Abstract
Conventional directed evolution methods offer the ability to select bioreceptors with high binding affinity for a specific target in terms of thermodynamic properties. However, there is a lack of analogous approaches for kinetic selection, which could yield affinity reagents that exhibit slow off-rates and thus remain tightly bound to targets for extended periods. Here, we describe an in vitro directed evolution methodology that uses the nuclease flap endonuclease 1 to achieve the efficient discovery of aptamers that have slow dissociation rates. Our nuclease-assisted selection strategy can yield specific aptamers for both small molecules and proteins with off-rates that are an order of magnitude slower relative to those obtained with conventional selection methods while still retaining excellent overall target affinity in terms of thermodynamics. This new methodology provides a generalizable approach for generating slow off-rate aptamers for diverse targets, which could, in turn, prove valuable for applications including molecular devices, bioimaging, and therapy.

Affinity purification of mAb from serum-containing hybridoma culture supernatant through a novel nanobody that discriminates mouse IgG from bovine IgG by recognizing the mouse kappa constant region (mCK). J Chromatogr A 2024; 1724:464929. [PMID: 38669942 DOI: 10.1016/j.chroma.2024.464929] [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: 10/30/2023] [Revised: 04/02/2024] [Accepted: 04/21/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024]
Abstract
When purifying mAb from serum-containing hybridoma culture supernatant, it is essential that mouse IgG remains free from contaminations of bovine IgG. However, the broadly used Protein A resin cannot achieve this goal due to binding between both mouse and bovine IgG. Here, a novel nanobody-based affinity purification magnetic beads that discriminates mouse IgG from bovine IgG was developed. To bind all subtypes of mouse IgG (IgG1, IgG2a, IgG2b and IgG3) that contain the kappa light chain, mCK (mouse kappa constant region)-specific nanobody binders were selected from an immune phage display VHH library; this library was constructed with peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), which were collected from Bactrian camels immunized with a mix of intact mouse IgGs (IgG1, IgG2a, IgG2b and IgG3). A novel clone that exhibited a higher expression level and a higher binding affinity was selected (4E6). Then, the 4E6 nanobody in the format of VHH-hFC (human Fc) was conjugated on magnetic beads with a maximal binding capacity of 15.41±0.69 mg mouse IgG/mL beads. Furthermore, no bovine IgG could be copurified from hybridoma culture supernatant with immunomagnetic beads. This approach is valuable for the large-scale in vitro production of highly pure antibodies by hybridoma cells.

Abstract
Chromatography is a robust and reliable separation method that can use various stationary phases to separate complex mixtures commonly seen in metabolomics. This review examines the types of chromatography and stationary phases that have been used in targeted or untargeted metabolomics with methods such as mass spectrometry (MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. General considerations for sample pretreatment and separations in metabolomics are considered, along with the various supports and separation formats for chromatography that have been used in such work. The types of liquid chromatography (LC) that have been most extensively used in metabolomics will be examined, such as reversed-phase liquid chromatography and hydrophilic liquid interaction chromatography. In addition, other forms of LC that have been used in more limited applications for metabolomics (e.g., ion-exchange, size-exclusion, and affinity methods) will be discussed to illustrate how these techniques may be utilized for new and future research in this field. Multidimensional LC methods are also discussed, as well as the use of gas chromatography and supercritical fluid chromatography in metabolomics. In addition, the roles of chromatography in NMR- vs. MS-based metabolomics are considered. Applications are given within the field of metabolomics for each type of chromatography, along with potential advantages or limitations of these separation methods.

Abstract
A matrix in highly complex samples can cause adverse effects on the trace analysis of targeted organic compounds. A suitable separation of the target analyte(s) and matrix before the instrumental analysis is often a vital step for which chromatographic cleanup methods remain one of the most frequently used strategies, particularly high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The lack of a simple real-time detection technique that can quantify the entirety of the matrix during this step, especially with gradient solvents, renders optimization of the cleanup challenging. This paper, along with a companion one, explores the possibilities and limitations of quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) dry-mass sensing for quantifying complex organic matrices during gradient HPLC. To this end, this work coupled a QCM and a microfluidic spray dryer with a commercial HPLC system using a flow splitter and developed a calibration and data processing strategy. The system was characterized in terms of detection and quantification limits, with LOD = 4.3-15 mg/L and LOQ = 16-52 mg/L, respectively, for different eluent compositions. Validation of natural organic matter in an environmental sample against offline total organic carbon analysis confirmed the approach's feasibility, with an absolute recovery of 103 ± 10%. Our findings suggest that QCM dry-mass sensing could serve as a valuable tool for analysts routinely employing HPLC cleanup methods, offering potential benefits across various analytical fields.

Abstract
Virus filtration is a crucial step in ensuring the high levels of viral clearance required in the production of biotherapeutics produced in mammalian cells or derived from human plasma. Previous studies have reported that virus retention is often reduced in the presence of therapeutic proteins due to membrane fouling; however, the underlying mechanisms controlling this behavior are still not well understood. Experimental studies were performed with a single layer of the commercially available dual-layer PegasusTM SV4 virus removal filter to more easily interpret the experimental results. Bacteriophage ФX174 was used as a model parvovirus, and human immunoglobulin (hIgG) and Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) were used as model proteins. Data obtained with 5 g/L solutions of hIgG showed more than a 100-fold reduction in virus retention compared to that in the protein-free solution. Similar effects were seen with membranes that were pre-fouled with hIgG and then challenged with ФX174. The experimental data were well-described using an internal polarization model that accounts for virus capture and accumulation within the virus filter, with the hIgG nearly eliminating the irreversible virus capture while also facilitating the release of previously captured virus. These results provide important insights into the performance and validation of virus removal filters in bioprocessing.

Abstract
Antibodies are a valuable research tool, with uses including detection and quantification of specific proteins. By using peptide fragments to raise antibodies, they can be designed to differentiate between structurally similar proteins, or to bind conserved motifs in divergent proteins. Peptide sequence selection and antibody validation are crucial to ensure reliable results from antibody-based experiments. This chapter describes the steps for the identification of peptide sequences to produce protein- or isoform-specific antibodies using recombinant technologies as well as the subsequent validation of such antibodies. The photosynthetic protein Rubisco activase is used as a case study to explain the various steps involved and key aspects to take into consideration.

Abstract
Lipoproteins in plasma are constituted by the least dense chylomicron, very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) that can be separated using commercially available medium such as iodixanol. Iodixanol constitutes the self-generated density gradient to fractionate lipoproteins by rapid ultracentrifugation method, replacing time-consuming protocols. Filling the centrifuge tubes is technically easier and faster than layering salt gradients and is reproducible. The separated lipoproteins by this method are closest to the native state with 80 to 100% recovery possible. Low-density lipoprotein is the major carrier of cholesterol in systemic circulation. The plasma isolated LDL is purified to be used as native LDL and for the preparation of oxidized LDL (oxLDL). The oxLDL is characterized for its oxidation, by various methods based on assay of the lipid and protein oxidation products such as TBARS, conjugated diene formation, and by other methods such as agarose gel electrophoresis. Rapid isolation of LDL particles from human plasma is useful for lipid peroxidation studies, characterization of subclass for functional studies and clinical correlation especially in cardiovascular diseases apart from lipidomic, and proteomic studies. OxLDL preparations are done in vitro chiefly based on copper-induced oxidation; glucose and other prooxidants. Which are used for various studies using animal model and in vitro cell models especially to understand macrophage-mediated atheroma formation, vascular endothelial cell dysfunction, cell signaling studies has scope for extensive research in metabolic dysfunction of various cells. This chapter deals with one of the applications in the in vitro cell models using macrophage (THP-1 cell line) and human retinal pigment epithelial cell (ARPE-19 cell line) to study the oxLDL uptake using fluorescently labeled oxidized LDL (DiI-oxLDL).

Abstract
We report on the development of a versatile and accurate bioanalytical method for bevacizumab using a pretreatment method combining affinity purification with anti-idiotypic DNA aptamers and centrifugal ultrafiltration concentration, followed by liquid chromatography (LC)-fluorescence analysis. An affinity purification method using Sepharose beads as an affinity support removed immunoglobulin G and a large amount of coexisting substances in the serum sample. Purified bevacizumab was separated as a single peak by conventional LC and detected fluorometrically, showing good linearity (R2 = 0.999) in the range of 5-200 μg/mL, sufficient to analyze bevacizumab concentrations in the blood of bevacizumab-treated patients. By combining this purification method with a concentration method using a centrifugal filtration device that inhibits non-specific adsorption of bevacizumab, the quantitative range was reduced by a factor of 10 while showing good linearity (R2 = 0.999) in the 0.5-20 μg/mL range. The developed analytical method is expected to be used not only for general bioanalysis of therapeutic mAbs in clinical settings, but also for next-generation antibody drugs that show drug efficacy at low concentrations and for analysis of trace samples.

Abstract
Troponin is the American College of Cardiology and American Heart Association preferred biomarker for diagnosing acute myocardial infarction (MI). We provide a modeling framework for high sensitivity cardiac Troponin I (hs-cTnI) detection in chromatographic immunoassays (flow displacement mode) with an analytical limit of detection, i.e., LOD < 10 ng/L. We show that each of the various control parameters exert a significant influence over the design requirements to reach the desired LOD. Additionally, the design implications in a multiplexed fluidic network, as in the case of Simple Plex™ Ella instrument, are significantly affected by the choice of the number of channels or partitions in the network. We also provide an upgrade on the existing LOD equation to evaluate the necessary minimum volume to detect a particular concentration by considering the effects of stochastics and directly incorporating the target number of copies in each of the partitions in case of multiplexed networks. Even though a special case of cTnI has been considered in this study, the model and analysis are analyte agnostic and may be applied to a wide class of chromatographic immunoassays. We believe that this contribution will lead to more efficient designing of the immunochromatographic assays.

Abstract
Immunosorbent turnip vein clearing virus (TVCV) particles displaying the IgG-binding domains D and E of Staphylococcus aureus protein A (PA) on every coat protein (CP) subunit (TVCVPA) were purified from plants via optimized and new protocols. The latter used polyethylene glycol (PEG) raw precipitates, from which virions were selectively re-solubilized in reverse PEG concentration gradients. This procedure improved the integrity of both TVCVPA and the wild-type subgroup 3 tobamovirus. TVCVPA could be loaded with more than 500 IgGs per virion, which mediated the immunocapture of fluorescent dyes, GFP, and active enzymes. Bi-enzyme ensembles of cooperating glucose oxidase and horseradish peroxidase were tethered together on the TVCVPA carriers via a single antibody type, with one enzyme conjugated chemically to its Fc region, and the other one bound as a target, yielding synthetic multi-enzyme complexes. In microtiter plates, the TVCVPA-displayed sugar-sensing system possessed a considerably increased reusability upon repeated testing, compared to the IgG-bound enzyme pair in the absence of the virus. A high coverage of the viral adapters was also achieved on Ta2O5 sensor chip surfaces coated with a polyelectrolyte interlayer, as a prerequisite for durable TVCVPA-assisted electrochemical biosensing via modularly IgG-assembled sensor enzymes.

Abstract
Immunoaffinity chromatography (IAC) is a type of liquid chromatography that uses immobilized antibodies or related binding agents as selective stationary phases for sample separation or analysis. The strong binding and high selectivity of antibodies have made IAC a popular tool for the purification and analysis of many chemicals and biochemicals, including proteins. The basic principles of IAC are described as related to the use of this method for protein purification and analysis. The main factors to consider in this technique are also presented under a discussion of the general strategy to follow during the development of a new IAC method. Protocols, as illustrated using human serum albumin (HSA) as a model protein, are provided for the use of IAC in several formats. This includes both the use of IAC with traditional low-performance supports such as agarose for off-line immunoextraction and supports used in high-performance IAC for on-line immunoextraction. The use of IAC for protein analysis as a flow-based or chromatographic immunoassay is also discussed and described using HSA and a competitive binding assay format as an example. © 2023 Wiley Periodicals LLC.

Guzman NA, Guzman DE, Blanc T. Advancements in portable instruments based on affinity-capture-migration and affinity-capture-separation for use in clinical testing and life science applications. J Chromatogr A 2023; 1704:464109. [PMID: 37315445 DOI: 10.1016/j.chroma.2023.464109] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/01/2023] [Revised: 05/23/2023] [Accepted: 05/25/2023] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
The shift from testing at centralized diagnostic laboratories to remote locations is being driven by the development of point-of-care (POC) instruments and represents a transformative moment in medicine. POC instruments address the need for rapid results that can inform faster therapeutic decisions and interventions. These instruments are especially valuable in the field, such as in an ambulance, or in remote and rural locations. The development of telehealth, enabled by advancements in digital technologies like smartphones and cloud computing, is also aiding in this evolution, allowing medical professionals to provide care remotely, potentially reducing healthcare costs and improving patient longevity. One notable POC device is the lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA), which played a major role in addressing the COVID-19 pandemic due to its ease of use, rapid analysis time, and low cost. However, LFIA tests exhibit relatively low analytical sensitivity and provide semi-quantitative information, indicating either a positive, negative, or inconclusive result, which can be attributed to its one-dimensional format. Immunoaffinity capillary electrophoresis (IACE), on the other hand, offers a two-dimensional format that includes an affinity-capture step of one or more matrix constituents followed by release and electrophoretic separation. The method provides greater analytical sensitivity, and quantitative information, thereby reducing the rate of false positives, false negatives, and inconclusive results. Combining LFIA and IACE technologies can thus provide an effective and economical solution for screening, confirming results, and monitoring patient progress, representing a key strategy in advancing diagnostics in healthcare.

Lioi M, Tengattini S, Bagatin F, Galliani S, Daly S, Massolini G, Temporini C. Development of a rapid, efficient, and reusable magnetic bead-based immunocapture system for recombinant human procollagen type II isolation from yeast fermentation broth. Anal Bioanal Chem 2023:10.1007/s00216-023-04752-1. [PMID: 37246979 DOI: 10.1007/s00216-023-04752-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/16/2023] [Revised: 05/04/2023] [Accepted: 05/05/2023] [Indexed: 05/30/2023]
Abstract
Recombinant collagen production, especially using yeasts as expression systems, could represent a promising alternative over traditional extractive methods from animal sources, offering controllable, scalable, and high-quality products. Monitoring the efficiency and efficacy of procollagen/collagen expression, especially in the initial fermentation phases, can be difficult and time consuming, as biological matrices necessitate purification and commonly used analytical methods are only partially informative. We propose a straightforward, efficient, and reusable immunocapture system able to specifically isolate human procollagen type II from fermentation broths and to release it in few experimental steps. A recovered sample allows for a detailed characterization providing information on structural identity and integrity, which can strongly support the monitoring of fermentation processes. The immunocapture system relies on the use of protein A-coated magnetic beads which have been functionalized and cross-linked with a human anti-procollagen II antibody (average immobilization yield of 97.7%) to create a stable and reusable support for the specific procollagen fishing. We set up the binding and release conditions ensuring specific and reproducible binding with a synthetic procollagen antigen. The absence of non-specific interaction with the support and binding specificity was demonstrated, and the latter was also confirmed by a peptide mapping epitope study in reversed-phase liquid chromatography high-resolution mass spectrometry (RP-LC-HRMS). The bio-activated support proved to be reusable and stable over 21 days from the initial use. Finally, the system was successfully tested on a raw yeast fermentation sample to provide a proof of concept of the applicability within recombinant collagen production.

Abstract
Protein biomarkers have been the subject of intensive studies as a target for disease diagnostics and monitoring. Indeed, biomarkers have been extensively used for personalized medicine. In biological samples, these biomarkers are most often present in low concentrations masked by a biologically complex proteome (e.g., blood) making their detection difficult. This complexity is further increased by the needs to detect proteoforms and proteome complexity such as the dynamic range of compound concentrations. The development of techniques that simultaneously pre-concentrate and identify low-abundance biomarkers in these proteomes constitutes an avant-garde approach to the early detection of pathologies. Chromatographic-based methods are widely used for protein separation, but these methods are not adapted for biomarker discovery, as they require complex sample handling due to the low biomarker concentration. Therefore, microfluidics devices have emerged as a technology to overcome these shortcomings. In terms of detection, mass spectrometry (MS) is the standard analytical tool given its high sensitivity and specificity. However, for MS, the biomarker must be introduced as pure as possible in order to avoid chemical noise and improve sensitivity. As a result, microfluidics coupled with MS has become increasingly popular in the field of biomarker discovery. This review will show the different approaches to protein enrichment using miniaturized devices and the importance of their coupling with MS.

Abstract
The use of viral vectors as therapeutic products for multiple applications such as vaccines, cancer treatment, or gene therapies, has been growing exponentially. Therefore, improved manufacturing processes are needed to cope with the high number of functional particles required for clinical trials and, eventually, commercialization. Affinity chromatography (AC) can be used to simplify purification processes and generate clinical-grade products with high titer and purity. However, one of the major challenges in the purification of Lentiviral vectors (LVs) using AC is to combine a highly specific ligand with a gentle elution condition assuring the preservation of vector biological activity. In this work, we report for the first time the implementation of an AC resin to specifically purify VSV-G pseudotyped LVs. After ligand screening, different critical process parameters were assessed and optimized. A dynamic capacity of 1 × 1011 total particles per mL of resin was determined and an average recovery yield of 45% was found for the small-scale purification process. The established AC robustness was confirmed by the performance of an intermediate scale providing an infectious particles yield of 54%, which demonstrates the scalability and reproducibility of the AC matrix. Overall, this work contributes to increasing downstream process efficiency by delivering a purification technology that enables high purity, scalability, and process intensification in a single step, contributing to time-to-market reduction.

Abstract
From modular vaccine production to protein assembly on nanoparticles, the SpyCatcher/SpyTag system provides a convenient plug-and-display procedure. Here, we established a general-purpose immunoaffinity chromatography (IAC) method for SpyTagged proteins (Spy&IAC). SpyTags are displayed on the surface of nanoparticles to induce high-affinity monoclonal antibodies, allowing the specific capture of the target protein. Taking the key core antigenic regions of two coronaviruses that are currently more threatened in the field of human and animal diseases, the nucleocapsid (N) protein of SARS-CoV-2 and the COE protein of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) as model proteins, a purification model with SpyTag at the N-terminal or C-terminal expressed in E. coli or mammalian cells was constructed. After the efficient elution of Spy&IAC, the final yield of several proteins is about 3.5-15 mg/L culture, and the protein purity is above 90 %. Purification also preserves the assembly function and immunogenicity of the protein to support subsequent modular assembly and immunization programs. This strategy provides a general tool for the efficient purification of SpyTagged proteins from different expression sources and different tag positions, enabling the production of modular vaccines at lower cost and in a shorter time, which will prepare the public health field for potential pandemic threats.

Abstract
Self-cleaving affinity tags, based on engineered intein protein domains, have been touted as a universal single step purification platform for tagless non-mAb proteins. These approaches provide all of the power and flexibility of tag-based affinity methods, but deliver a tagless target protein suitable for clinical applications without complex process development. This combination of features might accelerate and de-risk biopharmaceutical development by bridging early discovery to full-scale manufacturing under a single platform. Despite this profound promise, intein-based technologies have yet to reach their full potential. This review examines the evolution of intein-based purification methods in the light of several significant intein patents filed over the last 3 decades. Illustrated with actual key figures from each of the relevant patents, key advances are described with a focus on applications in basic research and biopharmaceutical production. Suggestions for extending intein-based purification systems to emerging therapies and non-protein applications are presented as concluding remarks.

Abstract
In this study, a type of magnetic photoaffinity-labeled activity-based protein profiling probe for sulfonamide drugs was first synthesized for the purpose of capturing the natural dihydropteroate synthase of Escherichia coli by using simple incubation and magnetic separation. After characterization of its identity with LC-ESI-MS/MS, this enzyme was used as a recognition reagent to develop a direct competitive pseudo-ELISA for the determination of the residues of 40 sulfonamides in pork. Because of the use of streptavidin-horseradish peroxidase and biotinylated horseradish peroxidase as a signal-amplified system, the limits of detection for the 40 drugs were in the range of 0.001-0.016 ng/mL. Compared to the steps in a conventional assay formation, the operation steps were the same, but the sensitivities increased 32-88-fold. Furthermore, the assay performances were better than the previously reported immunoassays performances for sulfonamides. Therefore, this method could be used as a practical tool for multiscreening the trace levels of sulfonamides residues in food samples.

Abstract
The presentation of neoantigens on the cell membrane is the foundation for most cancer immunotherapies. Due to their extremely low abundance, analyzing neoantigens in clinical samples is technically difficult, hindering the development of neoantigen-based therapeutics for more general use in the treatment of diverse cancers worldwide. Here, we describe an integrated system, "Valid-NEO", which reveals patient-specific cancer neoantigen therapeutic targets from minute amounts of clinical samples through direct observation, without computer-based prediction, in a sensitive, rapid, and reproducible manner. The overall four-hour procedure involves mass spectrometry analysis of neoantigens purified from tumor samples through recovery of HLA molecules with HLA antibodies. Valid-NEO could be applicable to the identification and quantification of presented neoantigens in cancer patients, particularly when only limited amounts of sample are available.

Abstract
Advances in cancer research over the past half-century have clearly determined the molecular origins of the disease. Central to the use of molecular signatures for continued progress, including rapid, reliable, and early diagnosis is the use of biomarkers. Specifically, extracellular vesicles as biomarker cargo holders have generated significant interest. However, the isolation, purification, and subsequent analysis of these extracellular vesicles remain a challenge. Technological advances driven by microfluidics-enabled devices have made the challenges for isolation of extracellular vesicles an emerging area of research with significant possibilities for use in clinical settings enabling point-of-care diagnostics for cancer. In this article, we present a tutorial review of the existing microfluidic technologies for cancer diagnostics with a focus on extracellular vesicle isolation methods.

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic response has shown how vaccine platform technologies can be used to rapidly and effectively counteract a novel emerging infectious disease. The speed of development for mRNA and vector-based vaccines outpaced those of subunit vaccines, however, subunit vaccines can offer advantages in terms of safety and stability. Here we describe a subunit vaccine platform technology, the molecular clamp, in application to four viruses from divergent taxonomic families: Middle Eastern respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV), Ebola virus (EBOV), Lassa virus (LASV) and Nipah virus (NiV). The clamp streamlines subunit antigen production by both stabilising the immunologically important prefusion epitopes of trimeric viral fusion proteins while enabling purification without target-specific reagents by acting as an affinity tag. Conformations for each viral antigen were confirmed by monoclonal antibody binding, size exclusion chromatography and electron microscopy. Notably, all four antigens tested remained stable over four weeks of incubation at 40°C. Of the four vaccines tested, a neutralising immune response was stimulated by clamp stabilised MERS-CoV spike, EBOV glycoprotein and NiV fusion protein. Only the clamp stabilised LASV glycoprotein precursor failed to elicit virus neutralising antibodies. MERS-CoV and EBOV vaccine candidates were both tested in animal models and found to provide protection against viral challenge.

Abstract
Anabolic-androgenic steroids (AASs), a group of compounds frequently misused by athletes and, unfortunately, also by the general population, have lately attracted global attention; thus, significant demands for more precise, facile, and rapid AAS detection have arisen. The standard methods ordinarily used for AAS determination include liquid and gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry. However, good knowledge of steroid metabolism, pretreatment of samples (such as derivatization), and well-trained operators of the instruments are required, making this procedure expensive, complicated, and not routinely applicable. In the drive to meet current AAS detection demands, the scientific focus has shifted to developing novel, tailor-made approaches leading to time- and cost-effective, routine, and field-portable methods for AAS determination in various matrices, such as biological fluids, food supplements, meat, water, or other environmental components. Therefore, herein, we present a comprehensive review article covering recent advances in AAS determination, with a strong emphasis on the increasingly important role of chemically designed artificial sensors, biosensors, and antibody- and fluorescence-based methods.

Toxicological Evaluation of a Probiotic-Based Delivery System for P8 Protein as an Anti-Colorectal Cancer Drug. Drug Des Devel Ther 2021; 15:4761-4793. [PMID: 34866901 PMCID: PMC8637785 DOI: 10.2147/dddt.s319930] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/06/2021] [Accepted: 10/23/2021] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose This study aimed to toxicological evaluate a probiotics-based delivery system for p8 protein as an anti-colorectal cancer drug. Introduction Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) have been widely ingested for many years and are regarded as very safe. Recently, a Pediococcus pentosaceus SL4 (PP) strain that secretes the probiotic-derived anti-cancer protein P8 (PP-P8) has been developed as an anti-colorectal cancer (CRC) biologic by Cell Biotech. We initially identified a Lactobacillus rhamnosus (LR)-derived anti-cancer protein, P8, that suppresses CRC growth. We also showed that P8 penetrates specifically into CRC cells (DLD-1 cells) through endocytosis. We then confirmed the efficacy of PP-P8, showing that oral administration of this agent significantly decreased tumor mass (~42%) relative to controls in a mouse CRC xenograft model. In terms of molecular mechanism, PP-P8 induces cell-cycle arrest in G2 phase through down-regulation of Cyclin B1 and Cdk1. In this study, we performed in vivo toxicology profiling to obtain evidence that PP-P8 is safe, with the goal of receiving approval for an investigational new drug application (IND). Methods Based on gene therapy guidelines of the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) of Korea, the potential undesirable effects of PP-P8 had to be investigated in intact small rodent or marmoset models prior to first-in-human (FIH) administration. The estimated doses of PP-P8 for FIH are 1.0×1010 – 1.0×1011 CFU/person (60 kg). Therefore, to perform toxicological investigations in non-clinical animal models, we orally administered PP-P8 at doses of 3.375 × 1011, 6.75 × 1011, and 13.5×1011 CFU/kg/day; thus the maximum dose was 800–8000-fold higher than the estimated dose for FIH. Results In our animal models, we observed no adverse effects of PP-P8 on clinicopathologic findings, relative organ weight, or tissue pathology. In addition, we observed no inflammation or ulceration during pathological necropsy. Conclusion These non-clinical toxicology studies could be used to furnish valuable data for the safety certification of PP-P8.

Abstract
Host cell proteins (HCPs) must be sufficiently cleared from recombinant biopharmaceuticals during the downstream process (DSP) to ensure product quality, purity, and patient safety. For monitoring of HCP clearance, the typical method chosen is an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using polyclonal anti-HCP antibodies obtained from an immunization campaign. This polyclonal reagent is a critical factor for functionality and confidence of the ELISA. Therefore, it is important to ensure that the pool of ELISA antibodies covers a broad spectrum of the HCPs that potentially could persist in the final drug substance. Typically, coverage is determined by gel-based approaches. Here, we present a quantitative proteomics approach combined with purification of HCPs by immunoaffinity chromatography (qIAC-MS) for assessment of ELISA coverage. The cell culture fluid (CCF) of a mock fermentation and a recombinant monoclonal antibody product were characterized in detail to investigate whether the HCPs used for immunization of animals accurately represent HCPs that are relevant to the process. Using the qIAC-MS approach, the ELISA antibody coverage was determined for mock fermentation and product CCF, as well as several different DSP intermediates. Here, the use of different controls facilitated the identification and quantification of HCPs present in the polyclonal reagent and those that nonspecifically bound to IAC material. This study successfully demonstrates that the described qIAC-MS approach is not only a suitable orthogonal method to commonly used 2D SDS-PAGE-based analysis for evaluating ELISA antibody coverage, but that it further identifies HCPs covered as well as missed by the ELISA, enabling an improved risk assessment of HCP ELISA.

Abstract
Affinity monolith chromatography (AMC) is a liquid chromatographic technique that utilizes a monolithic support with a biological ligand or related binding agent to isolate, enrich, or detect a target analyte in a complex matrix. The target-specific interaction exhibited by the binding agents makes AMC attractive for the separation or detection of a wide range of compounds. This article will review the basic principles of AMC and recent developments in this field. The supports used in AMC will be discussed, including organic, inorganic, hybrid, carbohydrate, and cryogel monoliths. Schemes for attaching binding agents to these monoliths will be examined as well, such as covalent immobilization, biospecific adsorption, entrapment, molecular imprinting, and coordination methods. An overview will then be given of binding agents that have recently been used in AMC, along with their applications. These applications will include bioaffinity chromatography, immunoaffinity chromatography, immobilized metal-ion affinity chromatography, and dye-ligand or biomimetic affinity chromatography. The use of AMC in chiral separations and biointeraction studies will also be discussed.

Abstract
Antibody-functionalized gold nanoparticle constitutes a powerful interface biosystem for biomedical applications where the properties of gold nanoparticles and the specificity of antibody-antigen interactions are combined. This study provides insight into the key factors for the development of antibody functionalized gold nanoparticles focusing on the immobilization of the antibody. Here, we address an oriented antibody immobilization procedure on gold nanoparticles. It comprises chelatemodified gold nanoparticles that are designed for oriented immobilization of IgG antibodies (end on spatial orientation) through the metal-chelation to histidine-rich metal binding site in the heavy chain (Fc) of the antibody.

Abstract
Exosomes are membrane-based extracellular vesicles naturally released by the cells. Nano size range of exosomes and unique properties such as stability, biocompatibility and low immunogenicity are key parameters, which make them suitable as nanoparticulate drug delivery system and also considered as promising delivery carriers for future clinical use. This review outlines the composition, biogenesis, isolation and characterisation methods along with biological and clinical applications of exosomes. Further, the biopharmaceutical features of exosomes include loading method, modified exosomes and potential use of exosomes for different diseases are well explained with the current case studies. We well elaborate the future directions for clinical use of exosomes as drug delivery platforms.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Polcalcins belong to the family of calcium-binding proteins. They are ubiquitous in the plant kingdom and highly conserved, which leads to these panallergens showing a high degree of inter-cross-reactivity. They are responsible for allergic polysensitization, and therefore, their diagnosis is necessary for correct selection of immunotherapy. The objectives were to develop a method to purify native polcalcin with intact allergenic properties and to validate its use for diagnosis of polcalcin sensitization. METHODS Ole e 3 was purified by immunoaffinity chromatography using anti-rChe a 3 polyclonal antibodies and identified by mass spectrometry. Calcium-binding assays were performed in immunoblot and ELISA assays. Diagnostic capacity of Ole e 3 was analyzed by ELISA and compared to ImmunoCAP with sera from a pollen-sensitized population. Cross-reactivity with other polcalcins was investigated by ImmunoCAP inhibition. RESULTS Immunogenicity of purified Ole e 3 was not affected by the addition of calcium. However, the presence of a calcium chelator agent completely inhibited IgG binding by immunoblot and produced a 32.3% reduction in IgE binding by ELISA. Ole e 3 enabled diagnosis of polcalcin-sensitized patients, and a good correlation was revealed with ImmunoCAP. A 50% inhibition in IgE binding was obtained with 2.8 ng of Ole e 3 for rBet v 4 and 3.9 ng for rPhl p 7. DISCUSSION/CONCLUSION Native Ole e 3 was purified by maintaining its allergenic properties. This innovative method enables obtaining this active native allergen to be used for in vivo diagnosis of polcalcin sensitization.

Abstract
Mass spectrometry and its hyphenated techniques enabled by the improvements in liquid chromatography, capillary electrophoresis, novel ionization, and fragmentation modes are truly a cornerstone of robust and reliable protein glycosylation analysis. Boost in immunoglobulin G (IgG) glycan and glycopeptide profiling demands for both applied biomedical and research applications has brought many new advances in the field in terms of technical innovations, sample preparation, improved throughput, and confidence in glycan structural characterization. This chapter summarizes mass spectrometry basics, focusing on IgG and monoclonal antibody N-glycosylation analysis on several complexity levels. Different approaches, including antibody enrichment, glycan release, labeling, and glycopeptide preparation and purification, are covered and illustrated with recent breakthroughs and examples from the literature omitting excessive theoretical frameworks. Finally, selected highly popular methodologies in IgG glycoanalytics such as liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization are discussed more thoroughly yet in simple terms making this text a practical starting point either for the beginner in the field or an experienced clinician trying to make sense out of the IgG glycomic or glycoproteomic dataset.

Abstract
The field of affinity chromatography, which employs a biologically-related agent as the stationary phase, has seen significant growth since the modern era of this method began in 1968. This review examines the major developments and trends that have occurred in this technique over the past five decades. The basic principles and history of this area are first discussed. This is followed by an overview of the various supports, immobilization strategies, and types of binding agents that have been used in this field. The general types of applications and fields of use that have appeared for affinity chromatography are also considered. A survey of the literature is used to identify major trends in these topics and important areas of use for affinity chromatography in the separation, analysis, or characterization of chemicals and biochemicals.

Abstract
Growth hormone-releasing hormone and its analogues sermorelin, tesamorelin and CJC-1295 are included in the prohibited list of the World Antidoping Agency. These target peptides are found at very low concentrations in urine (at the pg/mL level). For this reason, hyphenated enrichment and purification steps prior to mass spectrometric detection are required. Among different strategies, immunopurification based on magnetic beads is an excellent alternative, as it offers improved selectivity when the immunoreactivity and orientation of the antibody are optimum and non-specific adsorption is minimized. However, choosing the magnetic bead surface functionalities that provide the best recoveries is not so straightforward. In this work, we have evaluated the suitability of magnetic beads with different supports, binding capacities and affinity chemistries prior analysis of human urine samples by liquid chromatography coupled to high resolution mass spectrometry using a Quadrupole-Orbitrap instrument. After optimization of the immunopurification protocol with the magnetic beads that provided better recoveries, the method was fully validated and found to be adequate considering the parameters specificity, intra- and inter-day precision (lower than 15 and 25%, respectively), matrix effect, limit of detection (0.2 ng/mL) and limit of identification (0.5 ng/mL).

Abstract
Most rabies vaccines are based on inactivated virus, which production process demands a high level of biosafety structures. In the past decades, recombinant rabies virus glycoprotein (RVGP) produced in several expression systems has been extensively studied to be used as an alternative vaccine. The immunogenic characteristics of this protein depend on its correct conformation, which is present only after the correct post-translational modifications, typically performed by animal cells. The main challenge of using this protein as a vaccine candidate is to keep its trimeric conformation after the purification process. We describe here a new immunoaffinity chromatography method using a monoclonal antibody for RVGP Site II for purification of recombinant rabies virus glycoprotein expressed on the membrane of Drosophila melanogaster S2 cells. RVGP recovery achieved at least 93%, and characterization analysis showed that the main antigenic proprieties were preserved after purification.

Abstract
Exosomes are a heterogenous subpopulation of extracellular vesicles 30–150 nm in range and of endosome-derived origin. We explored the exosome formation through different systems, including the endosomal sorting complex required for transport (ESCRT) and ESCRT-independent system, looking at the mechanisms of release. Different isolation techniques and specificities of exosomes from different tissues and cells are also discussed. Despite more than 30 years of research that followed their definition and indicated their important role in cellular physiology, the exosome biology is still in its infancy with rapidly growing interest. The reasons for the rapid increase in interest with respect to exosome biology is because they provide means of intercellular communication and transmission of macromolecules between cells, with a potential role in the development of diseases. Moreover, they have been investigated as prognostic biomarkers, with a potential for further development as diagnostic tools for neurodegenerative diseases and cancer. The interest grows further with the fact that exosomes were reported as useful vectors for drugs.

Abstract
Human immunoglobulin M (hIgM) antibodies are considered as hopeful tools for diseases therapy. Therefore, chromatography approaches are used to purify hIgM with a single step. In this study, we prepared a poly(hydroxyethyl methacrylate) based immunoaffinity p(HEMA-I) cryogel column by using cyanamide to immobilize antihuman immunoglobulin on the p(HEMA) cryogel for purification of hIgM in aqueous solution and artificial human plasma. The characterization of the p(HEMA) cryogel column was performed by using a scanning electron microscope (SEM), micro-computerized tomography (µ-CT), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), swelling degree and macro-porosity. Further, the optimizations of various parameters were performed such as, pH, ionic strength, temperature and concentration of hIgM in aqueous solutions. In addition, the Langmuir adsorption model was supported by experimental results. Maximum adsorbed amount of hIgM corresponded to 11.1 mg/g at pH 5.75 [morpholino ethanesulfonic acid (MES buffer)]. Our results indicated that the p(HEMA-I) cryogel column can be reused at least 10 times without significant loss in adsorption capacity. As a natural source, artificial human plasma was selected for hIgM adsorption and the purity of hIgM was evaluated using sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE).

Perspectives, Tendencies, and Guidelines in Affinity-Based Strategies for the Recovery and Purification of PEGylated Proteins. ADVANCES IN POLYMER TECHNOLOGY 2020.

Abstract
In recent years, the effective purification of PEGylated therapeutic proteins from reaction media has received particular attention. Although several techniques have been used, affinity-based strategies have been scarcely explored despite the fact that, after PEGylation, marked changes in the molecular affinity parameters of the modified molecules are observed. With this in mind, future contributions in the bioseparation of these polymer-protein conjugates are expected to exploit affinity in chromatographic and nonchromatographic techniques which will surely derive in the integration of different operations. However, this will only occur as novel ligands which are simultaneously found. As it will be mentioned, these novel ligands may be screened or designed. In both cases, computer-aided tools will support their identification or development. Additionally, ligand discovery by high-throughput screening (HTS) is believed to become a fast, economic, and informative technology that will aid in the mass production of ligands along with genetic engineering and related technologies. Therefore, besides analyzing the state of the art in affinity separation strategies for PEGylated molecules, this review proposes a basic guideline for the selection of adequate ligands to provide information and prospective on the future of affinity operations in solving this particular bioengineering problem.

Abstract
Oxylipins are derivatives of polyunsaturated fatty acids and due to their important and diverse functions in the body, they have become a popular subject of studies. The main challenge for researchers is their low stability and often very low concentration in samples. Therefore, in recent years there have been developments in the extraction and analysis methods of oxylipins. New approaches in extraction methods were described in our previous review. In turn, the old analysis methods have been replaced by new approaches based on mass spectrometry (MS) coupled with liquid chromatography (LC) and gas chromatography (GC), and the best of these methods allow hundreds of oxylipins to be quantitatively identified. This review presents comparative and comprehensive information on the progress of various methods used by various authors to achieve the best results in the analysis of oxylipins in biological samples.

Abstract
An on-line purification and entrapment system was developed that could extract a protein from a sample such as serum and entrap this protein within a small column for use in high-performance affinity chromatography. Human serum albumin (HSA) was employed as a model protein for this work. Immunoextraction columns containing polyclonal anti-HSA antibodies were developed to capture and isolate HSA from applied samples. This was followed by the use of a strong cation-exchange column to recapture and focus HSA as it eluted from the immunoextraction columns. The recaptured HSA was entrapped within 1.0 cm × 2.1 mm I.D. columns containing hydrazide-activated silica and in the presence of oxidized glycogen as a capping agent. The binding and elution properties of HSA on the various components of this system were examined and optimized. The entrapped columns produced by this system were then evaluated for their use in binding studies with several sulfonylurea drugs. The HSA columns created by this approach typically contained 0.3-0.6 nmol HSA and were stable over several weeks and more than 50-60 sample injections. Drug binding constants could be determined with these columns in 8 min or less by zonal elution and gave good agreement with literature values. The same system could be used for the capture and entrapment of other proteins by utilizing antibodies against the given target for immunoextraction.

Abstract
Silica-based lectin microcolumns were developed and optimized for the separation and analysis of glycoform fractions in alpha1-acid glycoprotein (AGP) based on both the degree of branching and level of fucosylation. Concanavalin A (Con A) and Aleuria Aurantia lectin (AAL) were immobilized onto HPLC-grade silica by reductive amination and packed into 2.1 mm i.d. × 5.0 cm microcolumns. Factors examined for these microcolumns include their protein content, binding capacity, binding strength and band-broadening under isocratic conditions (Con A) or step elution conditions (AAL) and in the presence of various flow rates or temperatures. These factors were examined by using experiments based on frontal analysis, zonal elution, peak profiling and peak decay analysis. Up to 200 μg AGP could be loaded onto a Con A microcolumn and provide linear elution conditions, and 100 μg AGP could be applied to an AAL microcolumn. The final conditions for separating retained and non-retained AGP glycoform fractions on a Con A microcolumn used a flow rate of 50 μL min-1 and a temperature of 50 °C, which gave a separation of these fractions within 20 min or less. The final conditions for an AAL microcolumn included a flow rate of 0.75 mL min-1, a temperature of 50 °C, and the use of 2.0 mM l-fucose as a competing agent for elution, giving a separation of non-retained and retained AGP glycoforms in 6 min or less. The inter-day precisions were ±0.7-4.0% or less for the retention times of the AGP glycoforms and ±2.2-3.0% or less for their peak areas.

Abstract
Antibody-coated nanoparticles have recently attracted considerable attention, with the focus falling on diagnostics. Nevertheless, controlled antibody bioconjugation remains a challenge. Here, we present two strategies of bioconjugation with the aim of evaluating the best approach for the coupling of antibodies on the surface of nanomaterials in an oriented way. We employed electrostatic interaction (physical adsorption) and covalent conjugation in the orientation of antibodies on the metallic surface as coupling methods, and their influence on the detection of 17β-estradiol was addressed with localized surface plasmon resonance. The understanding of these mechanisms is fundamental for the development of reproducible inorganic bioconjugates with oriented surface as well sensibility of immunoassays.

Abstract
A one-site immunometric assay based on affinity microcolumns was developed for the analysis of alpha1-acid glycoprotein (AGP) as a model protein biomarker. In this assay, a sample containing AGP was incubated with an excess amount of a labeled binding agent, such as fluorescein-labeled anti-AGP antibodies or Fab fragments. The excess binding agent was removed by passing this mixture through a microcolumn that contained an immobilized form of AGP, while the signal was measured for the binding agent-AGP complex in the non-retained fraction. Theoretical and practical factors were both considered in selecting the concentration of labeled binding agent, the incubation time of this agent with the sample, and the application conditions for this mixture onto the microcolumn. The effects of using various labeling methods and intact antibodies vs Fab fragments were also considered. The final assay was performed with fluorescein-labeled anti-AGP antibodies and a 2.1 mm i.d. × 1.0 cm AGP microcolumn operated at 0.30 mL min-1. This method required only 1 µL of serum or plasma, had a detection limit of 0.63 nM AGP, and gave a potential throughput of 2 min per sample. This assay was used to measure AGP in normal serum and plasma from patients with systemic lupus erythematosus, giving good agreement with the literature and a reference method. The same approach and guidelines can be used to create assays for other protein biomarkers by changing the labeled binding agent and immobilized protein within the microcolumn.

Abstract
Affinity capillary electrophoresis (ACE) is a separation technique that combines a biologically-related binding agent with the separating power and efficiency of capillary electrophoresis. This review will examine several classes of binding agents that have been used in ACE and applications that have been described for the resulting methods in clinical or pharmaceutical analysis. Binding agents that will be considered are antibodies, aptamers, lectins, serum proteins, carbohydrates, and enzymes. This review will also describe the various formats in which each type of binding agent has been used in CE, including both homogeneous and heterogeneous methods. Specific areas of applications that will be considered are CE-based immunoassays, glycoprotein/glycan separations, chiral separations, and biointeraction studies. The general principles and formats of ACE for each of these applications will be examined, along with the potential advantages or limitations of these methods.

Abstract
Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) is considered the major risk factor for the development of atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases (ASCVDs). A novel and rapid method for the isolation of LDL from human plasma was developed utilising affinity chromatography with monolithic stationary supports. The isolation method consisted of two polymeric monolithic disk columns, one immobilized with chondroitin-6-sulfate (C6S) and the other with apolipoprotein B-100 monoclonal antibody (anti-apoB-100 mAb). The first disk with C6S was targeted to remove chylomicrons, very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) particles, and their remnants including intermediate-density lipoprotein (IDL) particles, thus allowing the remaining major lipoprotein species, i.e. LDL, lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)), and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) to flow to the anti-apoB-100 disk. The second disk captured LDL particles via the anti-apoB-100 mAb attached on the disk surface in a highly specific manner, permitting the selective LDL isolation. The success of LDL isolation was confirmed by different techniques including quartz crystal microbalance. In addition, the method developed gave comparable results with ultracentrifugation, conventionally used as a standard method. The reliable results achieved together with a short isolation time (less than 30 min) suggest the method to be suitable for clinically relevant LDL functional assays.
