Delivery of therapeutic agents into the brain is a major challenge in central nervous system drug development. The blood–brain barrier (BBB) prevents access of biotherapeutics to their targets in the central nervous system and, therefore, prohibits the effective treatment of many neurological disorders. To find blood–brain barrier shuttle peptides that could target therapeutics to the brain, we applied a phage display technology on a primary endothelial rat cellular model. Two identified peptides from a 12 mer phage library, GLHTSATNLYLH and VAARTGEIYVPW, were selected and their permeability was validated using the in vitro BBB model. The permeability of peptides through the BBB was measured by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry coupled to a triple-quadrupole mass spectrometer (UHPLC-MS/MS). We showed higher permeability for both peptides compared to N–C reversed-sequence peptides through in vitro BBB: for peptide GLHTSATNLYLH 3.3 × 10−7 cm/s and for peptide VAARTGEIYVPW 1.5 × 10−6 cm/s. The results indicate that the peptides identified by the in vitro phage display technology could serve as transporters for the administration of biopharmaceuticals into the brain. Our results also demonstrated the importance of proper BBB model for the discovery of shuttle peptides through phage display libraries.

Specific, high affinity binding macromolecules are of great importance for biomedical and biotechnological applications. The most popular classical antibody-based molecules have recently been challenged by alternative scaffolds with desirable biophysical properties. Phage display technology applied to such scaffolds allows generation of potent affinity reagents by in vitro selection. Here, we report identification and characterization of a novel helical polypeptide with advantageous biophysical properties as a template for construction of phage display libraries. A three-helix bundle structure, based on Measles virus phosphoprotein P shows a very favourable stability and solubility profile. We designed, constructed and characterized six different types of phage display libraries based on the proposed template. Their functional size of over 10(9) independent clones, balanced codon bias and decent display level are key parameters attesting to the quality and utility of the libraries. The new libraries are a promising tool for isolation of high affinity binders based on a small helical scaffold which could become a convenient alternative to antibodies.

Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR-2) is known as one of the important antigens playing a vital role in angiogenesis. In this study, phage display technology (PDT) was used to produce a single-chain variable fragment (scFv) antibody against a region of the domain 3 in VEGFR-2 called kinase insert domain receptor 3 (KDR3). After designing the KDR3 peptide and biopanning, a colony was chosen for scFv antibody expression. Following expression and purification; western blotting, dot blotting and immunofluorescence (IF) were used to evaluate the antibody function. Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) was also employed to measure affinity of produced antibody. Once a colony was selected and transferred to the expression host, the scFv antibody was expressed in the expected range of 28 kDa. Using a designed chromatography column, antibody purification was found to be about 95%. In this study, a novel scFv with the capability of binding to KDR3 was isolated and purified and its intracellular function was investigated and verified.

Fibroblast growth factor 7 (FGF7) is a member of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family of proteins. FGF7 is of stromal origin and produces a paracrine effect on epithelial cells. In the current investigation, we aimed to identify new single-domain antibodies (sdAbs) against FGF7 using phage display technology. The vector harboring the codon-optimized DNA sequence for FGF7 protein was transformed into Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3) pLysS, and then the protein was expressed at the optimized condition. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, circular dichroism spectropolarimetry, and in vitro scratch assay experiments were used to confirm the proper folding and functionality of the purified FGF7 protein. The purity of the produced FGF7 was 92%, with production yield of 3.5 mg/L of culture. Panning against the purified FGF7 was performed, and the identified single-domain antibodies showed significant affinity. Further investigation on one of the selected sdAb displaying phage clones showed concentration-dependent binding to FGF7. The selected sdAb can be used for developing novel tumor-suppressing agents where inhibition of FGF7 is required.

Over the last few decades, antibodies have become the mainstay of cancer diagnosis and therapeutics. In traditional radioimmunotherapy (RIT), tumor targeting antibodies are directly conjugated with radioisotopes and depending on the radionuclides's properties, the direct labeled antibodies can be used for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes. However, one of the major challenges of using radiolabeled antibodies for therapy is their long serum half-lives. It generally takes 5-7 days for antibodies to achieve maximum tumor binding. This slow blood clearance results in high normal tissue irradiation and a poor therapeutic index. This is exemplified by the fact that to date, only two radiolabeled antibodies have been approved by the FDA for radioimmunotherapy of cancer. … Thomsen-Friedenreich (TF) is a disaccharide (Galactose [beta]1-3 N-acetylgalactosamine) antigen, which is present on about [about]90% of carcinomas. The TF expression on the tumor cell is correlated with poor prognosis and tumor propagation. TF antigen is also involved in cell to cell adhesion and metastasis, making it a very good target for cancer imaging and therapy. Using phage display technology, TF binding scFv fragments were selected from the McCafferty antibody library. The selected scFv clones were characterized in vitro for their TF specificity and cell binding properties by ELISA and flow-cytometry assay. The selected TF specific clone (9C-scFv) was radiolabeled with [99m]Tc by directly conjugating [99m]Tc to the C-terminal 6x His-tag. The [99m]Tc-labeled 9C-scFv was injected in mice bearing MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer xenografts. The SPECT/CT images, acquired 4 hours post injection, revealed a moderate tumor uptake of radiolabeled scFvs with significant accumulation in the liver and kidneys. The phage display derived single-chain scFv fragments against the TF antigen demonstrated potential for development as an imaging agent but requires more work to achieve favorable pharmacokinetics.
