Refolding Technologies for Antibody Fragments
نویسندگان
چکیده
Refolding is one of the production technologies for pharmaceutical grade antibody fragments. Detergents and denaturants are primarily used to solubilize the insoluble proteins. The solubilized and denatured proteins are refolded by reducing the concentration of the denaturants or detergents. Several refolding technologies have been used for antibody fragments, comprising dilution, dialysis, solid phase solvent exchange and size exclusion chromatography, as reviewed here. Aggregation suppressor or folding-assisting agents, including arginine hydrochloride, ionic liquids and detergents or denaturants at low concentrations, are included in the refolding solvent to enhance refolding yield.

Immobilized oxidoreductase as an additive for refolding inclusion bodies: application to antibody fragments.
Three foldases--the apical domain of GroEL (mini-chaperone) and two oxidoreductases (DsbA and DsbC) from Escherichia coli--were studied in refolding a protein with immunoglobulin fold (immunoglobulin-folded protein) that had been produced as inclusion bodies in E.coli. The foldases promoted the refolding of single-chain antibody fragments from denaturant-solubilized and reduced inclusion bodies...
متن کاملThe disulfide bonds in antibody variable domains: effects on stability, folding in vitro, and functional expression in Escherichia coli.
The formation of the disulfide bonds in the variable domains VH and VL of the antibody McPC603 was found to be essential for the stability of all antigen binding fragments investigated. Exposure of the Fv fragment to reducing conditions in vitro resulted in irreversible denaturation of both VH and VL. In vitro refolding of the reduced Fv fragment was only possible when the disulfide bonds were ...
متن کاملSingle-domain antibody fragments with high conformational stability.
A variety of techniques, including high-pressure unfolding monitored by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, fluorescence, circular dichroism, and surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy, have been used to investigate the equilibrium folding properties of six single-domain antigen binders derived from camelid heavy-chain antibodies with specificities for lysozymes, beta-lactamases, and a dye...
متن کاملThe scFv fragment of the antibody hu4D5-8: evidence for early premature domain interaction in refolding.
Fluorescence spectroscopy and 1H/2H-exchange techniques have been applied to characterize the folding of an scFv fragment, derived from the humanized anti-HER2 antibody hu4D5-8. A stable intermediate, consisting of a native VL domain and an unfolded VH domain, is populated under equilibrium unfolding conditions. A partially structured intermediate, with 1H/2H-exchange protection significantly l...
متن کاملSelection of single-chain variable fragments specific for Mycobacterium tuberculosis ESAT-6 antigen using ribosome display
Objective(s): Tuberculosis (TB) is still one of the problematic infectious diseases in developing countries, especially in Iran. In the present study, we applied ribosome display technique to select single chain variable fragments (scFvs) specific for the 6-kDa early secretory antigenic target (ESAT-6) antigen of Mycobacterium tuberculosis from a mouse scFv library. Materials and Methods: The g...
