It enables the rapid generation and selection of high affinity, fully human antibody product candidates to essentially any disease target appropriate for antibody therapy. In this study, we prepared the recombinant single-chain fragment variable ( ScFv) antibody to hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBsAg) by the phage display technology for obtaining a virus-targeting mediator. METHODS: mRNA was isolated from B-lymphocytes from a healthy volunteer and converted into cDNA. The fragment variables of heavy and light chain were amplified separately and assembled into ScFv DNA with a specially constructed DNA linker by polymerase chain reaction. The ScFv DNA was ligated into the phagmid vector pCANT-AB5E and the ligated sample was transformed into competent E. coli TG1. The transformed cells were infected with M13K07 helper phage to form a human recombinant phage antibody library. The volume and recombinant rate of the library were evaluated by bacterial colony count and restriction analysis. After two rounds of panning with HBsAg. the phage clones displaying ScFv of the antibody were selected by enzyme-linked immunosorbant assay ( 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 anti-HBsAg ScFv. ELISA assay was used to detect the antigen binding affinity of the soluble anti-HBsAg ScFv. Finally, the relative molecular mass of soluble anti-HBsAg ScFv was measured by SDS-PAGE. RESULTS: The variable heavy ( VH ) and variable light (VL) and ScFv DNAs were about 340bp, 320bp and 750bp, respectively. The volume of the library was up to 2 × 106 and 8 of 10 random clones were recombinants. Two phage clones could strongly compete with the original HBsAb for binding to HBsAg. Within 2 strong positive phage clones, the soluble anti-HBsAg ScFv from one clone was found to have the binding activity with HBsAg. SDS-PAGE showed that the relative molecular weight of soluble anti-HBsAg ScFv was 32 kDa. CONCLUSION: The anti-HBsAg ScFv successfully produced by phage antibody technology may be useful for broadening the scope of application of the antibody.展开更多

The recombinant polypeptide PthA-NLS was injected into Balb/c mice to produce monoclonal antibody. Total RNA was isolated from the hybridoma cell line 3D10H2 which secreted anti- PthA-NLS McAb, and the variable region genes were amplified with specific primers by RT-PCR and SOE-PCR (splicing by overlap extension), and then the ScFv gene was isolated. The recombinant ScFv gene was cloned into pGEM-T and pET32a(+) vector. The later plasmid was transferred into E. coli BL21 (DE3) and the expression of the recombinant protein was induced. Three cell lines producing monoclonal antibody against PthA-NLS were acquired and named 1C8H1, 2D12B6, and 3D8A10. The recombinant ScFv gene of about 750 bp was constructed. The sequencing results showed that the ScFv gene consists of a 360 bp heavy chain, a 342 bp light chain, and a 45 bp linker region. The recombinant fusion ScFv protein was expressed by IPTG induction, and a 44.5 kDa of recombinant fusion protein was obtained. In conclusion, we obtained three cell lines stably producing monoclonal antibody specifically bound to PthA-NLS, and the relative ScFv gene was constructed and successfully expressed in E. coli. These results may play an important role in further understanding the pathogenesis mechanism and in the development of possible citrus resistant to canker disease by genetic transformation and plant antibiobody.展开更多

Single-chain antibodies are reconstructed for cancer-targeted therapy to provide good penetration into tumor tissue and to improve their pharmacokinetics in vivo, offering a clinically valuable application. The relationship needs to be analyzed that there may be some variations between the structure and function of the fusion proteins, and the relationship between the structure and function of protein molecules was obtained through analyzing relevant literature at home and abroad as well as modeling analysis. Through our analysis of the interaction region between antibody and antigen, and of the binding sites for molecular conformation, it is clear that existing antibodies need to be modified at the DNA sequence level, enhancing the biological activity of the antibodies. Based on the view that bio-molecular computer models are closely integrated with biological experiments, a bio-molecular structure-activity relationship model can be established in terms of molecular conformation, physical and chemical properties and the biological activity of single-chain antibodies. Two enlightenments are obtained from our analysis. On one hand, the structure-activity relationship is clear for new immune molecules at the gene expression level. On the other hand, a single-chain antibody molecule can be designed and optimized for the cancer-oriented treatment. In this article, we provided the theoretical and experimental basis for the development of single-chain antibodies appropriate for retinoblastoma therapy.展开更多

After four rounds of panning, four clones(H2, G5, A9, B9) from the phage display antibody library were verified to show higher binding affinity for cTnI by ELISA and to contain the variable region genes of the light and heavy chains of scFvs by sequencing. The variable region genes of scFvs H2 and G5 were successfully amplified by polymerase chain reactions(PCR) and cloned into expression vector pPELB and expressed as a soluble protein in E.coli Rosetta, whose expression yield was about 2% of total proteins. The expressed proteins were purified by nickel(Ni) affinity chromatography and a single band is shown in the position of 28 kDa on SDS-PAGE. The western blot analysis result verifies that the expressed scFv proteins are capable of binding with monoclonal antibodies against hexa-histidine, indicating that they are hexa-histidin-tagged aim proteins. The immunoassay demonstrates that the expressed scFv proteins are able to specifically react with cTnI molecules. The association constant(K_A) values range from 1.2×10 4 to 1.7 ×10 5 L/mol that are correspondent to the affinities of polyclonal antibodies against cTnI from rabbits. These antibodies can be valuable reagents for the immunoassay of cTnI.展开更多

OBJECTIVE: Based on successful screening of a human single-chain fragment variable antibody specific to amyloidβpeptide, this paper aimed to express recombinant human single-chain variable antibody against amyloid β peptide. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: A single sample experiment was performed at the Department of Nuclear Medicine, Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Hospital (Beijing, China) from January to July 2006. MATERIALS: Human single-chain fragment variable antibody gene against amyloid β peptide was screened from a human phage-display antibody library. METHODS: Human single-chain fragment variable antibody gene was mutated to eliminate a BamHI restriction site and cloned into a T easy plasmid for pT-scFvAβ construction, which was identified by PCR amplification and endonuclease digestion. Plasmid pT-scFvAβ was cut by EcoRI and NotI endonucleases, and the antibody gene was cloned into pPIC9K plasmid to construct pPIC9K-scFvAβ expression vector, which was confirmed by gene sequencing. Linearized pPIC9K-scFvAβ was used to transform a Pichia pastoris GS115 cell line, and the recombinant was induced by 0.5% methanol to express human single-chain fragment variable antibody specific to amyloid β peptide. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Protein electrophoresis was used to identify PCR products, gene sequencing was used to verify the pPIC9K-scFvA sequence, and SDS-PAGE was used to detect recombinant expression of human single-chain fragment variable antibody specific to amyloid β peptide in Pichia pastoris. RESULTS: Gene sequencing confirmed pPIC9K-scFvAβ orientation. Recombinants were obtained by linearized pPIC9K-scFvAβ transformation. After induction with 0.5% methanol, the recombinant yeast cells secreted proteins of 33-ku size. CONCLUSION: The expression vector pPIC9K-scFvAβ was successfully constructed. Human single-chain fragment variable antibody specific to amyloid β peptide was recombinantly expressed in Pichia pastoris.展开更多
