Aglycosylated antibody-producing mice for aglycosylated antibody-lectin coupled immunoassay for the quantification of tumor markers (ALIQUAT).
Targeting aberrant glycoforms has been validated for in vitro cancer diagnostic development, and several assays are currently in routine clinical use. Because N-glycans in Fc region of antibodies show cross-reactivity with various lectins, high-quality aglycosylated antibodies are exceptionally important for immunoassay platform-based quantitative measurements. Previously, aglycosylated antibody acquisition relied on incomplete, uneconomical and onerous enzymatic and chemical methods. Here, we edited four murine immunoglobulin G genes using adenine base-editing and homology-directed recombination (HDR)-mediated gene editing methods to generate aglycosylated antibody-producing mice. Resulting aglycosylated antibodies showed required analytical performances without compromised protein stability. Thus, this aglycosylated monoclonal antibody-lectin coupled immunoassay for the quantification of tumour markers (ALIQUAT) method can provide a robust, versatile and accessible immunoassay platform to quantify specific glycoforms in precision cancer diagnostics. Moreover, the engineered mice can be used as a host to produce various aglycosylated antibodies in a convenient and robust fashion, thereby expanding in vitro diagnostic development opportunities that utilize glycoforms as a disease-specific biomarkers.Nan-Ee Lee, Sun Hee Kim, Dae-Yeul Yu, Eui-Jeon Woo, Myung-Il Kim, Gi-Sang Seong, Sun Min Lee, Jeong-Heon Ko, Yong-Sam Kim
