چکیده

Background: The human heavy (VH) and light (VL) chain variable genes are amplified and randomly assembled together and cloned into the minor coat protein gene (g3p) of M13 bacteriophage. The resulting library of scFv is expressed on the phage as g3p fusion protein. The high affinity specific scFv antibodies can be selected against a key antigen using panning process. Our aim was development of scFv antibodies against P185 tumor antigen by recombinant phage antibody system and panning process. Methods: Antibody engineering technology was applied to lymphocyte mRNA of a non-immune donor and a scFv library was constructed. The library was panned against an immunodominant epitope of P185 which its reactivity had been tested with sera from breast cancer patients. DNA fingerprinting of the scFvs selected the predominated clones. These were then screened by ELISA. Results: A large library including high repertoires of VH and VL was constructed. DNA fingerprinting differentiated a number of clones. After selection against the immunodominant epitope of P185, nine clones were differentiated including two predominated scFv antibodies. The predominated antibodies were bound to the corresponding epitope and produced a positive ELISA. Conclusion: The high affinity P185 specific scFv antibodies which were originated from human genes and bound specifically to the P185 epitope are valuable clinical agents and have the potential to be used in cancer immunotherapy in which P185 overexpression and metastasis occurs.

Production and Evaluation of Specific Single-Chain Antibodies against CTLA-4 for Cancer-Targeted Therapy

Background:  Cytotoxic T lymphocyte–associated antigen 4 (CTLA-4) molecules are expressed on T-cells and inhibit their function by inhibiting activation of subsequent T-cell molecular pathways. Blocking of CTLA-4 inhibits the growth of malignant tumor cells. Anti-CTLA-4 monoclonal antibodies activate the immune system against cancer. Due to several advantages of single-chain antibodi...

Recombinant scFv Antibodies against P30 Surface Protein of Toxoplasma Gondii

Background & Aims: Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate, intracellular parasite, which is widely spread in the world. The parasite is able to infect all warm-blooded hosts including humans and farm animals. The infection in humans often occurs after the ingestion of raw or undercooked meat containing tissue cysts. Several methods have been applied to detect this parasite in contaminated foods. Reco...

Cloning and Expression of Recombinant Camelid Single-Domain Antibody in Tobacco

Antibodies provide a suitable tool in fundamental research and their high affinity and specificity make them invaluable for diagnostic and therapeutic applications. A promising alternative to conventional antibodies are the heavy chain antibodies (VHH) of Camelidae having short length, high solubility and stability are preferred to other antibody derivatives. In this study, our goal was product...

Cloning and Expression of the Variable Regions of Anti-EGFR Monoclonal Antibody in E. coli for Production of a Single Chain Antibody

Background:Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) overexpression is a characteristic of several malignancies and could be considered as an excellent target for designing specific inhibitors such as anti-EGFR monoclonal antibodies for cancer therapy. Drawbacks exerted by large sizes of full-length antibodies have lead to the development of single chain antibodies, which benefit from having smal...

Inhibition of tumor growth by a monoclonal antibody reactive with an oncogene-encoded tumor antigen.

The neu oncogene encodes a 185-kDa transmembrane glycoprotein tumor antigen, termed p185. We have recently described a monoclonal antibody reactive with a cell surface domain of the p185 molecule. In vivo treatment with this anti-p185 monoclonal antibody was able to significantly inhibit the tumorigenic growth of neu-transformed NIH 3T3 cells implanted into nude mice. Such treatment had no effe...
