单克隆抗体组

(一)本组简介

本组主要负责人为陈毅歆教授,现有博后3名,在读博士生7名、在读硕士生10名、技术员5名,是一个充满活力和不断进取的科研小组。本组主要从事流感等人类病毒性传染病和肿瘤等慢性疾病的诊断、治疗和预防领域的基础与应用研究。依托成熟的小鼠、大鼠、禽和兔等单克隆抗体制备技术平台,筛选出各种功能性抗体,辅助疾病关键靶标的基础发现研究,进而指导疫苗、抗病毒药物和诊断试剂的应用转化研究。相关研究成果在Lancet Respiratory MedicineScience BulletinNature CommunicationSci Transl MedPNASTheranosticsJ VirolJ Infect DisClin Microbiol InfectEmerg Microbes InfectVirologySCI刊物上发表50多篇研究论文,其中201710月在Science子刊Science Translational Medicine发表的有关乙型流感病毒血凝素头部区广谱中和抗体的研究论文在国际上产生较大影响,流感专家美国科学院院士Peter PaleseNature撰文评述该研究发现为通用流感疫苗研发带来新的启示;获得美、欧、澳、中等国的发明专利授权18件;研制的诊断试剂盒获得国家药监局颁发的医疗器械注册证16项;禽流感治疗性抗体药物完成临床前研究,获得国家药监局的临床受理1项;研制的鼻喷流感载体新冠疫苗已在我国获批紧急使用; 获得福建省科技奖励2项、厦门市科技奖励3项。目前主要涉及四个研究主题。

 

1. 流感以及基于流感载体的新冠疫苗研究主题

流感病毒种类繁多且高度变异,长期危害人类健康。我们致力于研究流感病毒的变异规律、寻找其不变的保守靶点,指导通用流感疫苗、广谱抗流感治疗药物和广谱流感诊断试剂的研究,最终实现“一经免疫终身保护”的效果。2005年我们发现禽流感H5N1病毒的首个血凝素(HA)广谱中和抗体及靶标,并首次提出流感病毒高变异的HA蛋白中存在保守表位的新概念,引领了以HA为靶标的广谱流感抗体药物和通用流感疫苗的研究热潮,其中的H5 HA广谱单抗因诊断性能优越于2006年获得美国KPCB风险投资公司在中国生物医药领域的首个研究合约。2013年我们研制的跨亚型流感HA广谱中和单抗及靶标再次获得全球制药巨头法国赛诺菲巴斯德公司的通用流感疫苗研究合约,成为该公司在中国疫苗研发领域的第一个合作项目。同时课题组基于流感病毒减毒活疫苗载体DelNS1,初步证实了携带新冠病毒保护性基因的减毒流感病毒载体新冠肺炎疫苗可诱导出流感和新冠的特异性免疫应答,是实现流感和新冠肺炎通用疫苗的可行策略,并初步阐明减毒流感病毒载体新冠肺炎疫苗的保护方式及分子机制,疫苗是国内外最早进入临床试验以及迄今唯一在三期临床试验中验证了安全性和广谱有效性的黏膜免疫新冠疫苗,目前已在我国获批紧急使用。


2. 溶瘤病毒研究主题

溶瘤病毒治疗作为一种新型免疫治疗手段已成为癌症治疗研究的新方向,溶瘤病毒不仅能选择性地杀伤癌细胞,还可以在体内诱发特异性的肿瘤免疫杀伤作用。课题组创新性发现伪狂犬病毒对人肿瘤细胞系具有广谱杀伤活性,在肿瘤模型中展现出了良好的溶瘤疗效,并提交了首个伪狂犬病毒用于肿瘤治疗的相关专利,现已获得中国、日本等多国授权。课题组通过Crisper/Cas9基因编辑技术对病毒基因组进行基因编辑,筛选出安全好、溶瘤活性显著的候选分子,并推动其进行产业化转化,为肿瘤患者开发出新型治疗性药物。


3. 抗体平台研究主题

与被广泛应用的小鼠单抗相比,兔产生的抗体具有独特优势,兔免疫系统可产生更多样的 CDR序列,可获得更多高亲和力和高特异性抗体。对于在小鼠体内无法激起免疫反应的抗原,如小分子、肽段、某些细胞因子及膜蛋白等,兔子体内往往可以达到较好的免疫效果进而获得目标抗体。基于课题组前期构建的兔抗筛选平台,团队主要靶向EB病毒、新冠病毒、肿瘤靶点、免疫靶点等靶标进行抗体筛选工作。在EBV抗体筛选工作中,团队靶向EBV包膜糖蛋白筛选高效中和单抗,结合成熟的体内外功能评价方法和冰冻电镜技术解析关键中和表位,对病毒感染机制进行探究,通过多种展示载体构建表位疫苗以评价不同靶点发展成为EB病毒疫苗的潜力。抗体文库的构建与筛选已成为单抗筛选的重要手段,依托于兔抗筛选平台的研究基础,团队开展了哺乳动物细胞表面展示抗体库技术的研究,利用病毒介导的文库构建,通过哺乳动物细胞表达更接近天然构象的抗体,同时可实现基于流式细胞术分选抗原特异性的细胞。基于病毒介导的哺乳动物细胞展示抗体库是对目前已有的噬菌体展示抗体库的重要补充。


4.肿瘤治疗靶标或肿瘤标志物研究主题

癌症严重危害人类健康,发现新型肿瘤干预靶标,对研制新型肿瘤治疗性抗体药物具有重要意义。另外,肿瘤特异性靶标的相关肿瘤标志物对于肿瘤的早期诊断、治疗预后监测均有重要意义。我们拟通过基于功能抗体的肿瘤靶标正向筛选技术,发现肿瘤新靶标,进而指导肿瘤治疗性抗体药物和肿瘤标志物诊断试剂盒的研发,帮助提升我国癌症患者的生存率。
