− | The goal of this project was making the library of affinity molecules to be used in the phage display. The modularity and specificity of the Mantis diagnostic system comes from the use of affinity molecules. These molecules are created by selecting them for their specificity via phage display from a random naive library. The approach taken in this project proved to be a reliable way to create such a library.

− | Affinity molecules are antibody mimetics based on staphylococcal protein A (SPA) (Nord et al., 1997).The small, 6kDa, affinity proteins are based on the Z domain of the cell-wall anchored bacterial protein A. The native function of protein A is immunoglobin binding and contributes to evading the immune system (Nord et al., 1995). By making changes to 13 amino acids on 2 helices essential for specificity, affibodies for a wide variety of targets can be developed (Figure 1). Since its discovery affibodies have been developed for targets such as insulin, fibrinogen, transferrin, tumor necrosis factor-a, IL-8, gp120, CD28, human serum albumin, IgA, IgE and HER2 (Löfblom et al., 2010). Potential uses for these affibodies are imaging, purification, detection and many therapeutic applications (Löfblom et al., 2010).

− | The vector used to make the library with is pComb3XSS, acquired from AddGene. The pComb3XSS vector has an origin of replication for both e coli and filamentous phage M13. By using the SacI and SpeI restriction sites any protein of interest can be expressed as a fusion to the g3p protein. This protein is incorporated in the M13 helper phages upon infection of bacteria carrying this plasmid.

− | The Helix 3 region of the affinity molecule is not responsible for the binding specificity and will not be targeted for randomization. Therefore the Helix 3 region is ligated into the backbone before the library is integrated to make for an easier library ligation. The Helix 3 fragment was amplified with primers in such a way that it can be ligated into the pComb3XSS vector with the existing SacI/SpeI restriction sites. However a type-II restriction site (BsaI) was incorporated into the fragment to allow for the library integration without leaving a scar (Figure 3).

− | Oligo fragments were used to create the Helix 1 and Helix 2 fragments with random nucleotides on the desired places. The oligo’s are designed in such a way that there is a NN G/T degeneracy at the amino acid residues of interest. The NN G/T degeneracy improves the amount of non-sense codons produced by a NNN degeneracy and reduces the amount of stop codons as well. The annealed fragments for Helix 1 (top) and Helix 2 (bottom) can be seen in Figure 4.

− | <p>The Helix 1 and Helix 2 fragments were ligated into the linearized backbone (SacI/BsaI) and the ligation production were used for the transformation of XL1-Blue cells. The XL1-Blue cells have the following genotype: recA1 endA1 gyrA96 thi-1 hsdR17 supE44 relA1 lac [F ́proAB lacI qZ∆M15 Tn10 (Tetr)]. Important is that the strain used has a F pilus which is essential for the attachment of the M13 phages.

− | After 25 transformations all the colonies were scraped together which in total yielded an estimated library size of 110.000 affinity molecules. To check whether the library has a bias towards certain nucleotides and therefore amino acids, 96 colony PCR’s were performed on one of the transformations. </p>

| |
− | The PCR products were sent for sequencing and from 86 successful PCR reactions the data is depicted in Figure 5. On the x-axis all the randomized nucleotide places (39) can be seen. On the y-axis the total amount of sequenced samples is given. So each column represents a randomized nucleotide place divided into the 4 base pairs (ATCG). As expected in every third column there are only the G and T basepair. All the columns show a very similar pattern and indicates that there is no significant bias towards any of the basepairs overall.

− | To further investigate the pattern that is seen the average occurrence was plotted in Figure 6 and the data is normalised to the expected occurrence for each of the basepairs in a truly random library. Statistical analysis showed that there is no significant difference with the expected occurrence (control) and each of the basepairs (P < 0.05).
