Circulating autoantibodies have been recognized as disease biomarkers of autoimmune diseases. We have previously disclosed a synthetic glycopeptide that is able to detect specific autoantibodies in sera of patients who are affected by multiple sclerosis (MS). This glycopeptide is characterized by a type I' beta-turn around the minimal epitope Asn(Glc) that allows an efficient exposure of this moiety to antibody interactions in the context of a solid-phase immunoenzymatic assay. With the aim of optimizing the glycopeptide-antibody interactions, we analyze a series of new glycopeptides based on different turn structures. Our results confirm the role of conformation in the recognition and binding of synthetic antigenic probes to MS autoantibodies. Glycopeptide 2, which is characterized by a type I beta-turn around the minimal epitope Asn(Glc), shows the highest antibody affinity (IC50 = 11.8 nM), and thus it appears to be a promising tool for the detection of specific autoantibodies as MS biomarker in patients' sera.
