Abstract

Radioimmunoguided surgery has been attempted using intraoperative tumor detection with radiolabeled monoclonal antibody (mAb). Directly radiolabeled mAb showed poor tumor imaging due to high blood-pool radioactivity. In 1991, three-step immunoscintigraphy of the avidin-biotin system was reported. This three-step method improved tumor imaging because it reduced background radioactivity. Although there were some problems such as a human anti-mouse response and anti-avidin response, the three-step clinical protocol was performed in various cancer patients, and many good results (the tumor detection rate was about 85%) were reported. On the other hand, recent major trials on tumor localization and sentinel lymph node detection have been performed using FDG-PET. However, radioimmunoscintigraphy has the major advantage of simultaneous tumor diagnosis and treatment. In the near future, radioimmunoscintigraphy may become a useful diagnostic method with anticancer effects when its adverse effects are ameliorated by the application of gene technology.

ZrO₂@C-based colorimetric/photothermal dual-mode immunosensor coupled with a novel monoclonal antibody for quantification of Aspergillus ochraceus biomass.

Aspergillus ochraceus contaminates agricultural products and produces nephrotoxic, carcinogenic ochratoxin A (OTA), posing severe food safety hazards. A dual-signal lateral flow immunochromatographic assay (dLFIA) based on ZrO₂@C nanoprobes was established for quantitative detection of A. ochraceus biomass. A novel monoclonal antibody (mAb 4B4) was prepared as the capture antibody to immobilize A. ochraceus mycelial lysate antigen on the test line, and a rabbit polyclonal antibody (pAb G2801) as the detection antibody to modify ZrO₂@C composites (synthesized via UiO-66 pyrolysis) into 200 nm colorimetric/photothermal nanoprobes. This dLFIA achieved limits of detection of 0.164 μg/mL (colorimetric) and 0.517 μg/mL (photothermal). This efficient and reliable method allows quantitative analysis of A. ochraceus biomass, which is suitable for routine monitoring of fungal contamination in agro-food matrices.

High-throughput miniaturized immunoassay for human interleukin-13 secreted from NK3.3 cells using homogenous time-resolved fluorescence.

A miniaturized immunoassay for human interleukin-13 (IL-13) using homogeneous time-resolved fluorescence (HTRF) has been developed. In this assay, IL-13 which was secreted from NK3.3 cells stimulated with interleukin-2 (IL-2) was detected by measuring the time-resolved fluorescence after adding a mixture of three reagents, biotinylated anti-IL-13 monoclonal antibody, europium cryptate (fluorescence donor)-labeled different anti-IL-13 monoclonal antibody and crosslinked allophycocyanin (fluorescence acceptor)-conjugated with streptavidin in a 384-well assay plate. The detection limit of IL-13 using this immunoassay was estimated to be less than 600 pg/ml and IL-13 levels measured by this method were very close to those measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA; the correlation coefficient was 0.9535). The proposed assay requires only a fourth of the quantities of all reagents compared with the assay using a conventional 96-well microtiter plate. Furthermore, there is no need to transfer the culture supernatant to another assay plate and wash the plate. Therefore, this miniaturized immunoassay is economical and efficient and is particularly suitable for high-throughput drug screening.

A three-step strategy for targeting drug carriers to human ovarian carcinoma cells in vitro.

To improve tumor-to-tissue ratios of anticancer agents in radioimmunotherapy, a three-step targeting approach was used to deliver biotinylated liposomes to human ovarian cancer cells (NIH:OVCAR-3, SK-OV-3) in vitro. Targeting was based upon the use of two antibodies specific for the CA-125 antigen that is highly expressed on NIH:OVCAR-3 cells but not expressed on SK-OV-3 cells. Briefly, the approach consists of prelabeling target cells with biotinylated anti-CA-125 antibody and FITC-labeled streptavidin (SAv) prior to administration of biotinylated liposomes containing a marker dye for visualization by confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). In addition, the two anti-CA-125 antibodies (B27.1 and B43.13) were labeled with FITC and incubated with ovarian cancer cells at 37 degrees C from 30 min to 24 h to study binding and uptake kinetics. Shedding kinetics of bound antibody from tumor cells was performed using radiolabeled B27.1. Results demonstrated that both B27.1 and B43.13 specifically bound to the cell surface of OVCAR-3 cells but not to SK-OV-3 cells. Biotinylation, FITC-labeling and radiolabeling of the antibodies did not compromise immunoreactivity. Less than 6% of the bound B27.1 was shed from tumor cells by 4 h following incubation, and the antibody-antigen complex resided predominantly on the cell surface by 4 h at 37 degrees C with slow internalization by 12-24 h. Biotinylated, conventional liposomes were specifically and effectively delivered to OVCAR-3 cells prelabeled with biotinylated B27.1 and SAv. The slow internalization and shedding properties of these antibodies are useful for multistep pretargeting methods. Thus, a modified targeting strategy, utilizing a bispecific antibody and liposomes, may be feasible for radioimmunoliposomal therapy of ovarian cancer.
