Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is a bioactive lysophospholipid that acts through its six cognate G protein-coupled receptors. As a family, lysophospholipids have already produced medicines (e.g., sphingosine 1-phosphate) as is being pursued for LPA through the use of specific antibodies that reduce ligand availability.
The binding properties of a commercially available, reportedly specific, monoclonal LPA antibody named 504B3 that is related to the clinical candidate Lpathomab/LT3015 were reexamined using a free solution assay (FSA) measured in a compensated interferometric reader (CIR).
Measurement of 504B3 binding properties with an FSA-CIR approach revealed similar binding affinities for 504B3 against LPA as well as the non-LPA lipids, phosphatidic acid (PA) and lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC).
Antibody binding specificity and sensitivity, particularly involving lipid ligands, can be assessed in solution and without labels using FSA-CIR. These findings could affect interpretations of both current and past basic and clinical studies employing 504B3 and related anti-LPA antibodies.
溶血磷脂酸(LPA)是一种具有生物活性的溶血磷脂,通过其六个同源 G 蛋白偶联受体发挥作用。作为一个家族,溶血磷脂已经产生了药物(例如,1-磷酸鞘氨醇),并且正在通过使用减少配体可用性的特异性抗体来追求 LPA。
使用补偿干涉仪读数器(CIR)测量的游离溶液测定法(FSA)重新检查了一种商业上可获得的、据称是特异性的单克隆 LPA 抗体 504B3 的结合特性,该抗体与临床候选药物 Lpathomab/LT3015 有关。
使用 FSA-CIR 方法测量 504B3 的结合特性表明,504B3 对 LPA 以及非 LPA 脂质,如磷脂酸(PA)和溶血磷脂酰胆碱(LPC)的结合亲和力相似。
抗体结合的特异性和敏感性,特别是涉及脂质配体,可以在溶液中使用 FSA-CIR 进行无标记评估。这些发现可能会影响当前和过去使用 504B3 和相关抗 LPA 抗体的基础和临床研究的解释。
