READ REVIEWER RESPONSES Introduction Huntington’s Disease (HD) is a neurodegenerative disorder inherited in an autosomal dominant manner, presenting with a spectrum of progressive motor, cognitive, and psychological impairments, typically with adult-onset of symptoms. 1 Although the HD causative gene, HTT , was discovered over three decades ago, there are still no disease-modifying treatments available for patients, and progress unpicking the molecular pathology of the disease remains slow. 2 HD arises from a heterozygous expansion mutation of the trinucleotide CAG repeat tract in exon 1 of HTT , located on chromosome 4, above a critical threshold of ~36 repeats. This mutation results in expansion of the polyglutamine stretch at the N-terminus of the 3144 amino acid Huntingtin protein. Huntingtin functions as a scaffold protein, engaging in extensive protein-protein interactions, 3 forming various multi-protein complexes to carry-out its diverse array of functions. Modulation of this interaction network by the polyglutamine expansion contributes to degeneration within the central nervous system, affecting medium spiny neurons at the onset of disease. 4 , 5 The low expression level, complex interactome and large size of the 348 kDa Huntingtin protein have given rise to technical challenges which have hindered precise determination of its molecular function, or how this is altered in disease. In particular, the use of different Huntingtin antibodies by scientists in the HD research community, often mapping to structurally distant epitopes, can yield different or even conflicting results, further conflating interrogation of this protein. 6 – 8 This research is part of a broader collaborative initiative in which academics, funders and commercial antibody manufacturers are working together to address antibody reproducibility issues by characterizing commercial antibodies for human proteins using standardized protocols, and openly sharing the data. 9 – 11 Here we evaluated the performance of twenty commercial antibodies for Huntingtin for use in western blot, immunoprecipitation, and immunofluorescence, enabling biochemical and cellular assessment of Huntingtin properties and function. The platform for antibody characterization used to carry out this study was endorsed by a committee of industry and academic representatives. It consists of identifying human cell lines with adequate target protein expression and the development/contribution of equivalent knockout (KO) cell lines, followed by antibody characterization procedures using most commercially available antibodies against the corresponding target protein. The standardized consensus antibody characterization protocols are openly available on Protocol Exchange (DOI: 10.21203/rs.3.pex-2607/v1 ). 12 The authors do not engage in result analysis or offer explicit antibody recommendations. A limitation of this study is the use of universal protocols - any conclusions remain relevant within the confines of the experimental setup and cell line used in this study. Our primary aim is to deliver top-tier data to the scientific community, grounded in Open Science principles. This empowers experts to interpret the characterization data independently, enabling them to make informed choices regarding the most suitable antibodies for their specific experimental needs. Guidelines on how to interpret antibody characterization data found in this study are featured on the YCharOS gateway. 13 Results and discussion Our standard protocol involves comparing readouts from WT (wild type) and KO cells. 14 , 15 The first step is to identify a cell line(s) that expresses sufficient levels of a given protein to generate a measurable signal. To this end, we examined the DepMap transcriptomics database to identify all cell lines that express the target at levels greater than 2.5 log 2 (transcripts per million “TPM” + 1), which we have found to be a suitable cut-off (Cancer Dependency Map Portal, RRID:SCR_017655). We generated an HTT KO line in DMS 53 as it expresses the endogenous HTT transcript at 6.1 log 2 (TPM+1), which is above the average range of cancer cell lines analyzed. A commercial HAP1 HTT KO is also available; HAP1 expresses HTT at 3.7 log 2 (TPM+1) RNA level. A HEK293T HTT KO cell line has been developed and used elsewhere 16 ( Table 1 ). All three cell line backgrounds were evaluated by western blot using a high-performing Huntingtin antibody detected in Figure 1 . DMS 53 was identified as the most suitable cell line ( Figure 2 ), which can be explained by its high expression of the HTT transcript compared to other two cell lines. Thus, DMS 53 WT and KO cell lines were generated and used to evaluate the antibodies in all applications. Table 1. Summary of the cell lines used.

Huntingtin antibody screening by western blot. Lysates of DMS 53 (WT and HTT KO) were prepared and 30 μg of protein were processed for western blot with the indicated Huntingtin antibodies. Tris-Glycine 4-20% gels were used for SDS-PAGE. The Ponceau stained transfers of each blot are presented to show equal loading of WT and KO lysates and protein transfer efficiency from the acrylamide gels to the nitrocellulose membrane. Antibody dilutions were chosen according to the recommendations of the antibody supplier. Exceptions were given for antibodies ab109115**, ab45169**, and MA5-41256** which were titrated as the signal was too weak when following the supplier’s recommendations.

We then assessed the capability of all twenty antibodies to capture Huntingtin from DMS 53 protein extracts using immunoprecipitation techniques, followed by western blot analysis. For the immunoblot step, a specific Huntingtin antibody identified previously (refer to Figure 1 ) was selected. Equal amounts of the starting material (SM), the unbound fraction (UB), as well as the whole immunoprecipitate (IP) eluates were separated by SDS-PAGE ( Figure 3 ). Figure 3. Huntingtin antibody screening by immunoprecipitation. DMS 53 lysates were prepared, and immunoprecipitation was performed using 2.0 μg of the indicated Huntingtin antibodies pre-coupled to Dynabeads protein A or protein G. The concentration of MA3-040* is unknown and therefore 5 μL of this antibody was tested. All samples were washed and processed for western blot with the indicated Huntingtin antibody. Tris-Glycine 4-20% gels were used for SDS-PAGE. For western blot, ab45169** was used at 1/5000. The Ponceau stained transfers of each blot are shown. SM=4% starting material; UB=4% unbound fraction; IP=immunoprecipitate. *Monoclonal antibody, **Recombinant antibody. For immunofluorescence, twenty antibodies were screened using a mosaic strategy. First, DMS 53 WT and HTT KO cells were labelled with different fluorescent dyes in order to distinguish the two cell lines, and the Huntingtin antibodies were evaluated. Both WT and KO lines were imaged in the same field of view to reduce staining, imaging and image analysis bias ( Figure 4 ). Quantification of immunofluorescence intensity in hundreds of WT and KO cells was performed for each antibody tested, 12 and the images presented in Figure 3 are representative of this analysis. Figure 4. Huntingtin antibody screening by immunofluorescence. DMS 53 WT and HTT KO cells were labelled with a green or a far-red fluorescent dye, respectively. WT and KO cells were mixed and plated to a 1:1 ratio on coverslips. Cells were stained with the indicated Huntingtin antibodies and with the corresponding Alexa-fluor 555 coupled secondary antibody including DAPI. Acquisition of the blue (nucleus-DAPI), green (WT), red (antibody staining) and far-red (KO) channels was performed. Representative images of the merged blue and red (grayscale) channels are shown. WT and KO cells are outlined with green and magenta dashed line, respectively. When an antibody was recommended for immunofluorescence by the supplier, we tested it at the recommended dilution and at 1 μg/ml. The rest of the antibodies were tested at 1 and 2 μg/ml. The final concentration of each antibody was selected based on the detection range of the microscope used and a quantitative analysis not shown here. Antibody dilutions corresponding to the images shown are: ab109115** at 1/1500, ab45169** at 1/1500, ABCD_AG854** at 1/500, ABCD_AG855** at 1/200, A19064** at 1/600, 5656** at 1/100, CH03023* at 1/1700, MW1-S* at 1/20, MW3-S* at 1/10, MW4-S* at 1/10, MW5-S* at 1/15, MW6-S* at 1/60, MW7-S* at 1/15, MW8-S* at 1/20, GTX132433 at 1/500, GTX638832** at 1/500, 710695** at 1/500, MA3-040* at 1/1000, MA5-16703* at 1/1000, MA5-41256** at 1/1000. Bars = 10 μm. *Monoclonal antibody, **Recombinant antibody. In conclusion, we have screened twenty commercial Huntingtin antibodies by western blot, immunoprecipitation, and immunofluorescence by comparing the signal produced by the antibodies in human DMS 53 WT and HTT KO cells. Several high-quality and renewable Huntingtin antibodies were identified in all applications. Researchers who wish to study Huntingtin in a different species are encouraged to select high-quality antibodies, based on the results of this study, and investigate the predicted species reactivity of the manufacturer before extending their research.

Continue reading READ ALL This manuscript by Fanti et al. presents a comprehensive evaluation of twenty commercially available HTT antibodies utilizing standardized experimental protocols. The study systematically assesses the suitability and sensitivity of these antibodies in Western blot, immunoprecipitation, and immunofluorescence applications, employing both wild-type and knock-out HTT cell lines. It would have been of additional support inclusion of immunohistochemistry, but this does not restrict the value of the work. The study addresses a critical technical challenge in Huntington’s Disease (HD) research, namely the variability in antibody performance, which has posed a significant issue within the field. The experimental approach is well conceived, designed, and executed. The data are presented in a clear and accessible manner, facilitating ease of interpretation. The findings provide valuable guidance for researchers seeking to source and utilize specific HTT antibodies in their investigations. Overall, this study constitutes a significant contribution to the HD research community, offering essential data to improve experimental consistency and reproducibility Is the rationale for creating the dataset(s) clearly described?

Continue reading READ ALL Fanti et al. evaluated twenty commercial antibodies against huntingtin for Western blot, immunoprecipitation, and immunofluorescence by employing a defined experimental approach that involved comparing results in deletion cell lines with isogenic parental controls. This study is a crucial guide that will significantly enhance research on huntingtin biology and Huntington's disease. The authors employed twenty commercial antibodies and three distinct cell lines, validating the antibodies across several assays. I have a question concerning IP. It is unclear whether the authors employed control beads as an extra control measure during the immunoprecipitation process. Figure 3 necessitates either control beads or immunoprecipitation conducted in knockout cells. Is the rationale for creating the dataset(s) clearly described?

Continue reading READ ALL This well-designed study validates twenty HTT antibodies by WB and IF. Based on the reviewer's experience and other studies, HTT is unstable after fixation in human tissue and cells (Ferrante, Gutekunst et al. 1997)(ref 2). Thus, the reviewer suggests providing the details of the fixation in IF and processing the WB sample in WB, especially the staining/blotting time after the fixation or harvesting WB (such as the staining performed immediately after fixation or 48 hours after fixation et al.). Minor concerns: The resolution of IF images is low. The cellular distribution patterns of HTT in cells are difficult to read. Thus, the reviewer encourages showing high-resolution images in IF, which can provide more detail of cellular distribution patterns. HTTs are easy to aggregate (DiFiglia, Sapp et al. 1997, Gutekunst, Li et al. 1999)(ref 1 and 3). The author only detected the single HTT but not the aggregate. Does the antibody that recognizes the single HTT also equally detect the aggregate of cells or tissue? Does the author try to detect the aggregate by those antibodies? Is the rationale for creating the dataset(s) clearly described? Yes Are the protocols appropriate and is the work technically sound? Partly Are sufficient details of methods and materials provided to allow replication by others? Partly Are the datasets clearly presented in a useable and accessible format? Yes References 1.

Continue reading READ ALL This manuscript by Fanti et al. has comprehensively characterized twenty commercially available HTT antibodies using cell lines which were either wild-type or knock-out for the HTT gene. HTT antibody suitability and sensitivity was assessed using standardized experimental protocols using the applications of western blot, immunoprecipitation, and immunofluorescence. This experimental approach was rationally conceived and executed, and the experimental dataset has been presented in a clear manner which was easy to follow and interpret. Overall, this data will be of great use should anyone within the Huntington’s disease research community wish to source and try any specific HTT antibody for their own research needs. Minor Comments and Recommendations Introduction: The expression level of the full-length HTT protein is not particularly “low” in brain tissues, it is peripheral tissues which express full-length HTT and low levels. Results and discussion: Table 1, it would be useful to report what lineage these cell lines used are from, and also state the CAG repeat size of these cell lines. The MW1 to MW7 antibodies, originally characterized in Ko, et al ., Brain Res. Bull., 2001, predominantly recognise mutant HTT isoforms where the pathogenic CAG tract has been expanded. Therefore, although stated in the figure legend of Fig. 1 “MW1-S*, MW3-S*, MW4-S*, MW5-S*, MW6-S*, MW7-S* and MW8-S* are expected to only recognize an altered conformation of the polyQ domain generated as the polyQ domain of Huntingtin increases in length.”, I am not sure why these antibodies were being tested here on wild-type DMS 53 cell lines where there was no expanded CAG mutation. A negative signal here was always to be expected. The MW8 antibody, originally characterized in Ko, et al ., Brain Res. Bull., 2001 [ref 1], and later mapped by Landles et al ., JBC, 2010 [ref 2], has been demonstrated to be a neo-epitope antibody specifically recognizing the highly pathogenic mutant HTT1a protein isoform. It has subsequently been shown in numerous research papers to not recognise the full-length HTT protein isoform, and so likewise, a negative signal here on wild-type DMS 53 cells was always to be expected. (It would be helpful if these two points were explained fully in the main body of text and not buried in the figure legend of Fig. 1). Since Fanti et al. was comprehensively characterizing commercial HTT antibodies, I was very surprised that the commercial monoclonal HTT-MAB5490 and HTT-MAB2166 antibodies were used in their analyses. These two monoclonal HTT antibodies are widely used throughout the entire Huntington’s disease research community, and characterising these here (maybe instead of the MW1-MW8 series) would have been more appropriate / valuable. Methods: In the interest of having all the methodologies used in this already concise manuscript, it would be helpful to the reader to have all the experimental methodologies within this section, as opposed to viewing them from another link online.

Continue reading READ ALL The article pointed out the current technical difficulties in studying Huntington’s Disease and identified the differences in antibodies to the protein Huntingtin, used throughout the HD research community, as a particular problem. The study formed part of the wider YCharOS collaboration to characterise commercial antibodies for human proteins using standardized protocols with the intention of improving antibody reproducibility issues. The study was an evaluation of twenty commercial antibodies for the protein Huntingtin for use in western blot, immunoprecipitation, and immunofluorescence. The study was well designed and the results were to a high technical standard and quality. The data is presented clearly and looks robust. It was reassuring to see that a committee of industry and academic representatives had endorsed the platform used. The platform consisted of identification of human cell lines suitable for antibody characterisation studies i.e. with adequate levels of Huntingtin, followed by the development of and contribution of isogenic knockout control cell lines, which were validated at the protein level. The final step was a series of antibody characterisation procedures, limited to the most common research uses of antibodies. Limitations of the study are clearly stated. Two minor errors were spotted. There is an inconsistency between the text and figure 3, where they mention IP was done on twenty antibodies in the text, but results for only ten antibodies are presented in the figure. Perhaps some additional text on why only ten were presented would be of use, or amend the text to reflect what is presented in the figure. A second error is that in the final results paragraph on immunofluorescence, figure 3 is cited, and linked back to, instead of figure 4. Overall, this will be a highly useful resource for scientists in the HD research community. Is the rationale for creating the dataset(s) clearly described? Yes Are the protocols appropriate and is the work technically sound? Yes Are sufficient details of methods and materials provided to allow replication by others? Yes Are the datasets clearly presented in a useable and accessible format? Yes Competing Interests: No competing interests were disclosed. Reviewer Expertise: drug discovery and diagnostics I confirm that I have read this submission and believe that I have an appropriate level of expertise to confirm that it is of an acceptable scientific standard.

Not approved Fundamental flaws in the paper seriously undermine the findings and conclusions This manuscript by Fanti et al. presents a comprehensive evaluation of twenty commercially available HTT antibodies utilizing standardized experimental protocols. The study systematically assesses the suitability and sensitivity of these antibodies in Western blot, immunoprecipitation, and immunofluorescence applications, employing both wild-type and knock-out HTT cell lines. It would have been of additional support inclusion of immunohistochemistry, but this does not restrict the value of the work. The study addresses a critical technical challenge in Huntington’s Disease (HD) research, namely the variability in antibody performance, which has posed a significant issue within the field. The experimental approach is well conceived, designed, and executed. The data are presented in a clear and accessible manner, facilitating ease of interpretation. The findings provide valuable guidance for researchers seeking to source and utilize specific HTT antibodies in their investigations. Overall, this study constitutes a significant contribution to the HD research community, offering essential data to improve experimental consistency and reproducibility Is the rationale for creating the dataset(s) clearly described?

Not approved Fundamental flaws in the paper seriously undermine the findings and conclusions Fanti et al. evaluated twenty commercial antibodies against huntingtin for Western blot, immunoprecipitation, and immunofluorescence by employing a defined experimental approach that involved comparing results in deletion cell lines with isogenic parental controls. This study is a crucial guide that will significantly enhance research on huntingtin biology and Huntington's disease. The authors employed twenty commercial antibodies and three distinct cell lines, validating the antibodies across several assays. I have a question concerning IP. It is unclear whether the authors employed control beads as an extra control measure during the immunoprecipitation process. Figure 3 necessitates either control beads or immunoprecipitation conducted in knockout cells. Is the rationale for creating the dataset(s) clearly described?

Not approved Fundamental flaws in the paper seriously undermine the findings and conclusions This well-designed study validates twenty HTT antibodies by WB and IF. Based on the reviewer's experience and other studies, HTT is unstable after fixation in human tissue and cells (Ferrante, Gutekunst et al. 1997)(ref 2). Thus, the reviewer suggests providing the details of the fixation in IF and processing the WB sample in WB, especially the staining/blotting time after the fixation or harvesting WB (such as the staining performed immediately after fixation or 48 hours after fixation et al.). Minor concerns: The resolution of IF images is low. The cellular distribution patterns of HTT in cells are difficult to read. Thus, the reviewer encourages showing high-resolution images in IF, which can provide more detail of cellular distribution patterns. HTTs are easy to aggregate (DiFiglia, Sapp et al. 1997, Gutekunst, Li et al. 1999)(ref 1 and 3). The author only detected the single HTT but not the aggregate. Does the antibody that recognizes the single HTT also equally detect the aggregate of cells or tissue? Does the author try to detect the aggregate by those antibodies? Is the rationale for creating the dataset(s) clearly described? Yes Are the protocols appropriate and is the work technically sound? Partly Are sufficient details of methods and materials provided to allow replication by others? Partly Are the datasets clearly presented in a useable and accessible format? Yes References 1.

Not approved Fundamental flaws in the paper seriously undermine the findings and conclusions This manuscript by Fanti et al. has comprehensively characterized twenty commercially available HTT antibodies using cell lines which were either wild-type or knock-out for the HTT gene. HTT antibody suitability and sensitivity was assessed using standardized experimental protocols using the applications of western blot, immunoprecipitation, and immunofluorescence. This experimental approach was rationally conceived and executed, and the experimental dataset has been presented in a clear manner which was easy to follow and interpret. Overall, this data will be of great use should anyone within the Huntington’s disease research community wish to source and try any specific HTT antibody for their own research needs. Minor Comments and Recommendations Introduction: The expression level of the full-length HTT protein is not particularly “low” in brain tissues, it is peripheral tissues which express full-length HTT and low levels. Results and discussion: Table 1, it would be useful to report what lineage these cell lines used are from, and also state the CAG repeat size of these cell lines. The MW1 to MW7 antibodies, originally characterized in Ko, et al ., Brain Res. Bull., 2001, predominantly recognise mutant HTT isoforms where the pathogenic CAG tract has been expanded. Therefore, although stated in the figure legend of Fig. 1 “MW1-S*, MW3-S*, MW4-S*, MW5-S*, MW6-S*, MW7-S* and MW8-S* are expected to only recognize an altered conformation of the polyQ domain generated as the polyQ domain of Huntingtin increases in length.”, I am not sure why these antibodies were being tested here on wild-type DMS 53 cell lines where there was no expanded CAG mutation. A negative signal here was always to be expected. The MW8 antibody, originally characterized in Ko, et al ., Brain Res. Bull., 2001 [ref 1], and later mapped by Landles et al ., JBC, 2010 [ref 2], has been demonstrated to be a neo-epitope antibody specifically recognizing the highly pathogenic mutant HTT1a protein isoform. It has subsequently been shown in numerous research papers to not recognise the full-length HTT protein isoform, and so likewise, a negative signal here on wild-type DMS 53 cells was always to be expected. (It would be helpful if these two points were explained fully in the main body of text and not buried in the figure legend of Fig. 1). Since Fanti et al. was comprehensively characterizing commercial HTT antibodies, I was very surprised that the commercial monoclonal HTT-MAB5490 and HTT-MAB2166 antibodies were used in their analyses. These two monoclonal HTT antibodies are widely used throughout the entire Huntington’s disease research community, and characterising these here (maybe instead of the MW1-MW8 series) would have been more appropriate / valuable. Methods: In the interest of having all the methodologies used in this already concise manuscript, it would be helpful to the reader to have all the experimental methodologies within this section, as opposed to viewing them from another link online.
