Approaches for the detection and analysis of antidrug antibodies to biopharmaceuticals: A review

Antibody-based therapeutic agents and other biopharmaceuticals are now used in the treatment of many diseases. However, when these biopharmaceuticals are administrated to patients, an immune reaction may occur that can reduce the drug's efficacy and lead to adverse side-effects. The immunogenicity of biopharmaceuticals can be evaluated by detecting and measuring antibodies that have been produced against these drugs, or antidrug antibodies. Methods for antidrug antibody detection and analysis can be important during the selection of a therapeutic approach based on such drugs and is crucial when developing and testing new biopharmaceuticals. This review examines approaches that have been used for antidrug antibody detection, measurement, and characterization. Many of these approaches are based on immunoassays and antigen binding tests, including homogeneous mobility shift assays. Other techniques that have been used for the analysis of antidrug antibodies are capillary electrophoresis, reporter gene assays, surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy, and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. The general principles of each approach will be discussed, along with their recent applications with regards to antidrug antibody analysis.

Application of a rapid screening method to detect irradiated meat in Brazil

Based on the enormous potential for food irradiation in Brazil, and to ensure free consumer choice, there is a need to find a convenient and rapid method for detection of irradiated food. Since treatment with ionising radiation causes DNA fragmentation, the analysis of DNA damage might be promising. In this paper, the DNA Comet Assay was used to identify exotic meat (boar, jacaré and capybara), irradiated with ⁶⁰Co gamma rays. The applied radiation doses were 0, 1.5, 3.0 and 4.5 kGy. Analysis of the DNA migration enabled a rapid identification of the radiation treatment.     

Development of an on-line automated sample clean-up method and liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry analysis: application in an in vitro proteolytic assay

Fluorescence detection has been a method of choice in industry for screening assays, including identification of enzyme inhibitors, owing to its high-throughput capabilities, excellent reproducibility, and sensitivity. Occasionally, inhibitors are identified that challenge the fluorescence assay limit, necessitating the development of more sensitive detection methods to assess these compounds. For data mining purposes, however, original assay conditions may be required. A direct method transfer to highly sensitive and specific LC-MS-based methods has not always been possible due to the presence of MS-incompatible neutral detergents and non-volatile salts in the assay matrix. Utilizing an in vitro proteolytic screening assay for the serine protease hepatitis C virus (HCV) nonstructural (NS) 3 protease as a test case, we report the development of an automated sample clean-up procedure implemented on-line with liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analysis to complement fluorescence detection. Ion exchange and peptide microtraps were employed to remove MS-incompatible assay matrix components. Three protease inhibitors were used to validate the MS/MS method. Comparable potencies were achieved for these compounds when assessed by fluorescence and MS/MS detection. Furthermore, four-fold less enzyme could be utilized when employing the MS/MS method compared to fluorescence detection. The longer analysis time, however, resulted in reduced sample capacity. The potency of our designed HCV NS3 protease inhibitors are thus routinely evaluated using a continuous fluorescence-based assay. Only pertinent inhibitors approaching the fluorescence assay sensitivity limit are subsequently analyzed further by LC-MS/MS. This methodology allows us to maintain a database and to compare results independent of the detection method. Despite the relatively slow sample turnaround time of this LC-MS approach, the versatility of the automated on-line clean-up procedure and sample analysis can be applied to assays containing reagents which were historically considered to be MS incompatible.     

Effect of hapten structures on specific and sensitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays for N-methylcarbamate insecticide metolcarb

Five different haptens of the N-methylcarbamate insecticide metolcarb were designed and synthesized. All of the haptens were conjugated with ovalbumin (OVA) for the coating antigen, and one hapten containing all of the structure of metolcarb was conjugated with bovine serum albumin (BSA) for the immunogen. Two polyclonal antisera were raised against the BSA conjugate, and ten antibody/coating conjugate combinations were selected for studies of assay sensitivity and specificity for metolcarb. A class-specific combination was found, with the I₅₀ of the assay ranged from 0.64 to 20.98 μg mL⁻¹ for seven tested N-methylcarbamate insecticides except for pirimicarb. Considering titer, I₅₀ and cross-reactivity of all combinations of antibody/coating conjugate, a competitive indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in a homologous system, whose limit of detection (LoD) reached 1.4 ng mL⁻¹, was presented. The results of competitive ELISAs indicated that coating hapten structure can significantly affect not only assay sensitivity but also its specificity.     

一种基于纳米二氧化硅增强凝集反应的压电免疫传感器

本文提出了一种基于抗体包被纳米粒子的简单快速的压电免疫凝集法,用于蛋白质检测。该方法原理是利用羊抗人IgG（G-anti-hIgG）包被的二氧化硅（或金）纳米粒子和人IgG（hIgG）发生免疫凝集反应而使得压电晶体频率发生改变进行测定。当凝集反应发生时,修饰在探针表面的G-anti-hIgG通过hIgG与G-anti-hIgG包被的纳米粒子结合,将质量效应和粘弹性因素叠加作用于压电晶体。结果表明这使得背景值大幅减小而信号明显增强。另外,对修饰后了抗体及结合免疫复合物的探针表面进行了SEM表征,对使用聚乙二醇作为增敏剂和实验最佳离子强度、pH值进行了优化选择。该传感器检测hIgG线性范围是0.26-16.7 mg mL-1,最低检出限为84 ng mL-1。

Development of liposomal immunosensor for the measurement of insulin with femtomole detection

The monitoring of insulin is of great relevance for the management of diabetes, the detection of pancreatic islet-cell malfunction, the definition of hypoglycemia, and the diagnosis of insulinoma. A liposomal immunosensing system for the determination of insulin was developed in this study. The insulin sensor was constructed by the immobilization of anti-insulin antibodies on the inner wall of the microcapillary immunoseparator. Liposomes tagged with anti-insulin and encapsulating a fluorescent dye were used as the detectable label. In the presence of insulin, sandwich immunocomplexes were formed between the immobilized antibodies in the column, the sample of insulin, and the antibody-tagged sulforhodamine B-dye-loaded liposomes. Signals generated by lysing the bound liposomes with 30 mM n-octyl-β-d-glucopyranoside were measured by a fluorescence detector. The detected signal was directly proportional to the amount of insulin in the test sample. The liposomal immunosensing system successfully detected as low as 136 attomole. MeOH (30%) was used for the regeneration of antibody-binding sites in the microcapillary after each measurement, which allowed the immunoseparator to be used for at least 70 repeated assays. The antibody activity in this proposed microcapillary immunoseparator could be well maintained for at least 1 week. The calibration curve for insulin in Tris-buffered saline had a linear dynamic range of 10 pM-10 nM, and the total assay time was less than 30 min. The coefficient of variation for triplicate measurements was <5.00%, which indicated that well-reproducible results can be obtained by this newly developed method.
