An inert tracer: The binding site of a fluorescent dye on the antibody and its effects on Protein A chromatography. J Chromatogr A 2024; 1728:464995. [PMID: 38805895 DOI: 10.1016/j.chroma.2024.464995] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/25/2024] [Revised: 05/10/2024] [Accepted: 05/11/2024] [Indexed: 05/30/2024]
Abstract
Fluorescently labeled antibodies are widely used to visualize the adsorption process in protein chromatography using confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM), but also as a tracer for determination of residence time distribution (RTD) in continuous chromatography. It is assumed that the labeled protein is inert and representative of the unlabeled antibody, ignoring the fact that labeling with a fluorescent dye can change the characteristics of the original molecule. It became evident that the fluorescently labeled antibody has a higher affinity toward protein A resins such as MabSelect Sure. This can be due to slight differences in hydrophobicity and net charge, which are caused by the addition of the fluorescent dye. However, this difference is eliminated when using high salt concentrations in the adsorption studies. In this work, the site occupancy of two labeled antibodies, MAb1 (IgG1 subclass) and MAb2 (IgG2 subclass) conjugated with the fluorescent dye Alexa Fluor™ 488 was elucidated by intact mass spectrometry (MS) and peptide mapping LC-MS/MS, employing a sequential cleavage with Endoproteinase Lys-C and trypsin and in parallel with chymotrypsin alone. It was shown that the main binding site for the dye was a specific lysine in the heavy chains of the MAb1 and MAb2 molecules, in positions 188 and 189 respectively. Other lysine residues distributed throughout the protein sequence were labeled to a lot lesser extent. The labeled antibody had a slightly different affinity to MabSelect Sure although its primary binding site (to Protein A) was not affected by labeling, despite the secondary region responsible for binding to the protein A was partly labeled. Overall, the fluorescent-labeled antibodies are a good compromise as an inert tracer in residence time distribution and chromatography studies because they are much cheaper than isotope-labeled antibodies; However, the differences between the labeled and unlabeled antibodies should be considered.

Abstract
Nanodiamonds (NDs) are emerging as a promising candidate for multimodal bioimaging on account of their optical and spectroscopic properties. NDs are extensively utilized for bioimaging probes due to their defects and admixtures in their crystal lattice. There are many optically active defects presented in NDs called color centers, which are highly photostable, extremely sensitive to bioimaging, and capable of electron leap in the forbidden band; further, they absorb or emit light when leaping, enabling the nanodiamond to fluoresce. Fluorescent imaging plays a significant role in bioscience research, but traditional fluorescent dyes have some drawbacks in physical, optical and toxicity aspects. As a novel fluorescent labeling tool, NDs have become the focus of research in the field of biomarkers in recent years because of their various irreplaceable advantages. This review primarily focuses on the recent application progress of nanodiamonds in the field of bioimaging. In this paper, we will summarize the progress of ND research from the following aspects (including fluorescence imaging, Raman imaging, X-ray imaging, magnetic modulation fluorescence imaging, magnetic resonance imaging, cathodoluminescence imaging, and optical coherence tomography imaging) and expect to supply an outlook contribution for future nanodiamond exploration in bioimaging.

Patterns of protein adsorption in ion-exchange particles and columns: Evolution of protein concentration profiles during load, hold, and wash steps predicted for pore and solid diffusion mechanisms. J Chromatogr A 2021; 1653:462412.

Abstract
Elucidation of protein transport mechanism in ion exchanges is essential to model separation performance. In this work we simulate intraparticle adsorption profiles during batch adsorption assuming typical process conditions for pore, solid and parallel diffusion. Artificial confocal laser scanning microscopy images are created to identify apparent differences between the different transport mechanisms. Typical sharp fronts for pore diffusion are characteristic for Langmuir equilibrium constants of KL ≥1. Only at KL = 0.1 and lower, the profiles are smooth and practically indistinguishable from a solid diffusion mechanism. During hold and wash steps, at which the interstitial buffer is removed or exchanged, continuation of diffusion of protein molecules is significant for solid diffusion due to the adsorbed phase concentration driving force. For pore diffusion, protein mobility is considerable at low and moderate binding strength. Only when pore diffusion if completely dominant, and the binding strength is very high, protein mobility is low enough to restrict diffusion out of the particles. Simulation of column operation reveals substantial protein loss when operating conditions are not adjusted appropriately.

Abstract
The applicability of confocal laser scanning microscopy is limited, e.g. by attenuation of the excitation and the fluorescence emission beam. As a prerequisite for further processing and analysis of the obtained microscopic images, a new method is presented for correcting this attenuation. The correction is based on beam modelling and on a differential form of the modified Beer-Lambert law. It turns out that the intensity decay can be modelled as a double convolution of the microscopic image with the intensities of the excitation semibeam and the emission beam. Under weak assumptions made for the intensities of the fluorescent radiation and the detected signal, formulas for the attenuation correction and the attenuation simulation are derived. The method traces back to that one published by Roerdink which is modified concerning a more realistic beam modelling, avoiding the so-called weak attenuation expansion and considering fluorescence excitation throughout the light cone of the excitation beam. The applicability of the method is demonstrated for synthetic examples as well as microscopic images of chromatographic beads. It is shown that the new method can be successfully applied for reconstructing the true fluorophore distribution in specimens even if the microscopic images are affected by strong attenuation.

Mobile-Phase Modulators as Salt Tolerance Enhancers in Phenylboronate Chromatography: Thermodynamic Evaluation of the Mechanisms Underlying the Adsorption of Monoclonal Antibodies.

Abstract
Phenylboronate chromatography has been employed for bioseparation applications though details concerning the mechanisms of interaction between the ligand and macromolecules remain widely unknown. Here, the phenomena underlying the adsorption of an anti-human interleukin-8 (anti-IL8) monoclonal antibody (mAb) onto an m-aminophenylboronic acid (m-APBA) ligand in the presence of different mobile-phase modulators (NaF/MgCl 2 /(NH 4 ) 2 SO 4 ) and under different pH values (7.5/8.5/9.0) is investigated. Flow microcalorimetry (FMC) is applied to measure instantaneous heat energy transfer, providing insights about the role of specific and nonspecific interactions involved in the adsorptive process. Results show that the adsorption of anti-IL8 mAb to m-APBA is enthalpically driven, corroborating the presence of the reversible esterification reaction between boronic acid or boronates and cis-diol-containing molecules. Nevertheless, for all mobile-phase modulators studied, changes in thermogram profiles are observed as well as reductions in the net heat of adsorption when increasing the pH. Overall, FMC and parallel chromatographic experiments data suggest that ligand salt tolerance could be enhanced using mobile-phase modulators, with all salts studied promoting the specific cis-diol interactions and reducing nonspecific interactions. The last feature is more noticeable at pH values above ligand's pK a , mainly due to the ability of NaF and (NH 4 ) 2 SO 4 to diminish electrostatic interactions when compared to the commonly used NaCl.

Hindered diffusion of proteins in mixture adsorption on porous anion exchangers and impact on flow-through purification of large proteins. J Chromatogr A 2018; 1585:121-130.

Abstract
Complex adsorption kinetics behaviors of proteins in mixtures hampers chromatographic process development and complicates model-based prediction of separation. We investigated the adsorption characteristics of mixtures comprised of a larger protein (secretory immunoglobulins or thyroglobulin) and a smaller protein (serum albumin or green fluorescence protein) on the small-pore anion exchanger Q Sepharose FF. Confocal laser scanning microscopy measurements revealed that binding of the large protein was extremely slow and eventually stopped completely after the adsorption front penetrated just a few μm into the particle. Binding capacities after 24 h of incubation were nevertheless around 35 mg/mL of particle which is relatively high when considering that only a fraction of the particle was saturated, suggesting that locally-high bound protein concentrations are attained in a layer close to the particle surface. During mixture adsorption, the bound protein layer also significantly hindered diffusion of the smaller proteins into the particles resulting in about three times slower adsorption kinetics compared to single component adsorption. The combined effects of restricted diffusion and protein binding explain why flow-through purification of these mixtures with the small-pore resin Q Sepharose FF is effective under practical conditions. In this resin, diffusion of secretory immunoglobulins (or thyroglobulin) is restricted in the small pores so that despite their intrinsically greater affinity for the resin, much less binds compared to small proteins. Using the large-pore resin POROS 50 HQ results in faster transport, but also in more binding of secretory immunoglobulins (or thyroglobulin) compared to smaller protein impurities, preventing effective flow-through purification.

Abstract
Active bioinspired materials are appealing biotechnological targets, and their study is gaining momentum. These materials, which comprise of an inorganic matrix and one or more biomolecules, are extremely variable and therefore may result difficult to characterize in their intimate structure. In this work we have prepared a hydroxyapatite-l-asparaginase composite, with the perspective of using it in acute leukemia treatment. We demonstrate that the use of electron microscopy and powder X-ray diffraction, combined with the atomic-resolution information coming from solid-state NMR, allows us to understand the topology of the material and how the different components interplay to obtain an active composite.

Abstract
Paracrine cell communication plays a pivotal role for signal exchange between proximal cells in vivo. However, this localized, gradient type release of mediators at very low concentrations (pg/ml), relevant during physiological and pathological processes, is rarely reflected within in vitro approaches. This review gives an overview on state-of-the-art approaches, which transfer the paracrine cell-to-cell communication into in vitro cell culture model setups. The traditional methods like trans-well assays and more advanced microfluidic approaches are included. The review focusses on systems for localized release, mostly based on microparticles, which tightly mimic the paracrine interaction between single cells in 3D microenvironments. Approaches based on single microparticles, with the main focus on affinity-controlled storage and release of cytokines, are reviewed and their importance for understanding paracrine communication is highlighted. Various methods to study the cytokine release and their advantages and disadvantages are discussed. Basic principles of the release characteristics, like diffusion mechanisms, are quantitatively described, including the formation of resulting gradients around the local sources. In vitro cell experiments using such localized microparticle release systems in approaches to increase understanding of stem cell behavior within their niches and regulation of wound healing are highlighted as examples of successful localized release systems for mimicking paracrine cell communication.

Abstract
TGFβ1 is a key regulator for induction of tissue remodeling after dermal wounding. We present a model of paracrine delivery of TGFβ1 for differentiation of dermal fibroblasts based on a fibrillar 3D collagen matrix and embedded TGFβ1 releasing microparticles. We found differentiation into myofibroblasts was achieved in a TGFβ1 dependent manner at much lower doses than systemic delivery. This effect is accounted to the slow and sustained TGFβ1 release mimicking paracrine cell signals.

Abstract
A fully-mechanistic understanding of protein transport and sorption in chromatographic materials has remained elusive despite the application of modern continuum and molecular observation techniques. While measuring overall uptake rates in proteins in chromatographic media is relatively straightforward, quantifying mechanistic contributions is much more challenging. Further, at equilibrium in fully-loaded particles, measuring rates of kinetic exchange and diffusion can be very challenging. As models of multicomponent separations rely on accurate depictions of protein displacement and elution, a straightforward method is desired to measure the mobility of bound protein in chromatographic media. We have adapted fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) methods to study transport and exchange of protein at equilibrium in a single particle. Further, we have developed a mathematical model to capture diffusion and desorption rates governing fluorescence recovery and investigate how these rates vary as a function of protein size, binding strength and media type. An emphasis is placed on explaining differences between polymer-modified and traditional media, which in the former case is characterized by rapid uptake, slow displacement and large elution pools, differences that have been postulated to result from steric and kinetic limitations. Finally, good qualitative agreement is achieved predicting flow confocal displacement profiles in polymer-modified materials, based solely on estimates of kinetic and diffusion parameters from FRAP observations.

Abstract
Microbial bioaggregates and biofilms are hydrated three-dimensional structures of cells and extracellular polymeric substances (EPS). Microbial communities associated with interfaces and the samples thereof may come from natural, technical, and medical habitats. For imaging such complex microbial communities confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) is the method of choice. CLSM allows flexible mounting and noninvasive three-dimensional sectioning of hydrated, living, as well as fixed samples. For this purpose a broad range of objective lenses is available having different working distance and resolution. By means of CLSM the signals detected may originate from reflection, autofluorescence, reporter genes/fluorescence proteins, fluorochromes binding to specific targets, or other probes conjugated with fluorochromes. Recorded datasets can be used not only for visualization but also for semiquantitative analysis. As a result CLSM represents a very useful tool for imaging of microbiological samples in combination with other analytical techniques.

Abstract
Fouling of chromatographic resins over their operational lifetimes can be a significant problem for commercial bioseparations. In this article, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), batch uptake experiments, confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) and small-scale column studies were applied to characterize a case study where fouling had been observed during process development. The fouling was found to occur on an anion exchange (AEX) polishing step following a protein A affinity capture step in a process for the purification of a monoclonal antibody. Fouled resin samples analyzed by SEM and batch uptake experiments indicated that after successive batch cycles, significant blockage of the pores at the resin surface occurred, thereby decreasing the protein uptake rate. Further studies were performed using CLSM to allow temporal and spatial measurements of protein adsorption within the resin, for clean, partially fouled and extensively fouled resin samples. These samples were packed within a miniaturized flowcell and challenged with fluorescently labeled albumin that enabled in situ measurements. The results indicated that the foulant has a significant impact on the kinetics of adsorption, severely decreasing the protein uptake rate, but only results in a minimal decrease in saturation capacity. The impact of the foulant on the kinetics of adsorption was further investigated by loading BSA onto fouled resin over an extended range of flow rates. By decreasing the flow rate during BSA loading, the capacity of the resin was recovered. These data support the hypothesis that the foulant is located on the particle surface, only penetrating the particle to a limited degree. The increased understanding into the nature of the fouling can help in the continued process development of this industrial example. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), batch uptake experiments, confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) and small-scale column experiments were applied to characterize a case study where fouling had been observed on an anion exchange chromatography in a monoclonal antibody process. The results suggest the foulant is located on the particle surface, resulting in a minimal decrease in saturation capacity, but having a significant impact on the kinetics of adsorption, severely decreasing protein uptake rate.

Abstract
Confocal Raman microscopy is a nondestructive analytical technique that combines the chemical information from vibrational spectroscopy with the spatial resolution of confocal microscopy. It was applied, for the first time, to measure conformation and distribution of protein adsorbed in wetted chromatographic particles. Monoclonal antibody was loaded into the Fractogel EMD SO(3) (M) cation exchanger at 2 mS/cm or 10 mS/cm. Amide I and III frequencies in the Raman spectrum of the adsorbed protein suggest that there are no detectable changes of the original β-sheet conformation in the chromatographic particles. Protein depth profile measurements indicate that, when the conductivity is increased from 2 mS/cm to 10 mS/cm, there is a change in mass transport mechanism for protein adsorption, from the shrinking-core model to the homogeneous-diffusion model. In this study, the use of confocal Raman microscopy to measure protein distribution in chromatographic particles fundamentally agrees with previous confocal laser scanning microscopic investigations, but confocal Raman spectroscopy enjoys additional advantages: use of unlabeled protein to eliminate fluorescent labeling, ability for characterization of protein secondary structure, and ability for spectral normalization to provide a nondestructive experimental approach to correct light attenuation effects caused by refractive index (RI) mismatching in semiopaque chromatographic particles.

Abstract
Extracorporeal blood purification is a promising therapeutic modality for sepsis, a potentially fatal, dysfunctional immunologic state caused by infection. Removal of inflammatory mediators such as cytokines from the blood may help attenuate hyper-inflammatory signaling during sepsis and improve patient outcomes. We are developing a hemoadsorption device to remove cytokines from the circulating blood using biocompatible, porous sorbent beads. In this work, we investigated whether competitive adsorption of serum solutes affects cytokine removal dynamics within the hemoadsorption beads. Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) was used to quantify intraparticle adsorption profiles of fluorescently labeled IL-6 in horse serum, and results were compared to predictions of a two component competitive adsorption model. Supraphysiologic IL-6 concentrations were necessary to obtain adequate CLSM signal, therefore unknown model parameters were fit to CLSM data at high IL-6 concentrations, and the fitted model was used to simulate cytokine adsorption behavior at physiologically relevant levels which were below the microscopy detection threshold. CLSM intraparticle IL-6 adsorption profiles agreed with predictions of the competitive adsorption model, indicating displacement of cytokine by high affinity serum solutes. However, competitive adsorption effects were predicted using the model to be negligible at physiologic cytokine concentrations associated with hemoadsorption therapy.

Abstract
Bovine serum albumin (BSA) was conjugated to three organic fluorescent probes, 5-(4,6-dichloro-s-triazin-2-ylamino)fluorescein hydrochloride (DTAF), Rhodamine B isothiocyanate (RITC), and Lucifer yellow VS (LY). The protein sorption profile to one pHEMA-based (etafilcon A) and three silicone hydrogel (SH) contact lens types (lotrafilcon B, balafilcon A and senofilcon A) was determined using confocal laser scanning microscopy. In addition, all lenses were incubated in dye solutions containing the fluorescent probe alone; and in a separate experiment BSA accumulation was quantified using radiolabeling. The different fluorescent conjugates showed similar sorption profiles for the pHEMA-based lens, but marked differences for all SH lenses. Lotrafilcon B accumulated more protein on the surface as compared to the matrix, independent of the fluorescent probe used for conjugation. Protein sorption varied for senofilcon A, with DTAF-BSA sorbing primarily to the surface region, while the other conjugates penetrated in equal amounts into the matrix. Balafilcon A exhibited smaller differences between conjugates, with LY-BSA allowing the protein to fully penetrate the matrix, while the other conjugates showed minor surface adsorption. Sorption curves of unbound dyes were often similar compared to the conjugated results. BSA profiles to pHEMA-based and silicone hydrogel lenses were highly dependent on the fluorescent probe used and none of the probes accurately reflected quantitative protein levels for the lens materials investigated.

Abstract
Sepsis is characterized by a systemic inflammatory response caused by infection, and can result in organ failure and death. Removal of inflammatory mediators such as cytokines from the circulating blood is a promising treatment for severe sepsis. We are developing an extracorporeal hemoadsorption device to remove cytokines from the blood using biocompatible, polymer sorbent beads. In this study, we used confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) to directly examine adsorption dynamics of a cytokine (IL-6) within hemoadsorption beads. Fluorescently labeled IL-6 was incubated with sorbent particles, and CLSM was used to quantify spatial adsorption profiles of IL-6 within the sorbent matrix. IL-6 adsorption was limited to the outer 15 microm of the sorbent particle over a relevant clinical time period, and intraparticle adsorption dynamics was modeled using classical adsorption/diffusion mechanisms. A single model parameter, alpha = q(max) K/D, was estimated by fitting CLSM intensity profiles to our mathematical model, where q(max) and K are Langmuir adsorption isotherm parameters, and D is the effective diffusion coefficient of IL-6 within the sorbent matrix. Given the large diameter of our sorbent beads (450 microm), less than 20% of available sorbent surface area participates in cytokine adsorption. Development of smaller beads may accelerate cytokine adsorption by maximizing available surface area per bead mass.
