Selection of Affinity Reagents to Neutralize the Hemolytic Toxicity of Melittin Based on a Self-Assembled Nanoparticle Library.
Antibodies are the most common affinity reagents for specific target recognition. However, their applications are limited by high cost and low stability. Thus, seeking substitutes for antibodies is of great significance. In this work, we designed a library containing 82 self-assembled nanoparticles (SNPs) based on the self-assembly of β-cyclodextrin polymers and adamantane derivatives, and then screened out eight types of SNPs capable of suppressing the toxicity of melittin using a hemolytic activity neutralization assay. The affinities of the SNPs to melittin were demonstrated using surface plasmon resonance (SPR). As evidenced by cytotoxicity experiments, SNPs could also suppress the toxicity of melittin to other cells. In addition, to verify the universality of our method, 11 types of SNPs capable of neutralizing another toxic peptide, phenolic soluble polypeptide (PSMα3) secreted by Topics: Antibodies; beta-Cyclodextrins; Cytotoxicity Tests, Immunologic; Humans; Melitten; Nanoparticles; Polymers; Staphylococcus aureus; Surface Plasmon Resonance | 2020 |
