AbstractFiloviruses, which include ebolaviruses and marburgvirus, can cause outbreaks of highly lethal hemorrhagic fever. This disease causes significant morbidity and mortality in humans and non-human primates, with human fatality rates reaching 90% during some outbreaks. Currently, there are a lack of licensed vaccines or antivirals for these viruses. Since early symptoms of filovirus infection mimic more common diseases, there is a strong unmet public health and biodefense need for broad-spectrum filovirus rapid diagnostics. We have generated a panel of mouse single-chain Fv-antibodies (scFvs) to filovirus glycoproteins (GPs) using cell-free ribosome display and determined their cross-reactivity profiles to all known filovirus species. Two scFvs (4-2 and 22-1) were able to detect all known Ebolavirus and Marburgvirus species. This is the first report on ribosome display scFvs that can detect a broad set of filovirus GPs, which demonstrates their potential use in the development of a new generation of rapid diagnostic immunoassays.

ABSTRACT We report here that fusions of single-chain antibodies (scFvs) to the autotransporter β domain of the IgA protease of Neisseria gonorrhoeae are instrumental in locating virus-neutralizing activity on the cell surface of Escherichia coli. E. coli cells displaying scFvs against the transmissible gastroenteritis coronavirus on their surface blocked in vivo the access of the infectious agent to cultured epithelial cells. This result raises prospects for antiviral strategies aimed at hindering the entry into target cells by bacteria that naturally colonize the same intestinal niches.

Three single chain variable fragment (scFv) antibodies against 2,4-dichlophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) herbicide were produced by the Griffin1.library. The selection of the scFv from the phage library was carried out by 2,4-D-protein coated tubes with different levels of hapten substitution in the conjugate. The scFv phage clones were isolated within the five round library panning and the antibodies were expressed in Escherichia coli HB2151. The recombinant products were purified by metal affinity chromatography yielding 200 g of pure scFv per 1 liter of bacterial culture. The antibody fragments provided steep curves in conventional indirect ELISA having the IC<sub>50</sub> values from 10.2 to 14.5 ng/ml established for 2,4-D standard. Interestingly enough, the recombinant ScFv E1 antibody exhibited 68% cross-reactivity with 2,4-dichlorphenol (2,4-D = 100%), and 38.0% with methylchlorophenoxyacetic acid (MCPA) whereas reaction with other phenoxyacetic compounds was low. Similar characteristics were obtained for other two recombinant products. Low stability for the isolated scFv antibodies was found in storage buffer even in the presence of stabilizers and protease inhibitors. Factors influencing stability of the recombinant antibodies are discussed.

ABSTRACTPierce's disease is a devastating lethal disease ofVitus viniferagrapevines caused by the bacteriumXylella fastidiosa. There is no cure for Pierce's disease, and control is achieved predominantly by suppressing transmission of the glassy-winged sharpshooter insect vector. We present a simple robust approach for the generation of panels of recombinant single-chain antibodies against the surface-exposed elements ofX. fastidiosathat may have potential use in diagnosis and/or disease transmission blocking studies.In vitrocombinatorial antibody ribosome display libraries were assembled from immunoglobulin transcripts rescued from the spleens of mice immunized with heat-killedX. fastidiosa. The libraries were used in a single round of selection against an outer membrane protein, MopB, resulting in the isolation of a panel of recombinant antibodies. The potential use of selected anti-MopB antibodies was demonstrated by the successful application of the 4XfMopB3 antibody in an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), a Western blot assay, and an immunofluorescence assay (IFA). These immortalizedin vitrorecombinant single-chain antibody libraries generated against heat-killedX. fastidiosaare a resource for the Pierce's disease research community that may be readily accessed for the isolation of antibodies against a plethora ofX. fastidiosasurface-exposed antigenic molecules.
