An anti-leukemic single chain Fv antibody selected from a synthetic human phage antibody library

The display of human antibody repertoire on the cell surface of the filamentous bacteriophage has offered a novel strategy for selecting antibodies to a diverse range of purified targets. However, the selection of antibodies with biological functions has not yet been fully investigated. To select phage antibodies with therapeutic potential, a synthetic human single chain Fv (scFv) phage antibody library was panned on whole premyelocytic leukemia cell line (HL60). Phages binding to common receptors and undesirable phages were subtracted by incubating the library with human glioma cells. High affinity binding phages to HL60 cells were enriched by fluorescence-activated cell sorting. After the 6th round of selection, 50% of the selected phage antibodies showed significant binding to HL60 cells, whereas none of the analyzed phage antibodies bound to human pre-B cells (Nalm-6). In addition to binding, one scFv antibody inhibited HL60 cell proliferation by 90% compared to irrelevant scFv antibodies. Taken together the data demonstrate that specific scFv antibodies with biological functions can be isolated by using whole cells as affinity matrix.     

Isoenzyme-directed selection and characterization of anti-creatine kinase single chain Fv antibodies from a human phage display library

Epitopes differing among isoenzymes of creatine kinase (CK) are apparently limited in number and poorly immunogenic in vivo. Especially for the BB-CK isoenzyme, very few monoclonal antibodies (mAb) are available. Here, we use in vitro selection with a synthetic human phage display antibody library and develop isoenzyme competition and peptide panning strategies to obtain human single chain Fv (scFv) antibodies against specific CK isoenzymes. We isolated and characterized seven scFv clones that recognize native as well as denatured cytosolic BB-CK in ELISA, immunoblot, immunofluorescence histochemistry and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) spectroscopy. To a variable but minor degree, they also react with cytosolic MM-CK, but not with mitochondrial CK isoenzymes. Epitope mapping revealed that the scFv antibodies recognize different BB-CK epitopes, including the N-terminus and the isoenzyme-specific box, a highly conserved sequence of unknown function for which no mAb were available so far. With a K(D) of 3.5-9.6 x 10(-7) M, the isolated scFv compare favorably with mouse mAb and may overcome certain of their limitations. Our results demonstrate the advantages of in vitro antibody selection for the generation of isoenzyme-specific antibodies.     

De novo identification of cell-type specific antibody-antigen pairs by phage display subtraction. Isolation of a human single chain antibody fragment against human keratin 14.

The aim of this study was to identify novel antibodies directed against cytosolic keratinocyte-specific antigens from a phage display antibody repertoire by using phage display subtraction. Phage display is a method of displaying foreign molecules on the surface of filamentous bacteriophage particles. It allows the interaction between two cognate molecules to be analysed through affinity selections. Recently, large repertoires of phage displayed human antibody fragments have been constructed. From such repertoires, antibodies can be obtained in vitro without the need for immunization or the hybridoma technology. A novel subtractive strategy for selecting antibodies from phage libraries was applied. Phage antibodies were selected against immobilized crude lysates of cultured human keratinocytes, the target antigens being unknown beforehand. A competing cell lysate was used to reduce retrieval of phage antibodies with specificities to commonly non-differentially expressed antigens. A monoclonal single chain fragment variable (scFv) with specificity for crude lysates of cultured human keratinocytes was identified as demonstrated by ELISA assays and immunoblotting analysis. The cognate keratinocyte antigen was shown to be keratin 14 (K14) by using immunoblotting based on 2D PAGE and a corresponding 2D PAGE protein database. In accordance with the expected tissue localization of K14, the identified scFv stained the basal layer of human epidermis by indirect immunofluorescence analysis. Starting with crude cell lysates, phage display subtraction in combination with 2D PAGE and 2D PAGE protein databases can be used to identify antibody-antigen pairs that characterize a specific cell type.     

Generation of a murine single chain Fv (scFv) antibody specific for cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) using a phage display library

With the long-term goal of generating CMV-resistant transgenic plants using antibody genes, a single-chain variable fragment (scFv) antibody that binds to the cucumber mosaic virus was isolated from a scFv phage display library by four rounds of affinity selection with CMV-Mf as an antigen. The scFv has the identical binding specificity to CMV as a monoclonal antibody that is generated by the hybridoma fusion technique, and recognized purified preparations of CMV isolates belonging to either subgroup I or II in immunoblotting. The nucleotide sequences of the recombinant antibody showed that a heavy chain variable region (V(H)) gene belonged to the VH3 subgroup and the kappa light chain variable region (V kappa) came from the Vkappa4 subgroup. Our results demonstrate that the scFv phage display library, an alternative approach to the traditional hybridoma fusion technique, has a potential applicability in the study of plant virus and plant pathology.     

Screening of single-chain variable fragments against TSP50 from a phage display antibody library and their expression as soluble proteins

A novel gene, testes-specific protease 50 (TSP50), is abnormally activated and differentially expressed in most patients with breast cancer, suggesting it as a novel biomarker for this disease. The possibility that TSP50 may be an oncogene is presently under investigation. In this study, the single-chain variable fragments (scFvs) against TSP50 were panned from a phage display antibody library using TSP50-specific peptide, pep-50, as a target antigen. After 4 rounds of panning, 3 clones (A1, A11, and C8) from the library were verified to show strong binding affinities for TSP50 by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and to contain the variable region genes of the light and heavy chains of scFv antibodies but different complementary determining regions by sequencing. The genes of scFv-A1 and scFv-A11 were cloned into expression vector pPELB and successfully expressed as a soluble protein inEscherichia coli Rosetta. The yields of expressions were about 4.0 to 5.0 mg of protein from 1 L of culture. The expressed proteins were purified by a 2-step procedure consisting of ion-exchange chromatography, followed by immobilized metal affinity chromatography. The purified proteins were shown a single band at the position of 31 KDa on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Sandwich ELISA demonstrated that the expressed scFv proteins were able to specifically react with pep-50, laying a foundation for the investigation of the function of TSP50 in the development and treatment of breast cancer.     

Construction, screening and identification of a phage display antibody library against the Eimeria acervulina merozoite

A single-chain antibody library against Eimeria acervulina merozoites was constructed by phage display approach. Antibody-displaying phage was selected in four panning rounds against cryopreserved E. acervulina merozoites. Five clones were randomly selected from the fourth panning round, and their nucleotide sequences were aligned and compared to mouse germ-line sequences. Soluble antibody was produced in a non-suppressor Escherichia coli strain, purified by protein A affinity chromatography, and characterized by Western-blotting. Immunofluorescence assay showed localization of the produced recombinant antibody fragment on the surface E. acervulina merozoites. These resultant antibody fragments showed high specificity and binding capacity for soluble antigens and intact fixed merozoites which seems promising as diagnostic, therapeutic and/or vaccine tools against coccidiosis.     

A single-chain Fv fragment 2A3 specific for native lysozyme: isolation from a human synthetic phage display antibody library and characterization

We have isolated from a human synthetic phage display library a clone, 2A3, which discriminates native lysozyme from denatured forms. Binding of single-chain Fv fragments (scFvs) of the clone to native hen egg white lysozyme was competitively inhibited by native hen egg white (hew) and human (h) lysozymes. Dot blotting analysis indicated that scFv of the clone did not react with denatured lysozymes. The K(d) values for scFv of 2A3 binding to native hew- and h-lysozymes were 3.78 x 10(-9) and 9.31 x 10(-9) M, respectively, indicating that 2A3 binds more strongly to native hew-lysozyme than to native h-lysozyme. The deduced amino acid sequence of the V(H) chain-CDR3 region of 2A3 was RRYALDY, of which the Arg residues at positions 1 and 2 of the CDR3 region were observed to be extremely rare in other antibodies by homology analysis. Based on these observations, site-directed mutagenesis of the RRYALDY-coding region was carried out. The results, combined with biomolecular analyses, demonstrated that Arg residues at positions 1 and 2 of this region were important for native lysozyme-binding.     

Homology modelling and bivalent single-chain Fv construction of anti-HepG2 single-chain immunoglobulin Fv fragments from a phage display library

We prepared single-chain immunoglobulin Fv fragments (scFv) SLH10 specific for the HepG2 cell line after biopanning from a large human-naïe phage display library (Griffin. 1 Library). The three-dimensional (3D) structure of SLH10 was modelled by the Insight II molecule simulation software. The structure was refined using the molecular dynamics method. The structures with the least steric clashes and lowest energy were determined finally. The optimized structures of heavy (VH) and light (VL) variable chains of SLH10 scFv were obtained. Then SLH10 bivalent single-chain Fv (BsFv) was constructed that would be suitable for high-affinity targeting. SLH10 BsFv was generated by linking scFvs together and identified by sequencing. Its expression products were confirmed by western blot analysis. The relative molecular masses of scFv and BsFv were approximately 30 kDa and 60 kDa, respectively. Flow cytometry revealed that SLH10 BsFv bound the selected cell lines with greater signal intensity than the parental scFv. The improved antigen binding of SLH10 BsFv may be useful for immunodiagnostics or targeted gene therapy for liver cancer.
