Abstract

The AJ521 antibody detects the human CD1b protein by western blot.

Introduction

Human CD1b (Uniprot #P29016), a protein displayed at the surface of antigen-presenting cells, is involved in the presentation of lipid antigens to T cells (Porcelli et al., 1992). Here, we describe the ability of the AJ521 antibody, a single chain fragment (scFv) derived from the BCD1b3.1 hybridoma, to successfully detect the CD1b protein by western blot in CD1b-transfected HEK293 cells.

Materials & Methods

Antibodies: ABCD_AJ521 antibody (ABCD nomenclature, web.expasy.org/abcd/; Lima et al., 2019) was produced by the Geneva Antibody Facility (www.unige.ch/antibodies/) as a mini-antibody with the antigen-binding scFv fused to a rabbit IgG Fc. The synthesized scFv sequence (GeneArt, Invitrogen) corresponds to the sequence of the variable regions of the BCD1b3.1 hybridoma (Behar et al., 1995) joined by a peptide linker (GGGGS)3. The sequencing of the BCD1b3.1 hybridoma was performed by the Geneva Antibody Facility. HEK293 suspension cells (growing in serum-free FreeStyleTM 293 Expression Medium, Gibco

#12338) were transiently transfected with the vector coding for the scFv-Fc. AJ521 supernatant was collected after 4 days. Production of AJ521 was undetectable in this system, indicating a low production yield (<5 mg/L).

Antigen: The BCD1b3.1 hybridoma was originally raised against human CD1+ monocytes in BALB/c mice (Behar et al., 1995). HEK293 suspension cells (growing in FreeStyleTM 293 Expression Medium, Gibco #12338) were transiently transfected 3 days before the experiment with the vector coding for the human CD1b protein fused to its b2 microglobulin subunit (Mercanti et al., 2010).

Protocol: 5x106 transfected HEK cells were pelleted and lysed in PBS containing 0.5% (v/v) Triton X-100. Nucleus were pelleted by centrifugation (10 min at 12’000 g) and supernatant was recovered and mixed with reducing or non-reducing sample buffer (20.6% (w/v) sucrose, 100 mM Tris pH 6.8, 10 mM EDTA, 0.1% (w/v) bromophenol blue, 4% (w/v) SDS, +/- 6% (v/v) b-mercaptoethanol).

Each sample was migrated (200 V, 30 min) in a 4-20%

acrylamide gel (SurePAGE Bis-Tris, Genscript

#M00655), and transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane using a dry transfer system for 10 minutes (iBlot gel transfer device, Invitrogen #IB1001EU). The membranes were blocked overnight in PBS containing 0.1% (v/v) Tween20 and 7% (w/v) milk and washed three times for 5 minutes in PBS + 0.1% (v/v) Tween 20. The membranes

were then incubated with the primary antibody AJ521 (dilution 1:10 in PBS-Tween) for 1 hour at room temperature and washed three times for 5 minutes. The membranes were then incubated with horseradish peroxidase-coupled goat anti-rabbit IgG (Sigma-Aldrich

#A8275, dilution 1:3000) and washed twice for 5 minutes and once for 15 minutes in PBS-Tween. The signal was revealed by enhanced chemiluminescence (ECL) (Millipore) using a PXi-4 gel imaging systems (Syngene).

Results

The antibody AJ521 recognizes the non-reduced and, to a lesser extent, the reduced CD1b protein. No specific signal was detected in mock transfected cells (Fig. 1).
