Mapping Antibody Epitopes and Functional Regions of Dengue Envelope Proteins
description:
5M22 binds the DENV prM region. This antibody epitope is described in PMID 24255124.
To obtain epitope maps at a resolution of individual amino acids for monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) directed against the immunodominant envelope protein prM/E of Dengue virus (DENV), we used a novel Shotgun Mutagenesis approach (www.integralmolecular.com; Paes et al., 2009 JACS 131: 6952-6954). Shotgun Mutagenesis provided a residue-by-residue evaluation of the interaction between the prM/E target protein and anti-DENV MAbs. A comprehensive library of mutated DENV-4 (TVP-376 strain) prM/E expression plasmids (660 individual mutants) was expressed in human cells and subjected to high-throughput analyses of antibody reactivity using microplate-based immunofluorescence assays. We have screened human anti-DENV MAbs, derived from naturally infected patients, and murine MAbs, derived from DENV reporter virus immunizations (Mattia et al., 2011 PLoS ONE 6 (11): e27252). Mutations were identified as critical to a specific MAb epitope if they did not support reactivity of the MAb, but did support reactivity of other conformation-dependent MAbs. This counter-screen strategy facilitated the exclusion of prM/E mutants that were globally or locally misfolded, or that had expression defects.
