    Abstract The therapeutic use of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) ranges from cancer treatment to immune-mediated conditions, covering infectious and cardiovascular disorders, among others. The development of improved methods for therapeutic antibody discovery has accelerated the identification of numerous mAbs: a discovery campaign can be deeply mined, resulting in hundreds, even thousands, of potential antibody leads for a given target of interest. High throughput mAb expression and purification methods are required for the rapid validation of those leads. In this work, we describe the implementation of a Protein-A coated membrane plate system, the Purexa™ AHT membrane plate, for robust preparative purification of hundreds of recombinant mAbs, without the need for automation. The high efficiency (>80%) recovery generated sufficient mAb for downstream screening analyses such as ELISA and surface plasmon resonance (SPR). This new system allows the functional validation of hundreds of lead antibodies from discovery campaigns in a timely manner regardless of operational size.

    Abstract Schistosomiasis, a challenging neglected tropical disease, affects millions of people worldwide. Developing a prophylactic vaccine against Schistosoma mansoni has been hindered by the parasite's biological complexity. In this study, we utilized the innovative phage-display immunoprecipitation followed by a sequencing approach (PhIP-Seq) to screen the immune response of 10 infected rhesus macaques during self-cure and challenge-resistant phases, identifying vaccine candidates. Our high-throughput S. mansoni synthetic DNA phage-display library encoded 99.6% of 119,747 58-mer peptides, providing comprehensive coverage of the parasite's proteome. Library screening with rhesus macaques' antibodies, from the early phase of establishment of parasite infection, identified significantly enriched epitopes of parasite extracellular proteins known to be expressed in the digestive tract, shifting towards intracellular proteins during the late phase of parasite clearance. Immunization of mice with a selected pool of PhIP-Seq-enriched phage-displayed peptides from MEG proteins, cathepsins B, and asparaginyl endopeptidase significantly reduced worm burden in a vaccination assay. These findings enhance our understanding of parasite-host immune responses and provide promising prospects for developing an effective schistosomiasis vaccine.

    Abstract Endothelial heterogeneity has important implications in health and disease. Molecular markers selectively expressed in the vasculature of different organs and tissues are currently being explored in targeted therapies with promising results in preclinical and clinical studies. Noteworthy is the role that combinatorial approaches such as phage display have had in identifying such markers by using phage as nanoparticles and surrogates for billions of different peptides, screening noninvasively the vascular lumen for binding sites. Here, we show that a new peptide motif that emerged from such combinatorial screening of the vasculature binds selectively to blood vessels in the brain in vivo but not to vessels in other organs. Peptides containing a conserved motif in which amino acids Phenylalanine-Arginine-Tryptophan (FRW) predominate could be visualized by transmission electron microscopy bound to the junctions between endothelial cells in all areas of the brain, including the optic nerve, but not in other barrier-containing tissues, such as intestines and testis. Remarkably, peptides containing the motif do not bind to vessels in the retina, implying an important molecular difference between these two vascular barriers. Furthermore, the peptide allows for in vivo imaging, demonstrating that new tools for studying and imaging the brain are likely to emerge from this motif.
