Comprehensive epitope analysis of monoclonal anti-proenkephalin antibodies using phage display libraries and synthetic peptides: revelation of antibody fine specificities caused by somatic mutations in the variable region genes.

Abstract：

:Filamentous phage libraries, displaying 6, 12 or 20 amino acid residue peptides at the N terminus of coat protein pIII were used to define and localize the epitopes of 15 monoclonal antibodies raised against human proenkephalin, a neuropeptide precursor. Eight monoclonal antibodies (PE14 to PE19, PE23 and PE25), which inhibit each other's binding to proenkephalin, recognized phage clones selected by PE14, PE15, PE19, PE23 and PE25. With the peptide sequences DLL(X)(X)LL (12mer library) and DLL(X)(X)L (6mer library) shared by most of the phage clones it was possible to define the putative antibody epitope 155DLLKELL161 on human proenkephalin. For five antibodies (PE13, PE20 to PE22 and PE24) belonging to another inhibition group, a common consensus motif G(X)D(X)E(X)(X)V(X)(X)R could be defined with help of a 20mer library. The corresponding minimum epitope sequence has been found to be 175GSDNEEEVSKR185. Antibody PE1, raised in a separate fusion, was able to select phage clones from a 12mer and 20mer library, revealing that the sequence 187GGFMRG192 is probably the antibody epitope. The assumed localization of the epitopes was confirmed by screening a set of overlapping synthetic peptides, covering the region of human proenkephalin thought to contain all antibody binding sites. It was found that antibodies, although recognizing the same epitope, gave different binding patterns with the selected phage clones. By analysing the VH chain sequences of these antibodies it could be shown that a varying number of somatic mutations is likely to be the reason for the observed differences in antibody fine specificity.
