cloning and expression of the variable regions of anti-egfr monoclonal antibody in e. coli for production of a single chain antibody
Authors
abstract
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 smaller sizes and short circulation half-lives. objectives:the aim of this study was cloning, expression and purification of variable regions of anti-egfr monoclonal antibody in e. coli for production of single chain antibodies. materials and methods:the rna, extracted from the c225 hybridoma cells, was reverse transcribed into cdna and used for pcr amplification of genes encoding light and heavy chains from the variable regions. the pcr products were cloned and expressed in e. coli bl21 for production of a single chain antibody. the expressed protein was analyzed by sds-page and purified by ni-nta affinity chromatography. the reactivity of purified c225-scfv with egfr-expressing a431 tumor cell line was tested by western blotting and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. results:the results indicated that c225-scfv was highly expressed in e. coli and appeared as a protein with a mass of 27 kda in the sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (sds-page) analysis of the induced cell lysate. reactivity analysis of the purified c225-scfv with a431 tumor cell line by western blotting and enzyme linked immune sorbant assay (elisa) revealed high binding affinity of the recombinant c225-scfv to the target cells. conclusions:the results of this study indicated that c225-scfv is capable of binding to egfr and could be considered as a useful tool for diagnosis and treatment of egfr-overexpressing tumor cells.

Ricin, the toxic lectin extracted from the castor bean plant (Ricinus communis), consists of an A chain (RTA) and a B chain (RTB). Anti-A chain Abs and anti-B chain Abs can neutralize toxins in vivo and in vitro via blocking the binding of the toxin to the cell. Also, RTB protein is able to serve as an antigen deliver to the mucosal immune system and act as an immunoad...

faciliting lexical access for the fluent production of speech
the hypothesis is that recent and frequent exposure to lexical items leads to a more fluent production of speech in terms of rate of speech. to test the hypothesis,a one-way anova experimental design was carried out. 24 sednior students of efl participated in a one-way interview test. data analyses revealed that those who were exposed frequently to the lexical items over a week prior to inter...
