Definitions
- One of the central problems in cell biology and medicine relates to the inability to monitor protein, lipids, sugars and metabolite levels and their modifications in the single living cell.
- a variety of technologies have been employed to improve the sensitivity of detecting these molecules.
- PCR polymerase chain reaction
- U.S. Patent 5,665,539 immuno-detection methods
- This technology termed immuno-PCR, provides an extremely sensitive method to detect proteins .
- a linker molecule with bi-specific binding affinity for DNA and antibody is used to attach a marker DNA molecule specifically to an antigen-antibody complex, thus resulting in the formation of a specific antigen- antibody-DNA conjugate.
- the attached marker DNA can be amplified by PCR with the appropriate primers. As described in U.S.
- Patent 5,665,539 antigen is immobilized on the surface of microtiter plates and subsequently detected by immuno-PCR. Using this technique, an approximately 10 5 increase in sensitivity over an alkaline phosphatase conjugated ELISA was obtained. Sensitivity advantages of immuno-PCR have subsequently been confirmed in assays for mouse anti-lipoprotein IgG (Ruzicka et al . Science 1993 260:698-699); a human proto-oncogene protein (Zhou et al . Nucleic Acid Res. 1993 21:6038-6039); and tumor necrosis factor alpha (Sanna et al . Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. 1995 92:272-275) .
- a biotinylated second monoclonal antibody is bound to the antigen and free streptavidin is used to attach a biotinylated DNA to the second monoclonal antibody.
- the biotinylated DNA complexed with antigen-antibody-streptavidin is amplified by PCR.
- the products are then analyzed by Southern blot analysis .
- immuno-PCR techniques have provided advantages over traditional methods of protein detection such as an increase in sensitivity, there still exist several notable limitations to their use.
- One of the major limitations of immuno-PCR lies in the non-linear amplification ability of PCR reaction. There is no direct correlation between the amount of signal and the amount of protein present. Thus, this technique is limited as a quantitative detection method.
- U.S. Patent 5,922,553 discloses a method for quantifying levels of a selected protein via a technique referred to as immuno-aRNA.
- a first antibody targeted to a selected protein is immobilized to a solid support.
- the support is then contacted with the selected protein so that the selected protein is immobilized to the first antibody.
- the solid support is then contacted with a RNA promoter-driven cDNA sequence covalently coupled to a second antibody targeted to the selected protein so that the second antibody binds to the bound selected protein.
- the amount of selected protein is determined by quantifying levels of the promoter driven cDNA sequence covalently coupled to the bound second antibody via an amplified RNA technique.
- a T7 promoter driven cDNA sequence is covalently coupled to the second antibody.
- single chain fragments as well as exocyclic peptide based complementarity determining region (CDR) subunits can be used in this immuno-aRNA technique.
- PCR as well as amplified RNA techniques, can be used to quantify the promoter driven cDNA sequence covalently coupled to the bound single chain fragment or CDR subunit.
- a single third detector species can be coupled with double-stranded DNA and bound to either the single chain Fv or the CDRs, rendering detection uniform and simple. This is referred to herein as a universal detector.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a method for detecting molecules expressing a selected epitope in a sample.
- an epitope anchor specific for a selected epitope is immobilized to a selected surface.
- the epitope anchor may comprise a single chain Fv fragment, a CDR, an antibody, or other ligand peptide or chemical or pharmaceutical that interacts with a selected epitope.
- the surface is then contacted with a sample suspected of containing molecules which express the selected epitope so that the molecules bind to the immobilized epitope anchor.
- An epitope detector comprising a single chain Fv for the selected epitope or a constrained epitope specific CDR attached to an oligonucleotide is then used to detect any bound molecules.
- the single chain Fv or the CDR has been modified to allow for attachment of oligonucleotides to a single site.
- the method of the present invention can be performed with an epitope anchor.
- the epitope detector is employed to define molecules bound directly to a surface.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide systems for the detection of molecules expressing a selected epitope.
- These systems of the present invention comprise an epitope anchor specific for a selected epitope, a selected surface on which the epitope is or can be immobilized, and an epitope detector comprising a single chain Fv for the selected epitope or a constrained epitope specific CDR attached to an oligonucleotide.
- the single chain Fv or the constrained epitope specific CDR is modified to allow for attachment of the oligonucleotides.
- kits for the detection of molecules expressing a selected epitope which comprise an epitope anchor specific for a selected epitope and an epitope detector comprising a single chain Fv for the selected epitope or a constrained epitope specific CDR attached to an oligonucleotide.
- the single chain Fv or the constrained epitope specific CDR is modified to allow for attachment of the oligonucleotides.
- the present invention relates to improved methods for quantifying levels of a selected molecule and systems and kits for performing these improved methods .
- the method comprises binding an epitope anchor specific for a selected epitope of the molecule to a selected surface.
- the epitope anchor may comprise a single chain Fv fragment, a CDR, an antibody, or other ligand peptide or chemical specific for a selected epitope.
- the epitope anchor is bound to a designated spot on the surface.
- the surface may comprise a chip and the epitope anchor is bound to a defined spot on the chip.
- the epitope anchor is deposited onto a surface or plate with the aid of a pipettor or similar device which permits application at a single site.
- the surface with the bound epitope anchor is then contacted with a sample suspected of containing molecules expressing the selected epitope so that the molecule binds to the epitope anchor.
- the molecule is attached to a surface directly, without the use of an epitope anchor.
- samples which can be assayed via the methods of the present invention include, but are not limited to, individual cells and solutions including biological fluids such as serum.
- An epitope detector which can bind to any bound molecule on the surface is then used to detect and quantify the amount of bound molecule.
- the epitope detector comprises a single chain Fv for the selected epitope or a constrained epitope specific CDR which have been modified to allow for attachment of oligonucleotides at a single site.
- Fv fragments for selected epitopes can be produced in cells or on microorganisms by use of recombinant DNA technology.
- Skerra and Pluckthun (Science 1988 240:1038-1041) describe an expression system for production of functional Fv fragments in E. coli .
- a method for producing Fv fragments in eukaryotic host cells with a eukaryotic expression vector which has an operon having a DNA sequence which encodes the variable domain only of an antibody light or heavy chain has also been described (J. Mol. Biol . 1988 203:825-828). Chains of the Fv fragment are secreted and correctly assembled by the host cell such that fully functional Fv fragments are produced in the culture supernatant.
- the DNA coding sequence may be altered toward its 5' end so that the amino terminal end expresses a residue or residues with a surface suitable for covalent coupling of an oligonucleotide.
- the 3' terminal end may be varied so that cysteine residues are produced towards the C-terminal end of each variable domain permitting the variable domains in the dimer to become linked together by disulphide bonding. This may also promote assembly of the Fv fragment.
- the Fv fragment may be stabilized by use of a vector having a first DNA sequence encoding a first variable domain and a second DNA sequence encoding a second variable domain, the first and second sequences being linked by a third DNA sequence which encodes a joining peptide sequence.
- the joining peptide sequence is sufficiently long and flexible to allow folding of the two polypeptides into a functional single chain Fv.
- the host cell is a myeloma cell line which, prior to transformation, does not secrete whole antibody or light chains.
- myeloma cell line which, prior to transformation, does not secrete whole antibody or light chains.
- Such cells lines are well known and widely available (Reichmann et al . J. Mol. Biol. 1988 203:825-828) .
- CDRs comprises a 6 to 15 mer peptide constrained to be cyclic and modified by aromatic residues .
- An important step in the design of conformationally constrained peptides for use in the present invention is the delineation of the residues that are important for activity.
- Hruby (Life Sci. 1982 31:189-199) describes the synthesis of a large number of amino acid and dipeptide derivatives with built-in conformational constraints, as well as their incorporation into biologically active peptides.
- Prasad et al . (Biopolymers 1995 35:11-20) also describes a method of constraining the conformation of an amino acid unit by replacing the hydrogen atom at the ⁇ -carbon with a methyl group to produce a dialkylamino acid.
- U.S. Patent 6,022,523 describes a method that restricts the conformational freedom of amino acids by introducing a double-bond at the C- ⁇ and C- ⁇ atoms.
- Another means for constraining peptides involves introduction of covalent cross-links. Constraining the peptide backbone by introduction of covalent cross-links provides more dramatic effects than incorporating unusual amino acids. Macrocyclization is often accomplished by forming an amide bond between the peptide N- and C-termini, between a side chain and the N or C terminus, or between two side chains.
- the enkephalin analogs described by Schiller provide an example of side- chain to backbone covalent cyclization in which covalent attachment of the e-amino group of the D-lys residue to the C terminal backbone carboxylate group of Leu produces a cyclic 16-membered ring analog with high potency and significant ⁇ receptor selectivity (Schiller et al . Int. J. Pep. Prot. Res. 1985; 25:171-177). BOP-reagent and carboimide/1-hydroxy-benzotriazole combinations have also been reported to be useful in the formation of cyclic peptides (Felix, A.M. Int. J. Pep. Prot. Res. 1988 31:231- 238). Degrado et al . have also developed a biologically active cyclized peptide analog of the GP Ilb/IIIa complex using m-aminomethylbenzoic acid as the linker (U.S. Patent 6,022,523) .
- Disulphides can also be formed by oxidation via introduction of cysteine at certain positions .
- Romani, S. (Int. J. Pep. Prot. Res. 1987 29:107- 117) demonstrated that non-symmetrical disulphides can be built with the help of the di-tertbutyl aster of azodicarboxylic acid.
- Ploux, 0. (Int. J. Pep. Prot. Res. 1987 29:162-169) also describes a method for formation of non-symmetrical disulphides via thiol displacement of the 3S-3-nitro-2-pyridinesulfenyl group.
- the oligonucleotide comprises a T7 promoter driven cDNA sequence so that it can be amplified using T7 RNA polymerase.
- double stranded cDNA is synthesized for use as a template for T7 RNA polymerase transcription.
- T7 RNA polymerase requires its promoter site to be double stranded.
- the site on the Fv or CDR to which the oligonucleotides are attached comprises a series of residues which allow the attachment of linkers consisting of chemicals such as heterodimeric coupling reagents or other linkers. These residues provide a uniform binding site for the linker attachment.
- the linkers attach to this site and also links oligonucleotides to the Fv or CDR.
- Oligonucleotides may be unmodified or modified.
- the presence of the amplified oligonucleotide can be enhanced by incorporating a beacon or fluorescent labeled oligonucleotide into the mixture allowing for rapid semi quantitative assessment of the epitope expressing molecules (Tan et al . , Chemistry Eur. J. 2000 6(7):1107- 1111; Leone et al . , Nucleic Acids Res. 1998 26(9):2150- 2155) .
- Bound epitope detectors may be quantified by methods such as amplification by conventional PCR or aRNA techniques. If the detection method used is immuno aRNA, double-stranded oligonucleotides are used in the epitope detector.
- aRNA is transcribed on the solid support using a polymerase which recognizes a specific promoter such as T7 RNA polymerase, T3 RNA polymerase or SP6 RNA polymerase, unlabeled ribonucleotides, and fluorescently labeled ribonucleotides.
- T7 RNA polymerase T3 RNA polymerase or SP6 RNA polymerase
- unlabeled ribonucleotides unlabeled ribonucleotides
- fluorescently labeled ribonucleotides fluorescently labeled ribonucleotides.
- the aRNA is detectably labeled such as with a radioactive label or a fluorescent label.
- the aRNA can
- Fvs and CDR peptides as the epitope detector renders this method useful in identifying larger polypeptides than can be identified by the immuno-aRNA technique of U.S. Patent 5,922,553, as well as in identifying motifs in supernatants, fluids, extracts of cells or bacteria or any other eukaryotic organism. Accordingly, the method of the present invention has widespread applicability in both medicinal and research purposes. Further, the method of the present invention is more sensitive than currently available methods and provides quantitative results . The ability of Fvs and CDR peptides to serve as epitope detectors of selected molecules in the method of the present invention was demonstrated for the pl85 receptor.
- 7.16.4 ScFv single chain Fv construct of 7.16.4 (designated as 7.16.4 ScFv) was produced in accordance with the procedure outlined by Peterson & Greene (DNA and Cell Biology 1998 17 (12) : 1031- 1040) wherein the Fv region of the heavy chain and light chain region was joined by a (gly4-Ser)5 linker. Since ScFv7.16.4 contained a poly-histidine tag, it was purified over Ni-NTA resin. After purification, the binding of 7.16.4ScFv was confirmed by FACS analysis on B104-1-1 cells, in both direct binding and competitive binding against the monoclonal antibody 7.16.4.
- AHNP a constrained exocyclic peptide designed from the CDR3.H region of the anti-human pl85 antibody 4D5 was also used. AHNP binds to pl85 and mimics the growth- inhibitory effects of 4D5 (Park et al . Nature Biotechnology 2000 18:194-198) .
- Both ScFv7.16.4 and AHNP were coupled to a double- stranded oligonucleotide (ds-oligo) to form epitope detectors.
- ds-oligo double- stranded oligonucleotide
- Both ds-oligo coupled 7.16.4ScFv and AHNP were able to detect their antigens, rat pl85neu from B104-1-1 cells and human pl85her2/neu from T6-17 cells, respectively. Further, conjugation with the ds-oligo to form the epitope detector did not change the binding affinity of the CDR detection molecules with their antigens as determined by plasmon resonance analysis. Since
- 7.16.4ScFv and mAb 7.16.4 have comparable binding affinity against the pl85 receptor, they were used at comparable molar concentration in this assay. However, ANHP was used at a higher concentration since its affinity is lower against pl85Her2/neu than 4D5.
- the Fv or CDR contains a general or universal epitope such as an he agglutinin HA tag or polyhistidine tag.
- a general or universal epitope is the poly-His-tag in the 7.16.4ScFv initially designed for the purification of the protein.
- a single monoclonal antibody or single chain Fv coupled with ds-DNA is then used to bind to the general epitope to create a universal epitope detector.
- the efficacy of a universal epitope detector in the method of the present invention was demonstrated with the poly-His-tag in the 7.16.4ScFv.
- pl85 receptors were captured by All coated on the plate, free 7.16.4ScFv was added, followed by extensive washing and then incubating with ds-oligo conjugated anti-His antibody. After T7 polymerase amplification, specific bands from lysates of 10" 6 dilution of the cells were detected. Accordingly, this sensitivity was even higher than that seen with the basic protocol without a universal epitope detector.
- the method of the present invention is also useful in the detection of post-translation modifications.
- PCR and aRNA techniques were originally developed to detect the activity of target genes at the DNA level. These methods have been adopted exclusively in the application of genomics research, sometimes combined with hybridization. Regardless of sensitivity, these methods are not able to detect the post-translation modification at the protein level. Monitoring of such events, however, is very critical since many modifications including, but not limited to, phosphorylation and glycosylation are related to the functional status of the protein. Thus, experiments were performed to demonstrate the ability of the method of the present invention to detect the phosphorylation of the pl85 receptor induced by EGF treatment.
- a signaling model was established in which, upon EGF stimulation, EGFR heterodimerizes with and trans-activates pl85, resulting in the phosphorylation of tyrosine residues on the pl85 receptor (Qian et al . Proc . Natl Acad. Sci. 1994 91:1500- 1504) .
- the A431 cell line which overexpresses EGFR as well as pl85 erbB2 , was used in these experiments.
- the pl85 receptor in the cell lysate was captured by 1E1, a monoclonal antibody developed against pl85erB2/neu.
- PY99 an IgG2b type of anti-phosphorylated Tyr antibody, was used to detect phosphorylated receptors.
- A431 cells stimulated with EGF produced a positive band, which was not observed in cells without EGF treatment.
- T6-17 cells also showed a positive band, indicating constitutive phospho-tyrosine on the pl85 receptor.
- the present invention provides a sensitive detection method which eliminates concerns about the non- quantitative nature of immuno-PCR techniques and which offers vast potential in the field of proteomics.
- a polymerase which recognizes a specific promoter such as T7 RNA polymerase, T3 RNA polymerase or SP6 RNA polymerase as well as the specific promoter in the amplification step
- assays performed in accordance with this method possess linear amplification and precise quantification which are relevant to biological and medical assays.
- the number of factors that affect the sensitivity of detection have also been reduced.
- the specific binding between antigens and their Fv or monovalent CDR is the only critical parameter of this method.
- any cellular antigens can be detected without having been first coupled to a monoclonal antibody with ds-oligo. Without the universal probe, the method would only be useful in looking at one or several particular antigens at a time.
- the universal probe allows for the detection of any cellular or fluid residing antigen with available Fvs or CDRs .
- different proteins can be detected simultaneously in a single electrophoresis lane when oligonucleotides of different sizes are attached to the Fv or CDR of the epitope detector.
- the method of the present invention provides a versatile technique that is applicable in the identification of protein antigens as well as post-translational modification of polypeptides and other structures such as sugars or lipids at the single cell level of detection. It is believed that this method will also be useful in the analysis of protein interactions and the detection of small molecules.
- ligand peptides can be used as epitope detectors on tissue samples to identify the expression of specific receptors, or verse visa.
- Fvs, CDRs, or binding proteins small molecules such as toxins or drug metabolites, can be detected in any solution including, but not limited to, water, foods, and body fluids .
- polypeptides, organic molecules or sugar structures can be determined by computer aided analysis of data bases using the binding of several epitopes by Fvs as a guide. For example, binding by Fv a, d, e, and f would identify a sugar molecule as having side chains a, d, e, and f, and hence belonging to a family of sugars having these same side chains. In this way the present invention allows definition and identification of many, if not all molecules in a cell at any one particular time. Moreover this approach can be used to identify alternative transcriptional forms translated in an active cell or cellular supernatant . This procedure is easily amenable to 1) use with nonradioactive detection methods, 2) microtized liquid handling procedures, 3) low sample volume detection such as "protein chip” analysis and 4) robotization.
