The affinity test is detected in a dual-channel mode: diluting the reconstituted lipoprotein in 10 mM PBS at a pH of 7.4, and injecting into the reference channel and the A-fixed channel at a speed of 30 l/min, wherein contact time is 100 s or 300 s, and dissociation time is 400 s. Results are analyzed using the Biacore T200Evaluation Software program, and affinity value is calculated using 1:1 binding model.

The affinity constants of the reconstituted lipoprotein modified by the 5% of cardiolipin prepared according to the same method with A1-42 monomer and oligomer are (14.962.51)10-9 and (6.064.66)10-9 M, respectively; and the affinity constants of the reconstituted lipoprotein modified by the 10% of sulfatide prepared according to the same method with A1-42 monomer and oligomer are 68.2610-9 and (18.157.34)10-9 M, respectively.

[0065] A 16HBE cell line serves as the in vitro nasal mucosa cell model, and cellular uptake of the reconstituted lipoprotein modified by the monosialoteterahexosyl ganglioside are investigated.
[0066] (1) Preparation
[0067] The reconstituted lipoprotein modified by the monosialoteterahexosyl ganglioside is prepared according to the same method in embodiment 1.
[0068] (2) Cellular Uptake of the Reconstituted Lipoprotein Modified by Monosialoteterahexosyl Ganglioside in the 16HBE Cell Line.
[0069] Steps: inoculating 16HBE into 96-well plates, culturing for 24 h, and conducting the experiment; diluting the formulation to 50, 100, 250, 500 and 800 g/m with DMEM, adding the material into the above 96-well plates, and incubating at 37 C. for 4 h; fixing the cells in 3.7% of formaldehyde, performing Hoechst nucleus staining after PBS washing, and performing quantitative analysis using a high-content analysis.

Embodiment 5. Intra-Cerebral Delivery Efficiency of a Reconstituted Lipoprotein Modified by Monosialoteterahexosyl Ganglioside Via Nasal Delivery

[0071] 125I is labeled onto the reconstituted lipoprotein modified by monosialoteterahexosyl ganglioside via Bolton-Hunter method. Results show that, following nasal administration in ICR mice, the maximal concentration (Cmax) of the 125I-labeled reconstituted lipoprotein modified by monosialoteterahexosyl ganglioside accounting for 5% of the molar ratio of the total lipids in the cortex and hippocampus is 0.0434% ID/g, and is 75% higher than that of the 125I-labeled unmodified reconstituted lipoprotein; and the AUC all in the cortex and hippocampus is 0.2956% ID/g.Math.h, which is 85% higher than that of the unmodified reconstituted lipoprotein; and the AUC all in blood is 9.8650% ID/g.Math.h, which is 80% higher than that of the unmodified reconstituted lipoprotein. However, the AUCCortex+Hippocampus/AUCblood of the two preparations is close to each other, which indicates that the reconstituted lipoprotein modified by monosialoteterahexosyl ganglioside has higher nasal mucosa absorption efficiency than the unmodified reconstituted lipoprotein. But along with an increase of the monosialoteterahexosyl ganglioside modification degree from 5% to 10%, 20%, 30% and 40%, the intra-cerebral delivery characteristic of the formulations is not obviously increased, but shows a certain decline trend. Intra-cerebral distribution of a high-density 125I-labeled reconstituted lipoprotein modified by monosialoteterahexosyl ganglioside accounting for 20% of the molar ratio of the total lipids is slightly higher than that of an unmodified high-density reconstituted lipoprotein (increased by 25.9%), the intra-cerebral distribution of a 125I-labeled high-density reconstituted lipoprotein modified by monosialoteterahexosyl ganglioside accounting for 30% of the molar ratio of the total lipids is equivalent to that of the unmodified high-density reconstituted lipoprotein (102.3%), and the intra-cerebral distribution of a high-density 125I-labeled reconstituted lipoprotein modified by monosialoteterahexosyl ganglioside accounting for 40% of the molar ratio of the total lipids is lower than that of the unmodified high-density reconstituted lipoprotein (87.2%).

The platform is about 1 cm lower than a water surface. A bottom of the pool, the platform and four walls are painted black by food dyes, so that the platform is invisible. Swimming trajectories of the mice are monitored and recorded by the Morris water maze video analysis system 2.0. A hidden platform test is used for training and measuring the spatial learning abilities of the mice, lasting for 5 days. The platform is fixed in the center of the quadrant area I; the mice are put into water towards pool walls from the start points in the quadrant areas I, II, III and IV according to a random principle; and routes of the mice from a moment of entering the water and searching to a moment of finding and climbing up the black platform, the needed time (escape latency), swimming speeds and the like are monitored and recorded by a computer. If a mouse does not find the platform within 60s, the mouse should be led to the platform and stopped for 30s, and the escape latency is recorded as 60s. Each mouse is trained by 4 times per day, and a training interval is 30s each time.

Embodiment 12. Method for Increasing Brain Delivery of A Polypeptide Vaccine by the Reconstituted Lipoprotein Mediated by Modification of Monosialoteterahexosyl Ganglioside
[0089] steps: preparing the reconstituted lipoprotein modified by monosialoteterahexosyl ganglioside according to the above method, adding an 125I-labeled A polypeptide vaccine and co-incubating for 5 min; performing intravenous injection of the mixture, collecting the brain tissues at 1 h after injection, and detecting the radioactive intensity of the 125I-labeled A polypeptide vaccine in the brain by a -ray counter. Results show that, compared with single injection of A polypeptide vaccine, the co-incubation with reconstituted lipoprotein modified by monosialoteterahexosyl ganglioside increases the intra-cerebral amount of A polypeptide vaccine by 76.47%, while the co-incubation with unmodified reconstituted lipoprotein only increases the intra-cerebral amount of A polypeptide vaccine by 11.44%. The result indicates that, by virtue of simple co-incubation, the reconstituted lipoprotein modified by monosialoteterahexosyl ganglioside can effectively increase the intra-cerebral delivery of a polypeptide drug with an intra-cerebral transport characteristic, and such effect could be more striking for the brain delivery of those drugs that are difficult to enter the brain.
[0090] The above only describes preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be noted that, those ordinary skilled in the art may make several improvements and modifications on premise of not deviating from a principle of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as a protection scope of the present invention.
