The magnetic nanoparticles displaying the class I major histocompatibility complex (MHC I) were biologically synthesized using the magnetotactic bacteriumMagnetospirillum magneticumAMB-1. Expression level and antigen peptide (HER263–71)-binding capability of the MHC I were evaluated on bacterial magnetic particles (BacMPs, also known as magnetosomes). Furthermore, the single-chain complexes of MHC I and HER263–71werede novodesigned for the magnetosome display system in order to improve the interaction between MHC I and HER263–71. Two types of the fusion arrangements were tested, and one of the complexes was estimated to fold into the correct conformation at the level of over 70%. In addition to the high folding ratio, an advantage of this system is that any refolding processes were not required even though theN-terminus of HER263–71peptide is not free, which conventional bacterial expression systems have never demonstrated. The as-prepared single-chain MHC I/HER263–71complex-displaying BacMPs (MHC I/HER2-BacMPs) specifically interacted with, and magnetically separated the HER263–71-induced cells, suggesting that the native T-cell receptor could recognize the engineered MHC I/HER2 complex on the BacMPs. By optimizing the magnetic sorting method, the MHC I/HER2-BacMPs developed in this study would be useful in immunotherapeutic applications.
