摘要

Immunisation of mice or rats with a "non-self” protein is a commonly used method to obtain monoclonal antibodies, and relies on the immune system's ability to recognise the immunogen as foreign. Immunisation of an antigen with 100% identity to the endogenous protein, however, will not elicit a robust immune response. To develop antibodies to mouse proteins, we focussed on the potential for breaking such immune tolerance by genetically fusing two independent T cell epitope-containing sequences (from tetanus toxin (TT) and diphtheria toxin fragment A (DTA)) to a mouse protein, mouse ST2 (mST2). Wild-type CD1 mice were immunised with three mST2 tagged proteins (Fc, TT and DTA) and the specific serum response was determined. Only in mice immunised with the T-cell epitope-containing antigens were specific mST2 serum responses detected, hybridomas generated from these mice secreted highly sequence-diverse IgGs that were capable of binding mST2 and inhibiting the interaction of mST2 with its' ligand, mouse IL-33 (mIL-33). Of the hundreds of antibodies profiled we identified five potent antibodies that were able to inhibit IL-33 induced IL-6 release in a mast cell assay, notably one such antibody was sufficiently potent to suppress IL-5 release and eosinophilia infiltration in an Alternaria alternata challenge mouse model of asthma. This study has demonstrated, for the first time, that T-cell epitope-containing tags have the ability to break tolerance in wild-type mice to 100% conserved proteins and provide a compelling argument for the broader usage of this approach to generate antibodies against any mouse protein or conserved orthologue.
