Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) is widely used for antigen-antibody interaction kinetics analysis. However, it has not been used in the screening phase because of the low throughput of measurement and analysis. Herein, we proposed a high-throughput SPR analysis system named "BreviA" using the Brevibacillus expression system. Brevibacillus was transformed using a plasmid library containing various antibody sequences, and single colonies were cultured in 96-well plates. Sequence analysis was performed using bacterial cells, and recombinant antibodies secreted in the supernatant were immobilized on a sensor chip to analyze their interactions with antigens using high-throughput SPR. Using this system, the process from the transformation to 384 interaction analyses can be performed within a week. This system utility was tested using an interspecies specificity design of an anti-human programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) antibody. A plasmid library containing alanine and tyrosine mutants of all complementarity-determining region residues was generated. A high-throughput SPR analysis was performed against human and mouse PD-1, showing that the mutation in the specific region enhanced the affinity for mouse PD-1. Furthermore, deep mutational scanning of the region revealed two mutants with > 100-fold increased affinity for mouse PD-1, demonstrating the potential efficacy of antibody design using data-driven approach.
表面等离子体共振(SPR)广泛用于抗原-抗体相互作用动力学分析。然而,由于测量和分析的通量低,它尚未在筛选阶段使用。在此,我们使用短芽孢杆菌表达系统提出了一种名为“BreviA”的高通量 SPR 分析系统。使用含有各种抗体序列的质粒文库转化短芽孢杆菌,然后在 96 孔板中培养单个菌落。使用细菌细胞进行序列分析,并将上清液中分泌的重组抗体固定在传感器芯片上,以使用高通量 SPR 分析它们与抗原的相互作用。使用该系统,可以在一周内完成从转化到 384 次相互分析的过程。该系统的实用性通过抗人程序性细胞死亡蛋白 1(PD-1)抗体的种间特异性设计进行了测试。生成了包含所有互补决定区残基的丙氨酸和酪氨酸突变体的质粒文库。对人源和鼠源 PD-1 进行高通量 SPR 分析,结果表明该特异性区域的突变增强了对鼠源 PD-1 的亲和力。此外,该区域的深度突变扫描揭示了两个突变体对鼠源 PD-1 的亲和力增加了 100 倍以上,这表明使用数据驱动方法进行抗体设计具有潜在的疗效。
