Bioactivity and affinity with DR5-Fc comparison of TRAIL-Trimer, TRAIL-Fc and native TRAIL. (a) Bioactivity detection of TRAIL-Trimer, TRAIL-Fc and native TRAIL. The IC50 value of TRAIL-Trimer, TRAIL-Fc and native TRAIL were assessed using a TRAIL sensitive cell line COLO205 on a Real-Time Cell Analysis (RTCA) system. The IC50 value was obtained according to the dose-response cell index (CI) curve. The IC50 value of TRAIL-Trimer, TRAIL-Fc and native TRAIL is 23.2 ng/mL, 260.8 µg/mL, and 6.7 ng/mL, respectively. The bottom graph displays IC50 values when molar ratio-adjusted based on theoretical molecular weights for each protein. (b) Kinetic parameters of TRAIL-Trimer, TRAIL-Fc and native TRAIL binding to the soluble DR5-Fc fusion protein was assessed by biolayer interferometry measurements. The Super Streptavidin biosensor tips of the ForteBio Octet RED 96 were coated with biotinylated DR5-Fc. The biosensor tips were dipped in increasing concentrations gradient of the same molarity (15.4 nM–123.5 nM) to measure binding of TRAIL-Trimer, TRAIL-Fc and native TRAIL to DR5-Fc and subsequently moved to wells containing buffer (PBS) to measure dissociation rates. Detailed results are shown in Table 1.
