- Molecular patterning processes taking place in biological systems are challenging to study in vivo because of their dynamic behavior, subcellular size, and high degree of complexity. In vitro patterning of biomolecules using nanolithography allows simplification of the processes and detailed study of the dynamic interactions. Parallel dip-pen nanolithography (DPN) is uniquely capable of integrating functional biomolecules on subcellular length scales due to its constructive nature, high resolution, and high throughput. Phospholipids are particularly well suited as inks for DPN since a variety of different functional lipids can be readily patterned in parallel. Here DPN is used to spatially pattern multicomponent micro- and nano-structured supported lipid membranes and multilayers that are fluid and contain various amounts of biotin and/or nitrilotriacetic acid functional groups. The patterns are characterized by fluorescence microscopy and photoemission electron microscopy. Selective adsorption of functionalized or recombinant proteins based on streptavidin or histidine-tag coupling enables the semisynthetic fabrication of model peripheral membrane bound proteins. The biomimetic membrane patterns formed in this way are then used as substrates for cell culture, as demonstrated by the selective adhesion and activation of T-cells.

- The effect of CD40 ligation on infection by HIV-1 primary isolates with different R5 phenotypes was evaluated with a novel set of anti-CD40 monoclonal antibodies originating from a human phage display library. Five human monoclonal anti-CD40 antibodies of IgG1 subtype characterized by the ability to activate B cells via CD40 were tested for induction of the CC-chemokines RANTES and MIP-1alpha and inhibition of HIV-1 replication in primary monocyte-derived macrophages (MDM). All activating anti-CD40 antibodies were able to induce CC-chemokines in MDM. We chose the most potent antibody, clone B44, for further experiments. This antibody had a suppressive effect on HIV-1 isolates of the R5 phenotype with limited use of CCR5/CXCR4 chimeric receptors. In comparison, HIV-1 isolates with broader use of CCR5/CXCR4 chimeric receptors or with CXCR4 use were less sensitive to anti-CD40-induced suppression. The results indicate that HIV-1 replication is inhibited by human anti-CD40 monoclonal antibodies through the mechanism of CC-chemokine induction. This effect is thus restricted to HIV-1 isolates sensitive to inhibition by CC-chemokines.

- The driving force behind oncoproteomics is to identify biomarker signatures associated with a particular malignancy. Here, we have for the first time used large-scale recombinant scFv antibody microarrays in an attempt to classify metastatic breast cancer versus healthy controls, based on differential protein expression profiling of whole serum samples. Using this multiplexed and miniaturised assay set-up providing pM range sensitivities, breast cancer could be classified with a specificity and sensitivity of 85% based on 129 serum analytes. However, by adopting a condensed 11 analyte biomarker signature, composed of nine non-redundant serum proteins, we were able to distinguish cancer versus healthy serum proteomes with a 95% sensitivity and specificity, respectively. When a subgroup of patients, not receiving anti-inflammatory drugs, was analysed, a novel eight analyte biomarker signature with a further improved predictive power was indicated. In a longer perspective, antibody microarray analysis could provide a tool for the development of improved diagnostics and intensified biomarker discovery for breast cancer patients.

- Antibody array-based technology is a powerful emerging tool in proteomics, but to enable global proteome analysis, antibody array layouts with even higher density has to be developed. To this end, we have further developed the first generation of a nanoarray platform, based on attoliter sized vials, attovials, which we have characterized and used for the detection of complement factor C1q in human serum samples. Finally, we demonstrated proof-of-concept for individual functionalisation of the attovials with a recombinant antibody.

- We characterized the functional properties of a novel set of human anti-CD40 monoclonal antibodies originating from a human phage display library and identified an antibody that strongly activates cells via the CD40 receptor for potential use in HIV therapy. The anti-CD40 antibodies were converted from a single chain antibody fragment format (scFv) to an IgG format and produced in HEK293 cells, and the binding characteristics were evaluated. Next, their ability to (1) rescue a human B cell line from induced apoptosis, (2) stimulate B cell proliferation, and (3) block the CD40-CD40L interaction was determined. Finally, the most activating anti-CD40 antibody was tested for its ability to block HIV-1 infection in a monocyte-derived cell line.The different anti-CD40 antibodies, A24, B44, E30, F33, and A2-54, displayed a wide variety of binding and functional properties. In particular, B44 showed a very strong ability to activate normal human B cells and, in addition, did not block the CD40-CD40L interaction. This antibody was able to suppress HIV-1 infection in a human cell line (MonoMac 1) and may be a potential therapeutic candidate in HIV infection.

- Antibody microarray based technology is a powerful emerging tool in proteomics, target discovery, and differential analysis. Here, we report the first study where recombinant antibody fragments have been used to construct large scale antibody microarrays, composed of 127 different antibodies against mostly immunoregulatory antigens. The arrays were based on single framework recombinant antibody fragments (SinFabs) designed for high on-chip stability and functionality and were used for the analysis of malignant and normal stomach tissue samples from Helicobacter pylori-positive and -negative patients. Our results demonstrate that distinct tumor- as well as infection-associated protein expression signatures could be identified from these complex tissue proteomes, as well as biomarkers such as IL-9, IL-11, and MCP-4, previously not found in these diseases. In a longer perspective, this study may improve the understanding of H. pylori-induced stomach cancer and lead to development of improved diagnostics.

- Antibody microarrays enable extensive protein expression profiling, and provide a valuable complement to DNA microarray-based gene expression profiling. In this study, we used DotScan (TM) antibody microarrays that contain antibodies against 82 different cell surface antigens, to determine phenotypic protein expression profiles for human B cell sub-populations. We then demonstrated that the B cell protein profile can be used to delineate the relationship between normal B cells and malignant counterparts. Principle component analysis showed that the lymphomas did not cluster with the normal memory B cells or germinal centre B cells, but they did cluster with germinal centre founder cells and naive B cells.

- The driving force behind oncoproteomics is to identify protein signatures that are associated with a particular malignancy. Here, we have used a recombinant scFv antibody microarray in an attempt to classify sera derived from pancreatic adenocarcinoma patients versus healthy subjects. Based on analysis of nonfractionated, directly labeled, whole human serum proteomes we have identified a protein signature based on 19 nonredundant analytes, that discriminates between cancer patients and healthy subjects. Furthermore, a potential protein signature, consisting of 21 protein analytes, could be defined that was shown to be associated with cancer patients having a life expectancy of <12 months. Taken together, the data suggest that antibody microarray analysis of complex proteomes will be a useful tool to define disease associated protein signatures.

Forskningsöversikt (refereegranskat)abstract
- The advent of multiplexing technologies has raised the possibility that disease states can be defined using discrete genomic and proteomic patterns or signatures. However this emerging area has been limited by the 'content problem', arising from the uncertainty of which molecules to focus on. The human cluster of differentiation (CD) antigens are expressed on cells of the human immune system (leukocytes) and on other cell types. These heterogeneous molecules perform a host of roles essential to immune function and to the physiology of other lineages. The 339 defined CD antigens and their as yet, undefined counterparts constitute key components of the expressed human cell surface proteome. We propose that CD antigen expression patterns will form the basis of a rational, discrete and generalized diagnostic and prognostic system. Furthermore, disease-specific CD antigen proteomic signatures are likely to be more robust than corresponding genomic signatures and will also help to identify molecular targets for therapeutic intervention.
