Development of recombinant single-chain variable fragment against hepatitis A virus and its use in quantification of hepatitis A antigen

Phage display technology has been utilized for identification of specific binding molecules to an antigenic target thereby enabling the rapid generation and selection of high affinity, fully human antibodies directed towards disease target appropriate for antibody therapy. In the present study, single chain Fv antibody fragment (scFv) to hepatitis A virus (HAV) was selected from phage displayed antibody library constructed from peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) of a vaccinated donor. The variable heavy (V(H)) and light chains (V(L)) were amplified using cDNA as template, assembled into scFv using splicing by overlap extension PCR (SOE PCR) and cloned into phagemid vector as a fusion for display of scFv on bacteriophage. The phage displaying antibody fragments were subjected to three rounds of panning with HAV antigen on solid phase. High affinity antibodies reactive to hepatitis A virus were identified by phage ELISA and cloned into a bacterial expression vector pET20b. The scFv was purified by immobilized metal affinity chromatography (IMAC) on a nickel-nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA) agarose column and characterized. The binding activity and specificity of the scFv was established by its non-reactivity towards other human viral antigens as determined by ELISA and immunoblot analysis. The scFv was further used in the development of an in-house IC-ELISA format in combination with a commercially available mouse monoclonal antibody for the quantification of hepatitis A virus antigen in human vaccine preparations. The adjusted r2 values obtained by subjecting the values obtained by quantification of the NIBSC standards using the commercial and the in-house ELISA kits by regression analysis were 0.99 and 0.95. 39 vaccine samples were subjected to quantification using both the kits. Regressional statistical analysis through the origin of the samples indicated International Unit (IU) values of 0.0416x and 0.0419x, respectively for the commercial and in-house kit respectively.

Characterization of a high-affinity human antibody with a disulfide bridge in the third complementarity-determining region of the heavy chain

Disulfide bridges are common in the antigen-binding site from sharks (new antigen receptor) and camels (single variable heavy-chain domain, VHH), in which they confer both structural diversity and domain stability. In human antibodies, cysteine residues in the third complementarity-determining region of the heavy chain (CDR-H3) are rare but naturally encoded in the IGHD germline genes. Here, by panning a phage display library designed based on human germline genes and synthetic CDR-H3 regions against a human cytokine, we identified an antibody (M3) containing two cysteine residues in the CDR-H3. It binds the cytokine with high affinity (0.4?nM), recognizes a unique epitope on the antigen, and has a distinct neutralization profile as compared with all other antibodies selected from the library. The two cysteine residues form a disulfide bridge as determined by mass spectrometric peptide mapping. Replacing the cysteines with alanines did not change the solubility and stability of the monoclonal antibody, but binding to the antigen was significantly impaired. Three-dimensional modeling and dynamic simulations were employed to explore how the disulfide bridge influences the conformation of CDR-H3 and binding to the antigen. On the basis of these results, we envision that designing human combinatorial antibody libraries to contain intra-CDR or inter-CDR disulfide bridges could lead to identification of human antibodies with unique binding profiles.     

Obligate multivalent recognition of cell surface tomoregulin following selection from a multivalent phage antibody library

A therapeutic antibody candidate (AT-19) isolated using multivalent phage display binds native tomoregulin (TR) as a mul-timer not as a monomer. This report raises the importance of screening and selecting phage antibodies on native antigen and reemphasizes the possibility that potentially valuable antibodies are discarded when a monomeric phage display system is used for screening. A detailed live cell panning selection and screening method to isolate multivalently active antibodies is described. AT-19 is a fully human antibody recognizing the cell surface protein TR, a proposed prostate cancer target for therapeutic antibody internalization. AT-19 was isolated from a multivalent single-chain variable fragment (scFv) antibody library rescued with hyperphage. The required multivalency for isolation of AT-19 is supported by fluorescence activated cell sorting data demonstrating binding of the multivalent AT-19 phage particles at high phage concentrations and failure of monovalent particles to bind. Pure monomeric scFv AT-19 does not bind native receptor on cells, whereas dimeric scFv or immunoglobulin G binds with nanomolar affinity. The isolation of AT-19 antibody with obligate bivalent binding activity to native TR is attributed to the use of a multivalent display of scFv on phage and the method for selecting and screening by alternate use of 2 recombinant cell lines.

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.

Construction and expression of a reshaped VH domain against human CD28 molecules

Compared with the amino acid sequence of a mouse anti-human CD28 VH domain antibody, the two most homologous sequences of human antibodies were pulled out from Genbank. One of them was used as the main template for the framework regions of the reshaped VH domain. While the original mouse antibody CDRs were inserted into the human acceptor FRs, some residues in human acceptor FRs, which were different from those of the original mouse FRs in corresponding positions, were then determined or, alternatively, mutagenized to their conservative properties in kappa classification. Based on the amino acid sequences of the designed VH domain, the nucleotide sequence was deduced by using E. coli bias codons. The sequence was split into ten 30 to 60 nucleotide fragments for synthesizing, then annealed and amplified by overlap PCR. Taq DNA polymerase was used in a buffer with high Mg2+ concentration to induce more random mutations, both in FRs and CDRs. A phage display library was constructed by cloning these PCR products. After three rounds of panning, several reshaped VH with high antigen binding activity were obtained. One of them had the same CDR amino acid sequences as that of the original mouse VH domain. Further study showed that it retained a high antigen binding affinity after being expressed in E. coli BL21 (DE3).     

Construction of a single-chain variable-fragment antibody against the superantigen Staphylococcal enterotoxin B

Staphylococcal food poisoning (SFP) is one of the most prevalent causes of food-borne illness throughout the world. SFP is caused by 21 different types of staphylococcal enterotoxins produced by Staphylococcus aureus. Among these, staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB) is the most potent toxin and is a listed biological warfare (BW) agent. Therefore, development of immunological reagents for detection of SEB is of the utmost importance. High-affinity and specific monoclonal antibodies are being used for detection of SEB, but hybridoma clones tend to lose their antibody-secreting ability over time. This problem can be overcome by the use of recombinant antibodies produced in a bacterial system. In the present investigation, genes from a hybridoma clone encoding monoclonal antibody against SEB were immortalized using antibody phage display technology. A murine phage display library containing single-chain variable-fragment (ScFv) antibody genes was constructed in a pCANTAB 5E phagemid vector. Phage particles displaying ScFv were rescued by reinfection of helper phage followed by four rounds of biopanning for selection of SEB binding ScFv antibody fragments by using phage enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Soluble SEB-ScFv antibodies were characterized from one of the clones showing high affinity for SEB. The anti-SEB ScFv antibody was highly specific, and its affinity constant was 3.16 nM as determined by surface plasmon resonance (SPR). These results demonstrate that the recombinant antibody constructed by immortalizing the antibody genes from a hybridoma clone is useful for immunodetection of SEB.     

Use of a peptide mimotope to guide the humanization of MRK-16, an anti-P-glycoprotein monoclonal antibody.

A mimotope-guided strategy for engineering antibodies directed against orphan targets or antigens that are difficult to purify was developed and used to humanize the murine MRK-16 monoclonal antibody (mAb). MRK-16 recognizes a conformational epitope of a 170-kDa membrane protein, termed P-glycoprotein (P-gp). Elevated expression of P-gp on tumor cells is associated with resistance to cytotoxic drugs, a major obstacle in chemotherapy. Murine MRK-16 was used to enrich and screen a phage-displayed peptide library to identify reactive mimotopes. One peptide, termed ALR1, was enriched to a greater extent than others and subsequently was expressed as a fusion protein with glutathione S-transferase. ALR1 fusion protein bound MRK-16 specifically and inhibited binding of MRK-16 to cells expressing elevated levels of P-gp. To humanize MRK-16, the murine complementarity determining regions were grafted onto homologous human heavy and light chain variable region frameworks. Framework residues that differed between the murine MRK-16 and the homologous human templates were analyzed and subsequently, five framework positions potentially important for maintaining the specificity and affinity of MRK-16 were identified. A combinatorial library consisting of 32 variants encoding all possible combinations of murine and human residues at the five differing framework positions was expressed in a phage system. In the absence of purified P-gp, ALR1 fusion protein was used as surrogate antigen to screen the antibody library to identify the framework combination that most preserved the binding activity of the mAb. On the basis of the initial screening against the mimotope four antibody variants were selected for further characterization. The binding affinity of these variants for the ALR1 fusion protein correlated with their binding to cells expressing elevated levels of P-gp. Thus, peptide mimotopes which can be identified for virtually any antibody including those that recognize conformational or carbohydrate epitopes, can serve as antigen templates for antibody engineering.     

Multiplexed fluid array screening of phage displayed anti-ricin single domain antibodies for rapid assessment of specificity

Phage display is a well-known technique that facilitates the selection of peptides or proteins that bind to a desired target. Using this tool, binding elements contained in the natural immune repertoires of the source animal or from a synthetically generated collection may be selected. The unpaired variable domain of the llama's heavy-chain-only classes of immunoglobulins represents an ideal source of genetic material to create phage display libraries. Initial panning of a semi-synthetic llama library yielded only one binder to the toxin ricin. In an effort to increase the number of monoclonal phage binders selected, the Luminex xMAP technology (Luminex, Austin, TX, USA) was used in addition to the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to screen clonal populations of phage after three rounds of selection. The xMAP technology detected phage displayed single domain antibody (sdAb) bound to ricin immobilized on the surface of microspheres under equilibrium conditions. This enhanced capability led directly to the identification of additional single domain antibodies of interest. The selected sdAbs were expressed, purified, and then evaluated for their specificity as well as enhanced thermal stability in comparison to conventional immunoglobulin G (IgG). We determined equilibrium dissociation constants and demonstrated their use as effective capture molecules in sandwich immunoassays.     

Tailoring in vitro selection for a picomolar affinity human antibody directed against vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 for enhanced neutralizing activity

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and its receptors have been implicated in promoting solid tumor growth and metastasis via stimulating tumor-associated angiogenesis. We previously identified several fully human neutralizing anti-VEGF receptor 2 (or kinase inserting domain-containing receptor (KDR)) antibodies from a large antibody phage display library. These antibodies bind specifically to KDR, block VEGF/KDR interaction, and inhibit VEGF-induced proliferation of human endothelial cells and migration of KDR+ leukemia cells. Three of these antibodies, interestingly, share an identical heavy chain variable (VH) sequence. In this report, we constructed a new library comprising the single VH paired with the variable light chain (VL) repertoire obtained from the original na?ve human library. Initial in vitro selection revealed that the single VH could pair with a number of different VL while retaining its specificity for KDR. However, a consensus VH/VL pair, clone 1121, was identified after three or four rounds of selection by tailoring the stringency of the panning conditions. Clone 1121 showed a >30-fold higher binding affinity to KDR (Kd, 100 pm) because of improvement on both association and dissociation constants and blocked VEGF/KDR interaction with an IC50 of approximately 1 nm, compared with that of 3-4 nm for the parent Fab fragments. Further, clone 1121 was more potent in inhibiting VEGF-stimulated KDR phosphorylation in endothelial cells. A binding epitope mapping study on clone 1121 and one of the parent clones, 2C6, demonstrated that both antibodies interacted with the third immunoglobulin domain within the extracellular region of KDR. Several peptide phage display libraries were utilized to further examine the fine binding specificities of the two antibodies. All of the 2C6-binding peptides are cysteine-constrained, whereas clone 1121 binds to both cysteine-constrained and linear peptides. It is noteworthy that most of the 2C6-binding peptides also cross-react with clone 1121, but none of the clone 1121-specific peptides binds to 2C6, indicating that clone 1121 retained part of the original binding epitope(s) of 2C6 while gaining new binding specificity. Taken together, our observation suggests that clone 1121 may have great clinical potential in anti-angiogenesis therapy. It further underscores the efforts to identify antibodies of high affinity for enhanced biological activities.     

Application of phage-displayed single chain antibodies in western blot

A phage display single chain fragment variable library constructed on pⅢ protein of M13 filamentous phage was screened using B-lymphocyte stimulator and FP248 as selective molecules. After four rounds of panning, there was a remarkable enrichment in the titer of bound phages. Twenty phage clones were selected from the last round and screened by means of phage-ELISA. With the antibody phages as primary antibodies in Western blot, we developed a method for detecting the specific antigen. The dilutions of antibody phages depend on the affinity between antibody-displayed phage particles and antigens.     

Off-rate screening for selection of high-affinity anti-drug antibodies

The rapidly increasing number of therapeutic antibodies in clinical development and on the market requires corresponding detection reagents for monitoring the concentration of these drugs in patient samples and as positive controls for measurement of anti-drug antibodies. Phage display of large recombinant antibody libraries has been shown to enable the rapid development of fully human anti-idiotypic antibodies binding specifically to antibody drugs, since the in vitro panning approach allows for incorporation of suitable blockers to drive selection toward the paratope of the drug. A typical bottleneck in antibody generation projects is ranking of the many candidates obtained after panning on the basis of antibody binding strength. Ideally, such method will work without prior labeling of antigens and with crude bacterial lysates. We developed an off-rate screening method of crude Escherichia coli lysates containing monovalent Fab fragments obtained after phage display of the HuCAL PLATINUM® antibody library. We used the antibody drugs trastuzumab and cetuximab as antigen examples. Using the Octet® RED384 label-free sensor instrument we show that antibody off rates can be reliably determined in crude bacterial lysates with high throughput. We also demonstrate that the method can be applied to screening for high-affinity antibodies typically obtained after affinity maturation.     

A Sortase A Programmable Phage Display Format for Improved Panning of Fab Antibody Libraries

Phage display of combinatorial antibody libraries is a versatile tool in the field of antibody engineering, with diverse applications including monoclonal antibody (mAb) discovery, affinity maturation, and humanization. To improve the selection efficiency of antibody libraries, we developed a new phagemid display system that addresses the complication of bald phage propagation. The phagemid facilitates the biotinylation of fragment of antigen binding (Fab) antibody fragments displayed on phage via Sortase A catalysis and the subsequent enrichment of Fab-displaying phage during selections. In multiple contexts, this selection approach improved the enrichment of target-reactive mAbs by depleting background phage. Panels of cancer cell line-reactive mAbs with high diversity and specificity were isolated from a naïve chimeric rabbit/human Fab library using this approach, highlighting its potential to accelerate antibody engineering efforts and to empower concerted antibody drug and target discovery.
