Development of recombinant scFv-antibodies against diphtheria toxin using phage display system

Phage display technology is an effective approach to the development of the next generation of immunodiagnostic reagents.

Ribosome display and selection of human anti-cD22 scFvs derived from an acute lymphocytic leukemia patient

Novel in vitro methods for the display of antibody libraries against disease-related antigens have led to the development of powerful protein-based biotherapeutics. Eukaryotic ternary ribosome complexes can be used to display human single chain antibodies (scFvs) to isolate specific binding reagents to these antigens. Here, we present the isolation of human scFv against the immunotherapeutic target antigen CD22 from a patient-derived human scFv library using ribosome display technology. The ribosome complexes were enriched against the extra-cellular domain of human CD22 conjugated to magnetic beads. Isolated constructs were further affinity-matured and specific binding activity was demonstrated by surface plasmon resonance and validated using in vitro cell assays. The isolated human anti-CD22 scFvs can provide a basis for the development of new immunotherapeutic strategies in CD22-expressing malignant diseases.     

Intracellular ribosome display via SecM translation arrest as a selection for antibodies with enhanced cytosolic stability

Ribosome display is a powerful approach for affinity and stability maturation of recombinant antibodies. However, since ribosome display is performed entirely in vitro, there are several limitations to this approach including technical challenges associated with: (i) efficiently expressing and stalling antibodies on ribosomes using cell-free translation mixtures; and (ii) folding of antibodies in buffers where the concentration and composition of factors varies from that found in the intracellular milieu. We have developed a novel method for intracellular ribosome display that takes advantage of the recently discovered Escherichia coli SecM translation arrest mechanism. Specifically, we provide the first evidence that the encoding mRNA of SecM-stalled heterologous proteins remains stably attached to ribosomes, thereby enabling creation of stalled antibody-ribosome-mRNA (ARM) complexes entirely inside of living cells. Since ARM complexes faithfully maintain a genotype-phenotype link between the arrested antibody and its encoding mRNA, we demonstrate that this method is ideally suited for isolating stability-enhanced single-chain variable fragment (scFv) antibodies that are efficiently folded and functional in the bacterial cytoplasm.     

Selection of Anti-Sulfadimidine Specific ScFvs from a Hybridoma Cell by Eukaryotic Ribosome Display

Background

Ribosome display technology has provided an alternative platform technology for the development of novel low-cost antibody based on evaluating antibiotics derived residues in food matrixes.

Methodology/Principal Findings

In our current studies, the single chain variable fragments (scFvs) were selected from hybridoma cell lines against sulfadimidine (SM₂) by using a ribosome library technology. A DNA library of scFv antibody fragments was constructed for ribosome display, and then mRNA–ribosome–antibody (MRA) complexes were produced by a rabbit reticulocyte lysate system. The synthetic sulfadimidine-ovalbumin (SM₂-OVA) was used as an antigen to pan MRA complexes and putative scFv-encoding genes were recovered by RT-PCR in situ following each panning. After four rounds of ribosome display, the expression vector pCANTAB5E containing the selected specific scFv DNA was constructed and transformed into Escherichia coli HB2151. Three positive clones (SAS14, SAS68 and SAS71) were screened from 100 clones and had higher antibody activity and specificity to SM₂ by indirect ELISA. The three specific soluble scFvs were identified to be the same molecular weight (approximately 30 kDa) by Western-blotting analysis using anti-E tag antibodies, but they had different amino acids sequence by sequence analysis.

Conclusions/Significance

The selection of anti-SM₂ specific scFv by in vitro ribosome display technology will have an important significance for the development of novel immunodetection strategies for residual veterinary drugs.     

A new approach for rapidly reshaping single-chain antibody in vitro by combining DNA shuffling with ribosome display

Antibody reshaping is an effective way to reduce the immunogenicity while maintaining or improving the affinity of murine antibodies. This paper describe a new in vitro approach for rapidly reshaping murine antibodies by combining DNA shuffling with ribosome display. With the new method, a reshaping anti-4-1BB single-chain antibody (scFv), Re-4B4-1 scFv, which bound to its antigen (4-1BB) specifically and strongly, was selected from a reshaping library. These results proved definitely the feasibility of the new designed approach for antibody reshaping.     

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.
