The conjugation of anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody with Fe3O4 coated by carboxymethyl dextran (CMD) using cyanogen bromide (CNBr) was shown to efficiently separate CD3+ T lymphocytes from whole blood with high purity. The method can be utilized for cell sorting and targeted MRI imaging in the future.
The conjugation of monoclonal antibodies with superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) has appeared as a potential multifunctional clinical tool, which can effectively diagnose cancers and monitor their treatment, specifically. Despite the presence of different methods for conjugating antibodies to iron oxide nanoparticles, novel cost-effective and simpler conjugation techniques should be performed in this regard. In current study, an anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody was conjugated to the Fe3O4 coated by carboxymethyl dextran (CMD) using cyanogen bromide (CNBr). Moreover, EDC/NHS techniques were applied as a positive control. The experimental results showed that the Conjugation was performed and the presence of the antibody conjugated to the MNPs in human xenograft tumors was confirmed using Prussian blue (PB) staining, following magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), 30 min after injection. This conjugation method was shown to be able to separate CD3+ T lymphocytes efficiently from whole blood with high purity. Accordingly, this type of bio-conjugation method can be utilized in the future for cell sorting, and can be applied for adopted cell therapies such as CAR-T cell (Chimeric antigen receptor T cell) therapy, as well as targeted MRI imaging.
