Methods To analyze the flexibility, Hoop & Woods hydrophilicity and the epitope of Anti-CD3 ScFv-B7.1 fusion molecule at secondary structure level by computer simulation utilizing the GoldKey software. Results By comparing with Anti-CD3 ScFv and B7.1 respectively, it shows that Anti-CD3 ScFv-B7.1 fusion molecules can form correct secondary structure with the linking of the spacer, the fusion does not change the original hydrophilicity and epitopes of both Anti-CD3 ScFv and B7.1, no new epitopes emerge; The spacer is flexible and shows low antigenicity. Conclusion The design of Anti-CD3 ScFv-B7.1 fusion molecule are rational and feasible, the expressed fusion protein could retain the maximum biological activity and the function of both Anti-CD3 ScFv and B7.1.展开更多
