Article Abstract
Microorganisms encounter diverse stress conditions in their native habitats but also during fermentation processes, which have an impact on industrial process performance. These environmental stresses and the physiological reactions they trigger, including changes in the protein folding/secretion machinery, are highly interrelated. Thus, the investigation of environmental factors, which influence protein expression and secretion is still of great importance. Among all the possible stresses, temperature appears particularly important for bioreactor cultivation of recombinant hosts, as reductions of growth temperature have been reported to increase recombinant protein production in various host organisms. Therefore, the impact of temperature on the secretion of proteins with therapeutic interest, exemplified by a model antibody Fab fragment, was analyzed in five different microbial protein production hosts growing under steady-state conditions in carbon-limited chemostat cultivations. Secretory expression of the heterodimeric antibody Fab fragment was successful in all five microbial host systems, namely Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Pichia pastoris, Trichoderma reesei, Escherichia coli and Pseudoalteromonas haloplanktis. In this comparative analysis we show that a reduction of cultivation temperature during growth at constant growth rate had a positive effect on Fab 3H6 production in three of four analyzed microorganisms, indicating common physiological responses, which favor recombinant protein production in prokaryotic as well as eukaryotic microbes.

Monoclonal antibodies recognizing nonprotein antigens remain largely underrepresented in our understanding of the molecular repertoire of innate and adaptive immunity. One such antibody is Mannitou, a murine IgM that recognizes paucimannosidic glycans. In this work, we report the production and purification of the recombinant antigen-binding fragment (Fab) of Mannitou IgM (Mannitou Fab) and employ a combination of biochemical and biophysical approaches to obtain its initial structural characterization.

Antigen binding fragments (Fabs) are an emerging class of biotherapeutics, widely accepted as an alternative to the traditional monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). The small size of the Fabs offers better tissue penetrability and lack of Fc region, thereby resulting in reduced side effects. However, since Fab molecules lack Fc region, Protein A chromatography (the ubiquitous capture step in mAb platforms) cannot be employed.

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) reactivation after stem cell or solid organ transplantation remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality in this setting. T-cell receptor (TCR)-like antibodies bind to intracellular peptides presented in major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules on the cell surface and may have the potential to replace T-cell function in immunocompromised patients. Three previously selected CMV-specific, human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-restricted (HLA-A*0101, HLA-A*0201 and HLA-B*0702) Fab-antibodies (A6, C1 and C7) were produced as IgG antibodies with Fc optimization.

Investigating the molecular conformations of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) adsorbed at the solid/liquid interface is crucial for understanding mAb solution stability and advancing the development of mAb-based biosensors. This study examines the pH-dependent conformational plasticity of a human IgG1k mAb, COE-3, at the SiO/water interface under varying pH conditions (pH 5.5 and 9).
