A ssDNA Aptamer That Blocks the Function of the Anti-FLAG M2 Antibody
نویسندگان
چکیده
Using SELEX (systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment), we serendipitously discovered a ssDNA aptamer that binds selectively to the anti-FLAG M2 antibody. The aptamer consisted of two motifs (CCTTA and TGTCTWCC) separated by 2-3 bases, and the elimination of one or the other motif abrogated binding. The DNA aptamer and FLAG peptide competed for binding to the antigen-binding pocket of the M2 antibody. In addition, the aptamer eluted FLAG-tagged proteins from the antibody, suggesting a commercial application in protein purification. These findings demonstrate the feasibility of using SELEX to develop ssDNA aptamers that block the function of a specific antibody, a capability that could lead to the development of novel therapeutic modalities for patients with systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, and other autoimmune diseases.

Nonradioactive assay of FLAG-tagged MAPK using ANTI-FLAG antibody-coated multiwell plates.
We have developed a rapid, sensitive, and quantitative 96-well microplate-based nonradioactive immunoprecipitation/kinase assay to evaluate mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) activity. Three quantitative nonradioactive imunoprecipitation/kinase assays of MAPK were demonstrated on a 96-well microplate coated with ANTI-FLAG M2 antibody (ANTI-FLAG M2 plate): (i) the capture of phosphorylated ...

A FLAG epitope tag was substituted within variable loop 1 (V1), 2 (V2), or 4 (V4) of the gp120 envelope glycoprotein of simian immunodeficiency virus strain 239 (SIV239) to evaluate the extent to which each variable loop may serve as a target for antibody-mediated neutralization. Two sites within each variable loop of SIV239 were chosen for individual epitope tag insertions. FLAG epitope substi...
