Abstract

Over the past year, the BIAcore™ system (which is based on the surface plasmon resonance phenomenon) has become increasingly popular for the study of macromolecular interactions. This biomolecular interaction analysis system allows the detection of macromolecular interactions in real time and in a label-free mode. The real-time detection properties of this technique suggest its potential in the generation of data relating to the kinetics of interaction of biomolecules.

      Therefore, at lower concentrations, Enbrel® diffuses more readily towards and away from the biosensor surface resulting in greater kinetic rate constants with respect to higher Enbrel® concentrations (i.e., kon,1 > kon,2 and koff,1 > koff,2). This model is similar to that previously described by O’Shannessy [26] for explaining mass transport limitations of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) for the determination of the kinetic rate (kon, koff) and equilibrium (KA, KD) constants. Mass transport limitations highlighted in Fig. 4 explain the decrease of kon and koff as Enbrel® concentration increases (Table 1).

      Initial clinical results suggested that the dose needed to be higher and this raised several questions as to the accuracy of the affinity measurements using surface plasmon resonance (SPR) technology. Although SPR has been one of the best methods to determine high-affinity-binding constants, the experimental design needs to be thoroughly explored because of many artifacts that can occur, mainly as the results of immobilizing of one of the reactants to the carboxymethyldextran on the gold surface used in SPR (O'Shannessy, 1994; Trilling, Harmsen, Ruigrok, Zuilhof, & Beekwilder, 2013). In order to address this issue, a competitive binding AUC method was developed.

      The bi-phasic binding is thought to be a result of non-specific interactions which occur at higher concentrations. The KD value for the interaction between R3-26 and immobilized Internalin B was derived by fitting the data to a steady state model (O'Shannessy, 1994). This analysis allows the determination of the KD value but not the kon and koff values; hence these kinetic constants are not reported in the case of R3-26.
