Purification of Porcine Circovirus Type 2 Using an Affinity Chromatography Based on a Neutralizing Monoclonal Antibody against Viral Capsid Protein.

ABSTRACT: Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) is a DNA virus without an envelope. The viral particle is icosahedral and has a diameter of approximately 17 nm. In order to obtain the purified virus, a broad-spectrum monoclonal antibody 3A5 against PCV2 was coupled to CNBr-activated Sepharose^TM 4B, and an affinity chromatography was established for PCV2 purification. A total of 6.5 mg of purified PCV2a/LG with 97% purity was obtained from 120 mL of the viral culture medium, and only PCV2 was detected by electron microscopy. No significant changes in the antigenic characteristics of the purified virus were detected by a capture enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Furthermore, the titer of the purified PCV2 was 100 times higher than that of the unpurified virus. This affinity chromatography method was also used to purify PCV2b/LN590516 and PCV2d/SD446F16, and the purified viruses were detected by electron microscopy, capture ELISA, and virus titration, respectively. The results showed that these two strains can be successfully purified, but the yield is lower than that of the PCV2a strain. In addition, the purified virus could be used to study the viral adsorption and invasion of PK15 cells using indirect immunofluorescence assays. A large number of PCV2 signals were detected to transfer from the cellular surface to the periphery of the nucleus of the PK15 cells after 30 min of adsorption of the PCV2 to the PK15 cells. The affinity chromatography is a simple and convenient tool to obtain PCV2 with high purity. It could be applied for virus structure analysis, antibody preparation, and viral adsorption and invasion research.

Antibody recognition of porcine circovirus type 2 capsid protein epitopes after vaccination, infection, and disease.

Project description:Open reading frame 2 (ORF2) of porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) codes for the 233-amino-acid capsid protein (CP). Baculovirus-based vaccines that express only ORF2 are protective against clinical disease following experimental challenge or natural infection. The goal of this study was to identify regions in CP preferentially recognized by sera from experimentally infected and vaccinated pigs and to compare these responses to those of pigs diagnosed with porcine circovirus-associated disease (PCVAD), including porcine multisystemic wasting syndrome (PMWS) and porcine dermatitis and nephropathy syndrome (PDNS). The approach was to react porcine sera with CP polypeptide fragments followed by finer mapping studies using overlapping oligopeptides that covered amino acids 141 to 200. The results showed that vaccinated pigs preferentially recognized only the largest polypeptide fragment, CP(43-233). A subset of experimentally infected pigs and pigs with PDNS showed strong reactivity against a CP oligopeptide, 169-STIDYFQPNNKR-180. Alanine scanning identified Y-173, F-174, Q-175, and K-179 as important for antibody recognition. The results from this study support the notion of PCV2 modulation of immunity, including antibody responses that may represent a precursor for disease. The recognition of CP(169-180) and other polypeptides provides opportunities to devise diagnostic tests for monitoring the immunological effectiveness of vaccination.

Protein purification using PDZ affinity chromatography.

Project description:PDZ domains function in nature as protein-binding domains within scaffold and membrane-associated proteins. They comprise approximately 90 residues and undergo specific, high-affinity interactions with complementary C-terminal peptide sequences, other PDZ domains, and/or phospholipids. We have previously shown that the specific, strong interactions of PDZ domains with their ligands make them well suited for use in affinity chromatography. This unit provides protocols for the PDZ affinity chromatography procedure that are applicable for the purification of proteins that contain PDZ domains or PDZ domain-binding ligands, either naturally or introduced by genetic engineering. We detail the preparation of affinity resins composed of PDZ domains or PDZ domain peptide ligands coupled to solid supports. These resins can be used to purify proteins containing endogenous or genetically introduced PDZ domains or ligands, eluting the proteins with free PDZ domain peptide ligands.

Nanoparticle orientationally displayed antigen epitopes improve neutralizing antibody level in a model of porcine circovirus type 2.

Project description:Recent advancements in biotechnology have enabled the rapid identification and subsequent expression of pathogenic microbial major antigens that induce protective immune responses. However, subunit vaccines have not been successfully commercialized mainly due to the lack of sufficient levels of neutralizing antibodies (NAs). High levels of NA rely on the efficient recognition and cross-linking of multiple neutralizing epitopes with B-cell receptors (BCRs). Nanoparticles are able to display coupled antigenic arrays at high density and provide multiple binding molecular scenarios with BCRs. The high-resolution antigenic structure makes it possible to accurately display stable neutralizing epitopes. Therefore, the development of a nanovaccine that orientationally displays neutralizing epitopes is a feasible strategy. To address this hypothesis, the capsid (Cap) protein of porcine circovirus type 2 as model antigen was conjugated to gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) through direct reaction of the mercapto group of the unique cysteines with AuNPs, rendering Cap-AuNPs to have neutralizing epitopes on outer surface and an immunodominant epitope buried within the inner surface. In vitro studies showed that AuNPs promoted the phagocytosis of Cap protein and NA levels were significantly improved, meanwhile antibody levels against the immunodominant epitope was significantly reduced. In mouse studies, Cap-AuNP-immunized mice displayed a high production of interleukin (IL)-4, IL-10, and interferon-γ, suggesting that Cap-AuNPs can effectively activate CD4+ and CD8+ T cells and balance Th1 and Th2 cellular responses. This study presents a new vaccine design strategy based on antigen structure, where nanoparticles are coupled to antigens in well-ordered arrays and orientationally display neutralizing epitopes to enhance NA levels.

Affinity profiling of monoclonal antibody and antibody-drug-conjugate preparations by coupled liquid chromatography-surface plasmon resonance biosensing.

Project description:Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) and antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are highly potent biopharmaceuticals designed for targeted cancer therapies. mAbs and ADCs can undergo modifications during production and storage which may affect binding to target receptors, potentially altering drug efficacy. In this work, liquid chromatography was coupled online to surface plasmon resonance (LC-SPR) to allow label-free affinity evaluation of mAb and ADC sample constituents (size and charge variants), under near-native conditions. Trastuzumab and its ADC trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) were used as a test sample and were analyzed by aqueous size-exclusion chromatography (SEC)-SPR before and after exposure to aggregate-inducing conditions. SEC-SPR allowed separation of the formed aggregates and measurement of their affinity towards the ligand-binding domain of the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) receptor immobilized on the surface of the SPR sensor chip. The monomer and aggregates of the mAb and ADC were shown to have similar antigen affinity. Conjugation of drugs to trastuzumab appeared to accelerate the aggregate formation. In addition, cation-exchange chromatography (CEX) was coupled to SPR enabling monitoring the maximum ligand-analyte binding capacity (Rmax) of individual charge variants present in mAbs. Deamidated species and lysine variants in trastuzumab sample were separated but did not show different binding affinities to the immobilized HER2-binding domain. In order to allow protein variant assignment, parallel MS detection was added to the LC-SPR setup using a column effluent split. The feasibility of the LC-MS/SPR system was demonstrated by analysis of trastuzumab and T-DM1 providing information on antibody glycoforms and/or determination of the drug-to-antibody ratio (DAR), while simultaneously monitoring binding of eluting species to HER2.

Design and preliminary application of affinity peptide based on the structure of the porcine circovirus type II Capsid (PCV2 Cap).

Project description:Background:Affinity peptides, as a core part of affinity chromatography, play an important role in the purification of target molecules. Methods:Here we describe the use of molecular docking technology for virtual screening of affinity peptides that specifically recognize the PCV2 Cap protein for the first time. Thirteen candidate peptides with high scores were obtained and then further characterized. Experimentally, the affinity and sensitivity of the peptides studied were identified by ELISA and LSPR, respectively. In order to investigate the purification effect of a selected peptide (L11) for the recombinant PCV2 Cap protein, it was coupled to NHS agarose magnetic beads as an affinity adsorbent (NaMB-L11); and the ligand density of the affinity adsorbent and pH value in the purification of the recombinant PCV2 Cap protein were optimized. Results:Our data showed that the peptide L11- DYWWQSWE has the smallest KD = 103 nM with higher specificity for PCV2 Cap protein recognition. The NaMB-L11 affinity adsorbent yielded a purified Cap sample with 98% purity at 90% recovery in a single step. Conclusion:Based on the structure, we obtained a high affinity peptide L11 binding to the PCV2 Cap protein by molecular docking technology. It not only provides a theoretical basis for the design of PCV2 Cap affinity peptide, but a new method for the purification of the PCV2 Cap protein.

Porcine circovirus (PCV) removal by Q sepharose fast flow chromatography.

Project description:The recently discovered contamination of oral rotavirus vaccines led to exposure of millions of infants to porcine circovirus (PCV). PCV was not detected by conventional virus screening tests. Regulatory agencies expect exclusion of adventitious viruses from biological products. Therefore, methods for inactivation/removal of viruses have to be implemented as an additional safety barrier whenever feasible. However, inactivation or removal of PCV is difficult. PCV is highly resistant to widely used physicochemical inactivation procedures. Circoviruses such as PCV are the smallest viruses known and are not expected to be effectively removed by currently-used virus filters due to the small size of the circovirus particles. Anion exchange chromatography such as Q Sepharose(®) Fast Flow (QSFF) has been shown to effectively remove a range of viruses including parvoviruses. In this study, we investigated PCV1 removal by virus filtration and by QSFF chromatography. As expected, PCV1 could not be effectively removed by virus filtration. However, PCV1 could be effectively removed by QSFF as used during the purification of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) and a log10 reduction value (LRV) of 4.12 was obtained.

Identification of one critical amino acid that determines a conformational neutralizing epitope in the capsid protein of porcine circovirus type 2.

Project description:BACKGROUND: Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) is associated with post-weaning multisystemic wasting syndrome (PMWS) in pigs. Currently, there is considerable interest in the immunology of PCV2; in particular, the immunological properties of the capsid protein. This protein is involved in PCV2 immunogenicity and is a potential target for vaccine development. In this study, we identified one critical amino acid that determines a conformational neutralizing epitope in the capsid protein of PCV2. RESULTS: One monoclonal antibody (mAb; 8E4), against the capsid protein of PCV2, was generated and characterized in this study. 8E4 reacted with the genotype PCV2a (CL, LG and JF2) strains but not PCV2b (YJ, SH and JF) strains by an immunoperoxidase monolayer assay (IPMA) and a capture ELISA. Furthermore, the mAb had the capacity to neutralize PCV2a (CL, LG and JF2) strains but not PCV2b (YJ, SH and JF) strains. One critical amino acid that determined a conformational neutralizing epitope was identified using mAb 8E4 and PCV2 infectious clone technique. Amino acid residues 47-72 in the capsid protein of PCV2a/CL were replaced with the corresponding region of PCV2b/YJ, and the reactivity of mAb 8E4 was lost. Further experiments demonstrated that one amino acid substitution, the alanine for arginine at position 59 (A59R) in the capsid protein of PCV2a (CL, LG and JF2) strains, inhibited completely the immunoreactivity of three PCV2a strains with mAb 8E4. CONCLUSIONS: It is concluded that the alanine at position 59 in the capsid protein of PCV2a (CL, LG and JF2) strains is a critical amino acid, which determines one neutralizing epitope of PCV2a (CL, LG and JF2) strains. This study provides valuable information for further in-depth mapping of the conformational neutralizing epitope, understanding antigenic difference among PCV2 strains, and development of a useful vaccine for control of PCV2-associated disease.

Antibody purification via affinity membrane chromatography method utilizing nucleotide binding site targeting with a small molecule.

Project description:Here, we present an affinity membrane chromatography technique for purification of monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies from cell culture media of hybridomas and ascites fluids. The m-NBST method utilizes the nucleotide-binding site (NBS) that is located on the Fab variable domain of immunoglobulins to enable capturing of antibody molecules on a membrane affinity column via a small molecule, tryptamine, which has a moderate binding affinity to the NBS. Regenerated cellulose membrane was selected as a matrix due to multiple advantages over traditionally used resin-based affinity systems. Rituximab was used for proof of concept experiments. Antibody purification was accomplished by first capture of injected samples while running equilibration buffer (50 mM sodium phosphate pH 7.0), followed by elution achieved by running a gradient of mild elution buffer (3 M NaCl in 50 mM phosphate pH 7.0). The results indicate that the m-NBST column efficiency for Rituximab was >98%, with a purity level of >98%. The quality and the capacity of this small molecule membrane affinity purification method is further evaluated for a number of parameters such as: injection concentrations, volumes, wash/bind time, elution gradient, antibody/protein-contaminant combinations, effects of injection buffer, post-purification antigen binding activity of antibodies, and column reusability and stability.
