13: Antibody drugs Flashcards
what are polyclonal antibodies
Aby secreted by many different clones of B cells against different antigenic epitopes
polyclonal antisera is generated by
inoculation of a suitable animal host species with multivalent antigent
what are phylogenetic considerations
considering the relationship between the donor Ag species and the recipient Aby producing species
when producing polyclonal antibodies, the more distant the species the _____ the immune response, and the ____ Aby is generated when exposed to donor Ag
greater
more
_________________ animals may be required to minimize infectious disease cross over to recipient of Aby
specified pathogen free animals
describe how polyclonal antibodies are made
disease Ag presented to animal
animal produces Aby from lots of different B cell clones
different types of Aby for this one Ag now put back in infected human
in goat anti-mouse IgG, what is the host species and the antigen presenting species
host = goat
antigen presenting = mouse
in horse tetanus antitoxin, what is the host species, what does it neutralize
horse = host
neutralizes tetanus toxin
what 2 kinds of cells do you need to make hybridomas
immortal myeloma cells + mouse splenocytes
which cells are deficient for enzymes that recycle nucleotides for DNA synthesis in hybridomas
myelomas
how many times on average are mouse immunized
3
how to screen that the hybridoma is secreting the appropriate Aby
ELISA
flow through cytometry
western blotting
list the 4 steps of hybridoma production
- immunization
- fusion
- screening
- subcloning
bacteriophages are
viral molecules that infect bacteria
phage display technology generates Aby like fragments called
single chain fraction variable (scFv)
describe the process of phage display
coat antigen on plate
add phage library
wash and see which sticks- repeat 3x
infect e.coli with it to amplify + rescreen or ELISA
ELISA to find antigen binding clones
IPTG induced large scale expression of identified clone
what antibody is found in egg yolks
IgY
how to make your desired antibody in an egg
immunize chicken with antigen 2x at ~21 weeks with pathogens, toxins, biomarkers, allergens, etc and it’ll lay an egg for you with the specific IgY
applications of chicken egg Aby
diagnostic reagents
biomedical applications
how to get biotech products from natural sources
extraction + protein separation and fractionation
describe recombinant techniques for biotech products
recombination of DNA genes + vector genes which are then introduced to host cells to secrete the coded proteins
what are recombinant techniques used for
to manufacture what kind of drugs/ ligands?
to manufacture larger protein ligands and cytokine drugs
describe chemical synthesis for biotech products
amino acids attached step by step to a solid support
- there is a solution phase and a solid phase
peptides = \_\_ AA proteins = \_\_\_ AA
peptides = 2-40AA proteins = >40AA
what are semisynthetic approaches to making biotech products
chemical mod of natural peptides
issues with absorption of peptide drugs
poor absorption across membranes + low oral bioavailability
peptide drugs typically have a ___ Vd and ___ half life
low, low
peptide drugs are prone to ______ and/or ______degredation
aggregation
chemical degradation
why do peptide drugs have low Vd
large size
molecules larger than __ can’t pass through glomerular membrane for urinary excretion
70kDa
protein _____ _____ increases when GFR decreases = greater diffusion across barrier
sieving coefficient
chemical degradation breaks ____ bonds resulting in
covalent
chemical structural changes
physical biotech drug structure stability depends on
protein secondary, tertiary, or quaternary noncovalent interactions
which degredation breaks noncovalent bonds, chemical or physical
physical
oxidation is ____ degradation, aggregation is _____ degradation
chemical
physical
denaturation is the loss of ___ or ___ structure, resulting in irreversible or reversible changes
secondary or tertiary
what sterilization methods should not be used on proteins
heat, gas, ionizing radiation
biologics should be assembled under ___ conditions and a final _________ should be done
aseptic
final filtration sterilization (pre filter, then 0.22um filter)
T or F: excipients used for biologics can not be sterilized by heat either
F- equipment and excipients sterilized separately from protein API, then combined
pyrogen removal mainly targets
endotoxin (LPS) from gram - bacteria
how are pyrogens removed
ion exchange chromatography
reverse osmosis generated water for injection
dialysis, charcoal, oxidation, dry heating
what are some excipients used in biotech drugs for parenteral formulations
solubility enhancers
anti-adsorption/ aggregation agents
buffers
