Framework-Directed Amino-Acid Insertions Generated over 55-Fold Affinity-Matured Antibody Fragments That Enabled Sensitive Luminescent Immunoassays of Cortisol

We generated three single-chain Fv fragments (scFvs) specific to cortisol according to our original affinity-maturation strategy and verified their utility in developing immunoassays. These scFv mutants (m-scFvs) had insertion of one, four, or six amino acid(s) in the framework region 1 of the VH-do...

description We generated three single-chain Fv fragments (scFvs) specific to cortisol according to our original affinity-maturation strategy and verified their utility in developing immunoassays. These scFv mutants (m-scFvs) had insertion of one, four, or six amino acid(s) in the framework region 1 of the VH-domain and showed >55-fold higher affinity (Ka, 2.0 − 2.2 × 1010 M−1) than the unmodified scFv (wt-scFv). Each m-scFv was fused with NanoLuc luciferase (NLuc) for the use in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs). In these ELISA, the m-scFv–NLuc fusions were competitively reacted with immobilized cortisol residues and cortisol standards, and then the bound NLuc activity was monitored luminometrically. The luminescent ELISAs generated dose–response curves with extremely low midpoints (approx. 3 pg/assay) and were >150-fold more sensitive than the colorimetric ELISAs using wt-scFv and >8000-fold more sensitive than the ELISA using the parental native antibody. The luminescent ELISAs showed acceptable cross-reactivity patterns with related steroids, and the determination of control sera afforded cortisol levels in the reference range with satisfactory parallelism.
