A Biacore T100 optical biosensor was used to characterize the binding kinetics of a panel of antigen binding fragments (Fabs) directed against the PcrV protein from Pseudomonas aeruginosa. PcrV protein forms part of the type III secretion system complex of this opportunistic pathogen. We demonstrate that the biosensor response data for each Fab collected from three different surface densities of the antigen could be fit globally to a simple 1:1 interaction model. Importantly, we found that the Fabs with the slowest dissociation rate provided the best protection in cell cytotoxicity studies. To further characterize the Fab interactions, binding data were automatically acquired at different temperatures and under different buffer conditions. The comprehensive characterization of these Fabs shows how Biacore T100 can be used to complement protein therapeutic discovery programs from basic research to the selection of therapeutic candidates.

Anti-adalimumab antibodies in a cohort of patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis: incidence and clinical correlations.

Article Synopsis
  • Adalimumab, a TNF-α blocker antibody similar to natural human IgG1, can trigger the formation of anti-drug antibodies (AAA) in patients with inflammatory conditions, including juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA).
  • A study conducted on JIA children revealed that 37% of the 27 participants developed AAA after starting adalimumab, with the antibodies detected between 3 and 38 months into treatment.
  • The presence of AAA was linked to a higher relapse rate, as 70% of AAA-positive patients experienced relapses compared to only 23.5% of those without AAA, indicating a potential clinical significance in managing JIA.

Determination of High-affinity Antibody-antigen Binding Kinetics Using Four Biosensor Platforms.

Label-free optical biosensors are powerful tools in drug discovery for the characterization of biomolecular interactions. In this study, we describe the use of four routinely used biosensor platforms in our laboratory to evaluate the binding affinity and kinetics of ten high-affinity monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against human proprotein convertase subtilisin kexin type 9 (PCSK9). While both Biacore T100 and ProteOn XPR36 are derived from the well-established Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) technology, the former has four flow cells connected by serial flow configuration, whereas the latter presents 36 reaction spots in parallel through an improvised 6 x 6 crisscross microfluidic channel configuration.

Here we provide data from a head-to-head comparison study using four biosensor platforms: GE Healthcare׳s Biacore T100, Bio-Rad׳s ProteOn XPR36, ForteBio׳s Octet RED384, and Wasatch Microfluidics׳s IBIS MX96. We used these instruments to analyze the binding interactions of a panel of ten high-affinity monoclonal antibodies with their antigen, human proprotein convertase subtilisin kexin type 9 (PCSK9). For each instrument, binding curves obtained at multiple densities of surface antibodies were fit to the 1:1 Langmuir kinetic model, and the association and dissociation rate constants and corresponding affinity constants were calculated.

The acquisition of reliable kinetic parameters for the characterization of biomolecular interactions is an important component of the drug discovery and development process. While several benchmark studies have explored the variability of kinetic rate constants obtained from multiple laboratories and biosensors, a direct comparison of these instruments' performance has not been undertaken, and systematic factors contributing to data variability from these systems have not been discussed. To address these questions, a panel of ten high-affinity monoclonal antibodies was simultaneously evaluated for their binding kinetics against the same antigen on four biosensor platforms: GE Healthcare's Biacore T100, Bio-Rad's ProteOn XPR36, ForteBio's Octet RED384, and Wasatch Microfluidics's IBIS MX96.

The affinity of therapeutic antibodies for Fcγ receptors (FcγRs) strongly influences their antitumor potency. To generate antibodies with optimal binding and immunologic efficacy, we compared the affinities of different versions of an IgG1 Fc region that had an altered peptide backbone, altered glycans, or both. To produce IgG1 with glycans that lacked α1,6-fucose, we used CHO cells that were deficient in the enzyme UDP-N-acetylglucosamine: α-3-d-mannoside-β-1,2-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase I (GnT1), encoded by the MGAT1 gene.
