In order to study the structure-function relationship of von Willebrand Factor (vWF), we have located the epitope of a well-characterized monoclonal antibody (MAb) to vWF (MAb 9). This MAb reacts with the C-terminal portion of the vWF subunit, SPII fragment [amino acids (aa) 1366-2050], which includes an Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) sequence at positions 1744-1746, and totally inhibits vWF and SPII binding to platelet membrane glycoprotein IIb/IIIa (GPIIb/IIIa). A recombinant DNA library was constructed by cloning small (250-500 nucleotides) vWF cDNA fragments into the lambda gt11 vector and these inserts were expressed as fusion proteins with beta-galactosidase. Immunological screening of the library with 125I-MAb 9 identified three immunoreactive clones. vWF inserts were amplified by the PCR and their sequences demonstrated overlapping nucleotides from positions 7630 to 7855 of vWF cDNA, coding for aa residues 1698-1773 of the mature subunit, indicating that this is the epitope of MAb 9. vWF-beta-galactosidase fusion protein reacted with 125I-MAb 9 by Western blotting. In a solid-phase radioimmunoassay, the purified fusion proteins decreased the binding of vWF to 125I-MAb 9 by 50%, and this inhibition was dose-dependent between 3.5 and 120 nM. Therefore the epitope of MAb 9 is located within aa 1698-1773 of the vWF subunit, which includes the RGD sequence implicated in the binding of adhesive proteins of GPIIb/IIIa.

Glycans as sugar polymers are important metabolic, structural, and physiological regulators for cellular and biological functions. They are often classified as critical quality attributes to antibodies and recombinant fusion proteins, given their impacts on the efficacy and safety of biologics drugs. Recent reports on the conjugates of N-acetyl-galactosamine and mannose-6-phosphate for lysosomal degradation, Fab glycans for antibody diversification, as well as sialylation therapeutic modulations and O-linked applications, have been fueling the continued interest in glycoengineering. The current advancements of the human glycome and the development of a comprehensive network in glycosylation pathways have presented new opportunities in designing next-generation therapeutic proteins.
