Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) based binding studies of refolded single chain antibody fragments.

ABSTRACT: Recent advances in Recombinant antibody technology / Antibody Engineering has given impetus to the genetic manipulation of antibody fragments that has paved the way for better understanding of the structure and functions of immunoglobulins and also has escalated their use in immunotherapy. Bacterial expression system such as Escherichia coli has complemented this technique through the expression of recombinant antibodies. Present communication has attempted to optimize the expression and refolding protocol of single chain fragment variable (ScFv) and single chain antigen binding fragment (ScFab) using E.coli expression system. Efficiency of refolding protocol was validated by structural analysis by CD, native folding by fluorescence and functional analysis by its binding with full length HIV-1 gp120 via SPR. Results show the predominant ?-sheet (CD) as secondary structural content and native folding via red shift (tryptophan fluorescence). The single chain fragments have shown good binding with HIV-1 gp120 thus validating the expression and refolding strategy and also reinstating E.coli as model expression system for recombinant antibody engineering. SPR based binding analysis coupled with E.coli based expression and purification will have implication for HIV therapeutics and will set a benchmark for future studies of similar kind.

Project description:Human milk glycans inhibit binding between norovirus and its host glycan receptor; such competitive inhibition by human milk glycans is associated with a reduced risk of infection. The relationship between the presence of specific structural motifs in the human milk glycan and its ability to inhibit binding by specific norovirus strains requires facile, accurate and miniaturized-binding assays. Toward this end, a high-throughput biosensor platform was developed based on surface plasmon resonance imaging (SPRi) of glycan microarrays. The SPRi was validated, and its utility was tested, by measuring binding specificities between defined human milk glycan epitopes and the capsids of two common norovirus strains, VA387 and Norwalk. Human milk oligosaccharide (HMOS)-based neoglycoconjugates, including chemically derived neoglycoproteins and oligosaccharide-glycine derivatives, were used to represent polyvalent glycoconjugates and monovalent oligosaccharides, respectively, in human milk. SPRi binding results established that the glycan motifs that bind norovirus capsids depend upon strain; VA387 capsid interacts with two neoglycoproteins, whereas Norwalk capsid binds to a different set of HMOS motifs in the form of both polyvalent neoglycoproteins and monovalent oligosaccharides. SPRi competitive binding assays further demonstrated that specific norovirus-binding glycans are able to inhibit norovirus capsid binding to their host receptors. A polyvalent neoglycoconjugate with clustered carbohydrate moieties is required for the inhibition of VA387 capsid binding to host receptor glycans, whereas both monovalent oligosaccharides and polyvalent neoglycoconjugates are able to inhibit Norwalk capsid binding to its host receptor. Binding of HMOS and HMOS-based neoglycoconjugates to norovirus capsids depends upon the specific strain characteristics, implying that HMOS and their polyvalent derivatives are potential anti-adhesive agents for norovirus prophylaxis.
