Abstract
The binding of functional groups to antibodies is crucial for disease treatment, diagnosis, and basic scientific research. Traditionally, antibody modifications have focused on the Fc region to maintain antigen-antibody binding activity. However, such modifications may impact critical antibody functions, including immune cell surface receptor activation, cytokine release, and other immune responses. In recent years, modifications targeting the antigen-binding fragment (Fab) region have garnered increasing attention. Precise modifications of the Fab region not only maximize the retention of antigen-antibody binding capacity but also enhance numerous physicochemical properties of antibodies. This paper reviews the chemical, biological, biochemical, and computer-assisted methods for modifying the Fab region of antibodies, discussing their advantages, limitations, recent advances, and future trends.

Abstract
Antineoplastic therapy is one of the main research themes of this century. Modern approaches have been implemented to target and heighten the effect of cytostatic drugs on tumors and diminish their general/unspecific toxicity. In this context, antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) represent a promising and successful strategy. The aim of this review was to assess different aspects regarding ADCs. They were presented from a chemical and a pharmacological perspective and aspects like structure, conjugation and development particularities alongside effects, clinical trials, safety issues and perspectives and challenges for future use of these drugs were discussed. Representative examples include but are not limited to the following main structural components of ADCs: monoclonal antibodies (trastuzumab, brentuximab), linkers (pH-sensitive, reduction-sensitive, peptide-based, phosphate-based, and others), and payloads (doxorubicin, emtansine, ravtansine, calicheamicin). Regarding pharmacotherapy success, the high effectiveness expectation associated with ADC treatment is supported by the large number of ongoing clinical trials. Major aspects such as development strategies are first discussed, advantages and disadvantages, safety and efficacy, offering a retrospective insight on the subject. The second part of the review is prospective, focusing on various plans to overcome the previously identified difficulties.

Abstract
Hydrodynamic dimension (HD) is the primary indicator of the size of bioconjugated particles and biomolecules. It is an important parameter in the study of solid-liquid two-phase dynamics. HD dynamic monitoring is crucial for precise and customized medical research as it enables the investigation of the continuous changes in the physicochemical characteristics of biomolecules in response to external stimuli. However, current HD measurements based on Brownian motion, such as dynamic light scattering (DLS), are inadequate for meeting the polydisperse sample demands of dynamic monitoring. In this paper, we propose MMQCM method samples of various types and HD dynamic monitoring. An alternating magnetic field of frequency ωm excites biomolecule-magnetic bead particles (bioMBs) to generate magnetization motion, and the quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) senses this motion to provide HD dynamic monitoring. Specifically, the magnetization motion is modulated onto the thickness-shear oscillation of the QCM at the frequency ωq. By analysis of the frequency spectrum of the QCM output signal, the ratio of the magnitudes of the real and imaginary parts of the components at frequency ωq ± 2ωm is extracted to characterize the particle size. Using the MMQCM approach, we successfully evaluated the size of bioMBs with different biomolecule concentrations. The 30 min HD dynamic monitoring was implemented. An increase of ∼10 nm in size was observed upon biomolecular structural stretching. Subsequently, the size of bioMBs gradually reduced due to the continuous dissociation of biomolecules, with a total reduction of 20∼40 nm. This HD dynamic monitoring demonstrates that the release of biomolecules can be regulated by controlling the duration of magnetic stimulation, providing valuable insights and guidance for controlled drug release in personalized precision medicine.

Abstract
Among the common methods used for antibody immobilization on electrode surfaces, which is the best available option for immunosensor fabrication? To answer this question, we first used graphene-chitosan-Au/Pt nanoparticle (G-Chi-Au/PtNP) nanocomposites to modify a gold electrode (GE). Second, avian reovirus monoclonal antibody (ARV/MAb) was immobilized on the GE surface by using four common methods, which included glutaraldehyde (Glu), 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-carbodiimide/N-hydroxysuccinimide (EDC/NHS), direct incubation or cysteamine hydrochloride (CH). Third, the electrodes were incubated with bovine serum albumin, four different avian reovirus (ARV) immunosensors were obtained. Last, the four ARV immunosensors were used to detect ARV. The results showed that the ARV immunosensors immobilized via Glu, EDC/NHS, direct incubation or CH showed detection limits of 100.63 EID50 mL-1, 100.48 EID50 mL-1, 100.37 EID50 mL-1 and 100.46 EID50 mL-1 ARV (S/N = 3) and quantification limits of 101.15 EID50 mL-1, and 101.00 EID50 mL-1, 100.89 EID50 mL-1 and 100.98 EID50 mL-1 ARV (S/N = 10), respectively, while the linear range of the immunosensor immobilized via CH (0-105.82 EID50 mL-1 ARV) was 10 times broader than that of the immunosensor immobilized via direct incubation (0-104.82 EID50 mL-1 ARV) and 100 times broader than those of the immunosensors immobilized via Glu (0-103.82 EID50 mL-1 ARV) or EDC/NHS (0-103.82 EID50 mL-1 ARV). And the four immunosensors showed excellent selectivity, reproducibility and stability.

Abstract
Antibodies are an attractive therapeutic modality for cancer treatment as they allow the increase of the treatment response rate and avoid the severe side effects of chemotherapy. Notwithstanding the strong benefit of antibodies, the efficacy of anti-cancer antibodies can dramatically vary among patients and ultimately result in no response to the treatment. Here, we have developed a novel means to regioselectively label the Fc domain of any therapeutic antibody with a radionuclide chelator in a single step chemistry, with the aim to study by SPECT/CT imaging if the radiolabeled antibody is capable of targeting cancer cells in vivo. A Fc-III peptide was used as bait to bring a carbonate electrophilic site linked to a metal chelator and to a carboxyphenyl leaving group in close proximity with an antibody Fc nucleophile amino acid (K317), thereby triggering the covalent linkage of the chelator to the antibody lysine, with the concomitant release of the carboxyphenyl Fc-III ligand. Using CHX-A''-DTPA, we radiolabeled trastuzumab with indium-111 and showed in biodistribution and imaging experiments that the antibody accumulated successfully in the SK-OV-3 xenograft tumour implanted in mice. We found that our methodology leads to homogeneous conjugation of CHX-A''-DTPA to the antibody, and confirmed that the Fc domain can be selectively labeled at K317, with a minor level of unspecific labeling on the Fab domain. The present method can be developed as a clinical diagnostic tool to predict the success of the therapy. Furthermore, our Fc-III one step chemistry concept paves the way to a broad array of other applications in antibody bioengineering.

Abstract
Detection of small amounts of target molecules with high sensitivity is important for the diagnosis of many diseases, including cancers, and is particularly important to detect early stages of disease. Here, we report the development of a temperature-responsive fusion protein (ELP-DCN) comprised of an elastin-like polypeptide (ELP), poly-aspartic acid (D), antibody-binding domain C (C), and NanoLuc luciferase (N). ELP-DCN proteins form nanoparticles above a certain threshold temperature that display an antibody-binding domain and NanoLuc luciferase on their surface. ELP-DCN nanoparticles can be applied for enhancement of immunoassay systems because they provide more antibody-binding sites and an increased number of luciferase molecules, resulting in an increase in assay signal. Here, we report the detection of human serum albumin (HSA) as a model protein using anti-HSA and ELP-DCN proteins. Upon formation of ELP-DCN nanoparticles, the detection limit improved tenfold compared to the monomeric form of ELP-DCN.

Abstract
The immunosensor has been proven a versatile tool to detect various analytes, such as food contaminants, pathogenic bacteria, antibiotics and biomarkers related to cancer. To fabricate robust and reproducible immunosensors with high sensitivity, the covalent immobilization of immunoglobulins (IgGs) in a site-specific manner contributes to better performance. Instead of the random IgG orientations result from the direct yet non-selective immobilization techniques, this review for the first time introduces the advances of stepwise yet site-selective conjugation strategies to give better biosensing efficiency. Noncovalently adsorbing IgGs is the first but decisive step to interact specifically with the Fc fragment, then following covalent conjugate can fix this uniform and antigens-favorable orientation irreversibly. In this review, we first categorized this stepwise strategy into two parts based on the different noncovalent interactions, namely adhesive layer-mediated interaction onto homofunctional support and layer-free interaction onto heterofunctional support (which displays several different functionalities on its surface that are capable to interact with IgGs). Further, the influence of ligands characteristics (synthesis strategies, spacer requirements and matrices selection) on the heterofunctional support has also been discussed. Finally, conclusions and future perspectives for the real-world application of stepwise covalent conjugation are discussed. This review provides more insights into the fabrication of high-efficiency immunosensor, and special attention has been devoted to the well-orientation of full-length IgGs onto the sensing platform.

Abstract
Liposome-based immunoassay (LIA) is an attractive protocol for amplifying the detection signals because of the excellent ability of liposomes to encapsulate signal marker compounds. The antigen-binding activity of the conjugated antibodies on the liposomal surface is crucial for the specificity and sensitivity of LIA. We present here a general platform to ensure that antibodies can conjugate onto the surface of liposomes in a site-specific and oriented manner. A His-handle-modified antibody with Fc region-specific and covalent conjugation was first fabricated using a photoactivatable ZBpa-His tag that was engineered using the aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase/suppressor tRNA technique. Based on the high affinity between the His tag and divalent metal ions, the novel His-modified antibody was oriented onto the surface of nickel ion-modified liposomes encapsulating horseradish peroxidase. With the prostate-specific antigen as a model, the detection efficiency of the new immunoliposomes was evaluated by chemiluminescence immunoassay. The immunoliposomes exhibited a limit of detection of 0.2 pg mL-1, which was a six time improvement compared with that of the chemical-coupled antibody-liposome conjugates. Thus, the proposed immunoliposomes are expected to hold potential applications for the sensitive detection of various biomarkers in complicated serum samples.

Abstract
Conjugation of various reagents to antibodies has long been an elegant way to combine the superior binding features of the antibody with other desired but non-natural functions. Applications range from labels for detection in different analytical assays to the creation of new drugs by conjugation to molecules which improves the pharmaceutical effect. In many of these applications, it has been proven advantageous to control both the site and the stoichiometry of the conjugation to achieve a homogeneous product with predictable, and often also improved, characteristics. For this purpose, many research groups have, during the latest decade, reported novel methods and techniques, based on small molecules, peptides, and proteins with inherent affinity for the antibody, for site-specific conjugation of antibodies. This review provides a comprehensive overview of these methods and their applications and also describes a historical perspective of the field.

Abstract
Recent advances in nanotechnology techniques enable the production of polymeric nanoparticles with specific morphologies and dimensions and, by tailoring their surfaces, one can manipulate their characteristics to suit specific applications. In this work we report an innovative approach for the immobilization of a commercial lipase from Candida rugosa (CRL) which employs nanostructured polymeric carriers conjugated with anti-lipase monoclonal antibodies (MoAbs). MoAbs were chemically conjugated on the surface of polymeric nanoparticles and used to selectively adsorb CRL molecules. Hydrolytic enzymatic assays evidenced that such immobilization technique afforded a significant enhancement of enzymatic activity in comparison to the free enzyme.

Abstract
Drug allergies occur when hapten-like drug metabolites conjugated to serum proteins, through their interactions with specific IgE, trigger allergic reactions that can be life threatening. A molecule termed covalent heterobivalent inhibitor (cHBI) was designed to specifically target drug hapten-specific IgE to prevent it from binding drug-haptenated serum proteins. cHBI binds the two independent sites on a drug hapten-specific Ab and covalently conjugates only to the specific IgE, permanently inhibiting it. The cHBI design was evaluated via ELISA to measure cHBI-IgE binding, degranulation assays of rat basophil leukemia cells for in vitro efficacy, and mouse models of ear swelling and systemic anaphylaxis responses for in vivo efficacy. The cHBI design was evaluated using two separate models: one specific to inhibit penicillin G-reactive IgE and another to inhibit IgE specific to a model compound, dansyl. We show that cHBI conjugated specifically to its target Ab and inhibited degranulation in cellular degranulation assays using rat basophil leukemia cells. Furthermore, cHBIs demonstrated in vivo inhibition of allergic responses in both murine models. We establish the cHBI design to be a versatile platform for inhibiting hapten/IgE interactions, which can potentially be applied to inhibit IgE-mediated allergic reactions to any drug/small-molecule allergy.

Abstract
The discovery of the RNA-guided DNA nuclease CRISPR-Cas9 has enabled the targeted editing of genomes from diverse organisms, but the permanent and inheritable nature of genome modification also poses immense risks. The potential for accidental exposure, malicious use, or undesirable persistence of Cas9 therapeutics and off-target genome effects highlight the need for detection assays. Here we report a centrifugal microfluidic platform for the measurement of both Cas9 protein levels and nuclease activity. Because Cas9 from many bacterial species have been adapted for biotechnology applications, we developed the capability to detect Cas9 from the widely-used S. pyogenes, as well as S. aureus, N. meningitides, and S. thermophilus using commercially-available antibodies. Further, we show that the phage-derived anti-CRISPR protein AcrIIC1, which binds to Cas9 from several species, can be used as a capture reagent to broaden the species range of detection. As genome modification generally requires Cas9 nuclease activity, a fluorescence-based sedimentation nuclease assay was also incorporated to allow the sensitive and simultaneous measurement of both Cas9 protein and activity in a single biological sample.

Abstract
A critical challenge in producing an antibody-based assay with the highest reproducibility and sensitivity is the strategy to immobilize antibodies to solid phase. To date, numerous methods of antibody immobilization were reported but each was subjected to its advantages and limitations. The current study proposes a new potential antibody binding protein, the human neonatal fragment crystallizable (Fc) receptor. This protein has shown its high affinity to the Fc of antibody either in vivo or in vitro. Human neonatal Fc receptor is a heterodimer constructed by p51 α-heavy chain and β2-microglobulin light chain; however, the binding sites toward the antibody are located in the p51 α-heavy chain. Hence, vector cloning and recombinant protein expression were carried out to express the p51 α-heavy chain of the human neonatal Fc receptor (hFcRn-α). The recombinant protein expressed, hFcRn-α, was adopted to pin rabbit IgG against hepatitis B virus surface antigen to a solid phase. A sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was further developed to evaluate the efficiency of hFcRn-α-directed immobilization in antigen detection. The result was compared with the conventional physical adsorption method. The findings demonstrated that human neonatal Fc receptor was efficient in pinning antibodies and generating higher signals compared with the physical adsorption of antibody.

Abstract
Small dimensions of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) necessitate antibodies to be immobilized in an oriented fashion in order to conserve their antigen binding activity for proper function. In this study, we used the previously described UV-NBS method to site-specifically incorporate a thioctic acid (TA) functionality into antibodies at the conserved nucleotide-binding site (NBS). Modified antibodies were immobilized on the AuNP surface in an oriented manner utilizing the newly incorporated TA functionality while maintaining the antibody structure and activity. The resulting antibody functionalized AuNPs via the UV-NBS method demonstrated significantly enhanced antigen detection capabilities and improved antigen detection sensitivity with a high level of selectivity when compared to other commonly used AuNP functionalization methods. Our results demonstrate that the limit of detection (LOD) for AuNPs functionalized via the UV-NBS method was 55 pM PSA, which is 40, 851, and 5873-fold improved over the other immobilization methods: EDC-NHS, thiol reduction, and ionic interaction, respectively. Consequently, the UV-NBS method provides a universal, site-specific functionalization method that generates highly sensitive and more stable antibody functionalized AuNPs which are amenable to any available detection and treatment assay with potential significant implications.

Abstract
Immobilized antibody systems are the key to develop efficient diagnostics and separations tools. In the last decade, developments in the field of biomolecular engineering and crosslinker chemistry have greatly influenced the development of this field. With all these new approaches at our disposal, several new immobilization methods have been created to address the main challenges associated with immobilized antibodies. Few of these challenges that we have discussed in this review are mainly associated to the site-specific immobilization, appropriate orientation, and activity retention. We have discussed the effect of antibody immobilization approaches on the parameters on the performance of an immunoassay.

Abstract
Here, we present an affinity membrane chromatography technique for purification of monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies from cell culture media of hybridomas and ascites fluids. The m-NBST method utilizes the nucleotide-binding site (NBS) that is located on the Fab variable domain of immunoglobulins to enable capturing of antibody molecules on a membrane affinity column via a small molecule, tryptamine, which has a moderate binding affinity to the NBS. Regenerated cellulose membrane was selected as a matrix due to multiple advantages over traditionally used resin-based affinity systems. Rituximab was used for proof of concept experiments. Antibody purification was accomplished by first capture of injected samples while running equilibration buffer (50 mM sodium phosphate pH 7.0), followed by elution achieved by running a gradient of mild elution buffer (3 M NaCl in 50 mM phosphate pH 7.0). The results indicate that the m-NBST column efficiency for Rituximab was >98%, with a purity level of >98%. The quality and the capacity of this small molecule membrane affinity purification method is further evaluated for a number of parameters such as: injection concentrations, volumes, wash/bind time, elution gradient, antibody/protein-contaminant combinations, effects of injection buffer, post-purification antigen binding activity of antibodies, and column reusability and stability.

Abstract
Nonspecific ligation methods have been traditionally used to chemically modify immunoglobulins. Site-specific ligation of compounds (toxins or ligands) to antibodies has become increasingly important in the fields of therapeutic antibody-drug conjugates and bispecific antibodies. In this present study, we took advantage of the reported nucleotide-binding pocket (NBP) in the Fab arms of immunoglobulins by developing indole-based, 5-fluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene-derivatized OBOC peptide libraries for the identification of affinity elements that can be used as site-specific derivatization agents against both mono- and polyclonal antibodies. Ligation can occur at any one of the few lysine residues located at the NBP. Immunoconjugates resulting from such affinity elements can be used as therapeutics against cancer or infectious agents.

Abstract
Oriented immobilization of antibodies and antibody fragments has become increasingly important as a result of the efforts to reduce the size of diagnostic and sensor devices to miniaturized dimensions for improved accessibility to the end-user. Reduced dimensions of sensor devices necessitate the immobilized antibodies to conserve their antigen binding activity for proper operation. Fab fragments are becoming more commonly used in small-scaled diagnostic devices due to their small size and ease of manufacture. In this study, we used the previously described UV-NBS(Biotin) method to functionalize Fab fragments with IBA-EG11-Biotin linker utilizing UV energy to initiate a photo-cross-linking reaction between the nucleotide binding site (NBS) on the Fab fragment and IBA-Biotin molecule. Our results demonstrate that immobilization of biotinylated Fab fragments via UV-NBS(Biotin) method generated the highest level of immobilized Fab on surfaces when compared to other typical immobilization methods while preserving antigen binding activity. UV-NBS(Biotin) method provided 432-fold, 114-fold, and 29-fold improved antigen detection sensitivity than physical adsorption, NHS-Biotin, and ε-NH3(+), methods, respectively. Additionally, the limit of detection (LOD) for PSA utilizing Fab fragments immobilized via UV-NBS(Biotin) method was significantly lower than that of the other immobilization methods, with an LOD of 0.4 pM PSA. In summary, site-specific biotinylation of Fab fragments without structural damage or loss in antigen binding activity provides a wide range of application potential for UV-NBS immobilization technique across numerous diagnostic devices and nanotechnologies.

Abstract
The nucleotide binding site (NBS) is a highly conserved region between the variable light and heavy chains at the Fab domains of all antibodies, and a small molecule that we identified, indole-3-butyric acid (IBA), binds specifically to this site. Fab fragment, with its small size and simple production methods compared to intact antibody, is good candidate for use in miniaturized diagnostic devices and targeted therapeutic applications. However, commonly used modification techniques are not well suited for Fab fragments as they are often more delicate than intact antibodies. Fab fragments are of particular interest for sensor surface functionalization but immobilization results in damage to the antigen binding site and greatly reduced activity due to their truncated size that allows only a small area that can bind to surfaces without impeding antigen binding. In this study, we describe an NBS-UV photocrosslinking functionalization method (UV-NBS(Biotin) in which a Fab fragment is site-specifically biotinylated with an IBA-EG11-Biotin linker via UV energy exposure (1 J/cm(2)) without affecting its antigen binding activity. This study demonstrates successful immobilization of biotinylated Ebola detecting Fab fragment (KZ52 Fab fragment) via the UV-NBS(Biotin) method yielding 1031-fold and 2-fold better antigen detection sensitivity compared to commonly used immobilization methods: direct physical adsorption and NHS-Biotin functionalization, respectively. Utilization of the UV-NBS(Biotin) method for site-specific conjugation to Fab fragment represents a proof of concept use of Fab fragment for various diagnostic and therapeutic applications with numerous fluorescent probes, affinity molecules and peptides.

Abstract
Described here is a UV photo-cross-linking method that utilizes the NBS (nucleotide binding site) for site-specific covalent functionalization of antibodies with reactive thiol moieties (UV-NBS(Thiol)), while preserving antibody activity. By synthesizing an indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) conjugated version of cysteine we site-specifically photo-cross-linked a reactive thiol moiety to antibodies at the NBS. This thiol moiety can then be used as an orthogonally reactive location to conjugate various types of functional ligands that possess a thiol reactive group through disulfide bond formation or reaction with a maleimide functionalized ligand. Our results demonstrate the utility of the UV-NBS(Thiol) method by successfully functionalizing a prostate specific antigen antibody (IgG(PSA)) with IBA-Thiol and subsequent reaction with maleimide-fluorescein. An optimal UV energy of 0.5-1.5 J/cm(2) was determined to yield the most efficient photo-cross-linking and resulted in 1-1.5 conjugations per antibody while preserving antibody/antigen binding activity and Fc recognition. Utilizing the IBA-Thiol ligand allows for an efficient means of site-specifically conjugating UV sensitive functionalities to antibody NBS that would otherwise not have been amenable by the previously described UV-NBS photo-cross-linking method. The UV-NBS(Thiol) conjugation strategy can be utilized in various diagnostic and therapeutic applications with nearly limitless potential for the preparation of site-specific covalent conjugation of affinity tags, fluorescent molecules, peptides, and chemotherapeutics to antibodies.

Abstract
Recently, antibody-based fluorescent biosensors are receiving considerable attention as a suitable biomolecule for diagnostics, namely, homogeneous immunoassay and also as an imaging probe. To date, several strategies for "reagentless biosensors" based on antibodies and natural and engineered binding proteins have been described. In this review, several approaches are introduced including a recently described fluorescent antibody-based biosensor Quenchbody, which works on the principle of fluorescence quenching of attached dye and its antigen-dependent release. The merits and possible demerits of each approach are discussed. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: Recent advances in molecular engineering of antibody.
