The impact of monoclonal antibodies (mAb) biotinylation on the output and the repertoire of selected peptides in the biopanning procedure were tested. A comparative analysis of the peptides selected from phage library using the biotinylated and non-biotinylated mAb 2F5 was performed. It was shown that the output of peptides homologous to the native epitope was 1.7-fold higher for biotinylated antibodies, whereas the binding capacity of the selected phages with mAb 2F5 in ELISA was higher in the case of using non-biotinylated antibodies. It should be noted that the phages exposing peptides, which have 4-5 amino acid sequence similarity with the native epitope, demonstrate the highest binding affinity. The phages that expose peptides with 3 amino acid sequence similarity demonstrate different binding affinity: from the smallest to the largest. Based on the obtained data, it is safe to suggest that the rational biopanning may proceed in accordance with the task.

Induction of broadly neutralizing antibodies targeting ectodomain of the transmembrane (TM) glycoprotein gp41 HIV-1 provides a basis for the development of a universal anti-viral vaccine. The HeLa cell-derived TZM-bl reporter cell line is widely used for the estimation of lentiviruses neutralization by immune sera. The cell line is highly permissive to infection by most strains of HIV, SIV, and SHIV.

2F5 is an HIV-1 broadly neutralizing Ab that also binds the autoantigens kynureninase (KYNU) and anionic lipids. Generation of 2F5-like Abs is proscribed by immune tolerance, but it is unclear which autospecificity is responsible. We sampled the BCR repertoire of 2F5 knock-in mice before and after the first and second tolerance checkpoints.

The purification of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) is commonly achieved by Protein A affinity chromatography, which can account for up to 25% of the overall process costs. Alternative, cost-effective capture steps are therefore valuable for industrial-scale manufacturing, where large quantities of a single mAb are produced. Here we present a method for the immobilization of a DsRed-based epitope ligand to a cross-linked agarose resin allowing the selective capture of the HIV-neutralizing antibody 2F5 from crude plant extracts without using Protein A.

T-20 peptide is the first FDA-approved fusion inhibitor against AIDS/HIV-1 gp41 protein. Part of it, the gp41[659-671] peptide, that contains the complete epitope for the neutralizing 2F5 monoclonal antibody, has been found experimentally in a number of divergent structures. Herein, we attempt to reconcile them by using unbiased large-scale all-atom molecular dynamics folding simulations.

The paper describes construction of TBI-based recombinant proteins TBI-2F5 and TBI-2G12 that contain peptide mimotopes of HIV-1 epitopes recognized by broadly neutralizing antibodies 2F5 and 2G12, respectively. The capacity of the immunogens to induce neutralizing antibodies was evaluated. The sera of BALB/c mice immunized with recombinant proteins TBI, TBI-2F5, and TBI-2G12 neutralized HIV-1 env-pseudoviruses.
