Antibody-Coupled Magnetic Beads Can Be Reused in Immuno-MRM Assays To Reduce Cost and Extend Antibody Supply.

ABSTRACT: Immunoaffinity enrichment of peptides coupled to targeted, multiple reaction monitoring mass spectrometry (immuno-MRM) enables precise quantification of peptides. Affinity-purified polyclonal antibodies are routinely used as affinity reagents in immuno-MRM assays, but they are not renewable, limiting the number of experiments that can be performed. In this technical note, we describe a workflow to regenerate anti-peptide polyclonal antibodies coupled to magnetic beads for enrichments in multiplex immuno-MRM assays. A multiplexed panel of 44 antibodies (targeting 60 peptides) is used to show that peptide analytes can be effectively stripped off of antibodies using acid washing without compromising assay performance. The performance of the multiplexed panel (determined by correlation, agreement, and precision of reused assays) is reproducible (R(2) between 0.81 and 0.99) and consistent (median CVs 8-15%) for at least 10 times of washing and reuse. Application of this workflow to immuno-MRM studies greatly reduces per sample assay cost and increases the number of samples that can be interrogated with a limited supply of polyclonal antibody reagent. This allows more characterization for promising and desirable targets prior to committing funds and efforts to conversion to a renewable monoclonal antibody.

Project description:Unlabelled5B1 is a fully human, monoclonal antibody that has shown promise for the PET imaging of cancers expressing carbohydrate antigen 19.9 (CA19.9)--a carbohydrate prevalent in cells with aberrant glycosylation and an established effector of metastasis. The long physiologic half-life of the antibody and interference from circulating CA19.9 may increase the time required to generate quality images as well as the risk of radiation exposure to healthy tissues during repeated PET imaging. Pretargeting methodologies are an effective approach to expeditiously acquire PET images, but in this case, the pretargeting approach is complicated by the internalization of 5B1 by CA19.9-expressing cells. We sought to adapt and optimize a pretargeting strategy that exploits the bioorthogonal reaction between transcyclooctene (TCO) and tetrazine (Tz) to overcome these complications.Methods5B1 was modified with TCO, and a novel NOTA-PEG7-Tz radioligand was synthesized with the goal of improving on a previously reported analog. BxPC3 and Capan-2 cells were evaluated for their ability to internalize anti-CA19.9 antibodies using a fluorometric assay, and xenografts of the same lines were used for in vivo studies. The pretargeting approach was optimized, and the 2 radioligands were compared using biodistribution and PET imaging in murine models of pancreatic cancer.ResultsBxPC3 and Capan-2 cells were shown to rapidly internalize anti-CA19.9 monoclonal antibodies, including 5B1. (64)Cu-NOTA-PEG7-Tz showed improved in vivo pharmacokinetics relative to (64)Cu-NOTA-Tz using 5B1-TCO as the targeting vector. PET imaging and biodistribution studies showed that injecting the radioligand 72 h after the administration of 5B1-TCO resulted in the best uptake (8.2 ± 1.7 percentage injected dose per gram at 20 h after injection) and tumor-to-background activity concentration ratios. Dosimetry calculations revealed that the pretargeting system produced a greater than 25-fold reduction in total body radiation exposure relative to (89)Zr-desferrioxamine-5B1. PET/CT imaging in an orthotopic Capan-2 xenograft model--which secretes large amounts of CA19.9 and more rapidly internalizes anti-CA19.9 antibodies--showed that this approach is viable even in the difficult circumstances presented by a circulating antigen and internalized targeting vector.ConclusionThe 5B1-TCO and (64)Cu-NOTA-PEG7-Tz system evaluated in these studies can delineate CA19.9-positive xenografts in murine models of pancreatic cancer despite the challenges posed by the combination of circulating antigen and internalization of the 5B1-TCO.

Project description:Clinical and laboratory diagnosis of Active Tuberculosis (ATB) and latent Mycobacterium Tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis) infections (LTBI) among people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) presents formidable challenges. In the past, WHO issued an advisory against the use of existing TB sero-diagnostics. Emerging evidence, however, points to a precision of TB sero-diagnostics based on secretory rather than structural M. tuberculosis antigens. We hypothesized that secretory levels of M. tuberculosis thymidylate kinase (TMKmt) can Designate ATBI from LTBI and no TB (NTB). Here, we report in-house validation studies of levels of TMKmt antigen (Ag) and host specific TMKmt antibody (Ab) amongst HIV +ve and HIV -ve participants. Direct TMKmt Ag and host specific IgG Ab detection EIAs were conducted on broadly consented, stored serum (N=281[Ag] vs. 214 [Ab] respective) samples stratified as either HIV +ve or HIV-ve ATB relative to LTBI and No TB. On one hand, UG-peptide 1 and its PAb-based EIAs accurately diagnosed ATB relative to LTBI and NTB among HIV +ve subjects {irrespectively: (a) Ag detection ATB=OD>0.490; 95% CI: 0.7446 to 0.8715 vs. LTBI=OD<0.490; 95% CI 0.4325 to 0.4829 vs. NTB=OD<0.26; 95% CI 0.1675 to 0.2567 and (b) TMKmt specific IgG detection ATB=OD>1.00; 95% CI 1.170 to 1.528 [HIV +ve] and 2.044 to 2.978 [HIV -ve] respectively vs. LTBI=OD<1.00; 95% CI 0.2690 to 0.6396 vs. NTB=OD<; 95% CI 0.1527 to 0.8751}. HIV -ve ATB presented with Ag levels greater than NTB and less than LTBI (i.e. ATB -ve=<0.490 ODs>0.26), but displayed better ant-TMKmt IgG responses (OD>2.00; 95% CI 2.044 to 2.978) relative to HIV +ve ATB (OD<1.600; 95% CI 1.170 to 1.528); suggesting a better control of M. tuberculosis-septicemia. On the other hand, UG-peptide 2 and its PAb-based EIAs did not demonstrate ATB diagnostic potential regardless of HIV sero-status, except towards designating NTB. TMKmt Ab and Ag detecting EIAs based on UG-peptide 1 and its derivative PAb can accurately demarcate ATB from LTBI and NTB among HIV +ve subjects.

Project description:Receptor occupancy, the ratio between amount of drug bound and amount of total receptor on single cells, is a biomarker for treatment response to therapeutic monoclonal antibodies. Receptor occupancy is traditionally measured by flow cytometry. However, spectral overlap in flow cytometry limits the number of markers that can be measured simultaneously. This restricts receptor occupancy assays to the analysis of major cell types, although rare cell populations are of potential therapeutic relevance. We therefore developed a receptor occupancy assay suitable for mass cytometry. Measuring more markers than currently available in flow cytometry allows simultaneous receptor occupancy assessment and high-parameter immune phenotyping in whole blood, which should yield new insights into disease activity and therapeutic effects. However, varying sensitivity across the mass cytometer detection range may lead to misinterpretation of the receptor occupancy when drug and receptor are detected in different channels. In this report, we describe a method for optimization of mass cytometry receptor occupancy measurements by using antibody-binding quantum simply cellular (QSC) beads for standardization across channels with different sensitivities. We evaluated the method in a mass cytometry-based receptor occupancy assay for natalizumab, a therapeutic antibody used in multiple sclerosis treatment that binds to α4-integrin, which is expressed on leukocyte cell surfaces. Peripheral blood leukocytes from a treated patient were stained with a panel containing metal-conjugated antibodies for detection of natalizumab and α4-integrin. QSC beads with known antibody binding capacity were stained with the same metal-conjugated antibodies and were used to standardize the signal intensity in the leukocyte sample before calculating receptor occupancy. We found that QSC bead standardization across channels corrected for sensitivity differences for detection of drug and receptor and generated more accurate results than observed without standardization. © 2019 The Authors.
