Abstract
In the field of Hepatitis B virus (HBV) detection, disclosed are a method for detecting HBcAg by means of using a double antibody sandwich method, and an antibody and kit for detecting HBcAg; also included is a monoclonal antibody that can be used in the immunological detection of HBcAg in a tissue or cell sample.
Claims19
A method for detecting the presence or level of HBcAg protein in a sample, comprising the steps of:
- (1) contacting the sample with a first antibody to form an antibody-antigen complex, wherein the first antibody is selected from an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof that specifically binds to positions 150-183 of HBcAg protein;
- (2) contacting the antibody-antigen complex with a second antibody to form an antibody-antigen-antibody complex, wherein the second antibody is selected from an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof that specifically binds to positions 141-154 of HBcAg protein;
- and
- (3) determining an amount of the antibody-antigen-antibody complex;
- wherein the first antibody is selected from the following antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof:
- (i) an antibody or an antigen-binding fragment thereof, which comprises:
- a heavy chain variable region (VH) comprising the following 3 complementarity determining regions (CDRs):
- HCDR1 having a sequence set forth in SEO ID NO:
- 3, HCDR2 having a sequence set forth in SEO ID NO:
- 4, and HCDR3 having a sequence set forth in SEO ID NO:
- 5;
- and, a light chain variable region (VL) comprising the following 3 complementarity determining regions (CDRs):
- LCDR1 having a sequence set forth in SEO ID NO:
- 6, LCDR2 having a sequence set forth in SEO ID NO:
- 7, and LCDR3 having a sequence set forth in SEO ID NO:
- 8;
- or,
- (ii) an antibody or an antigen-binding fragment thereof, which comprises:
- a heavy chain variable region (VH) comprising 3 CDRs contained in the VH set forth in SEO ID NO:
- 1;
- and a light chain variable region (VL) comprising 3 CDRs contained in the VL set forth in SEO ID NO:
- 2;
- wherein the 3 CDRs contained in the VH and the 3 CDRs contained in the VL are defined by the Kabat, Chothia or IMGT numbering system;
- or,
- (iii) an antibody or an antigen-binding fragment thereof, wherein the antibody is a monoclonal antibody produced by a hybridoma cell line 18B2-2 which is deposited in the China Center for Type Culture Collection (CCTCC) and has the deposit number of CCTCC NO. C2019303;
- and wherein the second antibody is selected from the following antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof:
- (i) an antibody or an antigen-binding fragment thereof, comprising:
- a heavy chain variable region (VH) comprising the following 3 complementarity determining regions (CDRs):
- HCDR1 having a sequence set forth in SEO ID NO:
- 11, HCDR2 having a sequence set forth in SEO ID NO:
- 12, and HCDR3 having a sequence set forth in SEO ID NO:
- 13;
- and a light chain variable region (VL) comprising the following 3 complementarity determining regions (CDRs):
- LCDR1 having a sequence set forth in SEO ID NO:
- 14, LCDR2 having a sequence set forth in SEO ID NO:
- 15, and LCDR3 having a sequence set forth in SEO ID NO:
- 16;
- or,
- (ii) an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof, which comprises:
- a heavy chain variable region (VH) comprising 3 CDRs contained in the VH set forth in SEO ID NO:
- 9;
- and a light chain variable region (VL) comprising 3 CDRs contained in the VL set forth in SEO ID NO:
- 10;
- wherein the 3 CDRs contained in the VH and the 3 CDRs contained in the VL are defined by the Kabat, Chothia or IMGT numbering system;
- or,
- (iii) an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof, wherein the antibody is a monoclonal antibody produced by a hybridoma cell line 2A7 which is deposited in the China Center for Type Culture Collection (CCTCC) and has the deposit number of CCTCC NO. C2019302.
A monoclonal antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof capable of specifically binding to HBcAg, wherein,
- (i) the monoclonal antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof comprises:
- a heavy chain variable region (VH) comprising the following 3 complementarity determining regions (CDRs):
- HCDR1 having a sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:
- 11, HCDR2 having a sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:
- 12, and HCDR3 having a sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:
- 13;
- and, a light chain variable region (VL) comprising the following 3 complementarity determining regions (CDRs):
- LCDR1 having a sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:
- 14, LCDR2 having a sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:
- 15, and LCDR3 having a sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:
- 16;
- or,
- (ii) an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof, which comprises:
- a heavy chain variable region (VH) comprising 3 CDRs contained in a heavy chain variable region set forth in SEQ ID NO:
- 9;
- and, a light chain variable region (VL) comprising 3 CDRs contained in a light chain variable region set forth in SEQ ID NO:
- 10;
- wherein the 3 CDRs contained in the heavy chain variable region, and/or the 3 CDRs contained in the light chain variable region are defined by the Kabat, Chothia or IMGT numbering system;
- or,
- (iii) an antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof, wherein the antibody is a monoclonal antibody produced by a hybridoma cell line 2A7 which is deposited in the China Center for Type Culture Collection (CCTCC) and has the deposit number of CCTCC NO. C2019302.
