Purificação e caracterização do fragmento Fab anti-digoxina obtido pela técnica de phage display.

Abstract in Portuguese
A digoxina é um dos medicamentos indicados para o tratamento de falência cardíaca. Possui janela terapêutica estreita, sendo responsável por casos de intoxicação. O único antídoto disponível para a desintoxicação é o anticorpo policlonal DigiFab®, no formato Fab. O seu uso é eficaz, porém de custo elevado. Clones bacterianos produtores de fragmento Fab monoclonal anti-digoxina foram obtidos previamente pelo nosso grupo, pela técnica de phage display. Neste trabalho as variantes Fab dos 4 clones foram expressas em E.coli para estabelecer o método para a purificação. Com a obtenção dos fragmentos Fab purificados, foi caracterizada a sua afinidade ao antígeno e especificidade, em ensaios de inibição por digoxina, digitoxina, digoxigenina e ouabaina. Os parâmetros cinéticos da ligação dos fragmentos Fab dos 4 clones e do DigiFab® foram avaliados por SPR. Nas condições experimentais, não foram verificadas diferenças significativas entre os produtos dos 4 clones e o comercial, demonstrando o potencial dos fragmentos Fab monoclonais obtidos como antídoto à digoxina.

Abstract in English
Digoxin is a medication indicated for heart failure treatment. Its therapeutic window is narrow, being responsible for intoxication cases. The only antidote available for the detoxification is a polyclonal antibody - DigiFab® in Fab format. Its use is effective, but costly. Bacterial clones producing anti-digoxin monoclonal Fab fragments were previously obtained by our group using phage display technology. In this work the Fab variants of the 4 clones were expressed in E.coli to establish the purification method. The purified fragments were characterized regarding the affinity to the antigen and the specificity through inhibition assays with digoxin, digitoxin, digoxigenin and ouabain. The binding kinetic parameters of Fab fragments of the 4 clones and the commercial product to Dig-BSA conjugate were assessed by SPR. Under the experimental conditions no significant differences were observed among the 4 clones and the commercial product, demonstrating the potential of monoclonal Fab fragments as an antidote to digoxin.
