Human myeloma proteins (HMPs) from 10 patients with multiple myeloma (MM) were used to affinity-select peptides from a random phage-display peptide library. Binding peptides were identified for the 10 analysed antibodies (eight, immunoglobulin G (IgG), and two, immunoglobulin A (IgA)). The specificity of the binding was confirmed by competitive experiments using phages and chemically synthesized peptides. Interestingly, some phage-displayed peptides were immuno-selected with HMPs isolated from different patients. Sequence alignments and homology searches revealed a significant homology with human proteins (e.g. neural cell adhesion proteins) and pathogen-derived proteins (e.g. herpes simplex virus capsid proteins). The selected peptides could be useful as targeting agents for myeloma cells expressing surface immunoglobulins.
