AI Article Synopsis

  • Antibody phage display selection on cells is an effective method for creating specific antibodies that target proteins in their natural, cell-bound form.
  • This technique overcomes issues related to expressing recombinant proteins, such as misfolding or losing important parts of the protein structure.
  • The antibodies generated through this method can be utilized for various applications, including research studies, diagnostic tests, and therapeutic uses, and the text outlines a simple protocol for creating and screening these antibodies.

Article Abstract

Antibody phage display selection on cells is a powerful tool to generate highly specific antibodies recognizing a target in its cell bound conformation. Unlike phage display selections on immobilized proteins, it is not hampered by difficulties caused by recombinant protein expression of target proteins like altered folding or loss of epitopes. It also allows the generation of antibodies against proteins that are commercially unavailable, due to high production costs or lack of production. It is also a promising approach for single and especially multi-pass membrane proteins for which the complex secondary and tertiary structures can often not be retained upon recombinant protein expression. The selected antibodies are not only tools for in vivo studies but also used for the development of diagnostic assays and for therapeutical applications. Here, we describe a straightforward protocol for generation and screening of scFv binders by phage display selections on cells.

Proteins have proven to be useful agents in a variety of fields, from serving as potent therapeutics to enabling complex catalysis for chemical manufacture. However, they remain difficult to design and are instead typically selected for using extensive screens or directed evolution. Recent developments in protein large language models have enabled fast generation of diverse protein sequences in unexplored regions of protein space predicted to fold into varied structures, bind relevant targets, and catalyze novel reactions.

Small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) plays a pivotal role in diverse cellular processes and is implicated in diseases such as cancer and neurodegenerative disorders. However, large-scale identification of endogenous SUMO-1 faces challenges due to limited enrichment methods and its lower abundance compared to SUMO-2/3. Here we propose a novel combinatorial peptide strategy, combined with anti-adhesive polymer development, to enrich endogenous SUMO-1 modified peptides, revealing a comprehensive SUMOylation landscape.

Post-translational modification of proteins is a crucial biological reaction that regulates protein functions by altering molecular properties. The specific detection of such modifications in proteins has made significant contributions to molecular biology research and holds potential for future drug development applications. In HIV research, for example, tyrosine sulfation at the N-terminus of C-C chemokine receptor type 5 (CCR5) is considered to significantly enhance HIV infection efficiency.

Influenza remains a persistent global health challenge, largely due to the virus' continuous antigenic drift and occasional shift, which impede the development of a universal vaccine. To address this, the identification of broadly neutralizing antibodies and their epitopes is crucial. Nanobodies, with their unique characteristics and binding capacity, offer a promising avenue to identify such epitopes.
