METHODS: The VH-linker-VL,namely scFv gene,was prepared by amplifying the VH and VL genes from plasmid pGEM-T-VH and pGEM-T-VL with splicing overlap extension polymerase chain reaction (SOE PCR). After the ScFv gene was modified by 5/71 and Not I,it was subcloned into the secretory expression vector pUC19/119, and then was transformed into E.coli TG1.The positive colonies were screened by colony PCR and their expressions were induced by IPTG.ScFv gene was gained by digesting ScFv expression vector pUC19/119 with 5/71 and NotI restriction enzymes, then subcloned into expression vector pDAP2, followed by transformation in E.coli TG1.The positive colonies were selected by bacterial colony PCR.The expression of fusion protein (scFv-AP) was induced by IPTG.Its activity was detected by enzyme immunoassay. The molecular weights of scFv and scFv-AP were measured by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). RESULTS: The product of SOE PCR formed a band of 700 bp in agarose gel electrophoresis. SDS-PAGE demonstrated the molecular weight of scFv was 27 ku.Immunofluorescent assay (IFA) demonstrated its reactivity with TfR.The molecular weight of scFv-AP was 75 ku.Enzyme immunoassay showed that scFv-AP could specifically bind to human TfR and play AP activity. CONCLUSION: We have successfully prepared the anti-human TfR scFv and constructed the fusion protein of scFv and AP.It is promising for immunological experiments.展开更多

The system is constructed with a modified helper phage M13KO7 and phagemid pCANTAB 5 E. The antigen fused to the C terminal of N1 N2 domain and the scFv to the N terminal of CT domain of the gIIIp of filamentous phage are encoded on the phage and phagemid vectors respectively. The phages produced by co transformants restore infectivity via interaction between antigen and antibody fusions in the cell periplasm. In a model system, the scFv fragment of the anti hemagglutinin 17/9 antibody and its corresponding antigen are detected in the presence of a 10 5 fold excess of a non interacting control pairs, which demonstrates this system to be very sensitive and facile to screen a large single chain antibody library.展开更多
