Then, 3C6 VL cDNA was sequenced by Sanger's method.Homologous analysis was done by NCBI BLAST.Results: The complete nucleotide sequence of 3C6 VL cDNA consisted of 321 bp encoding 107 amino acid residues, containing four workframe regions(FRs)and three complementarity-determining regions (CDRs) as well as the typical structure of two cys residues. The sequence is most homological to a member of the Vk9 gene family, and its chain utilizes the Jkl gene segment.Conclusion: The light chain variable region gene of the McAb against human RB was amplified successfully , which belongs to the Vk9 gene family and utilizes Vk-Jk1 gene rearrangement. This study lays a good basis for constructing a recombinant antibody and for making a new targeted therapeutic agents against retinoblastoma.展开更多

The two genes were sequenced, analyzed by computer and expressed in E. colt. No genes in EMBL Gene Bank 1995were found identical to the VH and VL genes. VH and VL genes consisted of 366 and 324 base pairs respectively.Both VH and VL genes were open reading frames and had antibody characteristics. The two genes were insertedinto expression vector pGEX-4T-1. The results showed that GST-VH and-VL fusion proteins were of anticipated sizes. VH and VL genes were confirmed as functionally rearranged mouse lmmunoglobulin variable region genes.展开更多

The isotype of this antibody was IgGl, k. In the present study, we used a set of oligonucleotide primers to amplify the cDNA of mouse immunoglobulin heavy and light chain variable region genes by the polymerase chain reaction. Sequence analysis of the heavy variable region indicated that the VH region was highly homologous to the plasmacytoma cell line MOPC21 gene, and closely related to germline genes of the VHⅢ family. The JH region was encoded by the JH3 gene. For the light chain, the VK segment of the antibody showed the highest homology to the germline VKOXl gene,and the JK region was JK5.展开更多

METHODS: mRNA was isolated from the hybridoma cell line producing MC3 and the DNAs encoding variable domains of heavy and light chains (VH and VL) of the antibody were amplified separately by RT-PCR and assembled into ScFv DNA with a linker DNA. The ScFv DNA was ligated into the phagemid vector pCANTAB5E and the ligated sample was transformed into E.coli TG1.The transformed cells were infected with M13KO7 helper phage to yield recombinant phages. After two rounds of panning with gastric carcinoma cell line AGS highly expressing MC3-binding antigen, the phage clones displaying ScFv fragments of the antibody were selected by ELISA. 4 phage clones showing strong signal in ELISA were used to infect E.coli HB2151 to express soluble ScFvs. The soluble ScFvs were identified by Dot blot and Western blot, and their antigen-binding activity was assayed by ELISA. The VH and VL DNAs of the ScFv DNA derived from phage clone 19 were sequenced. RESULTS: The VH,VL and ScFv DNAs were about 340 bp, 320 bp and 750 bp respectively. After two rounds of panning to the recombinant phages, 18 antigen-positive phage clones were selected from 30 preselected phage clones by ELISA. All the soluble ScFvs derived from the 4 out of the 18 antigen-positive phage clones were about M(r)32000 and concentrated in periplasmatic space under the given culture condition. The soluble ScFvs could bind the antigen, and they shared the same binding site with MC3. The sequences of the VH and VL DNAs of the MC3 ScFv showed that the variable antibody genes belonged to the IgG1 subgroup,kappa-type. CONCLUSION: The soluble ScFv of MC3 is successfully produced, which not only provides a possible novel targeting vehicle for in vivo and in vitro study on associated cancers, but also offers the antibody a stable genetic source.展开更多

We found that 2 and 3 mAbs utilized genes of the VHIV and VHIII families, respectively. The former 2 VH segments were in germline configuration. A common VH segment, with the best similarity of 90.1 % to the published VHIII germline genes, was utilized by 2 different rearranged genes encoding the V regions of other 3 mAbs. This strongly suggests that the common VH segment is a unmutated copy of an unidentified germline VHIII gene. All these polyreactive mAbs displayed a large NDN region (VH-D-JH junction). The entire H chain V regions of these polyreactive mAbs are unusually basic. The analysis of the charge properties of these mAbs as well as those of other poly- and mono- reactive mAbs from literatures prompts us to propose that the charged amino acids with a particular distribution along the H chain V region,especially the binding sites (CDRs), may be an important structural feature involved in antibody polyreactivity.展开更多

METHODS: mRNA was isolated from MG MG(7) producing murine hybridoma cell line and converted into cDNA. The variable fragments of heavy and light chain were amplified separately and assembled into ScFv with a specially constructed DNA linker by PCR. The ScFvs DNA was ligated into the phagmid vector pCANTAB5E and the ligated sample was transformed into competent E. Coli TG1. The transformed cells were infected with M13K07 helper phage to form MG MG(7) recombinant phage antibody library. The volume and recombinant rate of the library were evaluated by means of bacterial colony count and restriction analysis. After two rounds of panning with gastric cancer cell line KATO III of highly expressing MG(7)-binding antigen, the phage clones displaying ScFv of the antibody were selected by ELISA from the enriched phage clones. The antigen-binding affinity of the positive clone was detected by competition ELISA. HB2151 E. Coli was transfected with the positive phage clone demonstrated by competition ELISA for production of a soluble form of the MG(7) ScFv. ELISA assay was used to detect the antigen-binding affinity of the soluble MG(7) ScFv. Finally, the relative molecular mass of soluble MG(7) ScFv was measured by SDS-PAGE. RESULTS: The V(H), V(L) and ScFv DNAs were about 340bp, 320bp and 750bp, respectively. The volume of the library was up to 2 X 10(6) and 8 of 11 random clones were recombinants. Two phage clones could strongly compete with the original MG(7) antibody for binding to the antigen expressed on KATO III cells. Within 2 strong positive phage clones, the soluble MG(7) ScFv from one clone was found to have the binding activity with KATO III cells. SDS-PAGE showed that the relative molecular weight of soluble MG(7) ScFv was 32. CONCLUSION: The MG(7) ScFv was successfully produced by phage antibody technology, which may be useful for broadening the scope of application of the antibody.展开更多
