Epitope mapping of neutralizing botulinum neurotoxin A antibodies by phage display.
description:
This 133-aminoacid stretch is the minimal epitopic region that was recognized by a neutralyzing mAb from a phage library encoding fragments of the BoNT/A Heavy chain binding domain (HC).
A library of BoNT/A receptor binding domain (Hc) fragments was selected with a scFv molecule obtained from a human vaccinated with pentavalent toxoid. The scFv was expressed as a fusion with a Fc-IgG1 scaffold. Random-selected clones from the second round of panning were tested by ELISA. Sequencing of positive clones revealed a minimal shared region between residues 1131-1264 (which is the full length of the shorter fragment obtained). Further mapping using 15-mers was unproductive, implying a conformational epitope is included in this region. Nevertheless, the mAb is able to recognize the toxin in denaturalizing Western blot.
