G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), especially chemokine receptors, are ideal targets for monoclonal antibody drugs. Considering the special multi-pass transmembrane structure of GPCR, it is often a laborious job to obtain antibody information about off-targets and epitopes on antigens. To accelerate the process, a rapid and simple method needs to be developed. The split-ubiquitin-based yeast two hybrid system (YTH) was used as a blue script for a new method. By fusing with transmembrane peptides, scFv antibodies were designed to be anchored on the cytomembrane, where the GPCR was co-displayed as well. The coupled split-ubiquitin system transformed the scFv-GPCR interaction signal into the expression of reporter genes. By optimizing the topological structure of scFv fusion protein and key elements, including signal peptides, transmembrane peptides, and flexible linkers, a system named Antigen-Antibody Co-Display (AACD) was established, which rapidly detected the interactions between antibodies and their target GPCRs, CXCR4 and CXCR5, while also determining the off-target antibodies and antibody-associated epitopes. The AACD system can rapidly determine the association between GPCRs and their candidate antibodies and shorten the research period for off-target detection and epitope identification. This system should improve the process of GPCR antibody development and provide a new strategy for GPCRs antibody screening.
