Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is caused by the FMD virus (FMDV) and results in severe economic losses in livestock farming. For rapid FMD diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, an effective antibody against FMDV is needed. Here, we developed a high-affinity antibody against FMDV by FACS-based high throughput screening of a random library. With the FITC-conjugated VP1 epitope of FMDV and high-speed FACS sorting, we screened the synthetic antibody (scFv) library in which antibody variants are displayed in the periplasm of Escherichia coli. After three rounds of sorting, we isolated one antibody fragment (#138-scFv) against the VP1 epitope of FMDV. Next, to improve its affinity, a mutation library of #138-scFV was constructed by error-prone PCR and screened by FACS. After three rounds of sorting, we isolated one antibody (AM-32 scFv), which has a higher binding affinity (KD = 42.7 nM) than that of the original #138-scFv. We also confirmed that it specifically binds to whole inactivated FMDV. 相似文献

The phylogenetic distance between chickens and humans accounts for a strong immune response and a broader epitope coverage compared to rodent immunization approaches. Here the authors report the isolation of common light chain (cLC)-based chicken monoclonal antibodies from an anti-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) immune library utilizing yeast surface display in combination with yeast biopanning and fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS). For the selection of high-affinity antibodies, a yeast cell library presenting cLC-comprising fragment antigen binding (Fab) fragments is panned against hEGFR-overexpressing A431 cells. The resulting cell–cell-complexes are sorted by FACS resulting in gradual enrichment of EGFR-binding Fabs in three sorting rounds. The isolated antibodies share the same light chain and show high specificity for EGFR, resulting in selective binding to A431 cells with notable EC50 values. All identified antibodies show very good aggregation propensity profiles and thermostabilities. Additionally, epitope binning demonstrates that these cLC antibodies cover a broad epitope space. Isolation of antibodies from immunized chickens by yeast cell biopanning makes an addition to the repertoire of methods for antibody library screening, paving the way for the generation of cLC-based bispecific antibodies against native mammalian receptors. 相似文献

Anchored periplasmic expression (APEx) is a method for isolating high affinity ligand-binding proteins from large combinatorial
libraries, and antibodies highly specific for soluble antigens were successfully isolated from APEx antibody libraries in
combination with flow cytometric sorting (Harvey et al., Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 101(25):9193–9198, 2004). However, many disease markers and drug targets are localized on the cell surface, and often, unique posttranslational modifications
and/or properly folded epitopes are lost when they were expressed and isolated in soluble form. In this study, we demonstrate
that Escherichia coli spheroplasts, displaying antibodies and screened by a combination of plate-panning and flow cytometric sorting, can be used
for isolating antibodies specific for antigens on the human cell surface. Two rounds of plate-panning followed by one round
of flow cytometric sorting resulted in 7,200-fold enrichment of antibodies specific for the protective antigen of Bacillus anthracis from a large excess of spheroplasts expressing a scFv antibody to digoxin (a negative control). There is the potential to
use this technique for library screening to find novel antibodies against disease cell surface antigens. 相似文献

Red and green fluorescent polystyrene beads were used to label different populations of cultured human skin fibroblasts. After co-cultivation for 24 h no exchange of label could be observed. Twenty-four hours after fusion the population of red-green heterofluorescent cells was sorted out with a FACS II cell sorter. Microscopical examination of the heterofluorescent population 20 h after sorting indicated, that with Sendai-induced fusion, 50–60% of these viable cells contained more than one nucleus. After polyethylene glycol (PEG)-induced fusion, between 70 and 85% bi- or multinucleated cells were present in the sorted and cultured fraction. Autoradiography using [3H]thymidine indicated that the sorted heterofluorescent bikaryons were in fact heterokaryons. 相似文献

Microbial systems often exhibit staggering diversity, making the study of rare, interesting species challenging. For example, metagenomic analyses of mixed-cell populations are often dominated by the sequences of the most abundant organisms, while those of rare microbes are detected only at low levels, if at all. To overcome this, selective cultivation or fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) can be used to enrich for the target species prior to sequence analysis; however, since most microbes cannot be grown in the lab, cultivation strategies often fail, while cell sorting requires techniques to uniquely label the cell type of interest, which is often not possible with uncultivable microbes. Here, we introduce a culture-independent strategy for sorting microbial cells based on genomic content, which we term PCR-activated cell sorting (PACS). This technology, which utilizes the power of droplet-based microfluidics, is similar to FACS in that it uses a fluorescent signal to uniquely identify and sort target species. However, PACS differs importantly from FACS in that the signal is generated by performing PCR assays on the cells in microfluidic droplets, allowing target cells to be identified with high specificity with suitable design of PCR primers and TaqMan probes. The PACS assay is general, requires minimal optimization and, unlike antibody methods, can be developed without access to microbial antigens. Compared to non-specific methods in which cells are sorted based on size, granularity, or the ability to take up dye, PACS enables genetic sequence-specific sorting and recovery of the cell genomes. In addition to sorting microbes, PACS can be applied to eukaryotic cells, viruses, and naked nucleic acids. 相似文献

Mammalian cells are often used for the expression of recombinant proteins. The process of screening transfected cells randomly for high producing clones is tedious and time consuming. We evaluated using green fluorescent protein (GFP) for selection of high producing clones by fluorescence-activated cell sorter (FACS) to reduce screening effort. We expressed neurotrophin-3 (NT3), deoxyribonuclease (DNase), or vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) with GFP in Chinese hamster ovary cells. The vector expressed the desired secreted protein and the selectable marker, dihydrofolate reductase, in one expression unit and the intracellular GFP in a second expression unit. Transfected cells were grown in selection medium and sorted by FACS. High fluorescence clones were obtained and found to produce high amounts of the desired protein; VEGF productivity correlated well with GFP fluorescence in 48 clones. Further studies demonstrated that productivity correlated very well with RNA of the desired protein. For comparison, we randomly picked and screened 144 VEGF clones, and the highest producing VEGF clone obtained produced 0.7 pg/cell/day. In contrast, the highest producing VEGF clone obtained by FACS sorting produced 4.4 pg/cell/day. FACS sorting therefore selected high producing clones efficiently. Since an assay for the desired protein is not required, high producing clones for a protein of unknown function can be obtained by FACS sorting followed by measuring the RNA level of the desired protein in the highly fluorescent clones. 相似文献

Fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) was applied for quantitative screening of cDNA expression libraries in bacteria for rare fluorescent protein encoding cDNAs. Rare fluorescent cells, observed at a frequency of 1 in 200,000 bacteria in a cDNA expression library constructed from Astrangia lajollaensis, were detected, enriched, and purified by sorting, yielding three distinct green fluorescent proteins. Two of the isolated fluorescent proteins were found to be 2.5-fold brighter in whole cell fluorescence than the widely used and already optimized EGFP variant and possessed a novel cysteine-containing chromophore. FACS can possess significant advantages in the screening of cDNA libraries in bacteria, since desired genes may occur at low frequencies and possess unexpected properties. This strategy provides a high-throughput, quantitative approach for isolating fluorescent proteins from a more diverse range of organisms and should be extendable to proteins that are not intrinsically fluorescent with the use of available fluorescent indicators. 相似文献

An effective method for peptide screening of ligand-binding proteins was applied by using recombinant E. coli which is capable of expressing green fluorescent protein (GFP) and which can also express random peptides displayed on flagella of the cells. This screening method used a combination of fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) and flagella display on the basis of a commercial FliTrx random peptide library for isolating the peptide-displaying clones which are able to bind Alexa 546 fluorescence-labeled cytochrome c. Flow cytometry simultaneously detected the two different fluorescence intensities, from GFP in the library and Alexa546-labeled to cytochrome c, enabling the specific clones bound to cytochrome c to be obtained from the first or second round of cell sorting. Compared with original FliTrx peptide screening system that requires repeating biopanning five times, our results suggested that detecting two different fluorescence intensities by flow cytometry is feasible for effective peptide screening. 相似文献

Recent studies using stem cells or cancer stem cells have revealed the importance of detecting minor populations of cells in blood or tissue and analyzing their biological characteristics. The only possible method for carrying out such procedures is fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS). However, FACS has the following limitations. First, cells without an appropriate cell surface marker cannot be sorted. Second, the cells have to be kept alive during the sorting process in order to analyze their biological characteristics. If an intracellular antigen that was specific to a particular cell type could be stained with a florescent dye and then the cells can be sorted without causing RNA degradation, a more simple and universal method for sorting and analyzing cells with a specific gene expression pattern could be established since the biological characteristics of the sorted cells could then be determined by analyzing their gene expression profile. In this study, we established a basic protocol for messenger RNA quantification after FACS (FACS-mQ) targeting intracellular antigens. This method can be used for the detection and analysis of stem cells or cancer stem cells in various tissues. 相似文献

Since their onset, display technologies have proven useful for the selection of antibodies against a variety of targets; however, most of the antibodies selected with the currently available platforms need to be further modified for their use in humans, and are restricted to accessible antigens. Furthermore, these platforms are not well suited for in vivo selections. We present here a novel cell based antibody display platform, which takes advantage of the functional capabilities of T lymphocytes. The display of antibodies on the surface of T lymphocytes, as a part of a chimeric-immune receptor (CIR) mediating signaling, may ideally link the antigen-antibody interaction to a demonstrable change in T cell phenotype, due to subsequent expression of the early T cell activation marker CD69. In this proof-of-concept, an in vitro selection was carried out using a human T cell line lentiviral-transduced to express a tumor-specific CIR on the surface, against a human tumor cell line expressing the carcinoembryonic antigen. Based on an effective interaction between the CIR and the tumor antigen, we demonstrated that combining CIR-mediated activation with FACS sorting of CD69+ T cells, it is possible to isolate binders to tumor specific cell surface antigen, with an enrichment factor of at least 103-fold after two rounds, resulting in a homogeneous population of T cells expressing tumor-specific CIRs. 相似文献

Reliable, specific polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies are important tools in research and medicine. However, the discovery of antibodies against their targets in their native forms is difficult. Here, we present a novel method for discovery of antibodies against membrane proteins in their native configuration in mammalian cells. The method involves the co-expression of an antibody library in a population of mammalian cells that express the target polypeptide within a natural membrane environment on the cell surface. Cells that secrete a single-chain fragment variable (scFv) that binds to the target membrane protein thereby become self-labeled, enabling enrichment and isolation by magnetic sorting and FRET-based flow sorting. Library sizes of up to 109 variants can be screened, thus allowing campaigns of naïve scFv libraries to be selected against membrane protein antigens in a Chinese hamster ovary cell system. We validate this method by screening a synthetic naïve human scFv library against Chinese hamster ovary cells expressing the oncogenic target epithelial cell adhesion molecule and identify a panel of three novel binders to this membrane protein, one with a dissociation constant (KD) as low as 0.8 nm. We further demonstrate that the identified antibodies have utility for killing epithelial cell adhesion molecule–positive cells when used as a targeting domain on chimeric antigen receptor T cells. Thus, we provide a new tool for identifying novel antibodies that act against membrane proteins, which could catalyze the discovery of new candidates for antibody-based therapies. 相似文献

Antibody display systems have been successfully applied to screen, select and characterize antibody fragments. These systems typically use prokaryotic organisms such as phage and bacteria or lower eukaryotic organisms, such as yeast. These organisms possess either no or different post-translational modification functions from mammalian cells and prefer to display small antibody fragments instead of full-length IgGs. We report here a novel mammalian cell-based antibody display platform that displays full-length functional antibodies on the surface of mammalian cells. Through recombinase-mediated DNA integration, each host cell contains one copy of the gene of interest in the genome. Utilizing a hot-spot integration site, the expression levels of the gene of interest are high and comparable between clones, ensuring a high signal to noise ratio. Coupled with fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) technology, our platform is high throughput and can distinguish antibodies with very high antigen binding affinities directly on the cell surface. Single-round FACS can enrich high affinity antibodies by more than 500-fold. Antibodies with significantly improved neutralizing activity have been identified from a randomly mutagenized library, demonstrating the power of this platform in screening and selecting antibody therapeutics.Key words: antibody display, mammalian display, antibody library, vector, antibody screen, affinity maturation 相似文献

Background
Fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS) is a powerful technique for the qualitative and quantitative detection of biomolecules used widely in both basic research and clinical diagnostic applications. Beads displaying a specific antigen are used to bind antibodies which are then fluorescently labelled using secondary antibodies. As the individual suspension bead passes through the sensing region of the FACS machine, fluorescent signals are acquired and analysed. Currently, antigens are tediously purified and chemically cross-linked to preformed beads. Purification and coupling of proteins often renders them inactive and they will not be displayed in its native configuration. As an alternative, we genetically engineered Escherichia coli to produce biopolyester (polyhdroxyalkanoate=PHA) granules displaying diagnostically relevant antigens in their native conformation and suitable for FACS analysis. 相似文献16.

To enhance the screening efficiency and accuracy of a high-yield menaquinone (vitamin K2, MK) bacterial strain, a novel, quantitative method by fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) was developed. The staining technique was optimized to maximize the differences in fluorescence signals between spontaneous and MK-accumulating cells. The fluorescence carrier rhodamine 123 (Rh123), with its ability to reflect membrane potential, proved to be an appropriate fluorescent dye to connect the MK content with fluorescence signal quantitatively. To promote adequate access of the fluorescent molecule to the target and maintain higher cell survival rates, staining and incubation conditions were optimized. The results showed that 10 % sucrose facilitated uptake of Rh123, while maintaining a certain level of cell viability. The pre-treatment of cells with MgCl2 before staining with Rh123 also improved cell viability. Using FACS, 50 thousands cells can easily be assayed in less than 1 h. The optimized staining protocol yielded a linear response for the mean fluorescence against high performance liquid chromatography-measured MK content. We have developed a novel and useful staining protocol in the high-throughput evaluation of Flavobacterium sp. mutant libraries, using FACS to identify mutants with increased MK-accumulating properties. This study also provides reference for the screening of other industrial microbial strains. 相似文献

The disease caused by Plasmodium falciparum (Pf) involves different clinical manifestations that, cumulatively, kill hundreds of thousands every year. Placental malaria (PM) is one such manifestation in which Pf infected erythrocytes (IE) bind to chondroitin sulphate A (CSA) through expression of VAR2CSA, a parasite-derived antigen. Protection against PM is mediated by antibodies that inhibit binding of IE in the placental intervillous space. VAR2CSA is a large antigen incompatible with large scale recombinant protein expression. Vaccines based on sub-units encompassing the functionally constrained receptor-binding domains may, theoretically, circumvent polymorphisms, reduce the risk of escape-mutants and induce cross-reactive antibodies. However, the sub-unit composition and small differences in the borders, may lead to exposure of novel immuno-dominant antibody epitopes that lead to non-functional antibodies, and furthermore influence the folding, stability and yield of expression. Candidate antigens from the pre-clinical development expressed in High-Five insect cells using the baculovirus expression vector system were transitioned into the Drosophila Schneider-2 cell (S2) expression-system compliant with clinical development. The functional capacity of antibodies against antigens expressed in High-Five cells or in S2 cells was equivalent. This enabled an extensive down-selection of S2 insect cell-expressed antigens primarily encompassing the minimal CSA-binding region of VAR2CSA. In general, we found differential potency of inhibitory antibodies against antigens with the same borders but of different var2csa sequences. Likewise, we found that subtle size differences in antigens of the same sequence gave varying levels of inhibitory antibodies. The study shows that induction of a functional response against recombinant subunits of the VAR2CSA antigen is unpredictable, demonstrating the need for large-scale screening in order to identify antigens that induce a broadly strain-transcending antibody response. 相似文献

Bacterial surface peptide display has gained popularity as a method of affinity reagent generation for a wide variety of applications ranging from drug discovery to pathogen detection. In order to isolate the bacterial clones that express peptides with high affinities to the target molecule, multiple rounds of manual magnetic activated cell sorting (MACS) followed by multiple rounds of fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS) are conventionally used. Although such manual methods are effective, alternative means of library screening which improve the reproducibility, reduce the cost, reduce cross contamination, and minimize exposure to hazardous target materials are highly desired for practical application. Toward this end, we report the first semi-automated system demonstrating the potential for screening bacterially displayed peptides using disposable microfluidic cartridges. The Micro-Magnetic Separation platform (MMS) is capable of screening a bacterial library containing 3×1010 members in 15 minutes and requires minimal operator training. Using this system, we report the isolation of twenty-four distinct peptide ligands that bind to the protective antigen (PA) of Bacilus anthracis in three rounds of selection. A consensus motif WXCFTC was found using the MMS and was also found in one of the PA binders isolated by the conventional MACS/FACS approach. We compared MMS and MACS rare cell recovery over cell populations ranging from 0.1% to 0.0000001% and found that both magnetic sorting methods could recover cells down to 0.0000001% initial cell population, with the MMS having overall lower standard deviation of cell recovery. We believe the MMS system offers a compelling approach towards highly efficient, semi-automated screening of molecular libraries that is at least equal to manual magnetic sorting methods and produced, for the first time, 15-mer peptide binders to PA protein that exhibit better affinity and specificity than peptides isolated using conventional MACS/FACS. 相似文献

Flow cytometry is an automated, laser- or impedance-based, high throughput method that allows very rapid analysis of multiple chemical and physical characteristics of single cells within a cell population. It is an extremely powerful technology that has been used for over four decades with filamentous fungi. Although single cells within a cell population are normally analysed rapidly on a cell-by-cell basis using the technique, flow cytometry can also be used to analyse cell (e.g. spore) aggregates or entire microcolonies. Living or fixed cells can be stained with a wide range of fluorescent reporters to label different cell components or measure different physiological processes. Flow cytometry is also suited for measurements of cell size, interaction, aggregation or shape using non-labelled cells by means of analysing their light scattering characteristics. Fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) is a specialized form of flow cytometry that provides a method for sorting a heterogeneous mixture of cells into two or more containers based upon the fluorescence and/or light scattering properties of each cell. The major advantage of analysing cells by flow cytometry over microscopy is the speed of analysis: thousands of cells can be analysed per second or sorted in minutes. Drawbacks of flow cytometry are that specific cells cannot be followed in time and normally spatial information relating to individual cells is lacking. A big advantage over microscopy is when using FACS, cells with desired characteristics can be sorted for downstream experimentation (e.g. for growth, infection, enzyme production, gene expression assays or ‘omics’ approaches). In this review, we explain the basic concepts of flow cytometry and FACS, define its advantages and disadvantages in comparison with microscopy, and describe the wide range of applications in which these powerful technologies have been used with filamentous fungi. 相似文献

A method combining fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS) and DNA microarray assisted clone identification was developed and termed Genome‐Scale Analysis of Library Sorting (GALibSo). Genes enhancing the production of secreted heterologous proteins in Pichia pastoris were identified out of a cDNA library by cell surface display and FACS. The trends of gene enrichment during consecutive FACS rounds were monitored by DNA microarrays. In a case study a P. pastoris cDNA library was co‐expressed in a strain secreting the Fab fragment of a monoclonal antibody against human immunodeficiency virus type 1 as a model protein. Three genes were identified, increasing the relative expression level of the surface‐displayed model protein up to 45%. While one of these genes had a positive effect on three out of four tested proteins, the product specific effect of the other two suggested that the effects of the co‐expressed secretion enhancing factors are partly dependent on the protein to be produced. The microarray based monitoring of the enrichment of genes causing enhanced protein secretory capacity led to novel insights into the limitation of protein secretion. Biotechnol.
