Abstract

Identification of antibody-binding epitopes is crucial to understand immunological mechanisms. It is of particular interest for allergenic proteins with high cross-reactivity as observed in the lipid transfer protein (LTP) syndrome, which is characterized by severe allergic reactions. Art v 3, a pollen LTP from mugwort, is frequently involved in this cross-reactivity, but no antibody-binding epitopes have been determined so far. To reveal human IgE-binding regions of Art v 3, we produced three murine high-affinity mAbs, which showed 70-90% coverage of the allergenic epitopes from mugwort pollen-allergic patients. As reliable methods to determine structural epitopes with tightly interacting intact antibodies under native conditions are lacking, we developed a straightforward NMR approach termed hydrogen/deuterium exchange memory (HDXMEM). It relies on the slow exchange between the invisible antigen-mAb complex and the free N-labeled antigen whose H-N correlations are detected. Due to a memory effect, changes of NH protection during antibody binding are measured. Differences in H/D exchange rates and analyses of mAb reactivity to homologous LTPs revealed three structural epitopes: two partially cross-reactive regions around α-helices 2 and 4 as well as a novel Art v 3-specific epitope at the C terminus. Protein variants with exchanged epitope residues confirmed the antibody-binding sites and revealed strongly reduced IgE reactivity. Using the novel HDXMEM for NMR epitope mapping allowed identification of the first structural epitopes of an allergenic pollen LTP. This knowledge enables improved cross-reactivity prediction for patients suffering from LTP allergy and facilitates design of therapeutics.

摘要

鉴定抗体结合表位对于理解免疫学机制至关重要。对于具有高度交叉反应性的变应原蛋白,如脂质转移蛋白(LTP)综合征中观察到的变应原蛋白,情况更是如此。LTP 是艾蒿花粉中的一种 LTP,经常涉及这种交叉反应,但迄今为止尚未确定抗体结合表位。为了揭示 Art v 3 的人 IgE 结合区域,我们生产了三种鼠源高亲和力 mAb,这些 mAb 对来自艾蒿花粉过敏患者的变应原表位有 70-90%的覆盖率。由于缺乏在天然条件下用紧密相互作用的完整抗体确定结构表位的可靠方法,我们开发了一种称为氢/氘交换记忆(HDXMEM)的简单 NMR 方法。它依赖于不可见的抗原-mAb 复合物与自由 N 标记的抗原之间的缓慢交换,其 H-N 相关被检测到。由于记忆效应,在抗体结合过程中 NH 保护的变化被测量。H/D 交换率的差异和对同源 LTP 的 mAb 反应性分析揭示了三个结构表位:围绕α螺旋 2 和 4 的两个部分交叉反应区域以及 C 末端的新 Art v 3 特异性表位。具有交换表位残基的蛋白变体证实了抗体结合位点,并显示出强烈降低的 IgE 反应性。使用新型 HDXMEM 进行 NMR 表位作图可鉴定出第一个变应原性花粉 LTP 的结构表位。这一知识可用于改善对 LTP 过敏患者的交叉反应预测,并促进治疗剂的设计。
