This article presents a novel application of mass spectrometry-based carbene chemical footprinting for identification of antibody binding epitopes. The technique allows for high-resolution mapping of epitopes at the single-residue level and has been validated using X-ray crystallography and yeast surface display epitope mapping. The characterized epitopes provide important information for understanding competitive binding results and accelerating the drug discovery process.
Characterization of antibody binding epitopes is an important factor in therapeutic drug discovery, as the binding site determines and drives antibody pharmacology and pharmacoki-netics. Here, we present a novel application of carbene chemical footprinting with mass spectrometry for identification of antibody binding epitopes at the single-residue level. Two different photoactivated diazirine reagents provide complementary labeling information allowing structural refinement of the antibody binding interface. We applied this technique to map the epitopes of multiple MICA and CTLA-4 antibodies and validated the findings with X-ray crystallography and yeast surface display epitope mapping. The characterized epitopes were used to understand biolayer interferometry-derived competitive binding results at the structural level. We show that carbene footprinting provides fast and high-resolution epitope information critical in the antibody selection process and enables mechanistic understanding of function to accelerate the drug discovery process.
