A completely automated peptide mapping liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS) system for characterization of therapeutic proteins in which a common high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) autosampler is used for automated sample preparation, including protein denaturation, reduction, alkylation, and enzymatic digestion, is described. The digested protein samples are then automatically subjected to LC/MS analysis using the same HPLC system. The system was used for peptide mapping of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), known as a challenging group of therapeutic proteins for achieving complete coverage and quantitative representation of all peptides. Detailed sample preparation protocols, using an Agilent HPLC system, are described for Lys-C digestion of mAbs with intact disulfide bonds and tryptic digestion of mAbs after reduction and alkylation. The automated procedure of Lys-C digestion of nonreduced antibody, followed by postdigestion disulfide reduction, produces both the nonreduced and reduced digests that facilitate disulfide linkage analysis. The automated peptide mapping LC/MS system has great utility in preparing and analyzing multiple samples for protein characterization, identification, and quantification of posttranslational modifications during process and formulation development as well as for protein identity and quality control.  相似文献

Trichokirin-S1,a small ribosome-inactivating peptide recently purified from the seeds ofTrichosanthes kirilowii,has potential clinical applications because of its small molecular mass.Two stablestrains of hybridomas (1F11 and 2A5) that can secrete highly specific monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) againstTrichokirin-S1 have been developed using the hybridoma technique.The isotypes of these two mAbs,1F11and 2A5,were determined to be IgG_(2a) and IgG_1,respectively.The affinity constants,which were measuredby non-competitive ELISA,were found to be 2.3×10~8 M~(-1) and 2.8×10~8 M~(-1),respectively.An immunoaffinitymethod using 2A5-coupled Sepharose 4B was successfully developed to purify Trichokirin-S1.These twoantibodies have also been used to detect Trichokirin-S1 in Western blot.  相似文献

Poor solubility is a common challenge encountered during the development of high concentration monoclonal antibody (mAb) formulations, but there are currently no methods that can provide predictive information on high-concentration behavior of mAbs in early discovery. We explored the utility of methodologies used for determining extrapolated solubility as a way to rank-order mAbs based on their relative solubility properties. We devised two approaches to accomplish this: 1) vapor diffusion technique utilized in traditional protein crystallization practice, and 2) polyethylene glycol (PEG)-induced precipitation and quantitation by turbidity. Using a variety of in-house mAbs with known high-concentration behavior, we demonstrated that both approaches exhibited reliable predictability of the relative solubility properties of these mAbs. Optimizing the latter approach, we developed a format that is capable of screening a large panel of mAbs in multiple pH and buffer conditions. This simple, material-saving, high-throughput approach enables the selection of superior molecules and optimal formulation conditions much earlier in the antibody discovery process, prior to time-consuming and material intensive high-concentration studies.  相似文献

Therapeutic monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) possess a high degree of heterogeneity associated with the cell expression system employed in manufacturing, most notably glycosylation. Traditional immunoassay formats used to quantify therapeutic mAbs are unable to discriminate between different glycosylation patterns that may exist on the same protein amino acid sequence. Mass spectrometry provides a technique to distinguish specific glycosylation patterns of the therapeutic antibody within the same sample, thereby allowing for simultaneous quantification of the same mAb with different glycosylation patterns. Here we demonstrate a two-step approach to successfully differentiate and quantify serum mixtures of a recombinant therapeutic mAb produced in two different host cell lines (CHO vs. Sp2/0) with distinct glycosylation profiles. Glycosylation analysis of the therapeutic mAb, CNTO 328 (siltuximab), was accomplished through sample pretreatment consisting of immunoaffinity purification (IAP) and enrichment, followed by liquid chromatography (LC) and mass spectrometry (MS). LC-MS analysis was used to determine the percentage of CNTO 328 in the sample derived from either cell line based on the N-linked G1F oligosaccharide on the mAb. The relative amount of G1F derived from each cell line was compared with ratios of CNTO 328 reference standards prepared in buffer. Glycoform ratios were converted to concentrations using an immunoassay measuring total CNTO 328 that does not distinguish between the different glycoforms. Validation of the IAP/LC-MS method included intra-run and inter-run variability, method sensitivity and freeze-thaw stability. The method was accurate (%bias range = -7.30–13.68%) and reproducible (%CV range = 1.49–10.81%) with a LOQ of 2.5 μg/mL.  相似文献

BACKGROUND: Particulate surfaces such as beads are routinely used as platforms for molecular assembly for fundamental and practical applications in flow cytometry. Molecular assembly is transduced as the direct analysis of fluorescence, or as a result of fluorescence resonance energy transfer. Binding of fluorescent ligands to beads sometimes alters their emission yield relative to the unbound ligands. Characterizing the physical basis of factors that regulate the fluorescence yield of bound fluorophores (on beads) is a necessary step toward their rational use as mediators of numerous fluorescence based applications. METHODS: We have examined the binding between two biotinylated and fluoresceinated beta-endorphin peptides and commercial streptavidin beads using flow cytometric analysis. We have analyzed the assembly between a specific monoclonal antibody and an endorphin peptide in solution using resonance energy transfer and compared the results on beads in flow cytometry using steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence. RESULTS: We have defined conditions for binding biotinylated and fluoresceinated endorphin peptides to beads. These measurements suggest that the peptide structure can influence both the intensity of fluorescence and the mode of peptide binding on the bead surface. We have defined conditions for binding antibody to the bead using biotinylated protein A. We compared and contrasted the interactions between the fluoresceinated endorphin peptide and the rhodamine- labeled antibody. In solution we measure a K(d) of <38 nM by resonance energy transfer and on beads 22 nM. DISCUSSION: Some issues important to the modular assembly of a fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) based sensing scheme have been resolved. The affinity of peptides used herein is a function of their solubility in water, and the emission intensity of the bound species depends on the separation distance between the fluorescein and the biotin moiety. This is due to the quasi-specific quenching interaction between the fluorescein and a proximal binding pocket of streptavidin. Detection of antibodies in solution and on beads either by FRET or capture of fluorescent ligands by dark antibodies subsequently enables the determination of K(d) values, which indicate agreement between solution and flow cytometric determinations.  相似文献

Seven monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against the wheat allergen, Tri a Bd 17 K, were prepared to obtain mAbs suitable for a sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (sandwich ELISA) for determination of the allergen. Two of the mAbs strongly immunoblotted the allergen purified from wheat flour. However, only one (1G11) of them was found to be suitable for sandwich ELISA. Epitope mapping against mAb-1G11 on the allergen showed that the mAb recognized the peptide containing Lys-38 and Gln-39 of the allergen. We developed a sandwich ELISA method consisting of Aleuria aurantia lectin for fixing the allergen and 1G11 as the first antibody that enabled 4-4,000 ng/well of the allergen to be determined.  相似文献

A panel of four murine monoclonal IgG1 antibodies (mAbs) to a recombinant form of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) was produced using somatic cell fusion techniques. Non-linear regression analysis of radioimmunoassay data for each mAb yielded the following dissociation constants (nM) for their interactions with bFGF: DE6 (0.822); AF11 (2.0); FE8 (2.31); and DG2 (20.0). One of the mAbs, DG2, was identified as a bFGF neutralizing antibody on the basis of its ability to inhibit, in vitro, the binding of [125I]-bFGF to high and low affinity bFGF sites on cultured baby hamster kidney cells and bFGF-induced [3H]-thymidine incorporation in cultured 3T3 cells, and in vivo, the angiogenic response to bFGF in a rat kidney capsule model of angiogenesis. The other mAbs displayed varying inhibitory activities in these assays. These mAbs, particularly DG2, may be well suited for a number of applications in bFGF research including immunoassays, immunohistochemical studies, and as functional antagonists of bFGF for examining its role in physiological processes such as reproduction, growth, and development.  相似文献

This report describes the preparation and characterization of a panel of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against the myelin proteolipid protein (PLP). A Lewis rat was immunized with bovine proteolipid apoprotein and 27 mAbs were selected based on their reactivity against bovine PLP on enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. Eleven mAbs recognized the PLP carboxyl-terminal sequence when tested against a panel of synthetic peptides in a solid-phase assay. A carboxyl-terminal pentapeptide (residues 272-276) was sufficient for antibody binding and the terminal phenylalanine residue was found particularly important. Deletion, modification, or replacement of this residue markedly reduced or obliterated antigen-antibody interaction. Nine mAbs reacted with a second antigenic determinant, residues 209-217, but these could be identified only by competitive immunoassays. This peptide was a more effective inhibitor than the longer peptides 202-217 and 205-221, suggesting that flanking residues may interfere with peptide-antibody interaction. Seven antibodies did not react with any of the synthetic peptides tested and their determinants remain unidentified. Immunoblot analysis showed that the mAbs reacted with both the PLP and the DM-20 isoforms. Twenty-three of the mAbs were of the immunoglobulin G2a or b isotype; the remaining antibodies were immunoglobulin M and all of these were specific for residues 209-217. Cultured murine oligodendrocytes were stained by most of the mAbs tested, but the most intense reactivity was observed with the carboxyl-terminus-specific mAbs. The immunocytochemical analyses demonstrate that the mAbs react with the native PLP in situ and show their potential usefulness for studies of the cell biology of myelin and oligodendrocytes.  相似文献

This paper presents the equations and methodology for the measurement and interpretation of apparent dissociation constants for polyclonal populations of antibodies, where antigen is kept trace relative to antibody concentration. Surface plasmon resonance is used to determine K(d)s for the binding of anti-DNA antibodies to trace amounts of DNA antigen on a chip. Since the approach taken relies on equilibrium measurements, kinetic mass transport artifacts are avoided. The apparent K(d) is a weighted average of all the K(d)s for the clonally related subpopulations within the polyclonal pool, where each weighting factor is the relative titer (fractional presence) of the subpopulation. Titration curves appear as if there is one monoclonal population with that titer-weighted-average K(d). Implications of changes in the antibody affinity distribution within the population are discussed. The equations described herein provide a better physical understanding of the apparent K(d) that is obtained when a heterogeneous population of receptors is titrated against a trace ligand.  相似文献

N-glyco-occupancy and afucoslyation level are two important quality attributes associated with N-glycosylation of therapeutic monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). We report here a fast mass spectrometry-based workflow for quantification of N-glycan site-occupancy and afucoslyation level of mAbs with improved throughput, precision, sensitivity and robustness. This method uses the deglycosylation after the first GlcNAc and inter-chain reduction of the mAbs, followed by liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC-MS) analysis. The entire process can be completed within one hour, which provides a rapid quantitation of N-glyco-occupancy and afucosylation to support high-throughput cell line selection and process development for mAb biopharmaceuticals.  相似文献

With the growing interest for peptides and proteins in different kinds of fields, e.g. pharmacy, clinical diagnostics or food industry, the quantification of these compounds is becoming more and more important. Quantitative analysis of these analytes in biological matrices, however, remains a challenging task, due to the complexity of both the matrix and the analytical characteristics of these large bio-molecules. Liquid chromatography coupled to (tandem) mass spectrometry (LC-MS or LC-MS/MS) is the preferred analytical technique for peptide analysis as it allows very selective and sensitive measurements. This article summarizes the numerous published LC-MS applications for the quantification of peptides in biological matrices and discusses all different issues herewith concerned. This includes chromatographic aspects as the selection and effects of mobile and stationary phase, flow rate and temperature, as well as mass spectrometric characteristics such as ionization and detection modes, collision-induced dissociation of peptides and factors influencing the mass spectrometric response. For both techniques the main properties of all described methods have been listed, creating a comprehensive overview with the peptide analytes divided into different classes. Likewise, all other issues concerned with quantitative bioanalysis have been evaluated in detail, including extensive consideration of several different applied sample pre-treatment techniques and reflection of subjects as the choice for an internal standard and assay validation. Furthermore, several issues which are of particular interest for the quantitative bioanalysis of peptide compounds like peptide adsorption and degradation have been regarded.  相似文献

A systematic analytical approach combining tryptic and chymotryptic peptide mapping with a Mascot Error Tolerant Search (ETS) has been developed to detect and identify low level protein sequence variants, i.e., amino acid substitutions, in recombinant monoclonal antibodies. The reversed-phase HPLC separation with ultraviolet (UV) detection and mass spectral acquisition parameters of the peptide mapping methods were optimized by using a series of model samples that contained low levels (0.5–5.0%) of recombinant humanized anti-HER2 antibody (rhumAb HER2) along with another unrelated recombinant humanized monoclonal antibody (rhumAb A). This systematic approach’s application in protein sequence variant analysis depends upon time and sensitivity constraints. An example of using this approach as a rapid screening assay is described in the first case study. For stable CHO clone selection for an early stage antibody project, comparison of peptide map UV profiles from the top four clone-derived rhumAb B samples quickly detected two sequence variants (M83R at 5% and P274Tat 42% protein levels) from two clones among the four. The second case study described in this work demonstrates how this approach can be applied to late stage antibody projects. A sequence variant, L413Q, present at 0.3% relative to the expected sequence of rhumAb C was identified by a Mascot-ETS for one out of four top producers. The incorporation of this systematic sequence variant analysis into clone selection and the peptide mapping procedure described herein have practical applications for the biotechnology industry, including possible detection of polymorphisms in endogenous proteins.Key words: recombinant monoclonal antibody, cell line development, sequence variants, HPLC-UV/MS/MS, tryptic peptide mapping, Mascot error tolerant search  相似文献

A method has been developed for measurement of antibody affinity and cross-reactivity by surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy using the EK-coil heterodimeric coiled-coil peptide capture system. This system allows for reversible capture of synthetic peptide ligands on a biosensor chip surface, with the advantage that multiple antibody-antigen interactions can be analyzed using a single biosensor chip. This method has proven useful in the development of a synthetic peptide anti-Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) vaccine. Synthetic peptide ligands corresponding to the receptor binding domains of pilin from four strains of PA were conjugated to the E-coil strand of the heterodimeric coiled-coil domain and individually captured on the biosensor chip through dimerization with the immobilized K-coil strand. Polyclonal rabbit IgG raised against pilin epitopes was injected over the sensor chip surface for kinetic analysis of the antigen-antibody interaction. The kinetic rate constants, k(on) and k(off), and equilibrium association and dissociation constants, KA and KD, were calculated. Antibody affinities ranged from 1.14 x 10(-9) to 1.60 x 10(-5) M. The results suggest that the carrier protein and adjuvant used during immunization make a dramatic difference in antibody affinity and cross-reactivity. Antibodies raised against the PA strain K pilin epitope conjugated to keyhole limpet haemocyanin using Freund's adjuvant system were more broadly cross-reactive than antibodies raised against the same epitope conjugated to tetanus toxoid using Adjuvax adjuvant. The method described here is useful for detailed characterization of the interaction of polyclonal antibodies with a panel of synthetic peptide ligands with the objective of obtaining high affinity and cross-reactive antibodies in vaccine development.  相似文献

ABSTRACT

Accelerated development of monoclonal antibody (mAb) tool reagents is an essential requirement for the successful advancement of therapeutic antibodies in today’s fast-paced and competitive drug development marketplace. Here, we describe a direct, flexible, and rapid nanofluidic optoelectronic single B lymphocyte antibody screening technique (NanOBlast) applied to the generation of anti-idiotypic reagent antibodies. Selectively enriched, antigen-experienced murine antibody secreting cells (ASCs) were harvested from spleen and lymph nodes. Subsequently, secreted mAbs from individually isolated, single ASCs were screened directly using a novel, integrated, high-content culture, and assay platform capable of manipulating living cells within microfluidic chip nanopens using structured light. Single-cell polymerase chain reaction–based molecular recovery on select anti-idiotypic ASCs followed by recombinant IgG expression and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) characterization resulted in the recovery and identification of a diverse and high-affinity panel of anti-idiotypic reagent mAbs. Combinatorial ELISA screening identified both capture and detection mAbs, and enabled the development of a sensitive and highly specific ligand binding assay capable of quantifying free therapeutic IgG molecules directly from human patient serum, thereby facilitating important drug development decision-making. The ASC import, screening, and export discovery workflow on the chip was completed within 5 h, while the overall discovery workflow from immunization to recombinantly expressed IgG was completed in under 60 days.  相似文献

This study shows that state-of-the-art liquid chromatography (LC) and mass spectrometry (MS) can be used for rapid verification of identity and characterization of sequence variants and posttranslational modifications (PTMs) for antibody products. A candidate biosimilar IgG1 monoclonal antibody (mAb) was compared in detail to a commercially available innovator product. Intact protein mass, primary sequence, PTMs, and the micro-differences between the two mAbs were identified and quantified simultaneously. Although very similar in terms of sequences and modifications, a mass difference observed by LC-MS intact mass measurements indicated that they were not identical. Peptide mapping, performed with data independent acquisition LC-MS using an alternating low and elevated collision energy scan mode (LC-MSE), located the mass difference between the biosimilar and the innovator to a two amino acid residue variance in the heavy chain sequences. The peptide mapping technique was also used to comprehensively catalogue and compare the differences in PTMs of the biosimilar and innovator mAbs. Comprehensive glycosylation profiling confirmed that the proportion of individual glycans was different between the biosimilar and the innovator, although the number and identity of glycans were the same. These results demonstrate that the combination of accurate intact mass measurement, released glycan profiling, and LC-MSE peptide mapping provides a set of routine tools that can be used to comprehensively compare a candidate biosimilar and an innovator mAb.  相似文献

Thirty mouse monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) directed against rat calcitonin gene-related peptide-alpha (CGRP-alpha) have been obtained. These mAbs are classified in 2 groups, one recognizing the peptide N-terminus and the other binding the C-terminus. A two-site immunometric assay was developed using mAb CGRP-83 as capture antibody, whereas mAb CGRP-72 acts as tracer, covalently labeled with enzyme acetylcholinesterase. This assay appeared sensitive (limit of detection: 2 pg/ml) and precise, allowing quantitative measurement of all human and murine CGRP isoforms. The assay was used to determine specific concentrations of CGRP in different rat, mice and guinea pig samples. The validity of the test was demonstrated by HPLC fractionation experiments.  相似文献

Selected reaction monitoring (SRM) is an accurate quantitative technique, typically used for small-molecule mass spectrometry (MS). SRM has emerged as an important technique for targeted and hypothesis-driven proteomic research, and is becoming the reference method for protein quantification in complex biological samples. SRM offers high selectivity, a lower limit of detection and improved reproducibility, compared to conventional shot-gun-based tandem MS (LC-MS/MS) methods. Unlike LC-MS/MS, which requires computationally intensive informatic postanalysis, SRM requires preacquisition bioinformatic analysis to determine proteotypic peptides and optimal transitions to uniquely identify and to accurately quantitate proteins of interest. Extensive arrays of bioinformatics software tools, both web-based and stand-alone, have been published to assist researchers to determine optimal peptides and transition sets. The transitions are oftentimes selected based on preferred precursor charge state, peptide molecular weight, hydrophobicity, fragmentation pattern at a given collision energy (CE), and instrumentation chosen. Validation of the selected transitions for each peptide is critical since peptide performance varies depending on the mass spectrometer used. In this review, we provide an overview of open source and commercial bioinformatic tools for analyzing LC-MS data acquired by SRM.  相似文献

Drug discovery initiatives often depend critically on knowledge of ligand-receptor interactions. However, the identity or structure of the target receptor may not be known in every instance. The concept of receptor surrogate, a molecular environment mimic of natural receptor, may prove beneficial under such circumstances. Here, we demonstrate the potential of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) to act as surrogate receptors for a class of innate immune peptide antibiotics, a strategy that can help comprehend their action mechanism and identify chemical entities crucial for activity. A panel of antibody surrogates was raised against indolicidin, a tryptophan-rich cationic broad spectrum antimicrobial peptide of innate immune origin. Employing an elegant combination of thermodynamics, crystallography, and molecular modeling, interactions of the peptide with a high affinity anti-indolicidin monoclonal antibody were analyzed and were used to identify a motif that contained almost the entire antibiotic activity of native indolicidin. The analysis clarified the interaction of the peptide with previously proposed targets such as bacterial cell membrane and DNA and could further be correlated with antimicrobial compounds whose actions involve varied other mechanisms. These features suggest a multipronged assault pathway for indolicidin. Remarkably, the anti-indolicidin mAb surrogate was able to isolate additional independent bactericidal sequences from a random peptide library, providing compelling evidence as to the physiological relevance of surrogate receptor concept and suggesting applications in receptor-based pharmacophore research.  相似文献
