Anal Biochem 2024; 693:115584. [PMID: 38843975 DOI: 10.1016/j.ab.2024.115584] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/24/2024] [Revised: 05/25/2024] [Accepted: 06/03/2024] [Indexed: 06/18/2024]
Abstract
Using the amino acid sequences and analysis of selected known structures of Bt Cry toxins, Cry1Ab, Cry1Ac, Cry1Ah, Cry1B, Cry1C and Cry1F we specifically designed immunogens. After antibodies selection, broad-spectrum polyclonal antibodies (pAbs) and monoclonal antibody (namely 1A0-mAb) were obtained from rabbit and mouse, respectively. The produced pAbs displayed broad spectrum activity by recognizing Cry1 toxin, Cry2Aa, Cry2Ab and Cry3Aa with half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) values of 0.12-9.86 μg/mL. Similarly, 1A0-mAb showed broad spectrum activity, recognizing all of the above Cry protein (IC50 values of 4.66-20.46 μg/mL) with the exception of Cry2Aa. Using optimizations studies, 1A10-mAb was used as a capture antibody and pAbs as detection antibody. Double antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (DAS-ELISAs) were established for Cry1 toxin, Cry2Ab and Cry3Aa with the limit of detection (LOD) values of 2.36-36.37 ng/mL, respectively. The present DAS-ELISAs had good accuracy and precisions for the determination of Cry toxin spiked tap water, corn, rice, soybeans and soil samples. In conclusion, the present study has successfully obtained broad-spectrum pAbs and mAb. Furthermore, the generated pAbs- and mAb-based DAS-ELISAs protocol can potentially be used for the broad-spectrum monitoring of eight common subtypes of Bt Cry toxins residues in food and environmental samples.

Biomed Pharmacother 2024; 175:116782. [PMID: 38776682 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2024.116782] [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: 04/05/2024] [Revised: 05/08/2024] [Accepted: 05/17/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024] Open
Abstract
LAG3 is an inhibitory immune checkpoint expressed on activated T and NK cells. Blocking the interaction of LAG3 with its ligands MHC-II and FGL1 renders T cells improved cytotoxicity to cancer cells. Current study generated a panel of LAG3 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) through immunization of mice followed by phage display. Some of them bound to the D1-D2 domain of LAG3, which is known for the engagement of its ligands FGL1 and MHC-II. Three outperformers, M208, M226, and M234, showed stronger blocking activity than Relatlimab in the FGL1 binding. Furthermore, M234 showed dual inhibition of FGL1 (IC50 of 20.6 nM) and MHC-II binding (IC50 of 6.2 nM) to LAG3. In vitro functional tests showed that M234 significantly stimulated IFN-γ secretion from activated PBMC cells. In vivo studies in a mouse model of hepatocellular carcinoma xenografts demonstrated that combining M234 IgG with GPC3-targeted bispecific antibodies significantly improved efficacy. In addition, GPC3-targeted CAR-T cells secreting IL-21-M234 scFv fusion protein exhibited enhanced activity in inhibiting tumor growth and greatly increased the survival rate of mice. Taken together, M234 has potential in cancer immunotherapy and warrants further clinical trial.

Computational design of novel nanobodies targeting the receptor binding domain of variants of concern of SARS-CoV-2. PLoS One 2023; 18:e0293263.

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has created an urgent need for effective therapeutic and diagnostic strategies to manage the disease caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). However, the emergence of numerous variants of concern (VOCs) has made it challenging to develop targeted therapies that are broadly specific in neutralizing the virus. In this study, we aimed to develop neutralizing nanobodies (Nbs) using computational techniques that can effectively neutralize the receptor-binding domain (RBD) of SARS-CoV-2 VOCs. We evaluated the performance of different protein-protein docking programs and identified HDOCK as the most suitable program for Nb/RBD docking with high accuracy. Using this approach, we designed 14 novel Nbs with high binding affinity to the VOC RBDs. The Nbs were engineered with mutated amino acids that interacted with key amino acids of the RBDs, resulting in higher binding affinity than human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) and other viral RBDs or haemagglutinins (HAs). The successful development of these Nbs demonstrates the potential of molecular modeling as a low-cost and time-efficient method for engineering effective Nbs against SARS-CoV-2. The engineered Nbs have the potential to be employed in RBD-neutralizing assays, facilitating the identification of novel treatment, prevention, and diagnostic strategies against SARS-CoV-2.

Abstract
EGFRvⅢ is an established target for immunotherapy of glioblastoma (GBM). Current study aims to explore the efficacy of EGFRvⅢ-targeted immunotoxin combined with temozolomide (TMZ) or T cell-engaged bispecific antibody for the treatment of GBM. We generated three rabbit monoclonal antibodies (R1, R2, and R6) that specifically bound to EGFRvⅢ, but not EGFR, with high affinity. Immunotoxins were made by fusing the scFv of these antibodies with engineered Pseudomonas exotoxin PE24. The in vitro cytotoxicity and specificity of the immunotoxins was rigorously validated by EGFRvⅢ and EGFR-expressed cell lines. The in vivo efficacy of immunotoxin monotherapy and in combination with TMZ or EGFRvⅢ-targeted bispecific antibody was evaluated in orthotopic and subcutaneous xenograft mouse models. EGFRvⅢ immunotoxins potently killed U87, U251 and GL261 cells that were forcefully expressing EGFRvⅢ, with IC50 values bellow 1.2 ng/ml. In a subcutaneous model, multiple intratumoral injections of immunotoxin at a dose of 2 mg/kg resulted in complete tumor regression in 3/5 of mice. In a C57BL/6 orthotopic glioblastoma model transplanted with GL261 cells that expressed a mouse version of EGFRvⅢ, two injections of 10 micrograms of immunotoxin in the lateral ventricles significantly improved the survival, with 2/5 mice being completely cured. Furthermore, in a subcutaneous xenograft model transplanted with EGFRvⅢ-expressed U87 cells, a single intratumoral injection of immuntoxin followed by i.v. injections of TMZ or EGFRvⅢ-targeted bispecific antibody achieved complete regression in mice. Taken together, EGFRvⅢ immunotoxin combined with TMZ or T cell-engaged bispecific antibody offers promise for curative treatment of GBM.

Abstract
Immunoassays are reliable, efficient, and accurate methods for the analysis of small-molecule harmful substances (such as pesticides, veterinary drugs, and biological toxins) that may be present in food. However, traditional polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies are limited by animal hosts and hinder further development of immunoassays. With the gradual application of phage display technology as an efficient in vitro selection technology, the single-chain fragment variable (scFv) now provides an exciting alternative to traditional antibodies. Efficiently constructed scFv source libraries and specifically designed biopanning schemes can now yield scFvs possessing specific recognition capabilities. A rational mutation strategy further enhances the affinity of scFv, and allows it to reach a level that cannot be achieved by immunization. Finally, appropriate prokaryotic expression measures ensure stable and efficient production of scFv. Therefore, when developing excellent scFvs, it is necessary to focus on three key aspects of this process that include screening, mutation, and expression. In this review, we analyze in detail the preparation and affinity improvement process for scFv and provide insights into the research progress and development trend of scFv-based immunoassay methods for monitoring small-molecule harmful substances.

Abstract
Increasing global warming and eutrophication have led to frequent outbreaks of cyanobacteria blooms in freshwater. Cyanobacteria blooms cause the death of aquatic and terrestrial organisms and have attracted considerable attention since the 19th century. Microcystin-LR (MC-LR) is one of the most typical cyanobacterial toxins. Therefore, the fast, sensitive, and accurate determination of MC-LR plays an important role in the health of humans and animals. Immunoassay refers to a method that uses the principle of immunology to determine the content of the tested substance in a sample using the tested substance as an antigen or antibody. In analytical applications, the immunoassay technology could use the specific recognition of antibodies for MC-LR detection. In this review, we firstly highlight the immunoassay detection of MC-LR over the past two decades, including classical enzyme-link immunosorbent assay (ELISA), modern immunoassay with optical signal, and modern immunoassay with electrical signal. Among these detection methods, the water environment was used as the main detection system. The advantages and disadvantages of the different detection methods were compared and analyzed, and the principles and applications of immunoassays in water samples were elaborated. Furthermore, the current challenges and developmental trends in immunoassay were systematically introduced to enhance MC-LR detection performance, and some critical points were given to deal with current challenges. This review provides novel insight into MC-LR detection based on immunoassay method.

Abstract
An immunized mouse phage display scFv library with a capacity of 3.34 × 109 CFU/mL was constructed and used for screening of recombinant anti-ciprofloxacin single-chain antibody for the detection of ciprofloxacin (CIP) in animal-derived food. After four rounds of bio-panning, 25 positives were isolated and identified successfully. The highest positive scFv-22 was expressed in E. coli BL21. Then, its recognition mechanisms were studied using the molecular docking method. The result showed the amino acid residue Val160 was the key residue for the binding of scFv to CIP. Based on the results of virtual mutation, the scFv antibody was evolved by directional mutagenesis of contact amino acid residue Val160 to Ser. After the expression and purification, an indirect competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (IC-ELISA) based on the parental and mutant scFv was established for CIP, respectively. The IC50 value of the assay established with the ScFv mutant was 1.58 ng/mL, while the parental scFv was 26.23 ng/mL; this result showed highly increased affinity, with up to 16.6-fold improved sensitivity. The mean recovery for CIP ranged from 73.80% to 123.35%, with 10.46% relative standard deviation between the intra-assay and the inter-assay. The RSD values ranged between 1.49% and 9.81%. The results indicate that we obtained a highly sensitive anti-CIP scFv by the phage library construction and directional evolution, and the scFv-based IC-ELISA is suitable for the detection of CIP residue in animal-derived edible tissues.

Abstract
Antibodies are essential molecules for diagnosis and treatment of diseases caused by pathogens and their toxins. Antibodies were integrated in our medical repertoire against infectious diseases more than hundred years ago by using animal sera to treat tetanus and diphtheria. In these days, most developed therapeutic antibodies target cancer or autoimmune diseases. The COVID-19 pandemic was a reminder about the importance of antibodies for therapy against infectious diseases. While monoclonal antibodies could be generated by hybridoma technology since the 70ies of the former century, nowadays antibody phage display, among other display technologies, is robustly established to discover new human monoclonal antibodies. Phage display is an in vitro technology which confers the potential for generating antibodies from universal libraries against any conceivable molecule of sufficient size and omits the limitations of the immune systems. If convalescent patients or immunized/infected animals are available, it is possible to construct immune phage display libraries to select in vivo affinity-matured antibodies. A further advantage is the availability of the DNA sequence encoding the phage displayed antibody fragment, which is packaged in the phage particles. Therefore, the selected antibody fragments can be rapidly further engineered in any needed antibody format according to the requirements of the final application. In this review, we present an overview of phage display derived recombinant antibodies against bacterial, viral and eukaryotic pathogens, as well as microbial toxins, intended for diagnostic and therapeutic applications.

Protein Expr Purif 2021; 182:105841. [PMID: 33582290 DOI: 10.1016/j.pep.2021.105841] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/17/2020] [Revised: 02/04/2021] [Accepted: 02/06/2021] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
N- glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc) is a type of sialic acid, it can be synthesized by a range of mammals except chickens and healthy human. After entering human body, Neu5Gc in foods such as red meat and milk can cause chronic inflammation, thus promoting the development of cancer and related diseases. In this study, we identified a gene sequence of Neu5Gc-specific single-chain variable fragment (ScFv) by phage display from a primary chicken antibodies library. Then the gene sequence was used to express a 29 kDa anti-Neu5Gc ScFv protein as detection probe in competitive inhibition ELISA (IC-ELISA). The linear regression equation of the IC-ELISA was y = 23.12x+33.19 (R = 0.980), and the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) and the limit of detection (LOD) was 5.333 and 0.66 μg/mL. The mean recovery of the spiked samples was 83.04%, and the intra-assay and inter-assay coefficients of variation (CVs) were both 5.59%. The results suggested that the specific anti-Neu5Gc ScFv is a promising probe for the development of IC-ELISA and test strip in order to detect the presence of Neu5Gc in red meat, milk, and tumor tissues.

Abstract
We describe surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) aptasensors that can indirectly detect MC-LR and MC-RR, individually or simultaneously, in natural water and in algal culture. The sensor is constructed from nanoparticles composed of successive layers of Au core-SERS label-silver shell-gold shell (Au@label@Ag@Au NPs), functionalized on the outer Au surface by MC-LR and/or MC-RR aptamers. These NPs are immobilized on asymmetric Au nanoflowers (AuNFs) dispersed on planar silicon substrates through DNA hybridization of the aptamers and capture DNA sequences with which the AuNFs are functionalized, thereby forming core-satellite nanostructures on the substrates. This construction led to greater electromagnetic (EM) field enhancement of the Raman label-modified region, as supported by finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulations of the core-satellite assembly. In the presence of MC-LR and/or MC-RR, the aptamer-functionalized NPs dissociate from the AuNFs because of the stronger affinity of the aptamers with the MCs, which decreases the SERS signal, thus allowing indirect detection of the MCs. The improved SERS sensitivity significantly decreased the limit of detection (LOD) for separate MC-LR detection (0.8 pM) and for multiplex detection (1.5 pM for MC-LR and 1.3 pM for MC-RR), compared with other recently reported SERS-based methods for MC-LR detection. The aptasensors show excellent selectivity to MC-LR/MC-RR and excellent recoveries (96-105%). The use of these SERS aptasensors to monitor MC-LR production over 1 week in a culture medium of M. aeruginosa cells demonstrates the applicability of the sensors in a realistic environment.

Abstract
Cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (CyanoHABs) produce microcystins (MCs) which are associated with animal and human hepatotoxicity. Over 270 variants of MC exist. MCs have been continually studied due of their toxic consequences. Monitoring water quality to assess the presence of MCs is of utmost importance although it is often difficult because CyanoHABs may generate multiple MC variants, and their low concentration in water. To effectively manage and control these toxins and prevent their health risks, sensitive, fast, and reliable methods capable of detecting MCs are required. This paper aims to review the three main analytical methods used to detect MCs ranging from biological (mouse bioassay), biochemical (protein phosphatase inhibition assay and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay), and chemical (high performance liquid chromatography, liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, high performance capillary electrophoresis, and gas chromatography), as well as the newly emerging biosensor methods. In addition, the current state of these methods regarding their novel development and usage, as well as merits and limitations are presented. Finally, this paper also provides recommendations and future research directions towards method application and improvement.

Construction and characterization of a class-specific single-chain variable fragment against pyrethroid metabolites. Appl Microbiol Biotechnol 2020; 104:7345-7354.

Abstract
Pyrethroids are insecticides that are widely used in rural and urban areas worldwide. After entering the environment, pyrethroids are rapidly metabolized or degraded by various biological or abiotic methods. In this study, a single-chain variable fragment (scFv) which could simultaneously detect three pyrethroid metabolites was constructed based on a hybridoma raised against 3-phenoxybenzoic acid (3-PBA). By molecular docking, it showed that there were hydrogen bonds, hydrophobic interactions, CH-π interaction, and cation-π interaction between 3-PBA and its scFv. All the contact residues contributing to hydrogen bonds are located in VH-CDR2 or its neighboring region, and two of them were mutants of the closest germline sequence. Based on competitive ELISA, the half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of the scFv for 3-PBA, 3-phenoxybenzaldehyde (PBAld), and 3-phenoxybenzyl alcohol (PBAlc) were calculated to be 0.55, 0.59, and 0.63 μgmL-1, respectively. The scFv also showed 23.91%, 13.41%, 1.15%, 1.00%, and 0.56% cross-reactivity with phenothrin, deltamethrin, fenvalerate, beta-cypermethrin, and fenpropathrin. The broad specificity of the scFv may be due to its hapten design. The scFv could be employed in class-specific immunoassays for pyrethroid metabolites with phenoxybenzyl (PB) group. It is also potentially used for characterizing degradation of pyrethroids or detecting PBAlc (PBAld) alone, and the detection results should be confirmed by other selective methods. KEY POINTS: • A scFv which can simultaneously detect 3-PBA, PBAlc, and PBAld was constructed. • Antibody informatics and binding mode of the scFv were obtained. • The reason for its broad specificity was discussed. • It could be used to monitor single or multi-pyrethroid metabolites with PB group.

Abstract
Phages are bacterial viruses that have gained a significant role in biotechnology owing to their widely studied biology and many advantageous characteristics. Perhaps the best-known application of phages is phage display that refers to the expression of foreign peptides or proteins outside the phage virion as a fusion with one of the phage coat proteins. In 2018, one half of the Nobel prize in chemistry was awarded jointly to George P. Smith and Sir Gregory P. Winter "for the phage display of peptides and antibodies." The outstanding technology has evolved and developed considerably since its first description in 1985, and today phage display is commonly used in a wide variety of disciplines, including drug discovery, enzyme optimization, biomolecular interaction studies, as well as biosensor development. A cornerstone of all biosensors, regardless of the sensor platform or transduction scheme used, is a sensitive and selective bioreceptor, or a recognition element, that can provide specific binding to the target analyte. Many environmentally or pharmacologically interesting target analytes might not have naturally appropriate binding partners for biosensor development, but phage display can facilitate the production of novel receptors beyond known biomolecular interactions, or against toxic or nonimmunogenic targets, making the technology a valuable tool in the quest of new recognition elements for biosensor development.

Abstract
Cry2A is widely used in transgenic crops in combination with Cry1A toxins. The sensitive and robust detection of Cry2A toxin in food and the environment is necessary to monitor the safety of biopesticides. Here, we describe an approach that involves the use of phage-displayed peptide for the detection of Cry2Ad2-3-the main area of Cry2Ad2 insecticidal activity. After four rounds of panning, six positive monoclonal phage particles were obtained. Pep5 with a sequence of ACSYNHNSKCGGG displayed low cross-reactivity with other Cry toxins. The working range of detection for Cry2Ad2-3 toxin standards in the brush border membrane vesicle (BBMV)-peptide sandwich ELISA was 10-50.625 ng mL-1 and the detection limit (LOD) was 8 ng mL-1. Molecular insight into the interaction of pep5 with Cry2Ad2-3 was gleaned using homology modeling and docking. Molecular docking results showed that high-affinity peptide tended to dock in the groove between the two domains of Cry2Ad2-3. The interactions within the toxin-pep5 complex were due to hydrogen bond and hydrophobic interaction. Pep5 also lead us to trap the binding region. Therefore, peptides may be a cost-efficient alternative for detecting Cry toxins and studying their mechanisms.
