Angiogenesis is critical for cancer development and metastasis. Here we have employed a functional antibody library-based proteomic screen to identify proteins that participate in and might be used as therapeutic targets for tumor-related angiogenesis. Mice were immunized with human esophageal cancer endothelial cells (HECEC). The antibody library was established with the mouse spleen cells the serum of which had most anti-angiogenic effect. Monoclonal antibodies were subjected to an immunoreactive and functional screen and monoclonal antibodies that reacted strongly with cell surface antigens of HECECs and influenced their behavior were selected. Antigens that recognized by the antibodies were obtained by immunoprecipitation and then identified by mass spectrometry analysis. Migration-stimulating factor (MSF), the antigen of 1D2 antibody was identified using this approach. Further studies demonstrated that the 1D2 antibody suppressed MSF-effected migration and adhesion of HECECs on fibronectin matrix. Biodistribution assay showed that MSF targeting antibody 1D2 could specifically home to the xenograft with humanized blood vessel. Targeting treatment with 1D2 antibody significantly suppressed tumor growth through inhibition of human tumor-related angiogenesis. These results indicate that the functional antibody library-based proteomic screen can successfully identify proteins that involved in tumor-related angiogenesis and MSF may be a target for the anti-angiogenic treatment of the esophageal cancer.

The β-type anti-Id (Ab2β) is considered to have potential for simulating the structure and function of the antigen. In this study, a β-type anti-Id (3A7 anti-I-GEAb) of the Cry1C toxin was captured from a GEAb library. Subsequently, a higher activity of mutant (3A7 mutant 8) was obtained from the mutagenesis library based on 3A7 anti-I-GEAb.

A prokaryotic resistance-based directed evolution system leveraging protein-fragment complementation assay (PCA) was devised, and its proficiency in detecting protein-protein interactions and discriminating varying degrees of binding affinity was demonstrated by two well-characterized protein pairs. Furthermore, we constructed a random mutant library based on the GBP mutant, characterized by almost no affinity towards EGFP. This library was subjected to PCA-based prokaryotic directed evolution, resulting in the isolation of back-mutated variants.

Using conventional immunoglobulin G (IgG) molecules as therapeutic agents presents several well-known disadvantages owing to their large size and structural complexity, negatively impacting development and production efficiency. Single-domain antibodies (sdAbs) are the smallest functional antibody format (~ 15 kDa) and represent a viable alternative to IgG in many applications. However, unlike natural single-domain antibodies, such as camelid VH, the variable domains of conventional antibodies show poor physicochemical properties when expressed as sdAbs.

Background: Antibodies have been proven effective as diagnostic agents for detecting zoonotic diseases. The variable domain of camel heavy chain antibody (VHH), as an antibody derivative, may be used as an alternative for traditional antibodies in existing immunodiagnostic reagents for detecting rapidly spreading infectious diseases.
Objectives: To expedite the isolation of specific antibodies for diagnostic purposes, we constructed a semi-synthetic camel single domain antibody library based on the phage display technique platform (PDT) and verified the validity of this study.

SARS-CoV-2 infection is initiated by Spike glycoprotein binding to the human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor via its receptor binding domain. Blocking this interaction has been proven to be an effective approach to inhibit virus infection. Here we report the discovery of a neutralizing nanobody named VHH60, which was directly produced from an engineering nanobody library based on a commercialized nanobody within a very short period.
