RESUMO

This paper reports a superiority of the asymmetric electric field formed in the rectangle microwell array for the electrofusion of splenocytes and myeloma cells with different diameters. The upper substrate with microband electrodes was mounted on the lower substrate with the microwell array. Two electrodes were arranged at the both sides of the microwells on the bottom surface. An attractive force of positive dielectrophoresis was employed to capture splenocytes with smaller diameter and myeloma cells with larger diameter at the right and left of microwells by applying AC electric field. The splenocytes and myeloma cells were fused by the asymmetric electric field that was generated in the microwells by applying DC electric pulse to the bottom electrode at the right side. The asymmetric field could allow to the formation of small openings on the membrane for the fusion of smaller splenocytes by experiencing higher field and the suppression for the disruption of larger myeloma cells by experiencing lower field.

RESUMO

It is quite difficult to generate monoclonal antibodies that recognize the three-dimensional structures of the antigens of interest. To address this limitation, we developed a new hybridoma technology termed "optimized stereospecific targeting (SST)". Here we aimed at generating stereospecific monoclonal antibodies against a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR). The optimized SST technique enabled the efficient production of conformation-specific monoclonal antibodies against human corticotropin-releasing hormone receptor 1 (huCRHR1). Hybridoma cells secreting stereospecific monoclonal antibodies were selectively cloned by a limiting dilution method and the target monoclonal antibodies were purified by protein A column chromatography. They specifically cross-reacted with native huCRHR1 expressed on the surface of CHO cells, whereas they showed no affinity for MDA-MB-231 cancer cells, which abundantly express EphA2 on the cell surface. Furthermore, immunofluorescence analysis revealed that treatment of huCRHR1-expressing CHO cells with 4% paraformaldehyde led to a decrease in the affinity of purified monoclonal antibodies for intact huCRHR1 on the cell surface. In addition, purified monoclonal antibodies showed no cross-reactivity with huCRHR1 expressed on Sf9 insect cells. These results strongly suggest that monoclonal antibodies generated by the optimized SST technique feature specific binding to the intact form of the target GPCR on mammalian cells.

RESUMO

High priority stereospecific targeting (SST) featuring selective production of conformation-specific monoclonal antibodies was directed against a native receptor, EphA2 (ephrin type-A receptor 2). A critical point for this technology is selection of sensitized B lymphocytes by antigen-expressing myeloma cells through their B-cell receptors (BCRs). The essential point is that antigens expressed on myeloma cells retain their original three dimensional structures and only these are recognized. Immunization with recombinant plasmid vectors as well as antigen-expressing CHO cells elicits enhanced sensitization of target B lymphocytes generating stereospecific antibodies. More than 24% of hybridoma-positive wells were identified to be cell-ELISA positive, confirming high efficiency. IgG-typed conformation-specific monoclonal antibodies could be also produced by the SST technique. Immunofluorescence analysis confirmed specific binding of sensitized B lymphocytes to antigen-expressing myeloma cells. Furthermore, stereospecific monoclonal antibodies to EphA2 specifically recognized EphA2-expressing cancer cells as demonstrated by Cell-ELISA. In the present study, we were able to develop priority technology for selective production of conformation-specific monoclonal antibodies against an intact receptor EphA2, known to be overexpressed by epithelial tumor cells of multiple cancer types.

RESUMO

Attention to therapeutic monoclonal antibodies has been dramatically increasing year by year. Their highly specific targeting of antigens can provide very effective medical treatment, and the advent of molecular-targeting medicine is allowing development of a new generation of therapeutic agents. However, there is one critical obstacle to overcome. Most of the established therapeutic monoclonal antibodies have specificity for the primary structures of target antigens, although all proteins harbor original native intact structures for their own specific functions. Stereo-specific monoclonal antibodies recognizing conformational structures of target antigens may thus offer a markedly more versatile approach. Their application may change the very concepts underlying use of therapeutic antibodies.
