Definitions
- the present invention involves a method of separating and recovering specifically-targeted cells or molecular structures from mixed cell or molecular structure populations using antibodies.
- Immunoselection is a generic term which encompasses a variety of techniques for the separation of cells or molecular structures bearing function related or lineage specific antigenic determinants. The specificity of the selection process is conferred by antibody or antibody-like molecules, haptens or lectins which interact with the specific cell surface or molecular structure antigenic determinants.
- Negative selection involves the removal of a specific subpopulation of cells from a heterogenous mixture of cell types. Using this method of separation, one can obtain an enriched but not pure preparation of remaining cells since all cell types in the original mixture that are negative for the selection antigen will be recovered.
- the second method involves the specific targeting and recovery of cells expressing the desired specificity from a heterogenous population of contaminating cells. Positive selection techniques can provide a highly enriched or even pure population of the desired antigen-positive cells, in contrast to negative selection methods in which all cell types that are target antigen-negative will be recovered.
- Biotinylated antibodies against rat thymocytes have been used to remove such thymocytes from a cell mixture by interaction with avidin covalently coupled to nylon meshes but removal of the thymocyte cells from the avidin was not attempted (Jasiewicz et al. , Exp. Cell Res . 100:213-19, 1976).
- T cells have been removed from spleen cell preparations by reaction with biotinylated monoclonal antibody directed against T cell antigen followed by panning on avidin coated plates but the T cells were not removed from the plates (Prud'homme et al., J. Exp. Med. 159:463-78, 1984).
- U.S. Patent No. 4,298,685 also describes a negative selection process using biotin-avidin.
- Biotinylated monoclonal antibodies have been used in combination with avidin coated sheep erythrocytes to form rosettes of selected cells which are then separated on density gradients (Wormmeester et al. , J". Immunol . Methods 67:389-94, 1984) .
- This procedure reportedly allows for both positive and negative selection of cell populations.
- positively- selected cells are coated with sheep erythrocytes which could affect their activity. All of the described methods rely upon the direct interaction of biotin with avidin or streptavidin bound to a solid support matrix during the immunoselection process to achieve cell separation, whether by a process of positive or negative selection.
- the process is essentially irreversible and it is difficult to recover intact, functional cell populations away from the solid support matrix.
- WO 92/16841 discloses a non-immune, reversible binding displacement system for the detection of compounds in a solution.
- the application discloses the attachment of a releasable ligand, a binding partner for the releasable ligand, an analyte of interest, an analytically detectable (reporter) group and at least one binding partner for the analyte to an insoluble phase.
- a displacer ligand is added to the solution which displaces the releasable ligand along with some portion of the reporter-labeled complex which may or may not contain the analyte of interest so as to detect the presence of the analyte.
- This method discloses the use of biotin analogues with lower affinity for avidin as the releasable ligand.
- Both positive and negative immunoselection methods for cell or molecular structure separation would be improved by a procedure which allowed for a high degree of specificity and selectivity in targeting of cells and provided for an* efficient means of recovering those targeted cells from the solid support under conditions which minimized damage to the cellular structure and/or molecular integrity.
- the present invention involves a method of separating and recovering specifically-targeted cells or structures from mixed cell or molecular structure populations under conditions which minimize damage to the cellular structure and/or the molecular structure and integrity.

- the method employs a labelled binding molecule specific for a target molecule or epitope on a cell or structure, an antibody attached to a solid support which reacts with the label on the binding molecule to select the specific cell or structure and a competitor to the label-antibody interaction to release the cell or structure from the solid support.

- This example illustrates the ability of avidin or streptavidin to inhibit the interaction between biotin and an antibody directed against biotin.
- Bovine serum albumin (BSA) (Sigma Chemical Company, St. Louis MO) was biotinylated with N- hydroxysuccinimidobiotin (Pierce Chemical Company, Rockford, IL) using standard procedures (See Berman and Basch (1980) J . Immunol . Methods 36:335-338)).
- BSA was dialyzed against 0.1 M NaHC0 3 (no azide) at pH 8.2 to 8.6. The BSA concentration was adjusted to 1 mg/ml. N-hydroxysuccinimidobiotin (Pierce No. 20217) was dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) to a concentration of 1 mg/ml. The bottle of N- hydroxysuccinimidobiotin was warmed to room temperature before weighing, to prevent condensation. 120 ⁇ l of the biotin succinimide ester mixture was added to 1 ml of the dialyzed BSA, mixed immediately, and incubated at room temperature for 4 hours in the dark. The mixture was then dialyzed against phosphate buffered saline (PBS) with azide overnight at room temperature to remove uncoupled biotin.
- PBS phosphate buffered saline
- Phosphate buffered saline is 32g NaCl, 0.8g KC1, 4.6g Na,HP0 4 , 0.8g KH 2 P0 4 in 1 liter H 2 0 (pH 7.2).
- PBST is PBS with 0.05% Tween 20 (Sigma Chemical Company, St. Louis, MO) .
- B-BSA biotinylated BSA
- the resulting biotinylated BSA (B-BSA) was used to coat the polyvinylchloride wells of enzyme immunoassay plates (Fisher, Edmonton, AB) .
- the B-BSA was bound to each well by adding approximately 100 ⁇ l of a 1:4000 dilution of the B-BSA solution to each well.
- the plates were incubated at 4°C temperature in a humid atmosphere for 16 hours (approximately overnight) .
- the unbound B-BSA solution was removed by washing the wells with PBST.
- the wells were then filled with Blocking Buffer (20% fetal calf serum (FCS) [GibcoBRL, Burlington, Ontario, Canada] in PBS) and incubated at 37°C temperature for 20 minutes.
- FCS fetal calf serum
- mice monoclonal anti-biotin antibody monoclonal anti-biotin antibody
- the excess antibody was removed by washing the wells three times with PBST.
- Duplicate wells were incubated at 37°C for 1 hour with increasing concentrations from 0.01 to 100 ⁇ g/ml of the competitors: avidin, streptavidin (Boehringer Mannheim, Indianapolis IN) or BSA, as a control, diluted in PBS.

Positive wells appear green. The OD reading was determined at 405-490 nm. Figure 1 shows that increasing concentrations of either avidin or streptavidin were able to effectively inhibit the interaction between biotin and the monoclonal anti-biotin antibody.
- the effect of time and temperature of incubation of the competitor on the biotin-antibody interaction was examined at two concentration levels of avidin and streptavidin by the method disclosed in Example l.
- the concentrations of avidin used were either 10 ⁇ g/ml or 50 ⁇ g/ml.
- the concentrations of streptavidin used were either 1.0 ⁇ g/ml or 5.0 ⁇ g/ml.
- the period of incubation of the avidin or streptavidin with the wells coated with B-BSA and treated with anti-biotin antibody varied from 0 to 60 minutes. The incubation was conducted at either room temperature or at 37 °C.
- Figure 2 shows that there was no significant difference between the inhibition obtained with 10 ⁇ g/ml and 50 ⁇ g/ml concentrations of avidin.
- increasing the temperature of incubation with avidin from room temperature to 37°C increased the initial rate at which antibody was eluted from the B-BSA coated wells. By 60 minutes the level of antibody remaining in the wells was the same, regardless of the incubation temperature or the concentration of avidin used.

- the column is washed with five to six volumes of PBS + 2% fetal calf serum to remove those cells lacking CD4.
- the positively selected CD4 cells are then eluted from the column by washing with PBS containing 5 ⁇ g/ml of streptavidin.
- This same process may also be used to deplete a cell population of a specific cell type by the process of negative selection.
