Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) is one of the major autoantigens in multiple sclerosis (MS), therefore selective depletion of autoreactive lymphocytes exposing MOG-specific B cell receptors (BCRs) would be beneficial in terms of MS treatment.
Using E. coli we generated an efficient protocol for the purification of the recombinant immunotoxin DT-MOG composed of the extracellular Ig-like domain of MOG fused in frame with the catalytic and translocation subunits of diphtheria toxin (DT, Corynebacterium diphtheriae) under native conditions with a final yield of 1.5 mg per liter of culture medium. Recombinant DT-MOG was recognized in vitro by MOG-reactive antibodies and has catalytic activity comparable with wild-type DT.
Enhanced pharmacokinetics (mean residence time in the bloodstream of 61 min) and minimized diminished nonspecific toxicity (LD50 = 1.76 mg/kg) of the DT-MOG makes it a potential candidate for the immunotherapy of MS.
髓鞘少突胶质细胞糖蛋白(MOG)是多发性硬化症(MS)的主要自身抗原之一,因此,选择性清除暴露MOG特异性B细胞受体(BCR)的自身反应性淋巴细胞对MS治疗有益。
我们利用大肠杆菌建立了一种高效的重组免疫毒素DT-MOG纯化方案,该免疫毒素由MOG的细胞外Ig样结构域与白喉毒素(DT,白喉棒状杆菌)的催化亚基和转位亚基读码框融合而成,在天然条件下每升培养基最终产量为1.5毫克。重组DT-MOG在体外被MOG反应性抗体识别,并且具有与野生型DT相当的催化活性。
DT-MOG增强的药代动力学(在血液中的平均驻留时间为61分钟)和最小化的非特异性毒性(半数致死量=1.76毫克/千克)使其成为MS免疫治疗的潜在候选药物。
