cloned. From the cloned cells mRNA is collected and used as a template to synthesize a cDNA library by a conventional method. The cDNA is screened to provide the objective DNA fragment coding the heavy chain variable region and the light chain variable region of an antibody specific to human cancer fetal antigen and coding amino acid sequences represented by No.1-120 amino acids of formula I and by No.1-109 amino acids of formula II.

[Prior Art] CEA (J. Exp. Med., 122, 467, (
(1965)) is currently the most established tumor marker. Its usefulness as a cancer marker is (1) it is a marker that appears in various malignant tumors, mainly gastrointestinal cancer, and (2) it is useful for early diagnosis of cancer or whether it is a malignant or benign disease. (3) It is extremely useful for monitoring patients after surgery, especially for determining the success or failure of radical surgery and for early detection of recurrence; (4) Non-invasive treatment.

[0003] Antibodies against CEA not only enable the above-mentioned diagnosis, but can also be used as therapeutic agents. Initially, mouse monoclonal antibodies were administered alone with the hope of passive immunotherapy, but recently, monoclonal antibodies have been used in so-called missile therapy, which utilizes the specific binding ability of monoclonal antibodies, and in combination with other drugs.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] A large number of mouse monoclonal antibodies that specifically bind to CEA that can be used for the above purpose have been obtained to date, but their amino acid and base sequences have not yet been determined. Examples include a patent by Genentech (Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 60-155132), but there are still very few examples. Kuroki et al. classified approximately 150 types of anti-CEA antibodies into 25 subgroups by examining which microregion of CEA they bind to (Kuroki et al., Jpn. J. Cancer res. 78, 38
6, (1987)). This shows that when monoclonal antibodies are actually used as diagnostic or therapeutic agents, their effectiveness varies significantly depending on the subgroup.

[Means for solving the problem] The present inventors have developed anti-CE
Various studies were conducted regarding A-specific antibody producing strains. As a result, the anti-CEA mouse monoclonal antibody reported by Genentech was found to have 24 amino acids out of 120 amino acids in the H chain.
We obtained a production strain that produces a novel anti-CEA mouse monoclonal antibody that differs in 20 out of 109 amino acids in the chain, and also obtained cDNA encoding the antibody, thus completing the present invention. That is, the gist of the present invention is a DNA fragment encoding the heavy chain variable region and light chain variable region of an antibody that specifically reacts with human carcinoembryonic antigen, The regions are Nos. 1 to 120 of SEQ ID NO: 1 and SEQ ID NO:
It consists of a DNA fragment characterized by encoding the amino acid sequence represented by No. 1 to No. 109 of No. 2.

After completely removing the supernatant, loosen the cells on the pellet and add 42.5% polyethylene glycol solution (PE) pre-warmed to 37°C.
After adding 0.5 ml of G) and reacting at room temperature for 1 minute,
1 ml of 7°C RPMI 1640 was added every 30 seconds 10 times. Meanwhile, continue to rotate the test tube slowly. The fused cells were centrifugally washed in this way, and the number of P3U1 cells was reduced to 5.
RPMI164 to ~10×105 cells/ml
Add 0.10% FCS. 0.2 ml of the solution was dispensed into a microtiter plate. After culturing for 24 hours, half of the supernatant is discarded and HAT (containing hypoxanthine, aminopterin, and thymidine) medium is added. Thereafter, this operation was repeated every 48 hours for 2 weeks. Since both myeloma cells and splenocytes cannot proliferate in HAT medium, the proliferating cells are considered to be hybridomas. Therefore, the antibody activity was examined in the culture solution in which hybridomas that had grown after 10 to 14 days were observed.

From these, one clone for each of the H chain and L chain was selected, and the cDNA base sequence was determined by Sanger
This was done by the dideoxy method of et al. cDNA of the desired antibody
Confirmation that it was A was performed by separately separating and purifying the antibody produced by this hybridoma according to a conventional method, determining the N-terminal amino acid sequence according to a conventional method, and checking the agreement with the results. The amino acid sequences of the variable regions of the heavy chain and light chain predicted from the determined nucleotide sequences were determined from No. 1 to No. 1 of SEQ ID NO: 1, respectively.
No. 20 and No. 1 to No. 109 of SEQ ID NO: 2. In addition, No. -1 to No. -19 of SEQ ID NO: 1 and No. -1 to No. -20 of SEQ ID NO: 2 represent a signal sequence. In addition, the difference from the amino acid sequence of the anti-CEA mouse monoclonal antibody described in JP-A-60-155132 is shown in Figure 1.
and shown in FIG. In FIG. 1, the entire amino acid sequence of the heavy chain variable region represented by SEQ ID NO: 1 is shown in the upper row, and the lower row shows the amino acid sequence of the anti-CEA mouse monoclonal antibody reported by Genentech, SEQ ID NO::
Only amino acid residues that do not match the amino acid sequence represented by 1 are shown. In FIG. 2, the amino acid sequence of the light chain variable region is shown in a similar format.

[0018] The base sequence of the anti-CEA mouse monoclonal antibody that we obtained in the present invention is disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 60-15
The antibody CEA mouse monoclonal antibody described in Publication No. 5132 differs from the CEA mouse monoclonal antibody in 24 out of 120 amino acids in the H chain and in 20 out of 109 amino acids in the L chain.
It can be seen that cDNA encoding a novel mouse monoclonal antibody that specifically binds to A was obtained. Thus, the DNA fragment of the present invention, whose amino acid sequence and base sequence have been revealed, can be converted into a DNA fragment without repeating the above-mentioned method.
It can be obtained with good reproducibility using an A-synthesizer or the like.
