Strategies to enhance monoclonal antibody uptake and distribution in solid tumors

Despite the significant resources dedicated to the development of monoclonal antibody(m Ab)therapies for solid tumors,the clinical success,thus far,has been modest.Limited efficacy of m Ab in solid tumors likely relates to unique aspects of tumor physiology.Solid tumors have an aberrant vasculature and a dense extracellular matrix that slow both the convective and diffusive transport of m Abs into and within tumors.For m Abs that are directed against cellular antigens,high antigen expression and rapid antigen turnover can result in perivascular cells binding to and eliminating a significant amount of extravasated m Ab,limiting m Ab distribution to portions of the tumor that are distant from functional vessels.Many preclinical investigations have reported strategies to improve m Ab uptake and distribution;however,to our knowledge,none have translated into the clinic.Here,we provide an overview of several barriers in solid tumors that limit m Ab uptake and distribution and discuss approaches that have been utilized to overcome these barriers in preclinical studies.

Development and Characterization of Monoclonal Antibody Specific to Nuclear Protein of Avian Influenza Virus Type A

Five monoclonal antibodies（Mabs） to nuclear protein of avain influenza virus（AIV） were developed by syncretizing SP 2/0 and the spleen cells from BALB of mice immuized with H9 subtype AIV. Specificity of these Mabs were identified by immunofluorescent assay（IFA） and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）. These five Mabs which were named as AIV-NP-2C3, AIV-NP-6A5, AIV-NP-3 H9, AIV-NP-7B4, AIV-NP-2H4 could react with all viruses of AIV-H9 strains in tests. The result of Western blotting showed that only the 60 ku protein antigen of AIV-H9 could be recognized by the Mabs but never recognized by New castle disease virus, REV and infectious bursa disease virus. The result of preliminary application showed that avian influenza viruses could be deetected bv Mabs in IFA and ELISA. All these Mabs will probably play important roles in preventing and monitoring avian influenza viruses.

Establishment of Monoclonal Antibody Competitive ELISA Using Monoclonal Antibody Against VP1 Protein of Asia 1 Type Foot-and-Mouth Disease Virus

A MONOCLONAL ANTIBODY RECOGNIZING NON DERIVATIVE 13 HYDROXY GIBBERELLINS AND THEIR GLUCOSIDES *

The production and characterization of a monoclonal antibody (MAb AB10) against GA 3 glucoside as well as GA 3 is described. MAb AB10 was derived from an immunogen in which human serum albumin (HSA) was linked to GA 3 at carbon 3. This antibody showed high affinity for GA 3 glucoside as well as for 13 hydroxy gibberellins (GA 1, GA 3, GA 5, etc). The affinity of MAb AB10 for 13 hydroxy GAs was significantly reduced by methylation of the 7 oic acid but not by glycosylation of 3 hydroxyl group. Based on this antibody, both of competitive enzyme linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) for GA 3 glucoside and for GA 3 were developed. These two ELISAs displayed linear detection ranges from 0 2 pmol to 20 pmol. Using these assays, the fluctuation of GA 3 like and GA 3 glucoside like substances in the leaves of Rumex japonicus was investigated. The results indicated that the glycosylation of free GAs was connected with leaf senescence and that the function of 6 benzyl amino purine in retarding the leaf senescence was probably related to delaying the process of glycosylation of free GAs.

Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry method for the quantification of an anti-sclerostin monoclonal antibody in cynomolgus monkey serum

Liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry(LC-MS/MS)has gradually become a promising alternative to ligand binding assay for the bioanalysis of biotherapeutic molecules,due to its rapid method development and high accuracy.In this study,we established a new LC-MS/MS method for the determination of the anti-sclerostin monoclonal antibody(SHR-1222)in cynomolgus monkey serum,and compared it to a previous electrochemiluminescence method.The antibody was quantified by detecting the surrogate peptide obtained by trypsin digestion.The surrogate peptide was carefully selected by investigating its uniqueness,stability and MS response.The quantitative range of the proposed method was 2.00-500μg/mL,and this verified method was successfully applied to the toxicokinetic assessment of SHR-1222 in cynomolgus monkey serum.It was found that the concentrations of SHR-1222 in cynomolgus monkeys displayed an excellent agreement between the LC-MS/MS and electrochemiluminescence methods(ratios of drug exposure,0.8-1.0).Notably,two monkeys in the60 mg/kg dose group had abnormal profiles with a low detection value of SHR-1222 in their individual sample.Combining the high-level anti-drug antibodies(ADAs)in these samples and the consistent quantitative results of the two methods,we found that the decreased concentration of SHR-1222 was due to the accelerated clearance mediated by ADAs rather than the interference of ADAs to the detection platform.Taken together,we successfully developed an accurate,efficient and cost-effective LC-MS/MS method for the quantification of SHR-1222 in serum samples,which could serve as a powerful tool to improve the preclinical development of antibody drugs.

Clinical application of SARS-CoV-2 antibody detection and monoclonal antibody therapies against COVID-19

The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical application of severe acute respiratory distress syndrome coronavirus-2(SARS-CoV-2)specific antibody detection and anti-SARS-CoV-2 specific monoclonal antibodies(mAbs)in the treatment of coronavirus infectious disease 2019(COVID-19).The dynamic changes of SARS-CoV-2 specific antibodies during COVID-19 were studied.Immunoglobulin M(IgM)appeared earlier and lasted for a short time,while immunoglobulin G(IgG)appeared later and lasted longer.IgM tests can be used for early diagnosis of COVID-19,and IgG tests can be used for late diagnosis of COVID-19 and identification of asymptomatic infected persons.The combination of antibody testing and nucleic acid testing,which complement each other,can improve the diagnosis rate of COVID-19.Monoclonal anti-SARS-CoV-2 specific antibodies can be used to treat hospitalized severe and critically ill patients and non-hospitalized mild to moderate COVID-19 patients.COVID-19 convalescent plasma,highly concentrated immunoglobulin,and anti-SARS-CoV-2 specific mAbs are examples of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibody products.Due to the continuous emergence of mutated strains of the novel coronavirus,especially omicron,its immune escape ability and infectivity are enhanced,making the effects of authorized products reduced or invalid.Therefore,the optimal application of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibody products(especially anti-SARS-CoV-2 specific mAbs)is more effective in the treatment of COVID-19 and more conducive to patient recovery.

Production and Characterization of Anti-estrone Monoclonal Antibody

Objective Determination of estrone (E1) levels has a significant meaning in evaluating physiological effect and diagnosing some diseases. In order to detect free E1 in biological fluids, a monoclonal antibody specific for E1 was prepared after the complete antigen of E1 was synthesized. The purified monoclonal antibody was fully characterized for later immunoassay. Methods 3-O-carboxymethyl ether derivative of E1 was synthesized and in turn coupled to bovine serum albumin (BSA) to form complete antigen E1-BSA. A monoclonal antibody (McAb) specific for E1 was produced both in vitro and in vivo by a hybridoma anti-E1. Anti-E1 was prepared by fusion of SP2/0 murine myeloma cells with spleen cells isolated from immunized BALB/c mouse. The McAb was characterized by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), SDS-PAGE and Western-blotting. The specificity of the immunoassay was investigated by determining the cross-reactions of E1 analogs when free E1 was detected by competitive indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (CI-ELISA). Results Analysis revealed that anti-E1 McAb (E1-McAb) was of the IgG1 type, the molecular weight of E1-McAb was 164 000 daltons. The affinity constant of E1-McAb with coated complete antigen was 8.2108L/mol. The linear range for free E1 determined by CI-ELISA was 10pg/mL^10ng/mL. The detection limit was 21.4 pg/mL (defined as twice the standard deviation of the blank). Conclusion The CI-ELISA developed with E1-McAb was both sensitive and specific. The prepared E1-McAb can be used in some immunoassays.

Diagnosis of intestinal tuberculosis using a monoclonal antibody to Mycobacterium tuberculosis

AIM:To investigate the utility of immunohistochemical(IHC) staining with an antibody to Mycobacterium tuberculosis(M.tuberculosis) for the diagnosis of intestinal tuberculosis(TB).METHODS:We retrospectively identified 10 patients(4 males and 6 females;mean age = 65.1 ± 13.6 years) with intestinal TB.Clinical characteristics,including age,gender,underlying disease,and symptoms were obtained.Chest radiograph and laboratory tests,including sputum Ziehl-Neelsen(ZN) staining,M.tuberculosis culture,and sputum polymerase chain reaction(PCR) for tubercle bacilli DNA,as well as Tuberculin skin test(TST) and QuantiFERON-TB gold test(QFT),were examined.Colonoscopic records recorded on the basis of Sato's classification were also reviewed,in addition to data from intestinal biopsies examined for histopathological findings,including hematoxylin and eosin staining,and ZN staining,as well as M.tuberculosis culture,and PCR for tubercle bacilli DNA.For the present study,archived formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded(FFPE) intestinal tissue samples were immunohistochemically stained using a commercially available species-specific monoclonal antibody to the 38-kDa antigen of the M.tuberculosis complex.These sections were also stained with the pan-macrophage marker CD68 antibody.RESULTS:From the clinical data,we found that no patients were immunocompromised,and that the main symptoms were diarrhea and weight loss.Three patients displayed active pulmonary TB,six patients(60%) had a positive TST,and 4 patients(40%) had a positive QFT.Colonoscopic findings revealed that all patients had type 1 findings(linear ulcers in a circumferential arrangement or linear ulcers arranged circumferentially with mucosa showing multiple nodules),all of which were located in the right hemicolon and/or terminal ileum.Seven patients(70%) had concomitant healed lesions in the ileocecal area.No acid-fast bacilli were detected with ZN staining of the intestinal tissue samples,and both M.tuberculosis culture and PCR for tubercle bacilli DNA were negative in all samples.The histopathological data revealed that tuberculous granulomas were present in 4 cases(40%).IHC staining in archived FFPE samples with anti-M.tuberculosis monoclonal antibody revealed positive findings in 4 patients(40%);the same patients in which granulomas were detected by hematoxylin and eosin staining.M.tuberculosis antigens were found to be mostly intracellular,granular in pattern,and primarily located in the CD68 + macrophages of the granulomas.CONCLUSION:IHC staining with a monoclonal antibody to M.tuberculosis may be an efficient and simple diagnostic tool in addition to classic examination methods for the diagnosis of intestinal TB.

Preparation of monoclonal antibody against human KIAA0100 protein and Northern blot analysis of human KIAA0100 gene

Monoclonal antibodies(MAbs) are important tools for the study of proteins′ function and structure. But there has been no report on the preparation of MAbs against human KIAA0100 protein up to date. Here, first, we generated the mouse MAb against human KIAA0100 protein using purified recombinant 6×Histidinc(6×His)-tagged human KIAA0100 protein segment(1557–2234) as an antigen; then, the m RNA expression of human KIAA0100 gene was detected in U937 cells using Northern blot analysis. The results showed that the mouse MAb against human KIAA0100 protein could sensitively recognize the human KIAA0100 protein using Western blot analysis and immunocytochemistry analysis. Besides, Western blot analysis revealed that human KIAA0100 gene possibly encoded two different protein products(254 k Da and < 250 k Da) in U937 cells. Moreover,Northern blot analysis confirmed that human KIAA0100 gene might produced two different m RNA products(6000–10000 bp and 5000–6000 bp) in U937 cells. The results provide a basis for large-scale production of the MAb against human KIAA0100 protein, which will be useful for the study of human KIAA0100 protein′s function/structure and MAb-targeted drugs in the future.
