The synthesis of a protected bifunctional analog of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) is described. The molecule contains an aminobenzyl moiety that allows the easy attachment of the chelating agent to a wide variety of groups. Examples of reaction with the C-termini of two peptides are given. In the following paper, the two peptides are used to study the enzymatic cleavage of metal chelates from a monoclonal antibody. 相似文献

Two peptides, IFN-(125-129) (RITLY-I) and [Arg7]IFN-(125-131) (RITLYLR-II), belonging to the putative immunologically active region of interferon alpha A (IFN) were synthesised by the solid-phase method. Both peptides suppress the delayed-type hypersensitivity reaction in vivo as assayed in mice. The peptide (II) either suppresses (0.01-0.1 mg/kg) or stimulates (approximately 1.0 mg/kg) antibody production in mice in response to sheep red blood cells. 相似文献

Among the monoclonal antibodies (Mab) against rabbit plasma cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP), Mab 14-8F cross-reacted with human CETP and selectively inhibited triglyceride transfer but not cholesteryl ester transfer (Ko, K. W. S., T. Ohnishi, and S. Yokoyama. 1994. J. Biol. Chem. 269: 28206;-28213). The epitope of this antibody was studied by using synthetic fragment peptides of rabbit and human CETP. Mab 14-8F reacted with the peptide R451-Q473 of human CETP near the carboxyl-terminal and not with the peptides representing any other regions, and inhibited the binding of human CETP to the goat antibody against its carboxyl-terminal peptide R451-S476. The experiments with a series of the fragment peptides in this region revealed that the epitope requires the segment 465-473 (EHLLVDFLQ) of human CETP or 485-493 (KHLLVDFLQ) of rabbit CETP (core epitope) though neither peptide by itself binds to the antibody. Both peptides needed extension at least by one residue beyond either amino- or carboxyl-end in order to show the reactivity to the antibody, but the effect was not highly residue-specific at least at the amino-end. Circular dichroism analysis demonstrated the increase of helical conformation by the extension of the "core epitope" peptides to either direction. Thus, the epitope is dependent on conformation of the core epitope induced by the presence of an additional residue(s) in either end. The core epitope occupies the central 64% of the reported linear epitope of Mab TP2, a widely used anti-human CETP monoclonal antibody that inhibits both cholesteryl ester and triglyceride transfer.Therefore, we conclude that the limited interaction of Mab with a common lipid interaction site causes selective inhibition of the transfer of triglyceride that has presumably lower priority than cholesteryl ester for the CETP reaction. 相似文献

Tagged polymerase chain reaction subtractive hybridization for the enrichment of phage display random peptide libraries 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Affinity selection of phage display peptide libraries is routinely used for isolating peptides capable of binding a range of molecules, including antibodies and receptors. This process is most successful when the selecting molecule is relatively pure, for example, a monoclonal antibody. However, isolation of peptides able to bind to target molecules present in a complex mixture is more difficult because the affinity selection process isolates peptides capable of binding to all molecules present in the mixture. Here we describe the development of a tagged polymerase chain reaction (PCR) subtractive hybridization method that is universally applicable for the targeted isolation of peptides able to bind to unique molecules within a complex mixture. We also describe a discriminatory limiting dilution PCR method that can be used to optimize hybridization conditions. 相似文献

New approach for analysis of the phosphotyrosine proteome and its application to the chicken B cell line, DT40 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
In this study, we have begun to analyze phosphotyrosyl and associated proteins present in a DT40 chicken B cell line overexpressing the nonreceptor protein-tyrosine kinase, Syk. An anti-phosphotyrosine antibody was used to select tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins. After tryptic digestion, peptides were subjected to a beta-elimination reaction and phosphotyrosine-containing peptides were enriched via immobilized metal affinity chromatography. Several known substrates and candidate substrates for Syk and the location of 22 tyrosine phosphorylation sites were identified. 相似文献

Search for peptide sequences involved in human antisperm antibody-mediated male immunoinfertility by using phage display technology 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Naz RK 《Molecular reproduction and development》2005,72(1):25-30
The aim of the present study was to delineate peptide sequences against which antisperm antibodies (ASA) are raised in immunoinfertile men. Using the phage display technology, seven unique and novel dodecamer amino acid sequences were identified that reacted with the sera of immunoinfertile men. The peptides were synthesized based upon these amino acid sequences and examined for their immunoreactivity with sera from ASA-positive immunofertile men (n = 15) and ASA-negative fertile men (n = 18) for IgM, IgG, and IgA class of antibody in the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). All the seven synthetic peptides showed a significantly (P < 0.001) higher mean absorbance values for IgG and/or IgA class of antibody with the immunoinfertile sera compared to fertile control sera. Three of the seven peptides demonstrated a stronger reaction (>2 SD units) with 27%-40% of immunoinfertile sera compared to fertile controls. These peptide sequences may find applications in the specific diagnosis and treatment of immunoinfertility and in contraceptive vaccine development. The phage display technique provides an exciting and novel technology to delineate sperm epitopes involved in immunoinfertility. 相似文献

The flagella derived from 18 strains Bacillus subtilis were tested for their reaction with antiflagellar filament antibody and antiflagellin antibody. On the basis of their reactivity, at least five serologically distinct classes could be identified. Peptide map analysis of tryptic digests of the subunit proteins were consistent with the immunochemical analysis. Large differences in sequence existed among proteins of the different classes; proteins within an antigenic group differed by only a few peptides. Furthermore, 9 of the 27 tryptic peptides resolved were common to flagellin proteins from all the classes examined. The relationship between antigenic specificity, variability in peptide pattern, and the conformation of the flagellin protein are discussed. 相似文献

Introduction Because of its restricted distribution in normal tissues and its high expression on tumors of neuroectodermal origin, GD2
ganglioside is an excellent target for active specific immunotherapy. However, GD2 usually elicits low-titered IgM and no
IgG or cellular immune responses, limiting its usefulness as a vaccine for cancer patients. We have previously shown that
anti-idiotypic monoclonal antibody mimics of GD2 can induce antigen-specific humoral and cellular immunity in mice, but inhibition
of tumor growth by the mimics could not be detected.
Methods and results Here, we isolated two peptides from phage display peptide libraries by panning with GD2-specific mAb ME361. The peptides
inhibited binding of the mAb to GD2. When coupled to keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) or presented as multiantigenic peptides
in QS21 adjuvant, the peptides induced in mice antibodies binding specifically to GD2 and delayed-type hypersensitive lymphocytes
reactive specifically with GD2-positive D142.34 mouse melanoma cells. Induction of delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) reaction
was dependent on CD4-positive lymphocytes. The immunity elicited by the peptides significantly inhibited growth of GD2-positive
melanoma cells in mice.
Conclusion Our study suggests that immunization with peptides mimicking GD2 ganglioside inhibits tumor growth through antibody and/or
CD4-positive T cell-mediated mechanisms. Cytolytic T lymphocytes most likely do not play a role. Our results provide the basis
for structural analysis of carbohydrate mimicry by peptides.

Antibodies were raised against three synthetic peptides corresponding to sequences surrounding tyrosine 315, a putative in vitro phosphorylation site in polyomavirus middle-T antigen. Only one of the peptides (called C and corresponding to residues 311 to 330) elicited antibodies that recognized middle-T efficiently. Middle-T present in immunoprecipitates formed with purified anti-C serum still accepted phosphate on tyrosine in an in vitro kinase reaction. This implies that tyrosines other than 315 and 322 that lie within the antibody binding region are phosphorylated under these conditions. This conclusion was supported by the altered partial V8 proteolysis fingerprint of the labeled middle-T. Two-dimensional tryptic fingerprint analysis of 32P-labeled middle-T showed that several tryptic peptides identified as including tyrosine 315 and 322 were missing from middle-T labeled in anti-C immunoprecipitates compared with middle-T labeled in immunoprecipitates made by using anti-tumor cell serum. However, one major labeled peptide remained. This peptide was also present in fingerprints of 32P-labeled middle-T coded by M45, dl23, pAS131, and dl1013, but a peptide with altered mobility was present in dl8 middle-T. This identified the peptide as including tyrosine 250. We deduce from these data that (i) the presence of the antibody against peptide C inhibits phosphorylation of tyrosines 315 and 322; (ii) middle-T labeled in the kinase reaction after immunoprecipitation with anti-C serum is phosphorylated on tyrosine 250; and (iii) when anti-tumor cell serum is used in the in vitro kinase reaction, middle-T is phosphorylated at multiple sites, including residues 250, 315, and 322. 相似文献

A method for the detection of collagenous proteins within cyanogen bromide digests of tissues has been devised. The peptides produced by digestion with cyanogen bromide were separated by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and transferred to a nitrocellulose filter. They were stained on the filter by incubation first with antibodies to collagen and then with a second antibody covalently linked to horseradish peroxidase, 4-chloro-1-naphthol was added, and the bound enzyme was assayed. This procedure is useful for the identification and characterization of collagens of types I, III, IV, and V in tissues. In addition, we have developed a sensitive and specific competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) which is convenient for quantifying collagens (types I, III, and IV) in tissues. In this kind of assay, soluble cyanogen bromide peptides compete with cyanogen bromide peptides adsorbed onto a solid-phase support for rabbit anti-collagen antibodies. We determined the amount of bound antibody by using goat anti-rabbit immunoglobulin G covalently conjugated to horseradish peroxidase and then provided a substrate for the enzymatic reaction. The sensitivity range of the ELISA is 0.09 micrograms/ml in the region of 90 to 10% binding. 相似文献

Nitration of tyrosine residues has been shown to be an important oxidative modification in proteins and has been suggested to play a role in several diseases such as atherosclerosis, asthma, lung and neurodegenerative diseases. Detection of nitrated proteins has been mainly based on the use of nitrotyrosine‐specific antibodies. In contrast, only a small number of nitration sites in proteins have been unequivocally identified by MS. We have used a monoclonal 3‐NT‐specific antibody, and have synthesized a series of tyrosine‐nitrated peptides of prostacyclin synthase (PCS) in which a single specific nitration site at Tyr‐430 had been previously identified upon reaction with peroxynitrite 17 . The determination of antibody‐binding affinity and specificity of PCS peptides nitrated at different tyrosine residues (Tyr‐430, Tyr‐421, Tyr‐83) and sequence mutations around the nitration sites provided the identification of an epitope motif containing positively charged amino acids (Lys and/or Arg) N‐terminal to the nitration site. The highest affinity to the anti‐3NT‐antibody was found for the PCS peptide comprising the Tyr‐430 nitration site with a KD of 60 nM determined for the peptide, PCS(424‐436‐Tyr‐430NO2); in contrast, PCS peptides nitrated at Tyr‐421 and Tyr‐83 had substantially lower affinity. ELISA, SAW bioaffinity, proteolytic digestion of antibody‐bound peptides and affinity‐MS analysis revealed highest affinity to the antibody for tyrosine‐nitrated peptides that contained positively charged amino acids in the N‐terminal sequence to the nitration site. Remarkably, similar N‐terminal sequences of tyrosine‐nitration sites have been recently identified in nitrated physiological proteins, such as eosinophil peroxidase and eosinophil‐cationic protein.

Phage displaying random cyclic 7-mer, and linear 7-mer and 12-mer peptides at the N terminus of the coat protein, pIII, were panned with the murine monoclonal antibody, 9-2-L379 specific for meningococcal lipo-oligosaccharide. Five cyclic peptides with two sequence motifs, six linear 7-mers, and five linear 12-mers with different sequence motifs were identified. Only phage displaying cyclic peptides were specifically captured by and were antigenic for 9-2-L379. Monoclonal antibody 9-2-L379 exhibited "apparent" binding affinities to the cyclic peptides between 11 and 184 nm, comparable with lipo-oligosaccharide. All cyclic peptides competed with the binding of 9-2-L379 to lipo-oligosaccharide with EC(50) values in the range 10-105 microm, which correlated with their apparent binding affinities. Structural modifications of the cyclic peptides eliminated their ability to bind and compete with monoclonal antibody 9-2-L379. Mice (C3H/HeN) immunized with the cyclic peptide with optimal apparent binding affinity and EC(50) of competition elicited cross-reactive antibodies to meningococcal lipo-oligosaccharide with end point dilution serum antibody titers of 3200. Cyclic peptides were converted to T-cell-dependent immunogens without disrupting these properties by C-terminal biotinylation and complexing with NeutrAvidin. The data indicate that constrained peptides can cross-react with a carbohydrate-specific antibody with greater specificity than linear peptides, and critical to this specificity is their structural conformation. 相似文献

To determine the number and location of antibody binding epitopes on type II collagen, outbred and inbred rats were immunized with chick, bovine, human, and rat type II collagen (CII, BII, HII, and RII); all sera were assayed for reaction with a panel of CB peptides purified and renatured from the immunizing collagen and from RII. Antibody reaction patterns (profiles) varied among individual outbred rats but were essentially constant over time and changed little after boosting. The strongest antibody reactions were to CB11, CB9-7, and CB12 followed by CB8, CB10, and CB6. Antibody profiles varied depending on the species of collagen used for immunization and the strain of rat immunized. Except for CB10, where antibodies were largely specific for heterologous collagens, antibodies reactive with all other CB peptides cross-reacted strongly with renatured rat CB peptides. Sera from inbred BB rats immunized with BII, CII, or HII reacted best with CB11, unlike antisera to RII that reacted strongly with CB9-7. Inbred LEW, COP, WKY, F344, and BUF rats immunized with BII reacted strongest with CB9-7 and variably with CB11 and CB12. BBxLEW F1 hybrid rats reacted almost equally with CB11 and CB9-7 producing an antibody profile intermediate to those elicited in the parent strains. Finally, antibodies reactive with rat CB11, CB9-7, and CB12 could be eluted from normal rat cartilage incubated in anti-BII serum; antibody eluate profiles generally paralleled the profile produced by the sera applied to cartilage. Taken together, these findings indicate that multiple antibody-reactive epitopes on type II collagen may be instrumental in the initiation of collagen-induced arthritis in rats, particularly shared or cross-reactive epitopes located within CB11, CB9-7, CB12, and CB8. 相似文献

BiP is an Hsp70 homologue found in the endoplasmic reticulum of eukaryotic cells. Like other Hsp70 chaperones, BiP interacts with its substrate proteins in an ATP-dependent manner. The functional analysis has so far been performed mainly with short, synthetic peptides. Here, we present an experimental system that allows to study the partial reactions of the BiP chaperone cycle for a natural substrate protein domain in its soluble, stably unfolded conformation. This unfolded antibody domain forms a binary complex with BiP in the absence of ATP. The dissociation of the BiP dimer seems to be the rate-limiting step in this reaction. The BiP-C(H)3 complexes dissociate rapidly in the presence of ATP. The affinity for BiP-binding peptides and the non-native antibody domain was determined to be similar, suggesting that only the peptide binding site is involved in these interactions. Furthermore, these results imply that, also in the context of the antibody domain, an extended peptide sequence is recognized. However, the accessibility of the BiP-binding site in the non-native protein seems to influence the kinetics of complex formation. 相似文献

Signal peptides are short peptides located at the N-terminus of secreted proteins. They characteristically have three domains; a basic region at the N-terminus (n-region), a central hydrophobic core (h-region) and a carboxy-terminal cleavage region (c-region). Although hundreds of different signal peptides have been identified, it has not been completely understood how their features enable signal peptides to influence protein expression. Antibody-derived signal peptides are often used to prepare recombinant antibodies expressed by eukaryotic cells, especially Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. However, when prokaryotic Escherichia coli (E. coli) are utilized in drug discovery processes, such as for phage display selection or antibody humanization, signal peptides have been selected separately due to the differences in the expression systems between the species. In this study, we successfully established a signal peptide that enables a functional antibody to be expressed in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells by focusing on the importance of having an Ala residue in the c-region of the signal sequence. We found that changing Ser to Ala at only two positions significantly augmented the anti-HER2 antigen binding fragment (Fab) expression in E. coli. In addition, this altered signal peptide also retained the ability to express functional anti-HER2 antibody in CHO cells. Taken together, the present findings indicate that the signal peptide can promote functional antibody expression in both prokaryotic E. coli and eukaryotic CHO cells. This finding will contribute to the understanding of signal peptides and accelerate therapeutic antibody research. 相似文献

The variable regions of antibody molecules bind antigens with high affinity and specificity. This binding is imparted largely by the hypervariable portions of the variable region. Hypervariable regions typically fold into reverse turn or loop structures. Peptides derived from antibody hypervariable region sequences can bind antigens with similar specificity, albeit with markedly lower affinity. In this study, cyclic and dimeric peptide analogs of an anti-idiotypic/antireceptor antibody hypervariable region were developed. This antibody (87.92.6) binds to reovirus type 3 receptors on cells as well as to a neutralizing anti-reovirus type 3 monoclonal antibody (9B.G5). The cyclic peptides were utilized to probe the optimal conformation for binding to both the receptor and 9B.G5. By dimerizing or constraining the conformation of these peptides, higher affinity binding was produced. By utilizing several different cyclic peptides, the optimal conformation for binding was established. The conformationally optimized cyclic peptide possessed greater than 40-fold higher affinity for the receptor and the idiotype than the linear analog. This study suggests that conformationally constrained and dimeric peptides derived from antibody hypervariable loop sequences can bind antigens (including receptors) with reasonable affinity. hypervariable loop sequences can bind antigens (including 相似文献

A universal platform for efficiently mapping antibody epitopes would be of great use for many applications, ranging from antibody therapeutic development to vaccine design. Here we tested the feasibility of using a random peptide microarray to map antibody epitopes. Although peptide microarrays are physically constrained to ~10(4) peptides per array, compared with 10(8) permitted in library panning approaches such as phage display, they enable a much more high though put and direct measure of binding. Long (20 mer) random sequence peptides were chosen for this study to look at an unbiased sampling of sequence space. This sampling of sequence space is sparse, as an exact epitope sequence is unlikely to appear. Commercial monoclonal antibodies with known linear epitopes or polyclonal antibodies raised against engineered 20-mer peptides were used to evaluate this array as an epitope mapping platform. Remarkably, peptides with the most sequence similarity to known epitopes were only slightly more likely to be recognized by the antibody than other random peptides. We explored the ability of two methods singly and in combination to predict the actual epitope from the random sequence peptides bound. Though the epitopes were not directly evident, subtle motifs were found among the top binding peptides for each antibody. These motifs did have some predictive ability in searching for the known epitopes among a set of decoy sequences. The second approach using a windowing alignment strategy, was able to score known epitopes of monoclonal antibodies well within the test dataset, but did not perform as well on polyclonals. Random peptide microarrays of even limited diversity may serve as a useful tool to prioritize candidates for epitope mapping or antigen identification. 相似文献

The immobilization of an antibody is one of the key technologies that are used to enhance the sensitivity and efficiency of the detection of target molecules in immunodiagnosis and immunoseparation. Recombinant antibody fragments such as VHH, scFv and Fabs produced by microorganisms are the next generation of ligand antibodies as an alternative to conventional whole Abs due to a smaller size and the possibility of site-directed immobilization with uniform orientation and higher antigen-binding activity in the adsorptive state. For the achievement of site-directed immobilization, affinity peptides for a certain ligand molecule or solid support must be introduced to the recombinant antibody fragments. In this mini-review, immobilization technologies for the whole antibodies (whole Abs) and recombinant antibody fragments onto the surfaces of plastics are introduced. In particular, the focus here is on immobilization technologies of recombinant antibody fragments utilizing affinity peptide tags, which possesses strong binding affinity towards the ligand molecules. Furthermore, I introduced the material-binding peptides that are capable of direct recognition of the target materials. Preparation and immobilization strategies for recombinant antibody fragments linked to material-binding peptides (polystyrene-binding peptides (PS-tags) and poly (methyl methacrylate)-binding peptide (PMMA-tag)) are the focus here, and are based on the enhancement of sensitivity and a reduction in the production costs of ligand antibodies.
