Phage display selections are an iterative process

  • A selectable phenotype is linked to a

genotype by inserting a displayed protein into the phage genome. In this case a large library of random antibody sequences. (Click any key to continue)

VL VH RBS VH CH GIII

  • The library is queried by exposure to the

antigen of interest. Antibodies which stick, carry phage that code for them. Others are washed away, enriching the remaining phage for specific binding.

  • The genotypes of the antibodies

are rescued by infecting E. coli with the phage.

  • New Phage are produced and the

cycle is repeated

  • After 2-3 rounds, the antibodies

are produced in soluble form, assayed, and hits are chosen

  • An antigen is immobilized to a

surface.

First Protocol – 24 Well Transfections

  • IgG conversions of antibodies from phage display
  • DNA combined with fectin reagent and media on Bravo
  • Plate incubates in plate hotel
  • Cells (1ml) come out of incubator and go to Hamilton
  • DNA is distributed to four 24 well plates on Hamilton
  • Cells get put back into incubator
  • Process repeats
  • Once finished all cells go into a shaking incubator for

five days

SLIDE 10

Second Protocol – 24 Well Harvest

  • Cells come out of shaking incubator and go back into

BioCel incubator after five days

  • Four 24 well plates get reformatted back into a 96 well

deep well block on Hamilton

  • 96 well deep well block gets spun down in centrifuge
  • Supernatant gets pulled off into a new storage plate on

Bravo

  • All plates get put away
  • Process repeats

Sequence and Yield Correlation

  • Sequences that binned

produced similar expression levels as IgG

  • Wells with no antibody have

sequences with stop codons

Transfection and Harvest Numbers

  • We have the capacity to process up to 5,000 clones a

week (~ 8 hour day)

  • ~ 3.5 hours/ 10 DNA plates transfection
  • ~ 2.5 hours/ 10 DNA plates harvest
  • We’ve processed just over 30,000 clones in the first

year of production

High Throughput Protein Purification

  • Unpurified IgG supernatants are fine for some ELISA

and flow cytometry assays.

  • Purified IgGs are required to run in most functional

screens

  • There is a desire to have the capability to purify large

numbers of antibodies on a smaller volume scale than what is normally done by the protein purification group

slide-19
SLIDE 19

What do we need?

  • We need the ability to purify up to 5 mL of IgG or Fab

supernatants with a minimum output of 10 μg.

  • The method should be plate based in 96 well format to

be able to be truly high throughput.

  • The method should be endotoxin free.
  • The method should be reasonably inexpensive.
