Figure Lengend Snippet: Fig. 1. Anti-CD16a affibody affinity proteins. (a) Structure of the 58 aa (6.5 kDa) three-helix bundle affibody affinity protein scaffold used to construct combinatorial libraries from affibody molecules to CD16a were selected via phage display. The positions highlighted in red correspond to the 14 surface-located positions in helices 1 and 2 subjected to randomization for the construction of the library (see Supplementary information). The image was produced based on PDB entry 1q2n.pdb. (b) Structure of the extracellular domains (ECD) of human CD16a (hFcγRIIIa) protein. Position 158 (red) is a polymorphic position that can be occupied by either phenylalanine or valine, depending on the hCD16a allotype. Position 158 is located within the region of CD16a that interacts with the ligand IgG Fc (hinge) (dashed line). The image was produced based on the PBD entry 3ay4.pdb. (c) Left: Schematic figure showing the interpretation from direct binding and binning experiments of the relative epitope preferences for the A10, H09, and A11 affibody clones, where clone A10 binds to a distinct epitope different from an epitope shared by clones H09 and A11. Right: Sensorgrams obtained after injection of three selected anti-CD16a affibody affinity proteins (A10, H09, and A11, produced as gene fusions to an albumin-binding domain, ABD) at different concentrations (5 nM to 2.56 μM) over sensor chip surfaces containing either CD16a 158F or CD16a 158V ligands. Amino acid sequences of the A10, H09 and A11 affibodies are available in the PCT filing PCT/EP2023/064624 with sequence ID numbers 1, 75 and 74, respectively.
Article Snippet: Four cycles of biopanning were performed using recombinant, biotinylated hCD16a 158V (biotinylated human CD16a (F176) Avi tag, His tag, cat. no. CDA-H82E8, Acro Biosystems, Cambridge, USA), corresponding to residues 17–208 of Uniprot entry P08637, as the target protein, starting at 80 nM and decreasing in concentration with each cycle.
