Preparation of β-lactamase monoclonal antibody and polyclonal antibody

Preparation of β-lactamase monoclonal antibody and polyclonal antibody

At present, in China's dairy farming industry, β-lactam antibiotics such as penicillin and cephalosporin play an important role in the control of diseases such as cow mastitis. Because some dairy farming merchants abuse antibiotics and do not strictly adhere to the drug withdrawal period, the antibiotic residues in milk exceed the standard, and the residual antibiotics in the milk seriously endanger food safety and human health. The Chinese government implements standard controls on raw milk that exceeds a certain limit of antibiotics. Most domestic dairy companies have adopted price cuts or no acquisitions for milk with excessive antibiotic residues, while some illegal milk stations use some biological agents to degrade residual antibiotics in milk to produce artificial "no anti-milk".

After investigation, it is preliminarily judged that the main component of the commercially available biological preparation is β-lactamase, which is a family of enzymes composed of various enzymes produced and secreted by Gram-positive bacteria, and the relative molecular mass is between 28 and 32 ku. Selective decomposition of residual β-lactam antibiotics in milk. The β-lactamase is capable of destroying the penicillin lactam structure and rendering it inactive. The use of this enzyme masks the antibiotics actually contained in the milk. In 2007, Cui Shenghui and others collected 38 different types of milk samples produced by 5 manufacturers in Beijing retail supermarkets, of which 63.2% detected β-lactamase. Β-lactamase is one of the banned food additives in China, which can lead to increased resistance of antibiotics such as penicillin and cephalosporin, thereby greatly reducing people's ability to resist infectious diseases and harming consumers' physical and mental health. . In the list of illegally added non-edible substances in food and feed announced in China in 2009 and 2011, β-lactamase (Jinyulan enzyme preparation) was listed twice, and the detection method was determined by liquid chromatography.

The detection methods of β-lactamase in raw milk include microbial cup and saucer method, rapid kit method, liquid chromatography and double flow enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The microbial cup and saucer method is inexpensive. The kit method and the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay are simple in operation, fast in speed and specific in accordance with the basic characteristics of the antigen-antibody specific reaction. Liquid chromatography has the characteristics of short operating time, high sensitivity and accuracy, but the required experimental instruments are required.

The polyclonal antibody and monoclonal antibody of β-lactamase were prepared in this study, and it is proposed to lay the foundation for the subsequent development of colloidal gold immunochromatographic test strip by double-anti-sandwich method.

The first dose of β-lactamase was firstly immunized, dissolved in 50 μl of 0.1 mol/L Tris-HCL (pH 7), and fully emulsified in an equal volume of Freund's complete adjuvant. Two weeks later, the same dose of immunogen was emulsified with Freund's incomplete adjuvant for the second immunization, and subcutaneously injected into the abdominal cavity. First

After 3 immunizations, the titer of mouse antiserum was measured by ELISA. The mice with the highest titer were selected for fusion in the three groups, and the same dose of antigen solution was intraperitoneally injected for the first 3 days of fusion for booster immunization.

Compared with the octanoic acid-cold alcohol method, the octanoic acid-saturated ammonium sulfate method and the PEG60003 method, the monoclonal antibody purified by the PEG6000 method is not high in purity, but the antibody titer is best preserved.

3 Discussion

Metal β-lactamases are a class of β-lactamases that depend on divalent metal cations, which are widely hydrolyzed (including carbapenems, broad-spectrum cephalosporins, etc.) and various β-lactam antibiotics. It is not sensitive to commonly used β-lactamase inhibitors (such as clavulanic acid, sulbactam, etc.). According to molecular biology, Bush divided the 12 metalloenzymes with sequence data into three subgroups in 1997: B1, B2, B3. Most metalloenzymes belong to the B1 subgroup, and the molecular weight of the various enzymes of this subgroup is similar (about 28 ku), and the sequence identity is greater than 23%. The B2 subpopulation is similar in size to the B1 subpopulation but has lower homology. Only 9 amino acids in the B3 subgroup are significantly different from other metalloenzymes, and the molecular mass of the monomer is 31.7 ku. Although the amino acid sequence homology between the subgroups of metalloenzymes is not high, the steric structure of the enzyme protein formation is very similar, and the key residues in the metalloenzyme, especially the amino acid residues forming the metal bond, are highly conserved. In view of the structural characteristics of β-lactamase, a β-lactamase of better purity is selected as an immunogen. In order to allow the selected monoclonal antibody to better recognize the β-lactamase, the penicillinase of the laboratory was used as the coating. At present, most of the commercially available β-lactamase test colloidal gold test strips are indirect. The indirect method uses the principle of β-lactamase to digest penicillin, and mixes the milk sample with a trace amount of penicillin. If a certain concentration of β-lactamase is present in the milk, the concentration of penicillin is reduced after enzymatic hydrolysis by β-lactamase. The test strip is used to detect penicillin to determine whether β-lactamase is present in the milk, but the sample to be tested may be subjected to multiple centrifugation, incubation, etc., and then tested using a test strip. In this study, monoclonal antibodies and polyclonal antibodies against β-lactamase were developed, and the double-anti-sandwich method was used to directly detect the colloidal gold test strip. The advantage of this method is to reduce the reaction time and optimize the reaction steps.

In addition, bacterial resistance can also produce endogenous β-lactams. There are two main sources of endogenous β-lactamase in milk: one is produced by the bovine body itself, and the other is that some resistant microorganisms infected by the bovine itself continuously secrete and express β-lactamase. There is no report on whether the β-lactamase contained in the product is artificially added or resistant to bacteria, which is a new problem in regulating β-lactamase. Only strengthening the management of the whole process of animal husbandry and dairy production and improving the safety responsibility of the farmers is the basis for eliminating antibiotic residues and ensuring the safety of milk and dairy products.
