    Abstract The specific recognition and binding of biological molecules by antibodies is fundamentally important. Natural antibodies are multivalent, having at least two identical ligand-binding sites; this permits them to bind tightly at cell surfaces, which present multiple copies of their target ligands. Antibodies that bind to soluble monovalent ligands, such as most small molecules, do not share this multivalent advantage. Nor do engineered fragments of antibodies, such as single-chain Fv proteins or Fab fragments, which generally possess only a single ligand-binding site. Engineered monovalent antibody/ligand pairs that retain the binding specificity of the antibody, but do not dissociate, are promising components of new delivery systems. These are based on a combination of genetic manipulation of the protein and chemical synthesis of appropriate ligands, examples of which are reviewed here.

    Abstract For experiments using synthetic ligands as probes for biological experiments, it is useful to determine the specificity and affinity of the ligands for their receptors. As ligands with higher affinities are developed (K(A)>10(8)M(-1); K(D)<10(-8)M), a new challenge arises: to measure these values accurately. Isothermal titration calorimetry measures heat produced or consumed during ligand binding, and also provides the equilibrium binding constant. However, as normally practiced, its range is limited. Displacement titration, where a competing weaker ligand is used to lower the apparent affinity of the stronger ligand, can be used to determine the binding affinity as well as the complete thermodynamic data for ligand-antibody complexes with very high affinity. These equilibrium data have been combined with kinetic measurements to yield the rate constants as well. We describe this methodology, using as an example antibody 2D12.5, which captures yttrium S-2-(4-aminobenzyl)-1, 4, 7, 10-tetraazacyclododecanetetraacetate.

    Abstract Antibodies with infinite affinity were developed with the aim of improving targeted delivery of metal complexes to sites of disease. This is part of a series of chemical technology developments for biomedical imaging and therapy. Using a combination of genetics and chemical synthesis, it addresses challenges in developing proteins that specifically bind synthetic molecules and do not release them. The result is a set of reagents that promise to capture any of a large variety of metallic elements under physiological conditions and hold them for long periods of time.

    Abstract We describe a technique to determine sites on proteins involved in protein-DNA interactions. DNA was synthesized via polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to produce four polynucleotide products with phosphorothioate nucleotides at the A, T, G, or C residues. Limited conjugation with the chemical protease FeBABE results in the surface of DNA being randomly labeled at the phosphorothioate sites with this protein-cleaving reagent. After formation of a protein-DNA complex, the proteolytic DNA can be activated to cleave the protein backbone at sites near the DNA. This technique was used to study the bacterial RNA polymerase/lacUV5 DNA open promoter complex, about which significant structural information is available. Cleavage sites on the two largest subunits of RNA polymerase, beta and beta', agree well with a recent model based on the crystal structure of the core enzyme alpha(2)betabeta' [Naryshkin, N., Revyakin, A., Kim, Y., Mekler, V., and Ebright, R. H. (2000) Cell 101, 601-611]. The cleavage site present on alpha supports previous studies regarding DNA binding regions of the alpha subunit. Cleavage sites identified throughout the sigma(70) subunit help to orient it with respect to the open promoter complex.

    Abstract (89)Zr (t1/2=78.4h), a positron-emitting metal, has been exploited for PET studies of antibodies because of its relatively long decay time and facile labeling procedures. Here, we used (89)Zr to evaluate the pharmacokinetics of long-circulating liposomes over 168h (1week). We first developed a liposomal-labeling method using p-isothiocyanatobenzyl-desferrioxamine (df-Bz-NCS) and df-PEG1k-DSPE. Df-Bz-NCS was conjugated to 1mol% amino- and amino-PEG2k-DSPE, where the 1mol% df-PEG1k-DSPE was incorporated when the liposomes were formulated. Incubation of (89)Zr with df, df-PEG1k, and df-PEG2k liposomes for one hour resulted in greater than 68% decay-corrected yield. The loss of the (89)Zr label from liposomes after incubation in 50% human serum for 48h ranged from ~1 to 3% across the three formulations. Tail vein administration of the three liposomal formulations in NDL tumor-bearing mice showed that the (89)Zr label at the end of the PEG2k brush was retained in the tumor, liver, spleen and whole body for a longer time interval than (89)Zr labels located under the PEG2k brush. The blood clearance rate of all three liposomal formulations was similar. Overall, the results indicate that the location of the (89)Zr label altered the clearance rate of intracellularly-trapped radioactivity and that df-PEG1k-DSPE provides a stable chelation site for liposomal or lipid-based particle studies over extended periods of time.

    Abstract Antibodies against metal chelates may potentially be used in biomedical applications such as targeted imaging and therapy of cancer. Highly specific monoclonal antibodies can be developed, but their binding strength needs to be maximized for them to be of practical use. In general, the half-life for dissociation of an antibody-ligand complex is more than an order of magnitude lower than the half-lifetimes for decay of medically useful radiometal ions. Practically speaking, the metal chelate-based ligand will not be bound to its receptor long enough for all of the bound radiometal to decay. A novel approach to this problem is a combination of synthetic chemistry and site-directed mutagenesis, to position a mildly reactive group on the metal chelate adjacent to a complementary reactive group on the antibody when the complex is formed. The partners are chosen to be sufficiently unreactive so that they coexist with other molecules in living systems without undergoing reaction. When the antibody-chelate complex is formed the effective local concentrations of the two groups can be non-physically large, so that a permanent link is formed in the complex even though no reaction occurs when the partners are free in solution.
