Altendorf T, Mohrlüder J, Willbold D. TSAT: Efficient evaluation software for NGS data of phage/mirror-image phage display selections. BIOPHYSICAL REPORTS 2024; 4:100166. [PMID: 38909902 PMCID: PMC11269273 DOI: 10.1016/j.bpr.2024.100166] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/30/2024] [Revised: 05/31/2024] [Accepted: 06/20/2024] [Indexed: 06/25/2024]
Abstract
Phage display and mirror-image phage display are commonly used techniques for the identification of binders that are specific to predefined targets. Recent studies demonstrated the effectiveness of next-generation sequencing (NGS) by increasing the amount of information extracted from selections. This allows for a better analysis and increases the possibility to select effective binders. A potential downside to NGS analysis of phage display selections is the increased workload that is needed to analyze the obtained information. Here, we report on the development of TSAT (target-specific analysis tool), software for user-friendly and efficient analysis of peptide sequence data from NGS of phage display selections.

Anal Bioanal Chem 2024:10.1007/s00216-024-05241-9.

Abstract
Deoxynivalenol (DON) is a mycotoxin that widely distributes in various foods and seriously threatens food safety. To minimize the consumers' dietary exposure to DON, there is an urgent demand for developing rapid and sensitive detection methods for DON in food. In this study, a bifunctional single-chain variable fragment (scFv) linked alkaline phosphatase (ALP) fusion protein was developed for rapid and sensitive detection of deoxynivalenol (DON). The scFv gene was chemically synthesized and cloned into the expression vector pET25b containing the ALP gene by homologous recombination. The prokaryotic expression, purification, and activity analysis of fusion proteins (scFv-ALP and ALP-scFv) were well characterized and performed. The interactions between scFv and DON were investigated by computer-assisted simulation, which included hydrogen bonds, hydrophobic interactions, and van der Waals forces. The scFv-ALP which showed better bifunctional activity was selected for developing a direct competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (dc-ELISA) for DON in cereals. The dc-ELISA takes 90 min for one test and exhibits a half inhibitory concentration (IC50) of 11.72 ng/mL, of which the IC50 was 3.08-fold lower than that of the scFv-based dc-ELISA. The developed method showed high selectivity for DON, and good accuracy was obtained from the spike experiments. Furthermore, the detection results of actual cereal samples analyzed by the method correlated well with that determined by high-performance liquid chromatography (R2=0.97165). These results indicated that the scFv-ALP is a promising bifunctional probe for developing the one-step colorimetric immunoassay, providing a new strategy for rapid and sensitive detection of DON in cereals.

Generation of anti-idiotypic antibodies mimicking Cry2Aa toxin from an immunized mouse phage display library as potential insecticidal agents against Plutella xylostella. Biochem Biophys Res Commun 2024; 691:149308. [PMID: 38029542 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbrc.2023.149308] [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: 08/22/2023] [Revised: 11/18/2023] [Accepted: 11/20/2023] [Indexed: 12/01/2023]
Abstract
This study tried to generate anti-idiotypic antibodies (Ab2s) which mimic Cry2Aa toxin using a phage-display antibody library (2.8 × 107 CFU/mL). The latter was constructed from a mouse immunized with F (ab')2 fragments digested from anti-Cry2Aa polyclonal antibodies. The F (ab')2 fragments and Plutella xylostella (P. xylostella) brush border membrane vesicles (BBMV) were utilized as targets for selection. Eight mouse phage-display single-chain variable fragments (scFvs) were isolated and identified by enzyme-linked immunoassay (ELISA), PCR and DNA sequencing after four rounds of biopanning. Among them, M3 exhibited the highest binding affinity with F (ab')2, while M4 bound the best with the toxin binding region of cadherin of P. xylostella (PxCad-TBR). Both of these two fragments were chosen for prokaryotic expression. The expressed M3 and M4 proteins with molecular weights of 30 kDa were purified. The M4 showed a binding affinity of 29.9 ± 2.4 nM with the PxCad-TBR and resulted in 27.8 ± 4.3 % larvae mortality against P. xylostella. Computer-assisted molecular modeling and docking analysis showed that mouse scFv M4 mimicked some Cry2Aa toxin binding sites when interacting with PxCad-TBR. Therefore, anti-idiotypic antibodies generated by BBMV-based screening could be useful for the development of new bio-insecticides as an alternative to Cry2Aa toxin for pest control.

Biomolecules 2023; 13:biom13030551. [PMID: 36979486 PMCID: PMC10046864 DOI: 10.3390/biom13030551] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/13/2023] [Revised: 03/01/2023] [Accepted: 03/16/2023] [Indexed: 03/30/2023] Open
Abstract
Vaccination against dengue virus is challenged by the fact that a generic immune response can induce antibody-dependent-enhancement (ADE) in secondary infections. Only some antibodies targeting a quaternary epitope formed by the dimerization of the virus protein E possess sufficient neutralizing capacity. Therefore, the immunization with anti-idiotypic antibodies of neutralizing antibodies might represent a safe vaccination strategy. Starting from a large pre-immune library, we succeeded in isolating a wide set of anti-idiotypic nanobodies characterized by selective and strong binding to the paratope of the neutralizing antibody 1C10. However, the mice immunized with such constructs did not produce effective antibodies, despite at least some of them eliciting an immune response selective for the nanobody variable regions. The results suggest that complex conformational epitopes might be difficult to be recreated by anti-idiotypic structures. The selection process of the anti-idiotypic candidates might be optimized by applying epitope mapping and modeling approaches aimed at identifying the key residues that is necessary to bind to trigger selective immune response.

Abstract
Anti-idiotypic antibodies (Ab2) are valuable tools that can be used for a better understanding of molecular mimicry and the immunological network. In this work, we showed a new application of a phage-displayed alpha-type Ab2 (Ab2α) to improve the sensitivity of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) detecting cyanobacterial toxin microcystin-LR (MC-LR). A monoclonal antibody (mAb) against MC-LR was used as an antigen to isolate binders in a camelid nanobody library. After three rounds of panning, three unique clones with strong binding against anti-MC-LR mAbs were isolated. These clones could specifically bind to anti-MC-LR mAbs without influencing mAbs binding with MC-LR, meaning these clones were Ab2αs. Based on the signal amplification effect of phage coat proteins and the non-competitive nature of Ab2α, a novel competitive ELISA method for MC-LR was established with a phage-displayed Ab2α. It showed that the phage-displayed Ab2α greatly enhanced the ELISA signal and sensitivity of the method was improved 3.5-fold to the conventional one. Combining with the optimization of pre-incubation time, the optimized ELISA decreased its limit of detection (LOD) from 4.5 ng/mL to 0.8 ng/mL (5.6-fold improvement). This new application of Ab2α may potentially be employed to improve the sensitivity of immunoassays for other environmental pollutants.

A Novel Cost-Effective Nanobody against Fumonisin B1 Contaminations: Efficacy Test in Dairy Milk and Chickens. Toxins (Basel) 2022; 14:toxins14120821. [PMID: 36548718 PMCID: PMC9788183 DOI: 10.3390/toxins14120821] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/16/2022] [Revised: 11/10/2022] [Accepted: 11/17/2022] [Indexed: 11/25/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Fumonisin B1 (FB1) is a secondary metabolite produced mainly by Fusarium verticillioides or Fusarium proliferatum. It poses a huge threat to the sustainable animal industry and human health as well via food chains (egg, meat and milk). Although E. coli-expressed nanobodies are documented for diagnostic applications, nanobodies remain elusive as FB1 detoxifiers in feed and food. RESULTS In the present study, the E. coli-expressed nanobody was assessed to remove FB1 in fresh milk, embryonated eggs and broilers. Firstly, 2 alpacas received intramuscularly FB1-adjuvanted BSA 6 times, and then the variable domain of the heavy-chain antibody (VHH) of fb1 genes were amplified to clone into the pCANTAB 5 E vector in order to generate a VHH-FB1 phage antibody display library, yielding 3.4 × 1010 capacity with 96.7% positivity. Afterwards, 5 anti-FB1 nanobodies were expressed and identified. Furthermore, maximal 43.2% FB1 was removed from milk by 1:2000 concentration of nanobody 5 (Nb5). Furthermore, SPF-embryonated eggs were inoculated into albumens with nanobody-treated FB1. The Nb5 group yielded an 83.3% hatching rate, higher body weight, lower gizzard ulceration and fewer FB1 residuals. In order to warrant the above results, 50 broilers aged 10 days were received orally with 20 ppm of FB1 for 20 days. At the same time, birds were fed orally with 50 μg of Nb5 or bivalent nanobody 11 (BiNb11). Finally, the Nb5 group showed a higher relative body weight gain and lower gastric ulcerations and fewer inflammations in the thymus and bursa. CONCLUSIONS Based on the above evidence, the Nb5 nanobody may be considered as an additional FB1 detoxifier, contributing to FB1 decontamination.

Abstract
Antibodies are highly potent therapeutic scaffolds with more than a hundred different products approved on the market. Successful development of antibody-based drugs requires a trade-off between high target specificity and target binding affinity. In order to better understand this problem, we here review non-specific interactions and explore their fundamental physicochemical origins. We discuss the role of surface patches - clusters of surface-exposed amino acid residues with similar physicochemical properties - as inducers of non-specific interactions. These patches collectively drive interactions including dipole-dipole, π-stacking and hydrophobic interactions to complementary moieties. We elucidate links between these supramolecular assembly processes and macroscopic development issues, such as decreased physical stability and poor in vivo half-life. Finally, we highlight challenges and opportunities for optimizing protein binding specificity and minimizing non-specificity for future generations of therapeutics.

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.
